You are so welcome!

Oralia, a big hello from Algeria, North Africa. Just to want to congratulate you on your channel. Though I'm not oversized, rather short a bit overweight, 70 years, I love watching you for your personality and honesty. Bravo for everything. ❤

Great video. 100% agreement. Hahahaha you are so classy and slapped down self-righteous commenters with such grace. Chapeau!

BRAVO..... you go girl....I to am 5' & 1x - 2x depending on the style & cut. I wear what I like. You have shown me that some styles I would not consider have tried & was very impressed. Frankly I'm tired of women & men for that matter being so judgmental of plus size women, perhaps they're not confident in their own skin. Thank you for the support !!

I did like them, they were comfy. 😉

To be honest here, I've never been in an H&M store (none anywhere close to where I live), but I didn't see anything that I like in your video today...EXCEPT......your kitty!!!! LOVE that sweet furbaby!! And today is National Cat Day, so very appropriate that he/she made an appearance.

I thought the joggers looked really good on you. The black is very forgiving and flattering. I’m really liking the dressed up joggers trend right now.

Very nice review. Cute pieces. ❤

Thanks for your personal statement about people’s opinions. Sometimes those kinds of comments feel really personal-especially if the receiver has a history of getting underhanded put downs from others (designed to intentionally put them down). It’s a delicate balance! ❤❤❤

Well said, sister! ❤

Hi Oralia, I am very new to your blog. Your points were well taken. The blazer, I purchased a very similar one through the Banana Republic, and with the discounts, it was less than a hundred dollars. I bought the one that had the pockets on the front. The loafers were nice, but not a patent leather person. I think it was due to all those years of wearing patent leather Mary Janes for the holidays.😉 I am looking forward to seeing more of your blog. H@M is a bit of Miss, for me, more of a hit. Their quality isn’t BR, but close. Thanks again, and until next time.

Hi and welcome! 👋🏼 I have had some success with H&M, but you have to look for it. I think the loafers are a hit, for sure!

I have never been in an H & M store so thank you for the review. I tend to purchase the same brands like Ralph Lauren, Chico’s and Jones. All of these fit me to a tee without having to do alterations. I pulled out some of my winter clothing for an upcoming trip and can not wait to wear everything. Keep up the wonderful reviews. 😎🐈‍⬛🐾 Kathy

I had the same problem with a beautiful white linen pants. The pants were to big but the lining was way to little.

@Oralia_Martinez

@margaretdillinger5090

@@Oralia_Martinez sometimes linen needs lining but like you pointed they used poor quality fabrics. They didn’t even try to size the lining to match the pant. My right leg is bigger than my left leg. That proves to be awkward with pants.

This was a great review of what I typically find in many brands for plus size. Thank you for giving your honest opinion on this H &M haul. Being confident shines through in whatever style, and you bring that out in your videos, I appreciate that. I really like the loafer shoes and the blazer. Question, how do you feel about the oversized 80's style, shoulder pad type blazers that I see in fashion right now? Anyway, great video, keep up the quality content that you have in every video. Happy shopping!

I don't think the super oversized shoulders are wearable, but I do love a vintage blazer with great shoulders. Just not the big hair, lol.

Thanks for another good show, Oralia. I don’t own a blazer but did like that one as it’s long and I’m 5’6”. There is an H&M in my closest shopping center but I’ve never gone in looking for plus size clothing. I’m not optimistic, though, since in Canada these stores often carry different lines/options. I have had good luck at Costco lately. Recently picked up 2 merino waffle knit sweaters for @ 40$ Cdn each. Now I need a lesson in what necklace would break up the plainness of those crewneck sweaters 🤔. Love your videos 👍🏽 👍🏽

You can go a few ways - a short chunky chain or a layered chain. Both would look really great on their own, and together. 😉

I agree with you Oralia, the pieces do not look like they are worth the money. The only thing I like were the shoes, I have a pair of loafers that I have had for over 20 years they are leather and classic, I live them, they are back in style so I can wear them.

I for one love your style,I am built much like you,so your personal clothes are also the sort of thing that I think looks good on me.Though I am much older than you(79) I still enjoy dressing well,I also love wide leg pants,as I think with my narrow hips they hang nicely,and I don’t have extra fabric on my hips.I love cashmere sweaters,and have collected a few over the years,I also rarely wash them,though I have one with a stain,which I hope Dawn will remove,if they can clean birds with Dawn,maybe my sweater won’t mind.

@Oralia_Martinez

8 ай бұрын

LOL! So true. Dawn is the best stain remover I've ever used and I'm curious to see how it will do on cashmere. 🤔

the blazer appears not to hang smoothly. I know when we see the video it maybe not as it is in reality. Love your channel.

Ive never been able to find good stuff at HnM- they don’t do plus well IMO- the BR tailoring is top notch.
