Wow! I just watched this, and I love your idea of creating good looks by using just one noticeable item. The shoes, jewelry, belt etc. I watch these videos to refresh my wardrobe for the day. Thank you!

You look great in all of the outfits made up of simple separates. Thank you for the great tips that I can implement. 😍

You’ve made me realize the importance of accessories! Earrings, necklace, bracelet or a belt pulls even the simplest outfits together. This past (COVID) year has had me dressing down. Thinking positive for better times ahead 🤞

Good Morning Kay! Perfect timing! I am in the process of packing for a 4 day get-a-way to Traverse City, MI with my husband and I can use your tips today so I don't overpack! Loved all of your outfits today!! You are always an inspiration!

I just loved the linen separates and the green pants with white top, l would wear these.

You have great ideas, very inspirational. I’m working on finding my style and paring down my wardrobe. Thank you Kay.

Another great video,thanks Kay!

Oh those outfits loved them all. Thank you. You look great in them all . Good tips. Now I have to try them all.

I started belting my pants last summer after watching one of your videos. It has made such a difference!! It gives me a more polished and “finished” look. I thought I had to be skinny to tuck my shirt and wear a belt, but you don’t. It looks great, especially with a third layer. I used to wear my shirts untucked. I now realize it shortened my legs, added extra volume where I didn’t needed it and made me look frumpy! Thanks so much for your styling tips! ❤️

Great video again! Appreciate the advice and how to pull together things that are already in closet. I started tucking and belting again after many years of longer tops and tighter bottoms - takes some getting used to but I do love it. It also makes me aware of my waistline and reminds me not to eat too many chips🤓 . I remember years ago when overalls were considered stylish and my friends and I realized we were adding to our waistlines due in part to wearing overalls so often. Funny how styles can influence weight gain/ loss.

I know others have said it, but a belt makes such a difference, I'm slowly tucking and belting, trying to gain confidence in that area.

Thanks for showing us some great new silhouettes for Spring and Summer. I'm realizing that I'm really in need of some new pants and a pair of jeans. About a month ago I started tucking in my tops and wearing a belt. I hadn't done that in a very long time. You're right, Kay, at first I did feel quite strange, but I love it now. Next up: I'm going to purchase the Nordgreen watch. I bought one several years ago. Absolutely adore it! Can't wait to order the Unika watch. I've been hearing that skinny pants are OUT now. I have several pairs of skinny jeans that I'm thinking about discarding. What do you advise? Actually, I've worn skinny pants/jeans probably for 10+ years and am quite tired of them. It's refreshing to see straight leg pants with high waists IN again. The barrel pants would definitely be a bit of a stretch style-wise for me, but I'm going to at least try on a pair and see what I think.

I’m looking everywhere for the sandal you had on with the jeans.

I understand why you say it's important to add some modern silhouettes to our wardrobes. However, I think we also need to keep in mind our height, weight, length of our legs, Etc., because these pants would not look good on me since I am petite and have short legs. They would make me look heavy. I believe that this modern silhouette would not work for everyone. Also, I know a lot of influencers encourage the wearing of sneakers, or trainers, as they're sometimes called. I actually think that this detracts from an outfit, especially for women who are 40 plus. I put them in the same category as ripped jeans. I think they are two things that we age out of. Just my opinion. Thank you for your videos!

One other thing I would add to the list of things that I believe we age out of after age 40 plus, would be jeans with frayed bottoms. This, along with white sneakers with any outfit and ripped or distressed jeans. I would also add pants that are too long and slouchy (which some influences are showing on their KZread videos). I just think it looks sloppy.

Pretty blue top but horrid fitting black jeans

I have never worn heels or pumps with jeans, could wear flats, but just felt for me the heels were too dressy for jeans. Interesting for me to see you wear that look.
