Congratulations on your new home being completed! You’ll have to do a tour for us. I’m 65 and my experience post menopause is regular exercise and watching what you eat is 90 percent. I’ve stopped drinking alcohol since December it surprised me how much better I feel and yes I lost 5 lbs in a month. The biggest diet tip is 16:8 intermittent fasting. If you eat sensibly along with this you will lose the weight. I know you do Tracy Anderson, so keep us posted on that. Personally I do best going to a studio, it’s been my habit since the 80s. Best wishes in your new home.

You are so right about dry cleaning, they tragically ruined some of my favorite pieces or lost them altogether! Never going back. One trick I learned from a friend who works in theater costume design is to have a mini spray bottle with straight vodka. Give areas that are starting to smell a bit ripe a little spritz and let dry. It works every time and I've never had any problems with fabrics or dye.

I agree about dry cleaning, I have had several things ruined, also in the past my items had a strong odor. I no longer send my things to the dry cleaners.

Hi Erin, I love your fashion tips as always, but I also appreciate your openness and honesty about body image. Personally, I find it refreshing to be able to hear someone be (reasonably) critical and have standards on how they want their body to look rather than portraying those things as anti-body positivity etc. At the end of the day, being comfortable in one's own skin--no matter what that means to each of us personally--is such an important part of enjoying fashion! 😎💙

Erin - I love your honesty about your menopause journey. I'm always trying to share what I've experienced too and hope it's helpful to others! You inspire me! xoxo

Great video Erin! I was able to find many stylish items at thrift stores during my weight loss journey without spending too much on my “transitional” wardrobe!

Ok - I know we're talking about fashion but..... Ohhhhh, new house! Can't wait to see it, please do a tour! And sticking with fashion, maybe a closet tour and how you organized it?

Great video! Love when you discuss your venture with menopause. I can relate! Love all your fashion tips!

Your new studio is beautiful, Erin! I’m 54 and you’re so right about fat dispersing in new areas. My stomach seems to have its own zip code. Super fun! I’ve started intermittent fasting and doing 5000 steps videos on KZfaq. Its helping. It’s extra challenging because I teach ESL online so it’s a lot of sitting. 😩

I don’t know if anyone has ever commented on this, but you have a beautiful voice! It is youthful, friendly and calming. Some times when a beautiful woman start talking, it does not match their image. Your image and voice are equally beautiful. 💗🌈

Very nice and relaxing video, thank you Erin 🙂 I live in Poland and saw email from you with picture from Przemyśl - I can confirm, it is amazing how people are helping Ukrainian, how we all throughout the world are united. I believe that love and goodness are much stronger than hate and evil 🙂

Great video! Totally agree with your view on dry cleaning. I stopped doing that years ago, too... Too many nice items were ruined, and money was wasted! Learned my lesson, so now I hand wash.

Erin, you are absolutely fabulous. I have being following you for many years and your content is better and better each time. You also look radiant.

No dry cleaning for me either. For an odd smell, I like to spray the inside if my clothes with vodka. Especially, good for armpit odors. It's super gentle, effective, and dries odorless. Smells....gone.

Dawn. Baby shampoo and Shout work wonders. There is also a stain remover for red wine. I once saved a lovely pale grey sweater by using these products.

I love this video. I love how you address different body shapes. This was super helpful to me. Thank you.

Thank you so much Erin! Having a short torso, I have found mid-rise are my friend but some high rise jeans/slacks work with the right top. I love how you styled the boat neck top with a tank top! Another challenge for me is I have a spinal cord injury and complex regional pain syndrome that stemmed from the injury, so form fitting tops actually hurt my neck and shoulders. Its all good though, soft rayon is my friend😊😊😊. I love mixing dress pants with a t-shirt, jean jacket and nice jewels. Or casual jeans with a fancy top and fancy boots or heels, so fun!! You inspire me so much, thank you again!

How gorgeous do you look in yellow:) x

Peri menopause here and dealing with the huge tummy AND chest. Plus the broad shoulders. Woah boy it took magic to strategically pull from the lists of tips 😂 ♥️

Hi - I’m a petite with a short waist / large bust who has recently lost 25 pounds with about 10 more to go, so thanks for your styling suggestions on how to deal with those things. A couple of other things based on my experience that others may find helpful: (1) if you’ve never done so (or have lost at least 10 pounds) consider getting a professional bra fitting at a specialty place (like Rigby & Peller) or Nordstrom. It makes a huge difference! Regarding weight loss, I have found that buying pants / jeans with stretch (for dress pants, bi-stretch or ponte knit are good) helps a lot. Knit tops work well, and I’ve found the Talbots Pima cotton tees with 3/4 sleeves to be super flattering and great quality. Regarding dry cleaning: I have also had a few bad experiences and agree that too much dry cleaning is hard on clothes, but I’ve found a couple of great dry cleaners I trust to handle special items. In Chicago: Davis Imperial is fantastic. In Denver: La Nouvelle. Both are expensive but worth it. Davis Imperial will do mail order cleaning. Not sure about La Nouvelle. Hope that helps.

Great to see you back home dear Erin. Thanks for the wonderful fashion advices you give us all. Big hug🙌✨🥰💕

Oh Erin you are more radiant than ever. Traveling and then completing the construction and furnishing of your new home has propelled you to,such a high level of serenity and devotion to your craft. Your relaxed accepting state in all of these scenarios portray grace and guidance that is so genuinely offered. Thank you for all the ways that you present these ideas. And yes thank you for the beautiful peak into your new studio....gorgeous. You must breathe in the mountain beauty from every angle. Congratulations, Erin!💎💎💎💎🦋🦋🦋🦋

Thank you very much for all that you do! It means the world to me! I am 52 and going through 'the change' and I am petite and busty. I have learned so much watching you. You are thoughtful and kind in the way you teach us. I so appreciate it. Sending much ❤️

Thanks for the tips! My weight can fluctuate by 4/5 lbs sometimes, so if I find pants that I absolutely love, I just purchase them in 2 sizes!! You’re right - it’s really not necessary to do that with tops. BTW…I love you in that shade of yellow!😁

I'm so glad you don't dryclean! That is so down to earth that you clean your own garments. Great informative video! I would like to see how you organize your closet.

Great advice! Thanks for being so open about your diet and exercise - one can get the wrong impression from some people online that keeping weight off is easy.

Tips to elongate torso, neck lines for busty gals, best brands for floaty maxi dresses, best structured t shirts, love your channel

Hi Erin, great tips, as always! I have always loved your content but I feel recently it has felt more powerful and really speaks to me. Fabulous, thank you!

I appreciated your tips to bring feminine touches to an outfit. I have a short haircut, and I love short hair, but sometimes an outfit will need even more of a feminine touch for women with short hair. Could you address tips for short hairstyles, such as feminine touches, in another video? Thanks for all you do 👍

Well done! Straight to the points. Intuitively have been following those same rules. Tks.

Hi Erin I just this week found your videos you’re like God sent to me I will be 67 on June 15 ,you are great teacher god bless you 💐😘

Great tips Erin! Congrats on the new home/studio. Looks wonderful!

I have lost 30lbs but have another 30 to go. I tried everything on. Threw out things that made me look frumpy. Hit the resales for a few new pieces. I ordered a sub box from Trendsend to get some new pieces and took a few of my favorite pieces to a tailor to take in.

I live in Southern California and love denim on denim. I wear 2 different washes and feel very comfortable in it

The space looks huge and gorgeous Erin! 🙌 I personally would love to know more about the behind the scenes of your life as a powerful female in business. This might be a departure from the normal type of questions… But for example: were you recording like 4 videos a day during your last weeks in Spain? How often (if ever) do you do a no-makeup, glasses and sweatpants day? What does your ideal week look like? Also, more about how you got your start doing THIS, the best advice you’ve ever received, and what advice would you give yourself if you were just starting now? I just feel like you’re on top of your game but you have figured out your own rule book and that would be super cool to learn more about! Just ideas and pure curiosity over here!

Thank you always excellent advice. Menopause sucks...I had a concave stomach all my life and now I gain 10 - 15 lbs for no reason. Trying to come to terms with my new body but it is a very hard thing to do. Take care

Thank you Erin! I love the new studio! Amazing!

Hi Erin, you always present with such empathy and genuine concern. Menopause is such a shock, it does seem like life just handed you a big no. Your tips are so thoughtful, Thank You, you are a Beautiful Soul.

How exciting to move back to the state and in a new home. I'm a realtor and would love to see a home tour. I found the fact that you never go to the dry cleaner so interesting. I used to live in metro Atlanta and had a wonderful dry cleaner. Now I live in Hilton Head and there aren't such great dry cleaners here. I try not to buy dry clean only, however, you gave such great suggestions. I absolutely loved this video. Welcome home!

Hi Erin, I've used baby wipes to spot clean my clothes for years, its gentle enough for babys so good to use on all your clothes, they have even got out a coffee spill. X

I am 73 yrs old, 5'7" and slim. I don't look my age at all. I have tummy and back fat that I can not get rid of. Loved your tips. They were very helpful. Congrats on your new home. Welcome back.

It's all about a comfort for me. Just turned 54, in menopause for 4 years now - really trying to keep my weight down- it's hard! Love your advice and kindness for a women of all sizes ❤

Love, love, love these tips. I am the thick & short waisted, big boob girl and I have used your tip from another video on wearing a contrasting color top & pant & a blazer. Like black blazer, blue jean, light top to help define or at least show that there is a waist somewhere…and it helps a lot. The belt tips were awesome 🤩 thank you Erin, I will definitely check out the new capsule wardrobe. ❤️

Terrific video! I'm 61 and fortunate enough to be able to go to Canyon Ranch in Tucson about once a year. Three years ago an Exercise Physiologist told me to start lifting heavy weights and build my muscles. He said let my muscles be my fat burning machines. I lift with a trainer 2x's a week for 45 minutes and it has worked wonders. I do other forms of exercise, but the weight training is key for me.

WOW!!! you are my kinda cleaning girl. I clean my clothes the same way ,I haven't taken my clothes to the dry cleaners in for ever, love ,love this video thank you ❤

Thanks for the tips! And wow, your make-up looks amazing in this video! I think this look is my favorite on you!

Thank you for the great answers to the questions. I just wanted to send you a cyber hug and words of encouragement because I see how hard you are on yourself with respect to the body changes courtesy of menopause. I am a petite gal and struggled with the menopause body changes (I still am but I feel more in control now) and completely understand. Please know that your body will finally settle down and you will be back to your comfortable self. It sucks...no question about it but you are a successful role model for all of us and we are all here to encourage you to stay the course. It can be maddening - no doubt. I wish I had the answers to this but as you always say - we are all different and we know our bodies (but lately, don't recognize them!) A bright lady like yourself seems the type not to stop trying or researching anything until you see a result. I just wanted to send you my good wishes. All the best, Doreen

Love your videos. Wanted to clarify that the measurement from waist to crotch is the RISE. The INSEAM is the measurement from the crotch to the hem.

The new home! How exciting!

Thank you. Thank you for saying this about menopause. Since I hit it, even when I weigh my “good weight” I still have the belly bulge and back fat coming out of my bra back. But, I still work at it. I’m currently doing IF, 18/6 because I’m able to eat a substantial dinner and not feel deprived.

Hi Erin! You are adorable and SO knowledgeable! I learn so much from you! Thank you for all your hard work!

Really appreciate you and your team, such great content catered to mature women who haven’t given up! Lol! I feel right at home. ♥️ Oh, and your “She-shed” looks amazing. Love the floors! 🥰

Gosh you are a joy to watch, your frankness, and stye tips are always always on target! Thank you

I agree with you on dry cleaning. Years ago, I sent a Thierry Mugler suit to the cleaners and it came back totally ruined. Someone had probably put a gallon of cleaning fluid on the suit jacket and wherever the liquid fell, it burned through the material. I had a huge stain the size of the gallon container right in the middle of the jacket and a ton of splashes all over. The cleaner had the nerve to tell me I had stained it! the suit was a total loss!

I work in HR as a Staff Recruiter in Talent Acquisition in higher education. And although a college setting is pretty much a laid back environment, HR is usually considered the corporate arm of the university so we have to dress the part 🙂.

So true about dry cleaning. I am done with them. You're totally correct. They ruin your clothes and I've noticed in most cases they don't do any dry cleaning at all. They just put that plastic over your garment and call it a day. Once my coat had just as much dust in it as when I took it for dry cleaning. I asked if you dry cleaned the coat then why is all that dust coming out of it when I pat it. The dry cleaners said I don't know 😕.

Hi Erin, I am curious to know if living abroad in a different country has inspired/ influenced you to change some elements of your style that you have adopted and planning to maintain while back in the US?

I put pretty pins on my denim jackets

I loved this and your relaxing tone. I took your suggestion a few videos back and I’ve been snapping pictures of myself in outfits and my backside… GAME CHANGER. The tip you gave about adding a little camisole under a shirt or dress has really helped too. Covering the cleavage and undoing a few buttons can really be slimming. Thank you Erin. You are the best XOXO

Welcome home Erin.You look fab girl You look younger. The color of the sweater or the hairstyle or the makeup I don't know . I'm just so glad you finally get to be in your brand new home; was a bit of a wait yet know you had a great time waiting for it. Thanks again Erin for sharing your experience of Spain ;it brought back so many great memories.

Love our chats! That is what is feels like to me. ¡Abrazos fuertes! 💗

Oh my! You moved into your new home already?! Home tour pls!!! I still remember requesting a home tour at Texas few years ago…….. wow this time more exciting!!!

I’m so grateful for you. Thank you!

Erin, yellow can be a difficult to wear but you are killing it gorgeous!

Loved this! Grabbed a couple of Mango blazers! I have a pretty long torso so I’m looking forward to the longer tailored look! You’re the best stylist. Thank you Erin💕

Cleaners ruined a vintage, suede Gucci jacket I had years ago. They even cut all the enameled brass buttons off and claimed they got ‘ruined in the cleaning process’. I haven’t been to a dry cleaner since. The Laundress line is amazing and much gentler on fine clothes. If it gets ruined, I want to ruin it.

Love the new studio! It gorgeous. Also. Great tips in your answers to questions

Bissel cleaning solution for carpets work wonderful on almost all stains (except oily) I carry it on a small pulverizing bottle. I’ a coffee stain everything 😊 spray sand dry

Fabulous vlog. Thank you. I have to watch part 1.

Love these videos Erin! Your tips are fabulous. Btw, I know allll about menopause belly. I let myself gain weight a couple years ago because of it and last July I said NO MORE. I went keto and lost 23 pounds in about 5 months. I lost 10 lbs more than my goal weight so I'm extremely happy now. Had to buy an entire new wardrobe which didn't suck but now trying to find clothes to fit my small body is a little challenging. I'm sold on this wonderful new way of eating, its so easy!!

Love that Herringbone floor!

I just love your style tips. You are just so pretty. Thank you Erin!

This was an AMAZING VIDEO!!

The Wacoal strapless bra works great for me! My rib cage rotates out on the right side, so it’s hard to find a strapless that stays put without feeling like I’m being squeezed too tightly. I really like it!

I’ve taken high end items to my dry cleaners several times, but it is a private/family owned shop and the items are insured while in their care. I wouldn’t take items just anywhere, though, I agree.

I love this type of video! They are so helpful, thank you.

Outstanding! Thank you for this! Looking forward to the capsule wardrobe 😊

You just sent me good vibes , I needed it, thank you 😊🙏🌷

Thanks great advice as usual 👍

always looking forward to your videos> love love love it))

Would love to see an updated What I Eat In A Day from you! Have been needing to find a good strapless bra also. I will check out your suggestions! Thank you! ❤

I keep trying to do denim jacket with jeans....I just can't seem to get it right. So I have a white denim jacket...that looks good with everything 😁 Love your new studio! Wow-wee!!

Great video, Erin! I'm 5'4'' size 5/6 with 30 H boobs and a small waist and definitely the best silhouette for that is a fitted sheath dress (think Doris Day movies). It's not as tight as body-con but it's a fabric that doesn't cling and stretch but gives amazing shape. Smock tops are the main definite 'no' for me, along with jackets and coats that are only tie waist (without buttons or tailoring) Sometimes it's best not to sinch the waist too tight, especially if there's extra material bunching up either side of the belt x

Try using an old silk scarf to scrub on shmutz that gets on the outside of your blazer. It's low friction, so it doesn't hurt the cloth and it works great! It has to be silk though, other materials don't work as well.

Plus dry cleaning is an extremely dirty business environmentally. I have a friend who used to own dry-cleaning business. He told me the amount of absolutely horrible chemicals they dump after each dry clean is enormous. Dry cleaners must pay environmental fees, but that doesn't help the environment now, does it, it only helps EPA with money.

Thank you for your advice. I really enjoy your videos and can’t wait for new content! 👍

Great advice. Struggling with the tummy now ugh, very helpful ideas.

Hi Erin, loving your new studio (she shed) 🤣 thanks for all your awesome tips and tricks🖐

I agree with you. The dry cleaners lost 5 of my shirts.

The white v neck rushed blouse is perfect. Where did you get that please? The fabric looks fabulous. At 11:19 in your video.

I love your videos. I feel like you're my fashionable aunt who gives me advice! I mean that in a good way haha I'm in my 30s but I'm shifting towards a better wardrobe now!

Hello Sunshine🤩Thanks For the Smart Tips🥰

You're so awesome and just wanted to thank you! The studio is beautiful! xo

Very well done. Many thanks.

thank you for you amazing tip ideas , I love .

I just appreciate you. Thank you. ☺️

I have a fantastic denim jacket I bought over 20 years ago at Nordstrom. It was 100 on sale, 20 years ago. I love it because it has a faux mink collar that snaps in and out. It was worth every penny!

I don't dry clean either! I do the same things as you. I feel totally confident in cleaning my own clothing labeled dry clean only, even if I find I have to submerse the entire garment in soapy water. I just don't trust dry cleaners - both in the equipment and chemicals they use. My brother had his suit ruined by a dry cleaner. It was left with heat swirl marks all over it. It was the suit he wore to my wedding and he had no choice but to wear it as is since he picked it up from the dry cleaners the day of the wedding.

This is an awesome topic! This can be a series! 🙌🏻

congrats on your new place. and thanks for all your wonderful ideas.
