Hey Kay, just wanted to say that I LOVE the change I’m seeing in your hair color. It looks so chic.

Thanks Laurie. Just letting it grow grey! Ha! It’s a little in transition right now, but I think it’s going to be good. 😉

Just be careful if you do sign up for a free 14-day trial; they will try to get you to sign up for a year by offering a 30% discount. The 2 offers cannot be combined and Skillshare will not refund your money. I thought I signed up for the trial. Instead, I'm out $120.

@bethmabee 3 года назад

Me, too. I used to do a lot of ballroom dancing, and a couple of years after I stopped I realized that I never wore long dresses, palazzo pants, etc. anywhere else and purged them. Now my closet has room for the things I actually wear - but it was still a wrench parting with some of the items and the memories connected to them.

@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms 3 года назад

I bet. Thanks for sharing your story Beth. 🥰

@MIMIDSH 3 года назад

@@bethmabee So did I. I have a rack full of ballroom dance dresses, but just won't be doing much (or at least AS much) of that anymore. Even if I kept a handful, it would be more than enough. It sure is hard to part with a dress that holds wonderful memories. I've taken pictures of my dresses before letting them go. Well, onward & upward!

I’m guilty of just wearing what I like most all the time at the expense of some pieces in my closet not being worn at all. I end up wearing the same things over and over again. Our style is ours alone. We create it. It makes us feel good to wear what we like. I’m starting to go through and switch it up! Variety is the spice of life! Thanks Kay!

That's funny because ever since I started walking(a lot) our big dog my wardrobe has gone to pot!! When you're out in the rain and cold and you come back inside and the dog shakes mud all over you it doesn't exactly motivate you to wear nice things. Then there's the sweet loving dog rubbing his head on you (because he loves you so much) and you are wet( and smell like a wet dog). Love my dogs though and couldn't live without them!!

@adm6785 3 года назад

I've had a lot more success finding something to wear when I take the time to hang whole outfits together. I'll usually switch it up regardless, but having the basic concept in front of me saves a lot of time.

Hello, Kay. Thanks so much for today’s content. I would add a seventh reason for not having anything to wear- an ungrateful heart. Would you address (again) the urge to buy that originates from a restless, discontented spirit? I struggle with this, especially when viewing myself in my birthday suit. God bless you and your ministry to your viewers!

Another reason that I have discovered is that I often love clothes that require ironing (or some other special care like hand-washing) that I really don’t often have the extra time to do. When I am getting dressed, I often have a closet full of clothes that I love but that need ironing and are not ready to be worn. I am leaning to say “no” to things that require special care, not matter how much I love them.

@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms 3 года назад

Yes! Thanks for sharing Gina. Sometimes I think we have to give ourselves permission to say no to certain types of clothing.

@brendacriswell1264 3 года назад

Yes! I made that mistake. I bought clothes online and then realized the don’t look nice unless ironed. I never wear them because I hate to iron.

@lorismith103 3 года назад

But I do think that ironed clothes look best. They show that you took time & care of your clothes. But you don’t want a closet full - only a few pieces.

Great tips Kay. I have to remember not to do colors that are not in my color pallet even though they are trending now or the sales person says try it on. I have found if I buy that yellow top that is not in my color pallet, it ends up hanging in my closet. I call them clothes hangers. ha ha. I have found I need to incorporate the trendy colors in a scarf or purse.

@dale3404 3 года назад

I’ve bought purses and shoes for that reason. Yellow, for instance, doesn’t work near my face, but is great in a purse.

@cindykelly8466 2 года назад

Wear what makes you feel comfortable and amazing. If a sales person wants you to try something on, and you don't like it, have the confidence to say no . If the sales person keeps insisting, time to find a different place to shop.

Before you start, get your colors done. Nothing worse than organizing your whole wardrobe around colors that are really fashionable that make your skin look awful! I used to sew most of my clothes and loved summer colors I spent days sewing lined wool blazers, etc, then found out I was a winter. When I started wearing the right colors, people knew I looked better didn’t know what it was so asked me if I’d gotten a new haircut or lost weight.

Great tips, Kay! Going to determine what neutrals and signature colours would work for me. Will give my already decluttered closet full of colour and prints a second look to see how I can pair all that I have (lots of old and new cute items!) and again donate clothes that don't work with everything. As a 73 yr. old retiree I still want to look great in my beautiful casual clothes which are now my go to's. On a twice weekly basis I amp up my casual look for in-person lunch, dinner or shopping by adding "bling." Thank you and stay safe, Rosie 🇨🇦

When I consider buying something new, I ask myself if It will be one of the first things I will reach for when looking for something to wear. If the answer is no, I leave it in the store. I also iron everything as it comes off the clothes line, so everything is ready to wear. I have an eclectic wardrobe, however much of it is 50s vintage and boho. However as you said having wardrobe essentials are what brings it together. I love this age, I wear what makes my heart happy not what others think I should. Such freedom.

What a great video with spot on tips! I am in a temporary situation now because I have a cast on my left ankle that hits just below my knee. I can only wear wide legged bottoms, which means that a lot of my tops don’t look right with them. I don’t need to buy lost of tops that I will get a lot of wear out of for the next month. This too shall pass!

Thank you so much Kay, you are such a lovely lady. I fall into the category of buying too many prints and it just kills me to buy a solid color item. But just today I finally purchased a solid black sleeveless tank that I will love to wear under jackets and kimonos. Also, I love denim jackets of any color on you or anyone really but when you have a little tummy problem (I’m working on it with the Lords help) they just don’t look as cute.🤣 thank you for explaining things so simply.

Another wonderful video with great information. Unlike some of the ladies below who buy for the glam life, I tend to buy more athletic wear and then have very little to wear when I want/need to 'go out'. I'm trying to build up that part of my wardrobe and can't wait to be able to shop 'in store' and no so much online. Thanks for more wonderful tips of the trade! I do like your shirt today too :)

@paulafranciscac2787 3 года назад

Dear Kay The beauty of your spirit shows in your channel. A lot of truth about what your comments. I have a lot of handloomed and hand embroidered clothes because I love arts and crafts but I recognize that those blouses/ dresses are not very practical in The Northern Virginia Area. I tend to buy those garments because I love the craftmanship and buying directly from the artisans. They look great while traveling but not in "normal " life.

The reason I have nothing to wear is because I’ve gained weight. Again. Working on losing it but so frustrating (and expensive!)

@kimberlygould6839 3 года назад

I think that is one reason that I’m waiting to build my wardrobe because I have so much weight to lose and don’t want to spend lots of money on things that hopefully won’t fit me at the end of the year. So now, it is cheap clothes during the weight loss time frame until I can spend real money on quality pieces when I am at my ideal weight. I won’t be looking very fashionable during the weight loss stages, though😂

@lesliebolte2949 3 года назад

@@kimberlygould6839 Exactly! I do need to buy something to wear to my daughter’s college graduation- it’s outside. Wish Kay would do a video on “body transition wardrobes”!

@jananesbitt8890 3 года назад

I lost 50 pounds about 2 years ago. While waiting to get back into my old clothes, I shopped consignment shops and Goodwill. You can find basic pieces at Goodwill pretty cheap. My wardrobe was small during weight loss. I didn't want to spend money on clothes I was determined not to wear next year.

I resemble these remarks. I think I’ll go clear out those dressy Clothes and replace them with more retirement clothes. I buy dressy jackets I’ll never wear. I have more of a Jean jacket, bomber jacket lifestyle. My jewelry doesn’t always fit my lifestyle either. Thanks Kay.

@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms 3 года назад

@sylvestercoffee7212 3 года назад

Love your advice. I really need to work on getting my wardrobe working for me. We recently moved out of state and I spent almost an hour trying on my clothes to see if I had something to wear to church. Well I had gotten rid of a couple of pairs of heels that were killing my feet and by doing that discovered that I couldn't wear anything!! After trying on all my church clothes I ended up feeling terrible and I was crying. I thought about why I felt so bad and thought that this scenario must have happened to other women too. I thought I should be able to put something on that fits well and makes me feel good. I'm working now( bit by bit) on getting pieces that put a smile on my face rather that make me cry because I look and feel uncomfortable in them. It's definitely more challeging as we age but you have shown us that it can be done!! Thank you and God bless you!!!

@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms 3 года назад

Bless you! It is a challenge. But yes, look for pieces that make you happy and that make you feel authentic. And that work for your real lifestyle. It’s a process. Hang in there!

@pappyone6062 3 года назад

If you don’t like dressing casually then don’t! You dress for YOU first and foremost! If dressing up makes you feel good and feel your best, then dress that way, even if you are at home. There is a stylist here on you tube and on IG named Christie Ressel and she is a huge promoter of this. I am totally the opposite of you. I have a closet full of beautiful things that I do t wear because I like to always be comfy, amd as I doNt work anymore, I wear athleisure usually.

Thank you so much, Kay! I’m new to your site and have been enjoying it very much... your fashion tips and advice have really energized me. I’m learning a lot about personal style and growing in confidence - why try to be a “Nike” when you are really more of a “Hushpuppie”, right? 🤓. I also appreciate your spiritual wisdom as well -I am especially trying to put on humility every day before anything else. Thanks so much and keep up the good work!

@martinebenzio1320 3 года назад

Great video and I am working on building my wardrobe with your help. One thing you did not mention that I think for me is a reason sometimes I don’t have anything to wear is that I don’t want to spend the money on a classic piece that will work for years to tie outfits together. For example a blazer , a good pair of boots or shoes, etc. I will see it in the store but not buy because of the price and then later wish I bought it. Thanks for your encouragement and help!

@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms 3 года назад

You’re absolutely right Martine. I’ve noticed it’s so much easier (and more enjoyable) to put together outfits now that I have some of those investment pieces. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. 💕

@americafirst9144 3 года назад

Try buying those kind of pieces from local consignment shops. You'll get what you need at a much lower price. Some dressier cardigans can serve the same purpose, and usually cost much less.

I would add...buying clothes for the weather in your location. I follow so many cute fashion bloggers including you. However I live in Arizona. We hardly need sweaters, blazers or jackets! Yet I have purchased some because they are so cute! But I rarely have the opportunity to wear them :(
