These are great tips. I just need to follow the "Do I have something similar?" and "Does it fit my lifestyle?" When I find something that I absolutely love (style and fit - sweaters and/or shoes for instance) I buy more than one in a different color. I am retired and I still desire to wear classic and tailored clothing. I don't want to look frumpy.

Love your new colourful artwork - so nice to see you stepping out from the plain beige trend

@JoR00ke

Spot on! It took me a while but the dressing for your actual lifestyle is the one I now focus on the most, I long for certain styles but when I think about it I wouldn’t wear them in my day to day life. The tip that’s missing is ‘does it suit & flatter my shape’, that’s a really important one x

@giuseppinasanger6410

Thank you for this. I have been overly “influenced” and now have a bulging closet and am in debt. Really trying to turn things around and feel like this is the healthiest content ever.

@LittleMermaidMne

Great videos.
Thank you, Lydia. Very helpful. One can learn from your videos not only about style but also about smart shopping, which is so much important in this consumerism culture.

@tamaranatekina6462

This was very helpful and served as a great reminder to slow down when shopping. It’s so easy to get carried away. Thank you!

@cherylconnett367

Thank you, Lydia, you just reminded me that I have 5 black blazers and really don’t need another one!

@BrunetteGiant

Another way to phrase the lifestyle question that I heard was, "Is this something I just like to buy but don't like to wear?" That really hit home and exposed some major trends in my closet 😅

@teribeers5447

Great tips! One thing i have learned is to buy quality leather handbags. The cheaper ones don’t last and look dated within a year or 2. Keeping the leather ones for 10 years plus

@trandall1142

Great video. I would add making sure that it works for your body type. There are occasions when we can’t tell what will work for us until we try it on but other times we have an idea that certain things don’t look good on us and we try it anyway so unless you’re someone who is committed to tailoring, has a good tailor and doesn’t mind spending the extra money on that, really try to stick with stuff that you know works.

@gingerhalo123

Such good tips ❤ I need to take last one into account more often. I only started thinking and dressing smartly about clothes a few years ago. So I really don’t have a lot of pieces that would build out a wardrobe. Right now I need black boots. For the longest time it was finding a pair of comfy black heels. I feel like the list doesn’t end!

@kristineinwondrland

Loved these tips! I can vouch for the color one; knowing what colors are flattering on me has helped me make smarter purchases!

@kenbrb6261

can you do a video about reworking wardrobes to fit lifestyle changes (i.e., how to wear career/office clothes in different ways when you switched to work from home - you don't want to not ever wear all your blazers, blouses, etc. but you need to find ways to wear them more casually for when you go to lunch/dinner for instance versus to an office)

@caribecker5236

Simple, excellent advice!!!!

@tplayspiano

Thank you, this was helpful. I would add to your comments on color in that resisting temptation to add a new color unless you really love, it can be problematic.

@k8te_iv

I wish I had watched this video when I was 12 (I'm 26 😀) Thank you Lydia and greetings from Finland!

@mariev3797

Thank you Lydia
These are great tips ! 

With these techniques, we can buy less, but better. 
This preserves the budget to be able to buy better quality pieces. and thus obtain a richer, more elegant result, in the spirit of old money

@lynndupree1205

After discovering Lydia 3 years ago, I'm still asking myself every time I shop, "Would Lydia wear this?" It really helps me stay focused on what I need and it saves me time and money. I make a mental note of what's missing in my outfits instead of impulse buying. Recently I purchased a pair of slim cut jeans, even though I wouldn't wear them in any other way than tucked into my knee high boots. Now I can wear my much loved boots again after they sat in my closet for several years because I had nothing to wear with them. Many thanks to Lydia for her great advice.

Adore this video, Lydia! You have the best curated wardrobe, and are an inspiration to all of us. ❤️🎶🐾
