love this! It took me awhile to figure out that all the chorus of "express yourself! wear bright patterns and colours!" made me so uncomfortable because that isn't MY self. I feel the most comfortable and at home in my self when I am wearing solid colours and plain clothes. I am expressing myself, but it doesn't look the way people expect self expression to look.

Ana- On the contrary, the dark jewel colors you wear make you look vibrant and alive, not older. Those same colors are wrong on me, but they were perfect on my mother who shared your coloring. I am blonde with green eyes and lighter colors are best for me. I think making a blanket statement about what colors we should all be wearing is silly. Keep doing you. You look beautiful! ❤

I love your new clothes. I’m old and generally unconcerned about how I look. Just recently I have been caring again, a bit. I don’t know why. I never go anywhere, never see anyone, except doctors. But I bought two new t-shirt dresses and some silver sandals. On sale of course. And I have been considering wearing some makeup. I don’t know what’s come over me. But I enjoyed your comments.

silver sandals can be source of fun and joy in themselves... clothing can be like food not only it is necessary but it can bring some enjoyment in colors or textures and make up can be a nice self-care moment :) I like skin care products with nice smells, not for any other purpose than bringing me joy :)

Personally, I like the deeper shades as well. No beige ever! And another factor is darker colors don't show so much dirt so there's less laundry work. The colors and styles you have choosen for yourself are perfect for you, and your own unique style is so refreshingly not stereotypical. The questions you posed are thought-provoking, especially "do you smile at yourself in the mirror!" I try to only wear pieces with which I can guarantee that smile. 😊

With so much "influence" in our lives (we want it or not) that it is very complexe to figure out what to choose to really represent our own personality! It takes time: we have to detach ourselves not only from our daily influences but also what we were told at a young age....At almost 70 years old I now wear (mostly) what I truly like and I feel more confident! People notice you when you are confident: I have strangers complimenting me on my outfits!!!Unbelievable!!!

I loved living in Berkeley, because no one cares what you were wearing and you could wear whatever you wanted. However, living in a more conservative place, I find that sometimes I wear things to "blend in." I see it like camouflage. I guess I have always seen clothing as camouflage. I am 65 and I do not even really ever know what my style is. I do know that people where I live now see me as a liberal hippie type person, but I think this is because I don't dress in the same style everyday. Some days I want to dress like a cowgirl, some days like the Ranger I used to be, some days like a forest goddess.

I like the colors you wear on you. With your dark hair and light skin tone they accentuate instead of taking away from your appearance. My skin and hair color is quite different from yours as you can see in my thumbnail, and some of the colors you wear look good on me too. In fact the color you have on in this video is one of my personal favs. It’s quite interesting how we are marketed to try to be categorized and placed into certain boxes based on what we look like to try and tell us what we should and should not wear. We are each unique and we should embrace that imo too. Great video Ana!

What a wonderful approach, so lovely and creative! I am so happy you shared all of this and the linen company. I've been hugely into fashion since I was about 4 and my mother let me design my own outfits that she would sew for me. I have shopped vintage/second hand since a teenager, have worked in fashion on and off and have owned my own little shops a few times also. I've always had my own strange style, I also frown at the homogeneously dressed world these days! I am mid-aged now and pastels look atrocious on me-I look much better in richer, darker hues and will never stop wearing them. Like you, I am very pale & they wash me out. I have strongly considered countless times (especially recently) starting a youtube channel regarding sustainable fashion/style on our own terms for mid-life and beyond.

Such a gentle video! Watching style content, I so often feel some sort of frenzied pressure - 'wait, if I don't try to sort this stuff now, I'll miss some sort of train'. Some very important train! Essential! What is it even? 😄I love the sense of non-urgency that suffuses your approach. This is interesting, often delightful, fascinating stuff - but not that important at the end of the day. I'm trying out a really limited wardrobe at the moment. I've shoved a huge portion of my clothes under my bed again. I went away for a week recently and having to decide what few things to pack felt like such a lovely, simplifying process - the permission to rewear, not constantly having to 'change it up' etc. But... you never know if that deliciousness persists when you're back in your daily life 😆 I've gone from being super into warm colours last year to a sort of (gentle) blue period again. This ping-ponging makes me worry - 'omg, i don't have 'personal style'' - but I'm trying to tell myself it's fine, as long as I'm exploring mostly in the confines of what I already have.

I loved the nature inspired styling! I saw recently this beautiful picture of barley fields with some poppies and cornflowers, I might do something around that. This reminds me of summer in Poland.❤ I tend to have two fashion personalities. One the 'creative one', and the comfort one. I love the idea of beautifully/natural styled clothes, but reality is I am a top, jeans and a hoodie girl (sometimes jumper, but no wool as I am too warm in them!) . The look of clothes is important, but also how they feel on our body, if they cover what you want. If I have to think about an item of clothes ( itchiness, rolling up, sliding down), this is a huge no for me regardless of the look! Ok maybe I am not entirely honest here, I WILL wear this scratching sequin hooded jacket to a festival this week, but this is an exception and the best buy from vinted I ever made 😅). Have a lovely week!

I love Not Perfect Linen! I purchased a jumpsuit from her with one modification. You could either consider it a sleeveless version of the Torino style or a wide-legged version of the Margaret style. I purchased the Emerald color - same as your blazer. I wanted this to wear to my nephew's wedding. When it arrived and I tried it on, it fit beautifully and was perfect for the occasion. The really nice thing is that I can wear it in lots of other situations. It can be dressed up or down. So I am a huge fan. :)

Dear Ana, as somebody who has tried to get help in how to dress A LOT, I'm still insecure about it. I appreciate your input so much and will follow your advice, it's really the only way that makes sense. You look absolute gorgeous and radiant with your choice of haircut and clothing. ♥ The only advice that I found suitable for me was to wear only 2 colors. I tried that on holidays with blue and off-white, because I already have quite a few clothes in that color. It was so simple to get dressed and I loved each single outfit.

I am 36 and I feel like I have only found my personal style in the past few years. I struggled for a long time with not being able to differentiate between what I like, which is many different styles, and what I feel comfortable in. For example, when I was younger I probably would have tried to emulate your style, which I like a lot! But now I know I can admire you, and yet have a solid sense of self. I am at a place where there is not one item in my closet I don't want to wear. I still make mistakes occasionally, I recently tried one of the coveralls that are popular right now. I like it a lot but I never feel comfortable in it. I'm not even sure why, but it's got to go regardless! I love linen, your new linen clothes are beautiful. I think deep jewel tones are perfect on you. I completely disagree with limiting yourself based on what people of any age are "supposed" to wear. That is no way to live. Freedom of style for all!
