    I really like most of your ideas, though some are just not doable for me; due to disability I have misshapen feet with additional oedema in my lower legs and feet, so heels are not even remotely an option, neither are some dainty flats. I'm rocking my orthopaedic, square stompers (that make me look like I stole my daughter's roblox character's feet) to everything, leisure wear and formal dresses. And yes, I see the stares I get, my feet are disabled, my eyes and brain are okay, it's just nothing I can help. :) It's such a great idea to show the type of garment you are talking about, and show your personal clothing items, as well. All the love for you.

    I feel like you do. I want to feel pretty and dress my own way. I find myself happier when I stay in my own lane and just be me. My friends are the same. We are very happy and fulfilled “girls”. We rock even if we are approaching the sunny side of 68.😊

    Hola Oralia. I'm 62, 5'1 and 218lbs. For sure I don't want to dress old or too young either. There has to be a balance. I'm not a capri pants person. Never was and never will. I'm short so to me Capri's make me seem shorter. wide legs pants for me are a big no-no. For us short girls it makes us look shorter and wider. Long dresses for me, depend on the way they are on top. If they're V-neck, off-the-shoulder, or a halter, yes, but if they're round neck or high neck, then no. Definitely, it will make me look like a chunky midget. I try to stay away from prints. Florals heck no! Round necks are a big no for me. Stripes I avoid also. I love dresses and for me, the A-line accentuates my body type. I'm a pear-shaped kind of girl. Very curvy. I wear them above my knee, again I'm short and for me something below my knee makes me look shorter. I also love shorts. I'm in Florida so shorts are my go-to. Shoes at my age, I have learned that now, comfort comes before style so I don't wear heels higher than 2 1/2 and the heel has to be wide. I find that wedges are great for me. I don't own black color sandals or shoes. I don't own black purses either. I do not like black shoes or purses. I do have lots of accessories that I tried to incorporate as best as I can, always keeping it classy and neat. I don't want to look like "Jewel Freak." The pink print dress you showed at the end looks so nice on you, totally my style. Thanks for showing me what works for you.

    100%. I am not plus size, but I am very short. I am so tired of people telling others what to wear- no big prints, no maxi dresses, blah blah blah. Ignore all the rules and wear what brings you joy.

    Your channel has been a blessing to me! Could you please do a capsule wardrobe edition for a long business trip? I've got a new job in investment banking and have been working remotely since the pandemic - now I am facing a 3-week long onboarding in Luxembourg! I'm super excited but as a person wearing size US 26/28 with an apple shaped body I'm terrified what to wear and what to take with me! Please, Oralia, help me before I'll spend all my savings on the bunch of unflattering clothes!!! ❤😢

    The indigo denim top looked great with your white denim skirt. I like your red pleated skirt but do not like the satin top at all. You can do better.

    1. Looks nice 2. Oh Heck NO. Makes you look like a stuffed sausage. Def NOT flattering. 3/4 DEF no. Worse than #2 Denim top/white skirt… GREAT! Ruched maxi… it’s decent Denim jacket… great! Crochet trim cardi… nice! Square neck top… home run! Stripe dress… C+

    Horizontal stripes are a hug gripe for me. I have a large bust, and do NOT want to make it look bigger! I also live in Florida, synthetic fabrics are the invention of a demon. But finding plus size natural fiber clothing is hard, and finding linen is near impossible. Style & shape take a distant back seat to not having heatstroke if I walk a block outside on a summer day.
