Thank you for acknowledging that style doesn’t have to be pricey and that your goal isn’t for us to spend an arm and a leg. These are just ideas and a guide which I totally agree with. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and talent in style with us.

I'm older now. I'm ditching the tshirts, converse and hoodie. This lady taught me alot. I learned my body shape and how to style my body shape. I figured I'm changing and getting older. I need to act and dress lady like. 😊😊😊😊

@juliagoolia72 4 года назад

I find it a really great challenge to be inspired by videos and blogs and photos, then shop my closet and thrift stores to recreate the looks. It’s such an accomplishment to “dress for less,” especially if you can dress for WAY less!

@BusbeeStyle 4 года назад

Absolutely, Julia! I'm glad that you found inspiration in my video. xo

@sharonomarycasey6859 4 года назад

I just started your Style Made Simple book and I never expected that it would start off bringing tears to my eyes! I know all too well that moment when your knees literally buckle. Mine have twice. I also know tough times,even though I came from a rather affluent background (in a way that makes it worse). And I know what it’s like to change dramatically- from a size zero athlete to someone chronically and seriously ill. Seemingly overnight I turned into a size 6, sometimes pushing an 8. Then age! Mentally I’m still that 30-something, but for some crazy reason my drivers license says I just turned 60! 😱 I can’t wait to dive into your workbook, but first wanted to reach out to you and let you know you touched me. I feel like I almost know you! I also feel like I know my style pretty well and my friends come to me for advice and call me their “stylish” friend, but I keep having this nagging feeling that I can do better. That there are details I need to refine. I’m looking forward to the journey and plan to make it fun! Thanks so much and I’ll be watching and listening to you through this journey and beyond!

@ekaterinakozlovskaia8082 4 года назад

@hollyarnold1874 4 года назад

Hi Erin! So glad you opened the video with that! I have been a little frustrated with the constant pressure to “buy the look” but have started doing exactly what you said. I enjoy taking videos like yours as inspiration for outfits I like and have used them as a guide when shopping for items within my own budget. I have found Frame jeans, Hudson, Paige, Rag and Bone, etc. at Marshall’s and even Ross! Sure, you have to be patient. These things come up few and far between. But I already have an outfit idea in mind and when I score a find at these discount prices, it’s all the better! I’m not overspending and can still dress stylishly. I think you are accomplishing your mission, Erin!

I appreciate how there are several influencers like you that encourage folks to style what we have. That being said, I really love your brown toned fair isle sweater. I can’t afford the pricey one you own but found a similar option at Kohl’s. I’m excited to wear it this winter season. I actually own these boots and love them. Vince Camuto makes such lovely foot wear. My closet is full of his shoes & boots in different styles.

@lynnesfitness372 4 года назад

Erin...I do not feel like you need to clarify your mission. You have been extremely helpful in making looks out of what we already have. The screenshot suggestion has been key for me. So many times, we open the closet door and wonder what to wear!!! I now have printed photos of looks I liked that I can copy. The other suggestion that really helped was getting a small bar closet from Bed Bath and Beyond. Best $20 spent ever because you can make your outfits on the bar including the shoes and you are ready for the week. Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving. Idea for a video...go to someone’s house and show them how to style what they already have. Since I live in Colorado, I volunteer my closets !!!

I have 5 different pair of Vince Camuto booties, because his brand fits me best! I especially like his waterproof versions- I have in charcoal, black, & dark brown suede! They look great in the rain - plus no cold, wet feet!! I've also done better than expected by following your recommendation to shop my closet! Yea!! You're so humble & helpful. Thanks again!😊

Thank you for the initial clarification 🤗 let me tell you how much my closet has changed since I started watching you! I actually look forward to getting out and about because I finally have some elevated looks in my closet. I have spent some money but not a LOT! And the expensive items I’ve purchase I thought through and determined that I was willing to make the investment. So yeah I’m feeling really good about my style game so far thanks to you! ❤️

Your videos and advises are always very tasteful and helpful! I'm sorry on the behalf of those people who make you to feel like you have to dedicate a portion of this video to explain yourself. Ohh and I recently found a really nice black, puffy sleeves, 80% cashmere sweater in a thrift store for 6€ (7$)! How amazing is that! I was watching your videos and really liked how you were styling one which was from a store that sponsored the video, but personally I never felt like you were pushing me to buy it. I found one from a different source that I can afford and "test out" before committing to that style, because I usually don't wear things like that. And now I discovered, that it goes with everything! Thank you for that tip! I will surely try these ankle boot looks out also, because I already happen to have them I just didn't know what to do with them! Thank you :)

Thanks for the comments at the beginning. I can’t afford any of the clothes you feature and wouldn’t buy them even if I could because I love thrifting and don’t believe in buying new whenever possible because of ethical reasons.

I love the vibe and styles presented in this video. I typically can’t afford what is presented in many of those who present fashion, higher end cosmetics and interiors, but I’ve always used the information and ideas as inspiration for my personal style and home. I love brown! I love to ski and visit the West! I love the mountains, probably why I like your aesthetic so much. I’ve always wanted to live in that environment too. Lucky you. Some day, some day. 🙏🏼 (Oh, love your look today. Makeup AND sweater.) 🧡🧡

@kathleengoriup4988 4 года назад

I'm with you! I can't stand a sloppy, saggy turtleneck. Every couple of years Zara comes out with a stand collar mock-neck and they have one this year. It's terrific - nice quality, lightweight (great for layering), washes well and is so affordable. Love the booties in the video. They remind me of my Marc Fisher Chelsea boots that I collect in every color (and snake & leopard print, too). You created some super looks! Thanks!

Hi Erin, as always a great video. There must be a 'backlash' taking place in the influencer community as you are the 5th influencer that has mentioned 'conscious spending'. A suggestion for a video would be to take a fashion look, go to your closet and recreate it with the clothes you own. It would help those of us that do want to dress on-trend but don't want to buy any additional clothes. Thanks again.

@sonyaj66 4 года назад

Thanks for reiterating the idea to use what you already have out of your closet, Erin; I'm probably far from being alone in having neither the budget nor desire to spend a lot of money on clothes, and when I do, it's almost always from carefully selected thrift store finds. I'm totally loving the browns/neutrals looks you've been doing lately, and you've given me some fresh new ideas on how to style my jeans, in particular, with the tan booties I bought last year. Hope Telluride gets a good amount of snow with this upcoming holiday storm; I don't ski, but I know people are excited that Purgatory is opening this week to kick off ski season :).

@shirlynssleeve4661 4 года назад

Love, love, love the dress w/booties! Living in a cold climate having boots besides tall ones is great. I work in an office so dresses are my uniform because I sit over 8 hrs & pants cut over time. While leggings seem to be the item of choice for my 20 something counterparts I keep them for weekends or under dresses when we have a polar vortex! Maybe you could do a “Do’s & Don’ts” w/leggings?

I agree with many other comments that you are here for ideas. Could you possibly do that by showing a concept idea but with different price points. For example, an outfit from Nordstrom price point to a Wal-Mart price point and others in between. It may be difficult for some to understand or accomplish how to substitute for a higher $ item.

@klimtkahlo 4 года назад

How does that zipper work? I had a few boots with zippers on the ack and they always come undone and on ripped. Would you do the light color faux fur coat? I think it may be a more versatile option and not be out of style for a long time.
