I've recently gone on a rampage of altering my clothes. I'm SUPER picky on fabrics, cuts, and how clothes lay on my body. I have a hard time finding a piece that I don't have at least one gripe about. I have 100s of beautiful items in my closet. So I've been hemming skirts and pants, completely redesigning sleeves (adding little ruffles is my fav), making tops a bit more modest, adding embellishments. It's becoming a hobby and I'm finally loving everything about my clothes 😊

Fabrics, quality, fit. Off the rack is never perfect. I sew so I make my clothes and I thrift for other things I can tailor to fit my body. Jeans I have 3 types and 3 brands I rely on and wear. I’m a skirt and dress woman. I’m not a trendy person. I’m in my 60s now and my style evolves every decade but the colors, materials and fit are always my number one things I look for.

Haven't watched yet, but this title explains why I thrift so much. Can't get mad at clothes you get for just a few dollars! 👍🏽

You're blowing my mind right now I'm often poked fun at because I wear leggings or beautiful flowing dresses but nothing in between. So many loved ones have suggested that I level up to a blouse and jeans to feel more put together but still casual But it's never felt right and it's because my practical word would be "unrestricted" rather than casual. I've never sat and made myself think about a more appropriate descriptor before

Casual, Put Together, Confident are my 3 (actually 4) words.

Discovering that light spring was my color analysis season was a game changer for me! It is soooo hard to find warm pastels in store (light colors with warm undertone). I find that most pastels that I see are better suited for summer color complexions (light colors with cool undertones). I also see so much autumn or winter color themed clothing. It's made shopping a lot more streamed lined for me! No longer do I have to look at every clothing item on the rack! I only quickly visually scan racks of clothes for my color season now!

Thanks for this!! Helps me reframe! I have been THAT friend in my friend group of 35yrs- who accepts all the “handy downs” as I call it… so last weekend I got a bag of dresses from my girlfriend, and even though she is multiple sizes larger than me, they all worked! It looks like I’m gonna take on garden/beach whimsical for a while, lol.

To figure out my words I thought about my favorite outfits or items... This list of words is PERFECT for me! As I went, I had trouble with *one* word but I let myself say a phrase (see below), but as the 3 ideas work together I could drop (most of) the extra words down to easy, fun, and uniquely styled! (It may seem like I switched the last two portions, but they go together so closely for me, it works either way.) 1. practical word/ day to day wear: easy to put on but not boring 2. aspirational word/ like to dress/ movie character goal: fun! 3. emotional word/ how you feel in those clothes: uniquely put together/ styled

Lost 60lbs. over the last year with the Noom app. and recently donated 9 bags of clothes. There were about 6 items I still wanted to keep that I swam in but I found a good seamstress and took care of those. At 64 I still work but in the not too distant future I will not need work type clothes either.I have to really feel in the urge to buy the deals for my new shape. Thanks for your time and help 😊

I live in a four season state in Tennessee and I work at school. I have always been a dress/medi skirt/maxi skirt person and I dress like Bea in the movies Peter Rabbit. I like summer dresses that come down right at my knees and pair it with a cardigan shirt that comes down to my waist or a jean jacket in the summer and spring. In the fall/winter, I wear the same dresses and skirts but with black leggings and sometimes a sweater over the dress. I prefer clothes that I can wear all year round so I don’t have to rotate. I love clothes that I will be wearing everyday and I think I have found that style. I love this video of yours since it’s not promoting how how we should look but what’s practical for our actual lifestyle. My fantasy self was the corporate woman look with blazers and pencil dresses and skirts. Yes I could wear that to school but I looked too formal and I barely grabbed those outfits so they got donated.

Thanks so much for this! Im 38 weeks pregnant with our third child. We live on a property and I'm home with our kids. Definitely find myself ordering things influencers I like post which don't necessarily work for me in an attempt to feel put together and confident. Will definitely try this postpartum to help me declutter my wardrobe and start putting together a cohesive closet.

As I have gotten older I actually spend way less on clothing. I only like linen, cotton or rayon. Living in the South, I need breathable clothing. Blessings ❤lifeatthenutthouse

THANK YOU!!!!!!! This video was excellent for me I had no idea what style I had so I bought clothes that stayed in the closet. Looking forward to trying this method ❤❤❤

After 3 kids, stepping down from full time out of home work, I’m coming out of a stressful survival part of my life. The last calendar year at home I’ve had to find myself again. I’ve got a few ideas, but I’m still working on it. Thank you so much for this video! ❤😊

Fantastic! Finally, some great filters that I can use as I shop, but also as I declutter my closet. As always, such a great and encouraging video!

This was one of my favorites of yours. Thank you, Angie, for your words of wisdom and putting something out there that we all feel. I often buy second hand but that can also be dangerous because if it's a great deal, I'll buy it hoping i'll love it. Then a lot goes to charity a year later. But knowing the three words will help when I go through my closet this fall. I appreciate you!

Oh Angie, thank you for sharing this video! I'm a few years older than you and just a few years ago I said it was time to start dressing more my age. At that point, my birthday was a slap in the face and a wake-up call that I need to invest in myself. I still could care less what the latest trends are, but am slowly starting to care about fashion. I used to watch a 'fashion vlogger' and she kept talking about words and I just couldn't wrap my style around her fashion as it just didn't flow nicely together. It took me several videos to realize that it was her being a few decades younger that I just couldn't relate. I felt horrible that she rocked that boldness and I just struggled to find pieces that fit. I have since stopped following her and am in such a happier place now. This is the video that every girl needs who didn't grow up in a home that taught such things. I am relieved that I can now define my style (after I complete the 3 words homework - lol). I am thankful for stumbling upon your channel - please keep releasing such wholesome content. :)

Love this idea. A friend gifted me with a color consult for my birthday last year and it was life changing! Since then, I've been totally overhauling my wardrobe. I think this process will go so well! About a month ago I decided I was going to do a personal experiment and wear a dress or a skirt every day for a week. I've never done anything like that before. I was curious how it would make me feel about myself. I found out that I love it! As I've gotten older, I've realized I want to feel more feminine and I've never felt good in lounge wear. Just makes me feel frumpy and blah. Not anymore! I've now stocked my closet (via thrifting, mostly) with lovely but easy summer dresses (in my best color palette!) and fun graphic tees to tie over for a casual vibe. About a week in a half into it, my husband made a comment that hurt my feelings and I stopped for a few days. He didn't mean to be hurtful - we've been together for 20 years and this was very different for me! I think he was legitimately curious 🤷🏼‍♀️ I realized, though, that it mattered way more to me how I felt in my clothes and I'm still wearing dresses most days. It's also much cooler - I'm in Texas and it's HOT! I can still do everything I normally do on a daily basis, I just feel better doing it! I'm 37, a stay at home mom of 6, and not having anymore babies. I've never felt better about myself and my self-image as an older mom

Angie!!! Happy Birthday month!! Know that 40 was the best year of my life!! finally all of my baby weight came off after eight years… I was in the best shape of my life, my libido was through the roof from 40 to 42 or 43. Enjoy this coming season of your life! It’s going to be awesome.

I love this, thank you. Totally makes sense. Realising I need to be smart as my practical word because of my ‘job’, but adding in feminine and creative. Really excites me going forward.

comfortable, colorful, cool 💗

The way I laughed when I saw this title, after literally just buying from multiple of your links, and then proceeded to watch and fully expect to be influenced to buy more 😅

Happy birthday month Angie!! 💛 Ive heard of this method before and it has literally transformed how I shop and what my closet looks like. Buying for my fantasy self was the drawback I was experiencing when deciding what to wear as a stay at home and homeschool mom. I always love your videos and thank you for encouraging us to be authentic to ourselves.

Nice that you mentioned that this was not your original idea. Good job

So yeah, I’m just gonna play your video on repeat as I declutter. 🙈😝🙌🏾

I was so surprised when you said your age only because you are so wise! Great content!

It is funny that the things I am so drawn to do not look good on me at all. I love lace, but I put it on and oh, gosh! I know what is becoming to me, and I generally go with those things...solid colors and more tailored things. It isn't necessarily what I think of as my personal style, but these are the things that look best on me. I love bright colors. I love bold prints. I love boho, feminine, flowy things. But these things do not love me. Instead of my looking like I am wearing the clothes, it looks like the clothes are wearing me. So, I do add pearls for the softness and feminine quality I really like. I find solid colors that have some tailoring, but a little flowiness, too. Sometimes, I have purchased things because I loved the color, and I've worn them once. It is hard to part with things that you've paid good money for, but I'm thinking it is better to donate these items, so someone gets the benefit of them while they are sort of still stylish. Day to day, I go for comfort over anything else...and this is where I add my color. No one sees me, so it doesn't matter so much, and my chickens certainly don't care. Lol. The other thing that you do have to take into consideration is weight/shape/size. I have noticed that for plus size women, the choices are very limited. I don't know who these pieces are designed for, but it is not for most women. There are a few companies that try to help you feel beautiful and fashionable even if you are in a plus size, but most of them think we all either wear tents or can wear the brightest colors combined with the boldest patterns. I'm petite in height, have an apple shape, and a small face with smallish features. So, no, no, and no. I am working on it, but until I get back to a size where I have more choices, finding things that aren't merely comfortable is a challenge. You would look good in anything...honestly. I love all of the things I see you in when you make videos for us. Thank you, because I do think what you shared is very helpful for everyone.

40 is coming for me in a few short weeks too! Happy Birthday to a fellow cool mom! 😎

I miss your organization videos.❤

What a pretty little one you are and so wise and grounded. I really enjoyed watching you 😊

My daughter turns 45 in July!! And my son turns 52 in October. I am a natural strawberry blonde. So I like your hair color.

Great video. You did a great job explaining this!

Great video! Thanks!

so helpful!!! thank you so much!!!

This is another video that makes me encourage people to check out “Reframe Your Brain,” by Scott Adams- though he talks about it often in his daily livestreams, “Coffee w Scott Adams,” 10am EST. I really feel like Scott and Angie perfectly compliment each other- Angie with the concentration on we women! (Hope you are ok w this reply, Angie. If not- i understand if you delete or hide) ❤👊🏽

Thank you! This is actually very helpful. I’ll be utilizing this for sure. Happy early birthday!

A lot of fashion depends on your shape. Mine is pear. The most hateful one. No little black dress for me because if it fits my bountiful butt, it’s too big in the top/bust. I love seeing all your fashion tips, and I live vicariously thru you. 🤷‍♀️😂

The Bible says to not wear mixed fabrics, I have been slowly replacing all my clothes with linen and organic cotton, makes decision making very easy

Im a homestead, middle of nowhere, homeschool mom. In the summer i prefer midi dresses or right below the knee. I like classic, soft feminine style. Winter i have a hard tome finding something that i love. Dresses and hauling firewood isnt ideal. But jeans are not always comfy.. walmart jeans.. If anyone has any suggestions im all ears!!!

Looking for tips here! My words are comfortable, sophisticated and harmonious. And in that order. BUT I've noticed I sometimes throw in a few edgy (sharp, black pieces) accessories in some outfits. Should I incorporate that in my style words? I feel like it is difficult to define my style with only 3 words, or actually, only having ONE aspirational word

Can I use Playground Bobo Confident?? Lol 😅

My problem is I have multiple words 😅

Just don’t buy clothes. Just wear what you have. Easy.

comfortable, colorful, cool 💗
