My husband died six years ago and it was two years before I was able to give up my wedding ring because in my heart I still felt married to him. But after two years, I took the diamonds from each of our wedding rings and worked with my favorite jeweler to create a beautiful custom ring that I love and wear on my right hand with great joy. Thank you for giving that ring the designation of a Milestone piece because that is exactly what it is.
I was smiling while watching this video. I have been on a weight loss journey. When I started out I weighed 288lbs and wore a size 30-32, when I reached a size 18 I purchased a red leather blazer. 😉
I love that you said wear things that make you feel good, confident, powerful. For me, that’s a pair of comfortable, well-fitting jeans, a great belt, cowboy boots, a white button-down collared blouse, a long necklace & a fun jacket-like a bouclé motorcycle jacket❤
I use black, grey and denim as my neutrals, and in summer my accent color is blue, in winter it's green. That's all I ever wear and I love it. Plus it makes dressing really easy when everything goes together.
I love how you bought yourself a ring to remind you of God's faithfulness of getting you through a hard time and your faith growing during this time!!!! Amen!!!!
I love narrowing things down, and being seasonal! In the fall/winter I wear more grey and black for neutrals and in the spring summer more navy and tan. :-) It gives me variety and I feel like I am living in the season. When I change a job or get a promotion, I tend to buy a nice bag, pair of shoes or jewelry that I mark the occasion. The extra money from the change will get absorbed into the budget and it's nice to take that first increase to recognize the hard work I have done to move things forward.
Such a thoughtful video. I love the term milestone piece. It immediately brought to mind a necklace I purchased so many years ago. It is artist made of a dancer. When I saw it I knew this was for me because it immediately brought my daughter, who had passed away some years before, to mind. She had danced most of her young life, and had choreographed worship dances at 10 and 11 years old. Thank you for reminding me and encouraging me to take that out and incorporate that into my wardrobe more often.
This was really inspirational! I love the idea of having a special price of jewelry and or clothes that make you happy and confident and enables you to radiate a special glow.
Hi, Kay, even though my Mom and Dad are still alive, they are in a nursing home 93/98. I took their wedding bands and diamonds, purchased a large Oregon Fire Opal, and made a ring. I love wearing it knowing I am representing their union in more than just my presence.
Hello Kay, I am writing from Canada and I must say your fashion blog is simply top notch. You are so gracious in your advice on fashion and I really enjoy your videos which are always filled with priceless info. Please keep up the good work. Your new necklace is very lovely and I look forward to ordering it. Keep up the great work!
I've been following you for sometime now, and I just wanted to say how very much I enjoyed this particular video! Thank you for being so candid with your faith,, it really encouraged me!! I love the fact you brought out that our clothes/outfits should bring us JOY! Hopefully, that will be part of the outward expression & testimony of the JOY we have inside and will be like a magnet drawing others... giving us an opportunity to help them, if need be. . Wow, what a concept, huh?? Lol.. Thank you, Kay!!! Keep up the good work, my friend!
Kay I asked you sometime in the spring or summer to pray for my son Jeff. He had glioblastoma. Well he passed away November 4. I do need to get me something for this time we are going through. I gained weight during Covid and my dresses and jackets I wore to church are to small. I have always loved slacker, a top and jacket or blazer. I have a lot but it seems everything I have right now is to small. I find myself not wanting to buy a bigger size because I want to lose weight. Anyway I wanted you to know about my son, you said you;and James were going to pray for him the next day at church. I thank you for all your prayers for him and our family. We hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas. Pat in NC
Oh my goodness. I’m so very sorry Pat. Bless you. May God continue to walk you through this valley with peace and grace. Lean into Him, Pat. I am so sorry for your loss. 💙
Oh my goodness Kay! When you said you had a red couch, I was so tickled. I just had my old couch recovered in red. It felt good knowing that someone whose taste I admire had also chosen this color.
What a lovely video. Black and gold jewelry always look so rich and elegant, I look forward to purchasing it. How fun that you got to be a part of this. One thing that really stuck out to me in all of your many beautiful suggestions, was that you gave God the glory for bringing you through your difficult season victoriously!🤗❤
Congratulations on your jewelry creation. It is lovely. Your tips are well-received. Being authentic and bringing one joy is key to telling one's story. I love that, Kay! Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas.
I'm loving your hair and the necklace is a lovely touch. Red does look great on you. I tend to be attracted to a vintage classic style so I wear A-line dresses and skirts and just started experimenting with a bold lip. My main signature is my glasses.
Love the simple elegant design of the necklace! ⛄️ And I’ve always admired the look of Nordgren watches. Especially the thin 36-37mm face men’s watches.
Good morning Kay, and what a beautiful video on Signature style. I learned so much, through your videos and I am sooo thankful to you. God bless you. 🥰🙏👍❤️🌹👏✝️
Now that I think about it, I am a denim, diamonds, rose gold and leather kind of girl. While I draw the line at leather leggings or anything of that type given my shape, those boot cut and straight legged denim jeans are my friends. Congratulations on the necklace design. I have worked with a leather bag company and designed a wallet in memory of my late daughter and I know how much thought goes into that type of design. It took months of back and forth messages, prototypes and sketches. I hope your necklace is as well received as the Robin wallet is. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas.
@@maxallen-macdonald8791 I checked it out and it's lovely! So functional! I love that. And how sweet that it was named after your precious daughter. Thanks so much for sharing. :)
Excellent video Kay and good topic . I had a ring made when I quit (stop) smoking, and I wear it every day. I haven’t smoked for 20 years… I did it by myself! When I look at my ring it gives me a kind of strength… Have a good week Kay and the friends of your Channel
I love this video!! I am a jacket/blazer girl forever!! Your videos have helped me purchase lots of new ones this year and they do cause me to show up with confidence I just love the necklace and I did buy it just for me! I will wear it with joy too I can’t imagine how fantastic it must have been to design a piece of jewelry Fabulous ! Merry Christmas to me!! Love you Kay blessings and joy to both you and your family this season
Congratulations on your necklace design becoming reality! My signature piece is boots - knee hi, ankle, Chelsea, lace-up, leather, suede - I love them all.
My professional color analysis 40 years ago was very useful, but I ended up dropping purples and grays from my recommended palette. I feel drab in these colors and I found the purples really difficult to style. I love my streamlined color palette now.
These days, more color analysts are realizing that the color categories are on a spectrum. The boundaries are fluid, and there are many variations within each category. In the seasonal color palettes, for example, a Summer can be Cool, Soft, or Light. Within those subcategories, you might be on the edge of another season, like Summer-Spring or Summer-Winter. I'm a Bright Spring who flows a bit into Winter; fewer brown shades, and I can wear black. So adjusting our color palette is often essential to look our best. I hear you about purple. There are purples I absolutely love, but they're accent colors only, like a top. Everything else in the outfit will be navy, gray, or black, depending on the shade of purple. Purples are often impossible to match unless you buy a matching top and bottom. I glow in lavender, so I've collected a few tops in that color.
I watch your videos, signature my style for me is boho, classic for special occasions like Xmas , Easter, Anniversaries. A youtuber I also enjoy is Angelas Fashion Mix. She is elegant and classic. She combines well made and stylish pieces that are found at thrift and consignment stores. She selects jewelry, shoes, handbags, and unique shoes. Based out of Richmond Virginia.
You look so beautiful in red and love the curl in your hair…..I’ve probably mentioned that before😉! I really like the video today and love the meaning behind the whisper necklace. I just placed my order using your code…..I am so excited to get it Kay. Merry Christmas to you, James and your family🎄🙏🏻❤️
So happy to see you wearing red. I just bought red slacks and wasn’t sure if they were up to date. I almost returned them, but now I’m happy I kept them.
Hi: Just purchased your necklace. Love the simplicity, and I think it will pair well with some of my other gold jewelry. I was always that gal that had the big bold statement pieces (not cheap by any means). These days, I have packed away all my one of a kind pieces and have gone for a more understated look. I have been around long enough to know that these pieces will once again be all the rage.
I purchased the Megara It is beautiful and I can't wait to receive it I've watched your videos for couple of years bu this is my first time ever purchasing something from a link. Congratulations on having a part in designing this gorgeous piece. I just am recovering from a hard fall back in May and am now able to get out a little so this necklace will serve as a Milestone piece to remind me of how much the Lord has brought me through and of His grace and mercy over my life. Lord bless you and Merry Christmas!
Really like this video. I know my personal style, and signature colors but need to think and mull over my signature style. Love the necklace you styled with Nordgreens, but a little small and dainty for me. I am usually more bold in my jewelry. Have to see what else they have. Congradulations on your collaboration with them.
I'm not a dainty jewelry person, either. There are personality and body types that need dainty jewelry, and others that need bold jewelry. I never understood why I gravitate to certain clothing styles and jewelry styles until I found out that I'm a Soft Dramatic in the Kibbe types, and then it all made sense. I used to sew my own clothes when I couldn't find the styles I craved, and yes, they were Soft Dramatic styles. My jewelry choices have always puzzled my friends, since we live in a small college town where jewelry is frowned upon for the most part, but there I am with a wide, gem-studded cuff bracelet or a bold collar necklace. 😁
Hi Kay, I purchased your necklace from Nordgreens today. Can't wait to get it. I injoy your show so much!! Keep up the great work. GOD BLESS YOU, VICKY Kelley
My signature style is mostly skirts and dresses, blazers, scarves and boots, at least in winter (sandals in summer). I love luxury fabrics and high-quality leather footwear and accessories, too. I got really lazy during the lockdowns and got out of the habit of wearing makeup and jewelry, I’m trying to revive it.
When I turned 60 I wanted to buy myself something special. I found a small designer scarf that is a big splurge for me but I have not been out and about for the last couple of years. About ten years ago I received a very nasty diagnosis and I have hung in there with a big dose of faith. The scarf has Red Riding Hood holding the wolf like a pet dog. It has my signature colours. Thank you so much for your inspiration and beautiful personality. I can't wait until my Megara necklace arrives!
Hi: love the Magara Necklace, I’m online looking at it and surprised that it is not 14K gold. Am I’m overlooking what method it uses as a fine jewelry piece to be gold tone? I understand the use of recycled stainless steel metal for base, but it does not explain what metal is used in the plating process that provides what they promote as “long lasting look”. Appreciate your response. MJ
Congratulations on the necklace. I think it’s beautiful. I might be getting it for Christmas. My husband bought me a ring. But he can buy me a necklace too. I have a necklace my youngest daughter bought me years ago. I used to wear it everyday. And I may start that again. I don’t go a lot. But I can wear it around the house. I’m a sweatpants and t shirt or sweatshirt kind of gal. I just want everything I wear to be comfortable. I do wear jeans and blouses. But if I’m at home, I’m all about comfort.
Thanks for a great video. Can you give us some suggestions for the formulas? I wear shorts a lot because I'm in Florida. So, like shorts and a blouse or t-shirt and scarf? thanks.
Hello, wonderful video! Great tips! Question, I’m going to a huge ladies luncheon. I’m planning on wearing a light blue sweater top with silver buttons, blue pants and white with silver scarf. Would a red purse look okay with this? It certainly would be a pop of color.
Dear Kay! Can you say a few words about not straight legs. I mean when legs are dick at thights and have X shape (or O shape). I love your work and many thanks!
You can always wear statement necklaces. As a category they never go out of style. But individual statement necklaces look dated quickly, especially the less expensive ones. So I personally wouldn’t invest much in them, but buy one or two when they are on sale.
