I do my laundry similarly to you but after air drying over a rack I toss my items in the dryer on air fluff to soften them. Works like a charm!

I think that when women feel their waists or hips are “too large” there is a temptation to hide them with looser pieces that skim over their entire bodies. The problem is that this makes every part of their body look as large as their largest part. Show off the part you are happier with. If you think your hips and tummy are too large to tuck a shirt, try tucking in just the front and blousing it a little. If you think your hips are too big, tuck and belt and then add a blazer or cardigan to create a “skinny” pillar down the front. Or don’t wear the jacket and just show off your waist and curves. Whatever part you are happiest with, give yourself the opportunity to show it off.

It would be interesting to see how you edit your wardrobe and decide which items to remove (and why). I’m sure many of us can relate to and learn from the pros/cons of your experiences.🤩

Kay, this was such a helpful video!! I think as a young girl without a lot of money I was taught that you should save those beautiful clothes for a special occasion, but then I found that they were just sitting in my closet. What a great sense of freedom to wear them for everyday, not to mention that they just make you feel great!! Thanks and btw, that sweater looks great on you!

I'm glad that you addressed this issue of fashion mistakes, Kay. Your videos are always full of well-researched, practical content. I found your YouTube videos a few months ago when I was struggling with negative body-image issues that were affecting my self-esteem and willingness to get out and about. At age 61, post-menopause, my recent retirement and too much stress-eating during the pandemic had left me feeling embarrassed about changes to my body shape and unsure how to dress myself. My tummy has been the most challenging issue and your advice about that problem area has worked a miracle for me! I love to watch your videos for the great fashion advice but also because your warmth and kindness just really brighten my days. So thank you for all that hard work you do and thanks for being such a lovely person.

This was just the advice I needed to hear! As a 57 year old, I know my style but fall prey to the influence of “the trend”. Stick to what makes me feel good, limit colors for a season as you stated to keep things simple and incorporate trends in less expensive items…jewelry etc.

Love these tips, Kay! I just recently had double mastectomy and I'm not having reconstruction. I'm opting for smallish prosthetic instead. I'm just now getting to the point where I'm interested in dressing for my day. I'm still spending time in my pg's (4 weeks out of surgery) but today I did dress and makeup for bible study. Thank you for all this work. It is inspiring to me...but even more since my cancer diagnosis. Much love...

[dianecaird]

Kay, this is seriously one of your best videos. I have spent sooo much money on clothes in the past and have nothing to wear. Thank you !

[robbieb.]

I’d love to see your take on a minimalist
“Classic style”wardrobe for fall winter.

[sherriedavis]

I am SO happy you mentioned a critical spirit (I am guilty of this myself). Thank you for helping me realize I can appreciate every woman’s individual style and freeing me to be the best me😊

[PolishedAfterSixtyYvette]

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been enticed into buying something that just sits in my closet. Much better when you buy items that match and go with at least 3 other things in your wardrobe. TFS all these great tips.😊🙏🏻

[dreileigh]

Who could ever be offended with you, Kay. You are all about teaching and guiding for our good.... What a blessing you have been.

[pbarry]

I wish I had learned all these things growing up, but I am thankful to have discovered you and others who have helped. We’re all learning even “over 50”. And PTL for mercy and grace towards ourselves and others.

[ddittmar]

Lots of helpful information, but the biggest thing I got from this video was the contrast explanation. I kept seeing people talking about it in other videos, but I didn't "get it". You explained it so much more clearly and I LOVE the examples you showed afterward. NOW I get it! Thank you so much for making this video. And my husband thanks you, too. I've definitely been spending too much money on clothes for a long time only to get rid of them after wearing them a few times. That stops today.

This was a very well done video; I love color and have done the color analysis and made the mistake of adding too many colors; buying the wow jacket or outfit that doesn’t work with anything else, having trouble letting go of old pieces that used to represent my style…the list goes on. 😁

[maryokeefe]

This is a gold mine of great and useful content, Kay. Thank you! On the topic of colour intensity, or high-contrast vs. lower-contrast colouring, would you consider doing another video just on this topic? It would be helpful to see pictures of other women and what colours suit them best vs. outfits which did not suit them as well. A good example of high-contrast colouring is the beautiful Amal Clooney. She looks amazing in red, mustard yellow, etc. In northern climates, we are bombarded with black clothing, although it does not flatter everyone. I'd appreciate more detail on this topic if you can. Love your channel and your kind and gracious manner.

[lorilott]

You’re so right about trying something several times. The key is taking a picture of yourself in the outfit and looking at it over and over again. This is such good advice Kay, I’ve done it and it changed my perspective of an outfit from bad to good.

[kateionescu]

Thank you for speaking on these subjects. Many of us just need a little push to try something new and once we get our confidence up and we wear that new item we find we Like them. I really enjoy listening to you and trust your advice.

[kristeng]

I love your advice on colors. I never heard it explained quite that way before as far as how to select your neutrals and signature colors. So helpful. Thank you.

[marciafirst]

Some of the best advice you’ve given is to invest mostly in basics, adding in some trends here and there. I’ve been following this advice the past couple of years, and it has made getting dressed so much easier. My wardrobe is so much more versatile. Again, thanks for another great video.
