67 here and I love Emily's edgy chic vibe!

You talk the most sense of anyone I’ve ever listened to.

My number 1 habit to keep my personal style feeling right is to check tomorrow’s weather every night and consider the next day’s events then plan and set out what I’m going to wear. Way less fuss for a strong start to the day.

Yes to this habit!

You got me at bad ass music. At 67, keeping up with new metal, alternative and modern rock has kept me feeling like I'm not getting "too old" for youthful style, but just getting closer to my coolest, most unique self. I still feel edgy, creative, a bit eccentric, and confident in going outside the mainstream expectation for women of my age. And as the years passed, I learned to care little if at all about how others react to my edgy, somewhat bad ass choices. At least I'm not hiding in the land of frump, or too lazy or hesitant to wear what I love. I have actually finally come to love my own self, even with my faults, quirks and offbeat ideas, and I feel like the real me on the inside AND OUTSIDE, showing the true me without fear and despite how "appropriate" I may appear.

I love this! Thank you so much for sharing your journey Linda!

I agree… I think music is so empowering to many facades of life… love your choices.. by the way I am 76

Gosh I love your video's, they just hit the spot on edgy fashion chic! Last week my son 35yo said to me that I don't dress to my quirky personality anymore which really hit me but it made me realise that I had "dulled" down my style which is usually similar to yours but with a 1950's twist to it. So I hit the shops and purchased a few new items and accessories, I then walked into a random hairdressers and had my hair cut back into a short edgy style that I not only love but inspires and makes me feel good about myself. Thank you again for your videos, your style, music and smile.

Ahh Emily, you are so right on it! There comes a time when every true artist’s creativity takes the form of expression to other parts of life than creating objects. You have transcended the idea of fashion into an expression of yourself. When it doesn’t ‘feel’ right, then it’s not expressing YOU. When I look at an article of clothing that interests me, I first imagine myself wearing it, then if that passes the test, I ask myself if I love it. Then I go on to ask if I’ll wear it a lot and finally the basics: fabric, fit and appropriate to my lifestyle. It may seem like a lot to go through but the clothes that I have are a part of me now and express who I am. A long time ago I let go of all the staring-I embrace it now. I’m a badass! I love myself but it took many years of meditation and acceptance to come to this place in my life. Magazines, videos and other people’s opinions are fine. They can even be entertaining. But I’m here to live my own life and I’m living in full expression, wonder and exploration. It gets better and better as each year passes.

patricia from A Small Wardrobe said "i am my own currency." her aesthetics is different from emily's but her philosophy is quite similar.

I just got out of an 11 year long work stint in an incredibly toxic beauty salon. The owner was a narcissist and it nearly broke me. Your advice about avoiding toxic people and environments was more profound than you probably realize. Extricating yourself from toxicity frees you to be able to be fully authentic and the types of habits or “rules” you speak of suddenly become clearer and easier to follow.

You’re so right about music. One tip I’d add is “check your posture”. Take a before and after look in the mirror while you’re doing it. You’ll be amazed at how much better you look regardless of what you’re wearing.

ATTITUDE is everything! I had a dance instructor explain that to me. Thanks for reminding me of this with the "badass music" aspect in your confidence habits.

Love the element of music in discovering/embracing personal style. Can totally relate to this 🎵

Music is an instant confidence booster.

Just today l really felt that l am beginning to create my own personal style and have taken on board all your tips. It has helped so much to watch your videos and to hear your honest and realistic comments. I feel that l shall be on this exciting journey forever and my wardrobe is becoming more curated and my confidence is growing ! Thankyou as always

I completely relate to navigating away from negative friends. Not just negative in general, but particularly someone who gives me a bad time or questions why I make the effort to dress well, or wear lipstick, makeup, etc...One person said, "I don't have a husband to look nice for so I don't care." Well, I just explained that I don't do it for my husband, I do it for me. Esthetically I feel much more comfortable making friends with women who care about their appearance and enjoy creativity that way, and I'm working on not feeling bad about it.

I watch you because you don't compare yourself to others, you're not afraid to be edgy and creative, but not so over the top that it's impractical for "normal" life. I connect with that tom boy/classic with a twist style. Your life advise is also helpful and timeless, and....I love your boss music too. :)

Ooo very good question…what do I do? I think I when I get dressed I imagine my outfit, even if I wear a mustard cardigan from Target, I think, what will complete this in a fun way? Contrast is my thing a lot, along with comfort lately. I try to put the pieces together to get impact in contrast. For example, mustard goes nice with purple, but if I want contrast I go ref or purple with my accoutrements. I wear a pink beret with mustard a lot too.

I want to thank you for helping me find open wardrobe. It shows me what’s in my closet so when I’m on social media and see and outfit I love I can try to recreate it with stuff I already own.

Emily, I have classic, bohemian and a little edge style. I had the hardest time finding a channel that helped me sort my fashion sense out to translate that. Well, here you are and I love what you’re doing here in this channel. ❤️ It’s helped me get my minimalist wardrobe together this year which was a goal this year and it’s going really well (with your help). I’m feeling very confident about the choices I’ve made in my closet. This is an ongoing process and I’m at the point where I can play around with intermingling pieces and making them all work together.

Comparison is the thief of joy. Still having to remind myself of this at 37. I have progressed to a point of self-love & acceptance but still have to check myself especially with social media. I recall a couple years ago my husband & I went to England without acquiring any debt. We came back & I was on Instagram not more than a week after we returned feeling bad about my life because what I saw other people acquiring or doing made me feel like I didn’t have or do enough. Mind you we own properties, have no car notes, no credit card debt & travel at least yearly, usually more. We are doing well & I still felt bad. That moment & feeling was a serious reality check! Every time that feeling starts to creep up, I check myself.

Emily, I'm so interested in your eye for edgy style, I'd love to see videos about what feels modern and cutting edge to you, and what doesn't: hairstyles, decor, anything!

I've dubbed my alter ego my dark passenger lol thanks Dexter, but she likes leather and black things and is dangerous and beautiful. She's probably from Sweden and you know some underground spy for the government. Lol A huge reflection in my art and the way that I dress, my writing everything I can relate to an alter ego. And music propels me everyday, it can uplift you when you aren't feeling well, or need the boost of energy to get things done. I like a good walking song, I take a lot of transit so it makes sense.
