Hi everyone! What was your favorite item from the video?🤗👇

[MarilynPhillips]

You are so thoughtful and intentional. The world could use more like you.

I had a real problem with clothes shopping and holding on to whatever clothing I had even if I didn't wear it! To the tune of four or five closets full! I've decluttered 12 bags of clothing so far and I'm down to two closets. Need to go through again and declutter more! Your videos are helping!

[tntl]

Your wardrobe looks really nice on you! It's funny because most of it is miles away from what i would pick out for myself, but on you it all makes perfect sense and looks so coherent and peaceful! Nice how you're showing people how good it looks when someone embraces their own looks, taste and values!

[tanilatanila]

I share your point on wearing clothes for years. I do it too. I even have a sweater that my mom wore before I was born (I am in my late 20s) and it still looks better than some new items in stores. I have never bought something because it was fashionable at the time but because I liked it and my wardrobe consists mainly of things I have had for 7-8 even 10 years.

[annfarrell]

Vera, your wardrobe is lovely and well thought out. I’m impressed with the fact that you have cared for each piece, allowing for years of use.
That’s commendable, esp. in this world of “fast fashion”. Thanks for sharing.

[RedMapleCanada]

All your clothes are so beautiful, cozy, and versatile for styling. I enjoyed watching, very inspiring. 👍😍

[hairbandchick]

Blue is a beautiful color on you. It really enhances your fair skin and brings out your blue eyes!

[bollybelly]

I think a black or navy pencil skirt in a comfortable and not too clingy fabric that hits about mid knee would look great on you. It would pair nicely with your tops and sweaters. Your sneakers would look cute with it too!

[connellkellymarie]

I love the pink sweater💗 & the white lace "trendy" blouse!!!🤍
Yes, you look pretty in the light green top!🥰

[ksk]

I liked the green on you. Green can be hard to wear for those of us with fair skin and blonde hair, but you picked the perfect shade of green. I love your pink sweater best I think. I finally gave up on inexpensive tee shirts that lose their shape after a few washes and added 5 nice black tops as my basic look. My body shape has changed, so rather than living in pajama bottoms, I invested in two pair of jeans that actually fit. Thank you for being the catalyst I needed to have clothes that fit NOW rather than waiting for the elusive day that my 69 year old body will look like it did when I was 30! It feels very freeing. Have a wonderful weekend, Vera.😇

Hello Vera! My clóset is based on comfort and life style...so, instead of jeans, I prefer leggins for Winter and dresses for Summer. Greetings from Argentina 💙

[BetterNeurodivergentTravel]

Your point about not having formal things made me think of a coral pink strappy maxi dress I bought on holiday... it's so impractical and there's so much fabric that it takes up too much space in a suitcase. It's in the maybe pile!

[shannonlove]

I've been wanting to minimize my wardrobe for months now. Yours is the first video I've seen on the topic that make it seem doable for me. Thank you for your great content!

[lieslherman]

I honestly love the white top!! It might be a "trend" piece, but I find the puffy sleeve shape to be so flattering and feminine and found I added several tops to my own wardrobe with them since I know I won't be able to find them anymore, soon. Honestly, I have always found your wardrobe so lovely--it matches your soft and calm personality, looks so put together, and inspires me to keep things limited to things I love. Helps we have similar taste! ;)

[ronnie-lynn]

That mint green shirt looks fabulous on you! 😍 mint & lavender are two pops of Color I have in my wardrobe. I can surprisingly wear so many different ways! Also I’m the most comfortable in my ankle length skirts! I love wearing them to church on Sunday’s!

[talkintime]

I thought I had paired down my clothing but now you really have me thinking about more items taking up realestate in my closet that can find a happier home. Post COVID shutdown more of my coworkers have commented on how comfort is key now in getting dressed and I agree. I need to re-evaluate also the "fantasy me" lurking in my wardrobe and will feel so much better to have more breathing room in my closet when it's all said and done.

[carolynm.]

Love your wardrobe. It suits you. My fav is your pink sweater and green winter jacket.
I have been decluttering my wardrobe for 3+ years.
I am down to 58 items from 120. Everything is comfortable, my colors and appropriate for my figure.
I have learned so much from YouTubers like yourself regarding proportions, quality, fit, longevity and personal style. Occasionally an item doesn’t work out, I immediately donate to charity even if I only wore it one time.
This is the most satisfied I have ever been with my wardrobe.
Thank you for sharing your life.

[pigletsbank]

Very happy

Most stay many years, if something is done I replace it, no sooner.🤗 So easy😅

I think my biggest problem is that I'm not particularly attached to clothing, but if I truly only kept what I loved or what I was attached to, I would have a pretty useless closet for my lifestyle. I'm forced to keep half of my closet for practicality reasons. Like you, I have clothes that are a decade old that I wear regularly, and if I wanted to, could keep wearing for another handful of years. Another problem I have is getting rid of older clothing that is showing its age collars, very faded, etc) but is still wearable because other people are unlikely to notice the wear and tear that I notice.
