Hi lovely friends. I hope you are all really well. In these times of austerity, I thought it would be a good idea to explore what we already have in our own closets and maximise our own clothes. Let me know if you like this idea and what you do to re-use your older clothes. Lots of love. Deirdre. XX

I love the idea of shopping your own closet. I put outfits together and take photos to put in albums on my iPad…like Pinterest. This helps me to have outfits I can put together quickly because I have already tried them out!

Very helpful suggestions. I love your style. I'd rather watch videos on how to put together items already owned then new trends coming up. Thank you

Just found you. I love your content. I'm a retired makeup artist and would like to offer you and your subscribers a hint regarding makeup. When you're wearing the lighter colors, and you're an older woman, softer is better. When I first glanced at you, I noticed a beautiful outfit along with the purse and shoes. However, that's not the 1st thing I saw. I saw blush and lipstick. I didn't see your cheeks or lips, I saw makeup. We need to soften the color. Wear tones appropriate for your skin tone(warm or cool). When I suggest a softer shade, I'm talking about a neutral cheek and lip. I see a thick stripe across your cheeks. We must choose something lighter in color and learn how to get rid of any sharp lines. Our makeup choices can either make us look expensive or make us look cheap. Perhaps you could try a blush and lipstick that looks like pink and brown combined together. If you took a cool pink and a warm brown as a blush color, you could wear this look with EVERYTHING you wear and look younger. Put a dusting of translucent powder on a powder brush and move in a circular motion starting from the corner of your lip to the end of your ear. This will soften any demarcation you may have from your blush. Most importantly, have fun! Try new things! And take selfies and see what looks you fall in love with!

Thank you for the tips. It's a job I've put off for far too long, I have two huge wardrobes I haven't worn for at least 2 years! I need to shop my own wardrobe too. Thank you 💐

I really like your idea of mixing up dresses with a sweater and boots. That gives me lots of options! And I’m definitely going to unearth my leather jacket. Thank you Deidre.

This video has been a favorite… thank you sooo much for the fun and mixing up styles

Love this idea. Maybe I’ll wear some of my old clothes differently now.

I wasn't going to mention the water on your blouse. Lol Seriously though, I am smack dab in the middle of a major weight loss journey and I am not buying anything for a while. I have many outfits that I have been unable to get into and I am shocked I can enjoy looking stylish again in my clothes in my own closet. Loved the 💚 green and 🖤 black!

I’m only three mins in but I think your video is really good because it is different from other Shop Your Own Closet videos as it incorporates how to mix styles.

Brilliant video as ever. Just shared with a friend who has a lovely wardrobe but feels stuck in the past. She’ll love this 👏🏻 I just can’t believe that you are talking about a Sunday best dress for church and seeing grandparents. You are far tooooo young to have had a ‘Sunday best dress’!!!

Deidre, regarding the blazer you wore with the graphic tee, I think the back vent needs to be opened, i.e., the temporary stitching removed.

I love the white tule skirt. so beautiful and flowy. Also I suggest you wear shoes the same color as your slacks or tights. It tends to lengthen your legs instead of cutting them off. Thank you for your video. I so enjoy watching. Debby

Don’t feel bad, Deidre, I’m wearing my freshly-washed favorite silk hoodie today. I unexpectedly had to spray graphite spray into a sticky lock on a piece of furniture that was being moved, so I put on gloves and full apron first. But of course, it sprayed black spots back all onto my hoodie, making a square about the bib part, and my onto my silk scarf (worn because the labels on the hoodie neck were itching)! Shout Wipes to the rescue, but I did go around with “wet spots” all morning, oops. (I’d better wash them tomorrow, to remove any residue). Life gets messy, even just with drinking water! This was my one of my sporty/classic outfits, because I was going out for lunch afterward, but I didn’t expect to get messy, just telling movers where to put things. I should have asked them to do it, they were dressed for moving, not lunching! Anyway, I’m enjoying mixing sports luxe with my classic wardrobe, but I don’t wear most sporty stuff because I’m allergic to the polyester it’s usually made of. I’m always looking for organic cotton, silk or lyocell sportswear that will work for me, it’s so comfy, and modern. I’m leaving the daytime sequins and glitter to Trinny, I can’t “pull them off” like she does, I’m so short and don’t like to attract attention. M. Just wearing something other than black gym clothes attracts attention where I live! Ratty old jammies would blend in well, though, but not for me, either.

Thank you! This video is helpful. 💛 I would love more suggestions and possibly several videos about how to dress down office work clothes, especially nicer slacks. I have all the questions! Like can I mix a nicer top with joggers? Then what shoes would go with that? Tennis shoes or sandals or what? I’m mainly looking to use the clothes I have in a much more casual way. Thank you so much! I’m looking forward to your suggestions!

I really enjoy your videos, thank you.

Those pretty shoes ... with a tan crumpled, stiff cotton or linen, boat neck sleeveless shift dress, plus small black canvas shoulder bag with a thin strap, and a small classic black and gold watch

So true, elegant clothes seem to be grateful when they are worn more often. And... I also come from a family where we two girls had our Sunday's best. This custom shouldn't be continued any longer. Thanks, Deirdre!

Thanks for these wonderful suggestions! I will try that. ❤ You asked how I might style those lovely shoes. I might wear them with a knee skimming denim skirt matching belt and a button up shirt tucked in. I enjoyed this video. Thanks.

Do you have ideas besides t-shirts to use to layer in cooler weather. I've lived in South Florida over 30 years. My husband & I are planning a trip to Germany in March. I need something like the thermal wear of olden days updated & hopefully warm and thin. Any suggestions?

Always a good idea to shop your wardrobe as so many things we buy new are similar to what we have already……great styling ideas Deirdre. Love those shoes…perhaps put them with a little pair of ankle length skinny jeans with light T-shirt and a blazer. Smart but easy 🌸

I have an absolutely beautiful long dress that I wore in Las Vegas for my 40th birthday (15 years ago!) and I've never worn it again, because it's VEGAS STYLE, not Texas style, where I am.

I've recently found your channel and am loving all your videos. Thank you for sharing all your amazing hints and tips. Xx

I’m going to do this, with pretty scarves on my plain tee’s and jeans; cute shoes to set the tone for a plain outfit.

Since I purchased it, I'm using my garment rack all the time. Had a carpenter add a wood plateau above the rollers, for shoes and bags. Thanks to the rollers It can be smoothly moved around. Granted, one needs a medium-sized bedroom. Also ideal if you have got a dressing room. First, every Sunday I prepare my outfits for the week ahead, by hanging them on the rack, and putting the shoes and bags on the plateau, so convenient. Secondly, it is precious when it comes to trying,, mixing and matching one's clothes without having to cover up the bed and you get a much more accurate idea of the results. Bravo for your super tips.

Classic with athleisure works for my vibe and coastal climate., ie Nike beige or camel sweatpants with white t, navy blazer white sneakers., pearls always. Those TH lounge pants with white shirt look smash on you well done. 👍💜how Id style those lovely cream flats is: worn in Levis, a black t shirt and a Chanel or Chanel inspired tweed jacket, probably either beige and black one or a color one like red. voila. Happy Day to you and thx for the great video

Great fun fresh ideas video!! Now...on how to style the bow flats as you requested us to do. ;) I would style them with a pair of leggings in the same color or darker as the ribbon...fresh white tank top...under a long lightweight cashmere/silk blend handkerchief style cardigan in the same or similar shade as the leggings. All " light colored/ neutrals like blush or cafe u lait"...maybe a pop of color like a salmon for the tee and throw in a long textured raw silk scarf in a deeper salmon shade. I think I really like the salmon and neutral combo. There you go! That was fun! Thank you! ☆♡☆

Another simple idea to change up an outfit is to add a belt, especially to trousers with belt loops, of a straight-cut dress. It adds detail and polish, and can give more shape. I wear slightly looser or straight-shaped knit dresses at home in the winter, their comfort is unbeatable, then add a belt to go out (as well as boots and jacket or coat, of course). Or add a silk scarf, my favorite accessory, to hair, neck, wrist, as a belt, or on a bag (geometric prints, like stripes, checks and dots, are very “in”, it doesn’t have to be a traditional floral print, if that’s not your thing). Finally, “bookending” an outfit by wearing shoes in the same color (more or less) as a top and/or jacket, looks modern, as does switching out more formal footwear for a nice, clean pair of sneakers instead, great for shopping!

Another wonderful much needed for me inspirational viedo! I loved all your examples! Not so much in to the pink skirt But I totally get your though process on showing us an example! I loved your neutral video With those Bow shoes! Let me think about styling from those shoes up !
