How To Get Your DREAM STYLE & Dress Effortlessly Chic 

My favorite tip from this video is the fact that you emphasize that we should be dressing for the person, season, circumstance we have right now… And not focusing so much on our dream state. I’ve taken that advice and applied to other areas of my life and it makes a world of difference!

I have learned that making my bed and getting fully dressed before leaving my bedroom in the morning, helps me to start my day with purpose. It sets the tone for my entire day. I homeschool my four children, but I still dress as if I'm going to work. Because I am! They see me putting in effort and I think it helps them also to feel motivated. And if we get an unexpected visitor, I'm not ashamed to answer the door. Even if it is just for an Amazon package.

I don't buy lounge wear so that's never an option for me. I pick my outfit before going to bed and set it out so that I get dressed first thing in the morning (I shower at night to help facilitate this). Love your winter white outfit!

I, too, am uninspired by warm/hot weather and avoid going out whenever possible. I look forward to videos addressing warm weather tips to look ladylike, classic, and shopping suggestions.

Happy 2022. We missed you! Glad to see you're feeling better 😌

Thank you for this video! I am a work-at-home empty nester who loves fashion. When I go out, even to just the grocery store, I dress as if it were an event, not that I wear an evening gown and heels just to buy groceries. It lifts my mood when I wear my favorite pieces, wear jewelry, and do my hair and makeup. It feels so depressing to wear worn-out loungewear and keep your hair unkempt at all times. I take a shower at night to wash off the daytime grime and choose my outfit, my jewelry and handbag for the next day to save time in the morning. In the summer, I always take a light jacket or sweater for air-conditioned places that feel like the Arctic. 💕

Some challenges with dressing for hot and humid weather include preparing for the extreme disparity between the outside temperature and the extremely cold AC inside and also the effect of humidity on natural fabrics such as cotton and linen. I can never go sleeveless or wear sandals in the summer because the AC inside buildings is so cold and I do not want to look crumpled when I arrive! I look forward to your suggestions!

It felt like forever since u last posted! I look forward to every video. I have learned so much from your channel & I feel more confident in my fashion choices as a result. Could you pretty please do a video on MODEST FASHION? Also I would love to see your take on the "OLD MONEY AESTHETIC" that has been trending lately... Stay lovely & blessed!

I realized as you said, " . . .it will likely change" that what made me feel great (colors, silhouettes) in my 20's are the same aesthetic that makes me feel good now at 60. My "colors" have shifted a bit with added gray hair, but the "lines" I choose over and over that feel good have remained the same. So interesting!

Audrey, you are so correct! Hair and jewelry really are the bow on the package 👏❤️👏.One of the jewels I learned from the pandemic, is getting dressed sets my happiness meter. I feel better about myself and there is nothing I can’t conquer. I have been a fan of yours for years, love your insight into life, fashion and humor, keep up the fabulous job! 👏❤️👏❤️👏❤️👏❤️👏❤️

“Use the clothes you work hard to cultivate” -Audrey ❤️ this needs to be my everyday mantra

Whoever figures out hot weather wardrobes needs to let us all know! It’s the classic struggle 😆

I, too, discovered capsules by accident. I had been creating them for travel---every piece must match everything else, limited number of shoes, paired down jewelry and cosmetics---and then one day decided to do the same for my work clothes. By pulling out a "work collection" and hanging it on a rack by itself, I was able to "see" combinations I couldn't visualize when the office-appropriate pieces were mixed in together with my "too casual" or "too sexy" clothes. I also learned which items and styles were the most versatile for my every day life. It wasn't until a few years later that I learned these curated collections were known by some as "capsule wardrobes". I've been a student and a fan of "encapsulating" ever since!

Ivory looks beautiful! Fyi- I had a black silk vest with big, tan Chinese bottles for 25 years & I am so thankful that I never purged it. Blouses, turtlenecks, long sleeve tees all, still to this day, look fantastic with it .

Great content as always! I was excited to hear you say you want to focus on warm weather style this year. That’s an area I struggle with as well.

Linen dresses and skirts are my favorite thing in hot weather since I live in a dry climate.

Hi Audrey, as usual your content is so rich and useful to any budget and style. In addition it is such a pleasure to listen to you as you are probably one of the few “fashion” RU-vidrs who use ‘appropriate’ grammar and are not using the jargon often heard where words are truncated. Thank you.❤️❄️🇨🇦

These are such fantastic tips! I tried the capsule wardrobe for December and I called it my holiday wardrobe. I gathered my Reds and greens and both casual and dressy. I picked out bottom step matched and isolated them in one part of my closet and it was extraordinary really helpful. As soon as I would wash them I would hang them right back up in the same spot. I felt like I got a lot of use out of those garments in a way that I wouldn't have otherwise. I liked not having to think hard about what I was going to wear four different occasions since they were all hanging together and I could ignore the rest of my closet. So as soon as January came around I did the same thing with completely different items. Now I'm already forming ideas of what to do for February and I will bring the red back out and also some pink sand burgundy's. This one change has made a huge difference in having more fun getting dressed each day!

You are always so good 😊 and a sweet voice ❤️❤️❤️

I understand the summer/heat aspect of a working wardrobe. I dislike the heat, so find it hard to figure out outfits - winter I'm fine I can pull together most outfits with ease.

I love your outfit. Loving the video already. ❤️

This is perhaps one of my favorite videos of yours, which is saying something! Thank you so much for the condsideration and care you put into developing your content, and for your keen recommendations. Without you using the buzzwords, I feel like I pick up a lot on themes of sustainability and what I consider to be the real foundation of minimalism. But the way you phrase your recommendations is so inclusive and timeless. I also really enjoyed the little snippet shots of your garments hanging together… so aesthetically pleasing! I’m feeling inspired ✨🙏

I'm going to follow your suggestion at the end about focusing on warm weather clothing. I too, am NOT inspired by warm weather and yet I live in Charleston, SC. I need to be more thoughtful about my purchases according to the weather here - wool peacoats and tweed just won't be worn long here no matter how much I love them! Also what works for my lifestyle - a stay at home mom and homeschooler who loves fashion!😄 I still need to be practical. Great video.

Hi Audrey, all great tips as always, I love your relaxed style although my style is nothing like yours. I am a ‘romantic/natural’ and warm spring colours suit me best. I have forced myself to keep up my styling throughout the pandemic as it makes my life (which is so transformed like so many of us) feel more normal. I do also give myself ‘days off’ from styling so that I won’t go out walking that day perhaps and wear just jeans and a top and focus on creative tasks at home... knitting is my new hobby, losing myself in great books, playing my sax, writing songs, sewing etc. These simple and enjoyable activities go some way to compensate for some of the social activities I have lost currently, and crave. I use a colour wheel to help me choose separates and basics that work together, I lay my outfit on the bed and then because I’m a bit ‘extra’ I always like jewellery. My style is very vintage, so I love a good brooch, and choosing what to wear is another creative pleasure. These things are keeping me sane. Thanks for your lovely calm energy and ever evolving approach to wardrobe management xx

Hi Audrey. So nice to see you. I wanted info on the outfit you're wearing but I don't use Instagram or Facebook. If it's convenient for you, please continue to put the info on this space. Best regards 😊

I just ran across a woman who complained that no matter how she dressed, she never looked chic or elegant. I advised her to look at her hair. Like you have found, I have found that if my hair isn't right, my outfit isn't going to look good. If your hair is in bad condition or the style is frumpy, the chicest outfit in the world isn't going to look chic.

You have the best style! Thanks for the advice.💕

I’ve been trying to develop a good Curly Hair routine to honor my natural texture since hair has always been a struggle for me.

I love that green shirt so much! Finding a good color palette was the one thing that made the biggest difference to my style.

I love that sweater...

I love your style and the way you create so much calm in your videos.

I just had my second baby and I feel like a total mess- thank you for this video, I feel like it has given me a place to start and get myself together

So happy to see a new video up on the channel ! 💛

Your hair is so beautiful Audrey. I'm always inspired by your videos. Thank you for sharing. Remain blessed xxx

Audrey you just make so much sense! Love you style and your advice is spot on👍🏻💕

So glad you are well and back! Look forward to more videos about warm weather style. I live in Texas and it is summer here most of the year. I love summer clothes, but am running out of ideas styling them as there is no layering, and very little clothes to play with in one outfit.

“Uninspired by hot weather” summarizes my life half the year here in south Louisiana 😂 so I feel that one!!

Thank you Audrey for being so inspirational! I love your elegant demeanor, and your tasteful videos. Your have helped me greatly, to find my own style journey.

I feel the same way about dressing when its warm out. Looking forward to your suggestions!

I always love your videos, Audrey!

My autumn winter outfits are the ones I love the most because I enjoy that weather. Summer is not my favourite so I dont have much to choose from that is inspiring. A video on ideas would be great!! 🤗❤

Happy New Year, happy sunday Audrey and welcome back! Love this video!!

I'm so excited to see you feeling better I love you and I missed you now that said I'm going to watch your video and learn something fabulous XXOO

Was getting worried! So glad you’re back & I live this message!

her voice is so relaxing 😌

I’m so glad you’re talking about Summer dressing and can’t wait for the upcoming content! I’m from the Northeast and moved way down South and it’s been a little bit challenging to dress for the heat & humidity (and ancient streets). I have AMAZING cozy layers for Autumn/Winter, but last year during the Summer, I lived in bike shorts & old dresses that I only “kinda” liked. Excited to have someone to share this with! ☀️🌾👗

So excited to see content pop up post-holidays! Happy New Year, and I hope you and your family are doing well. Was so scary to see that you had Covid after the holiday. My mother got it as well after having lunch with some friends. Hope you're fully healed, extra positive thoughts coming your way :) I couldn't agree more with your notion of having the go-to, dream wardrobe, and making the effort to 'get dressed' (as I sit here in my lounge wear lol). I've been working from home now for 2 years and during the cooler/colder months got very comfy in lounge pants, but now make the effort to put on something more 'real world appropriate'. The pandemic, and hitting a certain major life-milestone (gasp, 50!) have seen my wardrobe soften a bit. I'm leaning towards more casual and comfortable wear, but trying to also keep a certain level of sophistication as things change. Thanks for the reminder that 'showing up' matters to how you feel, and that what feels good will change over time and our wardrobes can match those changes and still look and feel fantastic.

Your voice is so sweet and calming. Thank you for sharing your savvy style tips.

I really always enjoy your videos, you make it look so easy

Glad you are back - i have missed you

Audrey has the behairful brush!!!! That brush is amazing❤❤

Thank you Audrey 💕. You gave me so much comfort in this video. It feels like a spiritual journey to find your own style 🌟

Love that green floral blouse you always show!!

it's so good you are back! And with such important content. Really worth seeing - thank you!

So nice to see you back, Audrey!

beautiful video thank you always have unique points!

Welcome back!!! Hope you are feeling well and that you have your energy back!!!

I buy fit and flare cotton dresses and shift dresses and rotate them in the week.

I,'m glad you feel well again! Welche back!

Welcome back!!! Missed you , your style, taste, soothing voice and manner!!!

Welcome back and Happy 2022! Great content as usual. I live in South Florida and definitely looking forward to warm weather dressing ideas. Thank you! 😊👍🏼☀️

I watch your videos for tips and reminders and they are always helpful. I see that your style applies to your home as well - brilliant! The key to my capsule wardrobe: I am retired. I combined some of my career clothes (which are classics) into my present wardrobe... kept more casual fitted suit jackets and ditched skirts in favor of close fitting knit pants, leggings or dark jeans... and have dresses and skirts for going out and summer. Only one pair of heels now (I'm tall). Cotton/spandex, cashmere, merino and high tech down alternatives for non-bulky layering in New England. Silk or cotton scarves. Hats to shield my face. A Burberry raincoat from 1984, a Dior coat from 2004, a Ferragamo bag from 1980 still work - simple and classic. I choose a flattering silhouette, quality, and stretch, so my worn out clothes look great for painting and yardwork (!). Even at home, during COVID, I dressed nicely. My attitude is part of my look: I have always been active and fit (former equestrian), eaten well, and taken excellent care of my skin (sunscreen & dermatologist) and styled my undyed hair for its texture and my face shape... so that I can feel good about myself and remain physically independent. Very fair skin = covered up!

Always a pleasure to see yet another video from you. Happy February, Audrey! May this be a great month for you. ☺️❤️

How nice to see you again, dear Audrey! ❤

Audrey, thank you so much. I really enjoy your video which is always encouraging!

Love this Audrey! Thank you for yet another great video!

This is definitely the video I needed. 🌟

You’re so TIMELESS 🤩🤩🤩

Most excellent! Especially liked the capsule wardrobe insert. Many thanks!

Audrey - just love your gentle speaking voice and calm presentation. You are so correct about a capsue wardrobe, I have lived overseas and travelled alot and can manage anything with two items to cover legs (trousers or skirt) and three tops, and that fashion faux pax - a pashmina as it takes no room to pack and if you buy the pure wool and silk is really warm. For shoes I take a pair for the day and flip flops for best. This tiny wrdrobe only works if every item works together. i never take pyjamas, just and old pair of culottes and a top - then if needed they can be worn as daywear!

Lovely to see you again Audrey & so glad you are better! Happy New Year. When we take a bit more time selecting clothes, doing something with hair, selecting some simple jewelry, we can feel better through the day! "...generosity as you grow..." Love that! Thank-you for your words of advice & thoughtful images which present opportunities for personal, clarifying reflection.

Thanks for really great advice and inspiration!

I love your videos...your quietness and gentleness make me feel relaxed... I agree with you on hot weather! I can find sweaters to wear but when it gets hot, I get lost... I'm also trying to lose weight so that doesn't help... Thanks for being here!!

You are so elegant! Thank you for brightening my day. X

You are definitely my unintentional ASMR fashion guru 🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 so enjoyable , I get a Two for one on your Chanel , thank you Audrey 🇬🇧xx

So glad you are feeling better and back on your feet, I missed your videos 🙂

Wow, Audrey the encouragement you give here is outstanding and can be "translated" or adopted to many other things in life!! Thank you! I can feel grace and empowerment... and to find that in a styling video is really remarkable... You ARE...

Oh! I love this video ! Thank you!

I love the thought of a capsule wardrobe..... I keep trying for it...... but your words really bring it to life

I love this white/beige outfit on you 💕

Another of your thoughts-- clarity--yes it is super easy for me to pull on a pair of yoga pants and a long sleeve T shirt. I want that same clarity to grabbing better choices

thank you for underlining getting dressed and outfit repeating. All your info in this video is great!

Audrey, I hope you had a beautiful start to your new year. This video has solidified the tone in my wardrobe right now. I just did yet another mini closet clean out. It’s just like you’v mentioned “it’s going to take time” but I’m very excited about the process. I live in the hot dry desert 🏜 of California and I only wear cotton during the hot months (which is a lot of the year 🤪). Every layer is cotton. I like dresses & sandals or a comfy Converse. So I have already started to be on high alert 🚨 for anything that will fit with all my current pieces. I also always try to find a good 👒 straw hat. I’m looking forward to your next video. 💕 Thank you.

I love to hear your voice , you are the friend I need to motivate me , thank you .

Love The Color Videos you are making

Oh I can’t wait for the summer stuff! In new Zealand the climate is mild to hot and I also like to use my summer clothes as a year round base, adding more layers as required as day to day weather is so changeable 🌹🌹🌹

Great to see you again. Good Fashion will survive any health crisis. Cheers and many thanks!

This video is so relevant to me, I had to retire on health grounds during the first on lockdown (I'm in UK) and immediately most of my clothes became redundant as I dressed for comfort only, wearing the same few favs on a daily basis. I seem to lose all previous interest in clothes, yet still bought them and my wardrobe is now overflowing, with no clear plan about putting outfits together. It just feels too much effort to get it all out and try on! I know I do feel better when I look smart, and previously I always ensured I did, I think being constantly at home for so long has had a huge effect on how I feel about dressing well. Coming to terms with having to stop work and dealing with the effects of the pandemic has been huge to deal with, but I really want to try and improve by Spring (my favourite time of year) and find that interest in clothes that I used to have. Your words and idea have inspired me, so thank you Audrey! X

Great video. I also agree about good hair day. When you have hairstyle that suits you everything looks put together 🦋

Great video today. Happy New Year.

Hello Audrey Thank you so much for all the beautiful and wonderful tips ,so appreciative 🙏🏼 I would like to mention that you look younger with this new transformation ( wardrobe journey ) thank you so much for the inspiration .

I have a hard time letting go of my wardrobe. I feel like I wear everything and some things more than others. I have teens who love to borrow my clothes and are thankful for it to be so big and versatile. But I do that capsule thing around warmer months of the year and I love it. ❤️❤️❤️ from NYC 😁

Welcome back in the new year, Audrey! My "bare minimum" the last few years have been scarves. Even putting one on with a t-shirt and jeans, suddenly makes the look more intentional, like I put in some effort. Still, it's so easy ;-)

Yes, please share your summer/warm weather discoveries. Xoxo

It’s great to see you Audrey & I love your video. Hope you are doing well 😊

Lovely video such useful tips 💕

My god you have become so good at this!

Only Audrey could weave the dream wardrobe idea together with practical advice so well. The Bare Minimum concept so helpful. Hope you are doing well, my dear. The white and stone combo looks stunning on you.

Hi, your voice super soothing.

Love your voice. Thanks for sharing your experience ☺
