I always enjoy the colors and styles of fall clothing. Now that I live in frigid Minnesota, I need more wool and cashmere cardigans and blazers. That's good luck as it suits my apple body shape--as you point out in your series! I like to wear chunky/organic long necklaces and that fits in with your advice as well! I never threw out my little shoulder pads from the 90's and they are coming in handy, too.

Really insightful Melissa, thank you. I must admit I have a lot of items that were acquired over the years with no thought even of what with and how they would be worn. Which is really what causes the “I’ve got nothing to wear “ dilemma. So owning multiple items in different weights and sleeve lengths but similar colours is actually really helpful

@mmpersonalstyling 2 жыл бұрын

You are so welcome! You could always add in an accent colour like bright pink or burgandy (for example) which would just lift the neutral colours and make your lovely hair a feature. Have you watched episode 4 of the body shape master class series? In that video I use a bright orange/red coat and you'll see how it looks lovely with all of the neutrals.

Really helpful, Melissa. We moved three years ago and it means a much more casual lifestyle. I still don't have the right clothes for my life, but am working on it. I am usually attracted to "dressy" items, but need to balance them out more. Shoes are my downfall, as I love heels and only have "ugly trainers" for walks etc.

@mmpersonalstyling 2 жыл бұрын

Dressing for your actual lifestyle rather than your fantasy lifestyle is something I see ALL the time. If you're wearing trainers a lot then really focus on buying yourself some that make you feel really good. If budget allows leave your 'ugly' trainers (in your words!) for dog walks and your nicer ones just for you for your casual lifestyle. I do online consultations if that's of any interest where i'd be more than happy to try and help you. Thank you for watching x

I am working towards having a nice basic wardrobe that fits my lifestyle but still makes me feel pulled together. Love your advice! Love also that you include a lot of outerwear. Many bloggers concentrate only on inside clothing, when so many of us spend more time in outerwear. Do you have hats?

I'm so glad I came across your channel. I've been looking for a petite British stylist with a classic style and have struggled! So I'm glad I found you! I have a few questions: 1) is there any reason why you don't shop in the petite ranges? 2) do you shorten the trousers yourself or get a tailor to do it? 3) do you find that you need to alter the blazers from Zara too? (I'm 5ft 1 so I struggle to find blazers that fit)

@mmpersonalstyling 2 жыл бұрын

Hi there. Sorry for the delay in coming back to you. I['m 5ft 3.5 and i NEVER shop in the petite range. Mainly because I like my trousers either really long (so they make me look taller) or, i like ankle grazers and I can get both in the normal range. It means I do sometimes have to take my trousers up so I use wonder-web (you just iron it on) but for a more tailored pair of trousers I would use a seamstress. Most of Zara's blazers fit me well. The arms are sometimes a little long but I roll them up anyway. I hope that helps and thank you for watching x

Very, very useful. I was particularly interested in the topic of shoes - myself having them in so many colours I indeed struggle to find a good match of shoes that wouldn't ruin my outfit or make me look frumpy. I would very much appreciate more content on matching shoes to an outfit. What if most of my shoes are in black? What if I do not wear beige/taupe/camel/tan at all since this completely isn't my colour? is it better to have bottom and shoes the same colour or contrasting? Or shoes always neutral? help please!

Hi Ewa. A lot depends on your lifestyle, your skin colour, your height etc., there's not s blanket answer without knowing more detail. I do 1;1 styling if that helps x

Brilliant about the blazer! I've just added two new links in the description box showing alternatives to the next navy coat (as I think it must have sold out already) and both options are currently in the sale so i'd be quick! Both are gorgeous options too. I hope that helps. x

I just found your channel and love it! You make things so simple. I don’t like to shop online. I always forget what I own to mix and match when I am out at the store. Do you have any suggestions? Would you make a list or take photos or do you shop with specifics in mind? Thank you

@mmpersonalstyling 2 жыл бұрын

For the reasons your said, that's why I always shop online so I can double check before i hit the buy button that i've got something to go with it. Don't get me wrong, I physically go into the shops but I scan things on the shop app then re-look at my basket when I get home, then purchase online. Returns are far easier to do when brought online too, especially because i live over an hour from any shopping centre. Is there any reason you don't buy online?

@@mmpersonalstyling Thanks so much for your reply. Such a bummer as this is a colour wave I've been looking for for ages! They have it still but only in a XXL. Super cheeky question but I don't suppose you know anywhere else selling something similar? I've been loving your videos. I have loads of lovely clothes but none of them seem to go together 🤦🏼‍♀ I've just purchase the Lilysilk hoodie which I think will be a good basic addition. Thanks very much for the inspiration.

I love the cashmere hoody and after trawling the internet it is by far the best value over other similar ones, particularly with the discount. Thank you. I am between a small and medium, 10-12 How would you suggest sizing this one?

@mmpersonalstyling 2 жыл бұрын

I agree. If you've got a larger bust then i'd go for the medium but if you've got an average sized bust which doesn't ordinarily pose a problem when buying things, then i'd go the small. Hope that helps x

I found your channel a week ago, watched one video, and subscribed immediately. Nobody else on KZfaq offers practical advice for women "of a certain age." I'm shaped a bit like your short strawberry - pear model: 5'2" and quite hourglass. My tastes are much different than hers, but I learned a lot. And I learn more with every video I watch. My biggest downfall is shoes. I'm a USA size 7 EEE ... I think that's a 5 UK? And I don't know how you handle widths ... a little wider than extra extra wide. These are wider shoes than most companies make, and what little I find is definitely unfashionable. [Birkenstocks or "barefoot" shoes.] Any advice would be very welcome.

I have binge watched all your videos. I used to dress nicely when I worked and then I retired and it was jeans and t shirts or staying in my pajamas. Not good for ones psyche. I have promised myself to treat myself better. So I have a question. How do you wear the fake leather pants without sweating to death. Thank you so very much for your time.

@mmpersonalstyling 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Joanne. Most of them have a nice thin fleece lining so in uk that’s great as they keep you warm. Is that what’s causing you to sweat in them - the thicker lining? Mint velvet do a pair without the lining if that helps? X

Hello Melissa! I love your content! I am in the US and would like to try the Reiss wide leg trousers which seem ideal for working from home. Do they run TTS or big? I am usually a UK 8-10 like you and have a 37 inch hip. Would you suggest going with the UK 8 or 10 for these casual trousers? Thank you for helping us all look our best!

@mmpersonalstyling 2 жыл бұрын

i wear a UK 8 in the wider leg from Reiss and a 10 in a tighter leg. The wide leg stretch quite a bit so if you're in between sizes then I would size down if i was you and if they're a little tight when they arrive, do a few lunges and see if they stretch!!! I love those trousers, they're a true staple of mine x
