Every time I see a butterfly pin, I think of an elderly lady I once knew. Her signature statement piece was wearing a butterfly pin on the back of her left shoulder. It was quirky but so rememberable. She had a whole collection of them and I always looked to see what kind of butterfly pin she was wearing that day. It gave her a fun happy feel about her person.

Hello, I wanted to share my breast cancer story after seeing your brief stint on this video. I don't know the history about your journey as I do not have Instagram. My husband and I are both FP and GP physicians, respectively. However, our education and training still didn't prepare us for my journey. At 47, I found a soft lump on my upper, mid section of my right breast, almost near the ribs. Based on what we were taught, it didn't feel like breast CA. It felt like a lipoma, or that maybe I had bumped it and forgot about it because it was soft. My husband still immediately got me into and US. It was normal. This was Feb. By June, I had a PAP and was sent to my routine mammo. I told the OB NP about it, but she didn't note it on my chart, so I told the tech about it and she made sure that section was scanned. Result: Normal. July comes around and the lump was still there, if not getting slightly bigger. It started as a peanut size and was now a small almond size. Husband told me to go see a General Surgeon. She told me a persistent mass is usually biopsied, either by needle or dissection. Since I had breast aug, she said that could affect the accuracy of a needle biopsy. I decided to go for full dissection. Even after surgery, the surgeon said the tissue didn't look bad, just maybe a friboma. 2 days later and my husband said she had called him with my pathology report...breast cancer. I was in shock and denial. Immediately went to the idea of, "No, they had another patient chart with my name there that day that I saw. So, maybe they got the wrong chart." Regardless, I had to go to Oncology. I was sent for an MRI with dye. Was told there were fibrous lumps in my left breast, but that they looked fine. They suggested chemo and radiation for the right breast, but just to monitor the left breast. My oncologist told me it was up to me. Also, since I have a daugther, I wanted a BRACA gene test to see if I'm a carrier. I had to finagle my family history a bit to get that approved. Result: Negative. Still, it didn't sit right with me to be conservative in my treatment. Decided to go with a double mastectomy, with reconstruction. I didn't want to wait to see if my left breast would turn bad someday. It was a difficult decision, but I knew it was right once I made it. I tell my story as much as I can so that women have a more informed thought process. In my opinion, the only way to know if your breast lump is normal is biopsy. It sucks to have a scar, but I'd rather know the absolute truth, rather than get the scans, and then wait 6 months to recheck. Had I done that, my oncologist told me it might have spread to my lymph nodes, which I did get tested with my 2nd biopsy to fully get margins. I had Stage 2A breast CA due to the size of it. Meant more aggressive chemo, but no radiation because I had chosen the double mastectomy. I hope that helps anyone in this terribly scary journey. Please be your own advocate. Doctors don't always have the right advice or knowledge, even though we have the best intentions.

This is so timely because last weekend I went through my closet and donated 75% of my wardrobe! I was sick of all of the things you mentioned. I wear scrubs every day to work, so my closet was really lacking. I set up a pinterest board of capsule wardrobes I love. I am fashioning my closet after the French woman's basics, but I didn't know where to start. I decided to try a clothing subscription box, and it's literally lit a fire under me. This weekend, I went shopping and found a crisp white blouse and a basic blue blazer. Yippee Anywho, my signature is my full Italian lips 💋 of which I always dress in a deep pink for winter and a brighter pink for summer. I have 3 more inches of growth to be 💯 grey, silver, and stainless steel, much like your color. I'm finally coming into my own to the point where my girlfriend's husband commented how "put together" I looked when we carpooled to a graduation party together. Thank you for all of your inspiration. From one Licensed Esthetician to another...Cheers🥂 Joy

I would do a pie chart of all your activities and how you spend your time. Make sure you are building your wardrobe for your actual life (with a little indulgence toward your fantasy life). Try to think of 2-4 words that sum up your style personality. Sit down and brainstorm which basics would work best with what you already have. Basically ignore 90% of what people say you need for a capsule wardrobe. It should be very individual. Stick to colors you always get complemented on, good accompaniments for those and needed accessories. Make lists of possible outfits. What are you missing? What needs altered? Could you rework some of your older styles? Good luck.

Nikol, I enjoy your makeup tutorials but I LOVE your style videos. Your aesthetic is my obsession.

I loved this video, Nikol! I’m 64 years old and everything you said about older women is true of me. I don’t have anything in my closet that I don’t wear, and I always know exactly what to wear for any occasion. My statement piece is my red lipstick (with my white hair). Thank you for your videos. God bless you and your family.

Nikol🧡 I have felt so inspired by your reels. I had told myself about 2 years ago, no more swears or lululemons! I have been revamping my closet and it is a game changer! I feel amazing and I feel put together. I think as we allow our grey hair sparkle and allow the aging process ( while caring for ourselves) having a beautiful outfit and Jewelry/ accessories, is key. Thank you Nikol 🍑🙌🏼🧡Lisa

My smile is my trademark ❤

My statement piece is a vintage long Chanel necklace. I also limit and edit my closet. Can't wait for new product.

When I get compliments on an outfit, even from strangers, I write it down on a document saved on my desktop. Then in the future, if I can't think of anything to wear or get a last minute invitation, I look over the list to get ideas. Saves time.

I just returned home yesterday from Texas. And when the meteorologist says 'heat dome' oh my gosh was it ever HOT! One thing I did notice was how beautiful Texas ladies are, despite the sun and heat, they always looked so well put together. And even with the harsh climate, most had some of the most wonderful skin. I came home thinking I need to take better care and pay more attention. After I cool down..... 😂

My statement is definitely my accessories. I enjoy using my jewelry to add a pop of color or to pull a color that you would not notice until you accessorize it! ❤

My aviator Ray Bans, and pink lipstick🦋

Good hair and good posture are my priorities!

It's so easy to find an outfit when your wardrobe is decluttered from all those things that don't fit right or they don't serve your lifestyle anymore. As for my statements... my natural curly hair, mascara and a well fitted blazer. Thank you for sharing your style tips. We need more!!!!

Nikol, I love your channel so much! You remind me of my sisters. Are you sure we weren’t separated at birth?😉I’m 54 years old and learned a long time ago from my gorgeous mother things to be seen as chic and stylish. She taught my sisters and me the importance of building a classic wardrobe, to replace what might seem ‘worn-out’ to keep things fresh, and how to add simple, thoughtful things to look really put together. She taught us how to appear is social situations, how to set a table, even how to walk! (And my mom was a professional biologist!) (My mom is a true renaissance woman!) Etc..,etc… I’m grateful to the lessons my mother taught us. I’m proud of my beautiful, classic way of dressing, my classic and elegant makeup and hair. I never struggle with what to wear in any social situation. I love these topics you present to remind us there is joy in being a mature woman! ❤️

My currls are my statement! For years I tried to straighten or style them out and add highlights. I've embraced both them and my gray streak and my hair looks wonderful!

Great video and tips 🎉 since I transitioned to my natural silver hair I love wearing bold colours and bright lipsticks, I feel empowered 👩🏻‍🦳🌷💄

My statement pieces are a Hawaiian heirloom gold bangle bracelet stack acquired over many years. Light pink nails and red toes. Big sunglasses. Thanks Nikol this was a good topic!

I love your motivational videos Nikol. My statement has always been a red lipstick 💄 and now that I have transitioned to completely grey hair it’s essential! ❤

Nikol, I really needed this video for inspiration. I’ve been buying jewelry and shoes on sale. I love a white pressed blouse and pants, well, the pants are tough because I have a tummy. I am finding that these will come together and I just need to shop according to my budget. I just love your inspiration 😘

Nikol! So very pleased I found you. I'm 63 and decided to give myself a full makrover. I normally take care of my dogs - german Shepherd a rescue Yorkie and rescue prima Donna cat so not so much need as a desire. I'm formally a DC "suit" and still appreciate fine grooming and dressing. You are informative and entertaining and so very genuine and positive. And yes, beautiful! I appreciate your expertise! Thank you! I've ordered your products. Amazing!

I absolutely Love! Love!❤ your hair Nicole. Any tips on encouraging hair growth! Thanks for your input on all subjects. Fascinating.

Thank you for the 5 tips Nikole. My ‘statement piece’ are my earrings. I choose them to bring my face/make-up and ensemble together. Somehow this focus has always worked for me.

For those of us not on IG etc, could you link the video where you show the white tie top over white pants? Just the look I've been trying to find! Thank you, Nicole! You're the best!!!

Every summer my 2 pieces of statement clothing are a Lilac blazer and a Purple blouse. Red and Green are my colours for winter xx

To add to taking supplements having a quiet/ meditation practice is key to good mental health and keeping stress at bay.

You are always inspirational. I am petite so my statement piece is my short and sassy hair and never leave home without lipstick and earrings.

love this video! Thank you for the motivation to edit my wardrobe. I was doing it slowly & got off track by other things coming up. But I do enjoy feeling put together & having nice outfits for work. My top priority today is taking my pile of items that I’ve procrastinated taking to my seamstress. Oh and congratulations on your new website. Such a huge improvement & easy to navigate.

Another inspiring and encouraging video. Thank youuu!

I have been trying to thin out my wardrobe. I’m making great progress. I do have too many t shirts, but we camp so I always bring extras. I really don’t have a statement piece, except my buzzed haircut. I thought I looked good but I have received a few questions about why I don’t let it grow. They were said nicely, but …. About 40 years ago, I’m 74, I loved hats. I had them in all different colors and wore them everywhere. May be I’ll look at that again. I try to age gracefully, but I have to learn not to let silly remarks knock me off track. Your site helps a lot.

Your style tips today are right on. It keeps me inspired to manage my wardrobe!

I have been told by many people that I always have the most interesting shirts/tops. I wear longer shorts and capris 85% of the time here in FL, so I do try to find fun tops to wear. I look for fun necklines, cutouts in sleeves, or bell sleeves, fun patterns, etc. I feel those fun tops draw attention to my face, which I feel is my best feature.

I go to a hormone doctor and she has me on bio-identical hormones. Makes all the difference!

Great video! Thanks ❤

Your style is outstanding! Thank you for all your make-up tips too.

Love the wonderful tips. Statement piece belts small waist. Looking forward to your inspiring fashion blog!!!!

Yes, I have edited my closet - down and it feels so good. I actually know what I own and can easily find what I need to make my statement.

Another woman is helping me once a week to exit my closet. So excited!! You have exquisite taste in clothes and beauty‼️

I LOVE your sense of style in this video. I would love to see more fashion content.

My statement pieces are pins/broaches. I love how they look and also the beautiful ladies who have gifted them or passed to me. I love the way they look and the memories they carry. I wear on lapels and self belts and as scarf holders. I love your posts Nikol! You are inspiring my weight loss WHY

That is a good question! My statement would be bright colors. Lately though, it has become my silver hair! I love the orange dress! Thanks for another great video! You always knock it out of the park! 💖💖💖

I'm going on 63 this year and one of the most important things to me not only is how the outfit fit you but the Comfort Comfort is everything and breathability for summer or the warmth for winter. When you're feeling comfortable no matter what you're wearing for whatever season you're going to elude the confidence of these classic style outfits whatever they are they don't even have to be classic they could be modern when the woman shines so will her outfit

Again so helpful!! Not sure if I have one statement piece, I just like wearing different necklaces & earrings. I have alot of necklaces from South Africa & I have fun putting them with dig outfits that maybe others wouldn’t think of.

Im 64, and my statement is my grey hair, curly or straight angle bob. Ray-Ban tortoise shell wayfarer. Makeup is minimal with a pink brown lipstick by lancome or red in the fall/winter.

I just went through all my clothes before I saw this video and gave away a huge garbage bag full. I am most definitely sporty in my style. LL Bean and clothing like that is what I feel most comfortable in. If I had to really dress up for an event I'd be in trouble. I'd have to go shopping!

Hi Nikol, I really enjoy your videos, I’m 68 and finished my grey journey …. Best thing I ever did!! Just wanted to say you have a beautiful, classic style and a beautifully curated wardrobe that has inspired me to work on mine. I love the vintage Escada cardi in your latest video, are they still around? Can you share where you purchased it? Also do you ship your cosmetics internationally as I live in Australia ?

My big curly, unruly, and silver hair and my smile are my statement pieces!

I am slowly cleaning out my closet. I'd say my signature is red lip and short red nails and my jewelry which is delicate gold pieces with either pearls or gemstones. I don't like neutral colored lips because then I feel my face is all the same color.

I am a picker😊 of clothes at goodwill 😊 I always get compliments and my style is more bohemian but love linen and silk, signature piece? Not sure yet, probably that j wear gemstones 😅

My statement is my lipstick. I wear lots of pinks. I like light pinks but love hot pinks! It’s my Barbie look!! I have also started using a French red. I am really enjoying the red as well!

My statement pieces are my bold glasses. 2 pair of regular and a bold sunglasses paired with a bold lip. I am bald and I want people to look at my face not the shine on my head. Love the tips.

I'm a jeans girl and I love to wear t-shirts I don't know what you actually call them but they're the flowy things that you see girls sometimes wearing on the beach. I have been buying them like crazy and I guess that's my thing that I'm known for when I go out on the weekends dancing at the clubs. I always say I must have been a butterfly or a pretty bird in my past life.
