I refuse to buy from the fast Chinese fashion anymore as like you said… “someone is paying for those cheap prices somewhere” and you know it’s the workers that are not getting paid a liveable wage! I’d much rather have quality clothing over quantity clothing anyway! I recently saw a video from another KZfaq creator who linked a list of some fashion brands that contribute to that type of labour… And some of them are notable fashion brands…☹️😞

@sharronwolfe7711 Жыл бұрын

I agree with almost everything you said and have noticed that I have been heading toward more natural fabrics, as well. I do still wear color, but it is more muted than the big brights I used to love. For church I am ditching the slacks unless they go with a blazer and top/blouse that makes a great outfit. I like dresses and blazers a lot! And I’m really coming to love the classics! REALLY enjoyed this video!!!

@joyful8072 Жыл бұрын

This was an interesting video. I started out in my career and fashion selections using natural fibers and well cut garments. As I got older, I started adding bold prints and florals and even later added synthetics here and there. I'm not a fan of synthetic material, though I do appreciate some spandex in certain garments to give stretch. I am now moving back toward natural fibers in neutral tones and trying to get rid of my patterned items. I can't believe how much pattern I own, and I came to realize I had nothing to wear since they didn't go together, lol. These days, I look for solid pieces for the most part unless it is classic stripes.

Absolutely your best video yet, and I love them all! Yes, natural fibers all the way! I am doing the same, weeding out synthetics and purchasing only natural fibers. They are more comfortable and more durable. My best jewellery is vintage, mainly silver and turquoise from the Southwest. The quality pieces in my closet from LL Bean, Talbots, and even Coldwater Creek have lasted for years, and are never really out of style because they are not trendy. Anyway, anything is "stylish" with the right accessories and the right attitude! Thank you again for this great video, Oralia!

Thank you for the comment on temu, I felt that way too. I like the small floral or gentle plaids. I tend to wear darker skirts and pants. Maybe prints on top or as dresses. Helps to hide the tiny stains I attract and can't always get out. I usually do wear dresses or skirts. I am working on adding only shoes and boots that are good for my feet and not super frumpy. Bad feet/ankles and swelling makes most of the really cute ones not for me. Thanks for all your tips.

Great video! Buying fewer things of better quality is the way to go in more than just clothing. I look for the natural fibers but almost impossible to avoid I certain areas - work out gear, swimsuits, bras. I travel a lot so I will sometimes allow a small percentage of synthetic fiber as it can provide benefits of stretch, wrinkle release, and quick drying.

I only buy natural fibers because I have eczema that makes synthetic fibers very unpleasant. I also cannot stand synthetic fibers in hot weather- it’s like being zipped into a plastic garbage bag. I told BloomChic their use of predominantly synthetic fibers is a deal killer for me. I buy mostly 100% cotton tops or cotton/polyester blends that I can comfortably wear. Denim jeans and capris along with cotton pants and joggers are what is in my wardrobe.

I also prefer leather bags instead of “faux leather” ones. Same goes for footwear. I agree that the colorful eyeshadows are beautiful on others…it’s just not my style.

I love your style and Grace and also try and only purchase quality over quantity. Even though I love all the neutrals on you, I am a big colors gal. I am so attracted to pinks, blues in a variety of shades. When I go in a store I am always heading to the colors. I have learned, since watching your videos to give neutrals a chance. I think because my skin tone is fair, I feel like color brightens me up. I am alot more picky with what I purchase now and insistent on natural fabrics and stay away from polyester.

No synthetics, check. They don't hold up and put microplastics right into the water every time you wash them. High quality, check. This is a lot harder to find. Sometimes you need to be able to replace a button or hem a pair of slacks. Cheap low quality clothing is made off the backs and labor of others. Going with colors and patterns that make you feel good. Check. Leave the one-hit-wonders on the hanger and rent your special occasion wardrobe, check. Keep the trends to a minimum, check. Paired down make up, check. Structured bags are the bomb! Oh my goodness, I gave up pencil skirts a few years back. Our bodies change as we age so that is a thing. I am also plus size petite and live in the NW. While we have different styles, I love your advice.

Regarding Shein etc - I always wonder why the more expensive shops are more expensive? I guess (and its just a guess) that pretty much all of them are having their products made in the same areas, with the same methods, same work enviroment, some times even using the same factories etc? And I am pretty sure that the environment, the production line workers and so on are not benefiting from the higher sales prices? But I hope that I am wrong. Like Amazon, HM, ZARA, Mango, Dior, Tommy Hillfiger etc etc - do we know how much they pay their workers in asia, how well thier factories recycle and dont emit polution etc? Or is it that simple - Higher prices = better conditions all over? And how do I as a consumer find out on my own? Its a jungle imo 😳

@Oralia_Martinez Жыл бұрын

It's tricky, especially for plus size. Look for small batch, independent brands that provide transparency. Reformation, Universal Standard are good options. Also Sezane carries extended sizing; they're on my list to try out to see what that means, exactly. 😉

I am super struggling with the conservative/tailored style and really bold prints/stripes/color. I actually feel really comfortable in both styles, but I think my look is very inconsistant. As a career consultant I know the importance of consitancy in a personal brand. Not sure of what to do just yet.

You could try incorporating one bold piece with the more tailored pieces to bring a bit of balance. Or get bold pieces in classic tailored cuts and silhouettes. 😉

Have you thought of maybe doing wardrobe “modules” for different situations, for example work clothes more conservative and non-work things could be your more bold style. This way you get to wear both regularly. And of course some things could be used for both wardrobes, such as a jacket or a scarf or a pair of shoes.
