Honestly I have never liked to show my arms. I am 41, and I am still not comfortable showing my arms even though I do strength training 5 days a week ….I like to wear crochet tops or lightweight cardigans that are soft and breathable or a white linen button down. You can wear just about anything you want underneath these. So these are my 3 go to’s to hide my flabby abby arms 😂

Yeah I love me a t-shirt too. I just make sure that whatever I'm wearing is something that I want to support. Because we're basically giving them free advertising lol so all of my t-shirts are my favorite movies or bands or whatever. You won't see me wearing a Taylor Swift t-shirt if I don't listen to Taylor Swift if that makes sense.

Started walking a year ago. I walk 60 minutes everyday on treadmill. Im now addicted to it. Last years clothes are now too big. I went from a 6 to a 2! I feel much better at 61 than I did at 60. Happy to get rid of. I sell most items online. If they’re still in style you can sell most everything. It’s a lot of fun, and gives me extra cash for new.

Anna, you mentioned those spaghetti strap tank tops that we were wearing years back. I love these for under sheer blouses and tops and under blazers and jackets. They are a great underpinning. I wouldn’t wear them on their own, but as an underpinning, they are great. Especially for travel, they pack really thin and I can have a clean white tank top everyday.

Regarding trying things on to see if they look good on you. If you can, I REALLY recommend setting up a cheap tripod (mine was $30 on Amazon) and snapping some pics to look back at. I had a few pieces I was going to sell because I just felt like they looked “meh” on me in the mirror, but when I looked at the pics I was like “Oh my gosh, that dress actually looks really good on me” 😆. And the reverse can also happen… where something you think looks pretty good… in pics… not so much. You can just get more angles and a more “full” view of yourself in a pic then you can in the mirror. 😘. Love your channel always Anna!

Concert T shirts have their own special category. It's called "forever." Lol.

The main thing that helped me wear my clothes and not feel overwhelmed, is by packing away the winter clothes come spring and summer. It frees up so much space. Same with packing away summer clothes for winter. I put all the clothes I wear on cruises in their own container. Cruise/resort clothes and shoes are a totally different monster.

Too true for many of us and so sensible. Why did sensible come a dirty word when many of us have bills to pay and no money available for keeping up with fashion. We are told that find out what suits you and keep a hold of it now matter what the fashion. That’s good …..how you dress becomes part of your personality .. it works, I am quite old and most of my look is a little bit of every years that works for my body and my personality. ‘Fashion’ wants us new every year but that is only to make a huge profit, make loads of money, travel the world and meet new easy to manipulate new customers. Do what you feel is 4ight and good for yourself. Money doesn’t grow on trees.

I live in Florida and we cruise a bunch. I love a nice kimono over a casual strappy maxi dress. It adds a whimsical light weight cover for the girls that want to cover their arms, but don't want to pull out a balero or heavier style of shoulder cover. I still love a kimono in my plus sized 47 year old hot Florida beachy world.

For the cold shoulder tops, if you still love the top you can have the sleeves removed (at a tailor or maybe you have a friend/family member who can sew) and wear it as a sleeveless top. I changed a few of mine and they turned out great!

Another clear, kind and useful video! I agree with all your closet edits and would like to throw these ideas out there for consideration: 1. Extend the use of sequin tops by wearing them under a chiffon layer. The chiffon softens the boldness of the sequins and seeing the unexpected sparkle is fun. Sumer sequins are fun at every event that has fireworks regardless of the casual nature of the event. My red sequin top is my 4th of July at the beach favorite with a chambray shirt or jean jacket. 2. Repurpose the spaghetti strap tanks, short-shorts and kimono dusters as pj's and robes. Limit the quantity retained because "saving" clothes to repurpose is quite a rabbit hole. I like to wear freshly washed PJs every night so a few extras come in handy. I also repurposed one or two printed cotton jersey dresses that are good for lounging and sleeping in. They are in good shape and I don't mind sleeping in tie-dye or last year's floral print. I like your kimono as a beach coverup idea too, but then it depends on how dated the print is. When I tried it, I just felt I could do better in an old white men's shirt or my chambray shirt. I don't know if I should be proud of this, but I can honestly say that I disposed of most of the out-of-style pieces due to staining them. Somehow, big boobs are just a magnet for lunch stains in spite of pre-treating my laundry. Maybe I need to invest in washable scarves that I can tie to my purse after eating. Ha-ha. That's my new trend. 😬😂🤣😭

Mr. Clean magic eraser is wonderful for cleaning shoes, especially leather athletic shoes. You can't go wrong with a breton stripe in a classic fit, also a classic white or black crew-neck t-shirt in both long & short sleeves. For jeans, Levi 501, classic strait-leg fit, NO distressing, that's just not not for me. Ballet flats, cap-toe espadrilles, & classic Keds sneakers. My 'three words'... Simple, classic, comfortable.

Great video with lots of good suggestions. You should probably make a video like this once every 6 months; it’s motivating me to do a closet cleanse.

Hi 👋. I found ruanas and kimonos last summer, and what I like about them is that they can gussy up a solid (otherwise boring) skirt and Tshirt, or, in my case, a navy blue and otherwise indistinct Tshirt dress. I use them to add a statement piece to bland solids, like a solid black tank dress. A ruana or kimono can be a beautiful piece to add interest, whimsy, and a touch of femininity to an otherwise unremarkable background neutral. I think you have some great suggestions, and don't mind when you say something is out, 'cuz that helps!

Excellent Video💐

Great video Anna! Ditching the prints for classic solids such a simple good idea. I've always had loads of prints and you are correct, they get dated faster than anything. That was great when I owned retail stores for 30 years and had to represent the store....LOL....but those days are over. I'm learning how to keep it classic, fit and fabric feel right, and with a stylish edge from videos on your channel. Kudos fellow Florida chick!

Thank you so much for this list!! We sometimes get blind to what's in our closet

Your ditch-it suggestions are spot-on. I did a closet purge last weekend and tossed a ton of stuff in most of these categories because they seem dated to me too. I've never liked ripped jeans or jeggings, so I don't own those, lol.

I love watching your videos you're informative & funny. ...I do have a style question: Is it IN or OUT of style to tie at the waist a button down cotton shirt?

Great video!

I work in a machine shop and I bought about 20 high neck tanks from Target for $8 for both work AND home. The scoop necks are good, too, but I prefer to be modest at work regardless of whether some of the other women in the plant wearing shorts and spaghetti strap tanks because it’s “too hot”…. My high neck tanks are professional and stylish so I’m happy! I may buy more to pack away at the end of the season since they’re likely not going to be the same style/fit next summer. Thanks for the video ❤

This was the first video of yours I have watched , I love it. I'm obsessed with linen at the moment, linen shirts, wide legged pants and dresses. I've never been a print type of person apart from the odd dress, and the last time I wore ripped jeans was more than 40 years ago 😂. I love the way you presented this video, I could see you in a movie like Sex in the City, great sense of humour and you look stunning. I'll be watching more of your videos, thank you.

My video is up using your method Anna! Thanks for the inspiration! 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

It’s all relevant. I thought your beige waistcoat and your short shorts looked really great on you. Quite classic……..even classic changes. I am very old and live in a roomy house so I kept good quality clothes or those that were in very good condition, had a good label, or plenty of wear I kept. For the last four years I have been in and out of hospital…having my upstairs shop has contributed greatly to my recovery. I can’t get out much but getting something from my ‘upstairs shop’ has been vital to my recovery. If I am still interested in what people are wearing and what I can use from what I already have has kicked me back in to today, provided a lot of interest and excitement. It may be only in the home but I have people coming and going all the time and I enjoy having a foot in today without spending any money. I won’t be written off and clothes are the signifier if you are ready to let go.

I go through my closet every season. Some older clothes remain because they are still ok. I recently did get rid of several embellished tops that I rarely wore but kept for some dumb reason😂.

Hi Anna great tips. But I would make exception for certain graphic tees. I never was a fan of them, but I had Anne bing sweatshirt with brigit bardot picture, I loved it so much, so I found white t shirt the same print. I love it it dress down certain outfits, gives some edginess, without looking outdated🤔🤪 I actually going to wear with my Prada sheer skirt, instead of Prada tank top, which is little bit too literal. Well I do like the top, and I might still get it, but the graphic t shirt, I think more interesting. Ah I always loved dresses, I actually try to learn to wear more two pieces, cause the dress it’s just too memorable. Even I have a lot of them, still there is not so much you can do, to make it different. That’s why I got Prada skirt. I also want to get Dior black skirt from last fall winter collection. It’s midi it’s more a line. Can be styled so many ways, especially for SF, all year long… the rest I agree. P.s if you really like yellow, you can find the tone, that would look gorgeous on you. Those cooler yellows, on me look horrible, but when I put that sunflower more warm yellows, omg, one of the best colors on me. I am blond too, light to medium warm tone. Have a blessed day🙏❤️

I am ruthless when it comes to purging my closet! Good tips Ana! It took years for me to figure out my style, and what works for my body. And at that point I concluded that a capsule wardrobe works for me. I know this does not work for everyone, but the principles behind it do work. I think a good purging once or twice a year is necessary. I also think if we knew our true style and value well made clothes, we will purchase less, and enjoy clothing/ fashion more, rather than having this emotional high of obtaining a new piece and wearing it minimally only to seek out that high again and do the same thing all over again creating this monsterous consuming cycle. I think it's just as fun to purge as it is to bring in new pieces that I will value for years to come.
