I wear clothes and footwear that makes me look and feel amazing. I don't follow style "rules" and trends. I enjoy fashion, and I watch these videos for ideas. I will decide whether or not to incorporate them into my wardrobe.

I’m sure I’m the only one but I think those long denim skirts scream frumpy.

I agree that they look frumpy - at least to me.

You have great content that is not only inspiring but also helpful but you always start out with saying be kind to your neighbor, am I wrong to think any lady that is watching you already has those qualities, in fact most people are so kind, I mean that sincerely there are more kind people than not.

Thank you. I approach the topic from the other direction, because I have to wear flat shoes/ boots so it’s a case of finding dresses and skirts which work with them. Often, that means pointed or almond toes. Btw the blue sweater looks great on you 🙂

I think that the light colour of your slim heeled knee high boots is what makes them work so well. The black shoes often seemed too "heavy" even with a slim heel.

The pointy toe flats with the maxi dress definitely work

Yes, I totally agree.

Thanks, Jamie. Lots of good ideas. I sometimes can hear your guidance in my head while clothes shopping!

Wow these rules are so important! I know a lot of us don’t like “rules,” and get offended by people telling us how to dress, but the side by side comparisons here speak for themselves. Thank you for this amazing video that will save me from frumpiness! It’s a decision: to be frumpy or not, over 40! And we DO need rules!!! Because it’s about objective proportion, heaviness vs lightness, color, skin color (I’m as white as you Jamie!!), dated vs modern…. Those are not subjective. I’d like someone to see me as ME when I walk into a room, not be distracted by an odd proportion or dated combination of items that would detract from them looking into my eyes and getting stuff done and living life! I like the phrase that elegance is putting others at ease. Do I choose that today? Yes!!❤

Excellent! I agree 100% with your recommendations. Merry Christmas 🎄

Really great video!!!Thanks for the tips!!!🩷🩷🩷greetings from Portugal

Again, loved your options!! Thank you. I do struggle with the midiskirt.

Thanks for making a video to address my confusion!❤

An update in the spring would be great as well

I love pointed toe shoes and think your flats worked great with black maxi skirt. Great video. Agree with your choices. Thanks!

Thank you for this video, it’s really important to get footwear right 🌟 I also have concerns with leg wear, I have fair skin and thick legs so I like coverage, I appreciate you mentioning tights!!!

Very helpful. Thx! 😊

Great video, Jamie! Midi skirts come in different lengths, and your denim midi skirt is quite a bit longer than mine, which hits me a couple of inches below my knee. This makes it a bit more challenging wearing knee-high boots because I like to make sure there's no gap between the top of the boot and the hem of the skirt, so the boots have to be really tall to fit the bill.

The black maxi dress looks amazing on you

As someone who only wears skirts and dresses, this is really helpful! Where did you get that denim maxi skirt?

The pump or sling back 👍😊

Jamie, I would love to see a video on how to style western knee high boots.

I never cared for the skin colored shoes. Just can't get on board with that. I think I'd rather do the bookend option with black on top and black shoes on the bottom. Just my opinion of course. Love your videos though. They are really helpful.

Great info. The loafers are not my style at all. Tried to get on board with them but they remind me of my grandma too much. Loved my grandma but just not the shoes 😊

I wear flat shoes with all my skirts , I wish I can wear boots but my foot hurt and it has to be wide , boots on the island is not really a good idea. Pumps are nice

I always wear an about 2-2.5” heel with skirts and dresses, unless I need to change into sneakers or flats for long walks, as I did on my daily commute. For one thing, skirts and dresses are always too long for petite me and the heels improve my proportions. Thanks for this, I love any video for us skirt/dress wearers.

Im trying to find the right sock for my mary jane ballet flats at the moment 😂

Hi Loved the fashion trainers under the maxi black dress? 12:01 I dont see product info for them. Can you provide?

Hmm...I love your style and appreciate your videos but I disagree with a lot of your shoe takes in this one. For some examples the problem seems to be less about the type of shoe featured and more to do with the color and other factors. I think perhaps the flats were discounted in instances where they worked well. And I liked the knee length dress without the tights. I usually like fashion sneakers with skirts and dresses but here felt this pair didn't work.

I will stick with pants mostly though.

I thought this was a great video!

Denim midi skirt + black low heel loafers + black baggie sweater = Amy Farafowler 🤣🤣🤣

I like the strap black shoes better. I'm super tall so maybe that's why it seems fine to me... Not a fan of the strap nude pair.

@@annmariethomas9968 Cool. Is the green satin skirt midi? What brand? Thanks.

Many combinations you are showing as wrong clash not because of the shoe per se but for the colors you are choosing. For example, the rust brown satin skirt is asking for browns, not for cream or black.

In my opinion, the denim skirts are not interesting, everything else is ok 😊.

I think the maxi denim skirt is ugly!

Some of those skirts are way too long, to the point where it’s better to just wear pants. Those pointy toed boots are overrated and the loafers look better with some of these options. Overall the Mary Jane’s are the best option! And sneakers are totally inappropriate and just cheapen the outfits!

I don’t like the denim maxi- it is church lady- like what 19 kids and counting would wears. Of women who like Muslims wear to try to look trendy even their hijabs just kill the outfits
