I'm tall, but with short legs. Watching your videos has completely transformed my style. I've never been able to figure out why I've looked frumpy in certain things, but since you've helped me figure out I'm an inverted triangle with short legs, now I know what to shop for to help balance me out! I've gotten complimented on my "style" for the first time last week and I was just glowing with happiness. Thank you sweet Chi!

I'm Russian. For me, what you show is autumn wear. Where i live the termperatures are possible to get as cold as -25 and the records are about -40. I wear short woolen A-line "preppy" skirts down to -10...-15 with warm leggings and knee high military style boots, a thick fleece jacket or a sweater and a knee long membrane tinsulate jacket. Typically you don't have to care about the colour of the socks, because you're wearing long boots. You also shouldn't wear heels and thin soles in winter because of slippery ice and generally cold ground.

Where I live, our record is -64 degrees Fahrenheit. But normally it’s -30/-45 around here during winter mornings. I would still wear most of these(with a much thicker jacket over the thinner ones) if I was only going from my car, to a building. You can absolutely wear these indoors in the winter, or if point a to point b is a very short walk(car to building)

I quickly checked, Amazon has both 100% merino wool tights (expensive @ $75), and more reasonably priced merino blends from $20 up. Even 50%+ merino blends will be a lot warmer than all synthetic-fiber tights. I saw one pair with 75% merino, one with 59%. Be sure to check the denier, or weight of the tights, this reflects how much fiber is used, and the thickness. I hope this helps! I miss the good old days when one could buy silk tights, they’re not warm enough for your climate, but were perfect for mine. I usually got a year of weekly office wear from them before they ran, too. I hope they come back some day.

I was clothes shopping today and even though I looked at skirts, I purposely didn't buy one because I hadn't watched this video yet. I'm getting a better idea of what to wear now, because of your videos, but I would like to see you do some for women who cannot wear heels. I have damaged hips and feet from an accident years ago, and the highest heel I can wear without pain is 3/4 of an inch. Wearing heels is your go-to, but I'm sure you must have ideas for flat footwear too.

@kimberlyperrotis8962 2 жыл бұрын

Great tips, as always, Chi. I also wear other-colored matching tights, boots and skirts/dresses, like ivory, navy or brown. H&M has some cute ivory and beige ribbed tights that look great with my matching boots and skirts or dresses. This is something we did in the 90s a lot, and I’ve always done it since, because it’s so visually lengthening. If a skirt is really long, I sometimes cheat and wear matching long socks instead, they’re more comfy than tights, and I don’t usually need more warmth here in coastal California. Also, matching tights/socks and ankle boots give the same effect, if one doesn’t have the matching knee-high boots. I try to wear the highest-heeled boots that are comfortable, usually around 2”.

I love skirts and dresses. Some people think that it is for religious purposes. But no I don’t feel like I have the body to wear tied jeans or pants. Not that I never wear pants but I preferred to used like a culottes, or palazzos. There’re not enough videos that talked about dresses & skirts.

How to stop skirts from sticking to tights or leggings in winter?

@lapetitepoire5 2 жыл бұрын

I think your camisole idea is cute but not really realistic for us curvier, bustier petites. I wear a 28DD bra, so this ain't happening for me. Hehe. As for matching the coat to the skirt length, this is really only relevant until you get indoors. Matching the shoe is less important too when you're going to switch out from your winter boots to your indoor shoes when you arrive at your destination.

Love the popling tops and your leather skirt looks so lady like like old fashion but yet sexy. I live in California and love buying hue leggings or the ones without the feet covering (forgot name of those?) just wore to a nice restaurant in Santa Monica for brother in law’s birthday. Wore a nice black sweater with an inside long sleeve thin cotton light t-shirt for extra warmth the sweater has teeny holes in the design. Wore my leggings in black and a thick cotton mini skirt, black boots. Is a challenge not looking like a kid when you are 5’3. Of love to find long flowery skirts also but is such a challenge. When I find one is usually wrong size can’t find a medium they are all gone. Anyone suggest any shops where you seen nice skirts or online? Would appreciate it! I’m no expert ordering on line I find if you don’t know the sizing they carry you can order the wrong size/length but I’m willing to try cause u can’t find a thing. Lol! Oh! Sometimes have found some cute prints at H&M but again only in large. Love skirts! And dresses but I guess skirts are easier to wear year round? Great tips as always! Thank you! Merry Christmas!🎄🎁
