  • Stylish woman knows how to carry themselves. Good posture and always smiles.

    My signature piece is scarves. I was in a kindergarten classroom for 20 years and I wore a scarf almost everyday. At times the children have called me the scarf lady! I LOVE scarves even when no one else is wearing them. I feel totally complete with a scarf and lost without one. I have learned many ways to tie them over the years and people come up to me and ask me how I tied a particular scarf. I get compliments all the time. That is my unique piece. Love your blog, I get so much useful information here. Thanks for being you.
  • The biggest secret is wearing the proper undergarments for your body shape proportions and the outfit you are wearing. The second secret is wearing the proper shoes. The 3rd secret is getting your hairstyle for your colouring and face shape, lifestyle. The 4th secret is knowing your colour palette and using it to build your wardrobe. The 5th secret is your accessories should match your colour palette and your body type that including belts and sunglasses. Thanks for the video

    I think a stylist woman knows how to make sure not too much “fine china” is hanging out in their outfit. I’m talking about baby doll dresses or short, shorts, tops that are overly sheer without appropriate foundation wear. Especially as we grow older, I think it’s important to know how to be stylish and modest as well.
  • Confidence is key. Whatever your style, wear it proudly! I also agree with the comment about good posture, very important.
  • Just discovered you this morning! My physical therapist talked to me about having properly fitting undergarments. This was in respect to my back issues which are a result of my poor posture. Proper posture and the right bra significantly help the frump factor and help whatever you're wearing look better.
  • I love skinny jeans, leggings and cardigans don't care if I am stylish I know I look and feel good wearing them! (I am 77 yrs. old)
  • In summer, I wear an assortment of white jeans. In winter, I always have on a stylish scarf. My friends always look forward seeing what jewelry I am wearing. You don’t have to be a blue blood or rich to have class
  • @kayjane2115
    I am so glad to see the straight leg jean is a current trend! It never went out of style with me, lol! My body shape is a triangle, so skinny jeans never looked good on me, in my opinion. I think a stylish woman knows what does and does not look good on her, but isn't afraid to try something new. Thanks for sharing these terrific tips to help keep us current! 💕
  • @polly2020
    So happy straight jeans are back , and blazers too, especially for Autumn when it's not cold enough for a coat. Great vlog as usual
  • Hi Kay. What a great topic! I think you hit the nail on the head with suggesting that stylish women have a signature in the way they dress. My sister in laws Nana lived in to her 90s and was always stylish. She always had her hair up in a French comb and had pearls in her ears. Always elegant and refined. I don’t think I can really remember her actual clothes. Just that she had style and fantastic accessories and poise.
  • I am 35 and have been redoing my wardrobe this for the past year and a half. I have been discovering my signature style and signature colors. I am finding I prefer a classic style but with bold colors. Emerald green for the spring and summer and burgundy for fall/winter are my favorites. It feels good giving myself the time and energy needed to be a stylish woman.
  • Oh my gosh #3 “dress for your body shape” is probably my favorite. My mom used to drill this into us girls and my mom always looked good in whatever she put on because she wore the clothes instead of the clothes wearing her. So glad you included this tip!😉 RIP Mom❤️
  • @hjburns
    I love, love, love that you included other influencers in your video today. Your blouse is such a statement piece - Wow!
  • A stylish woman wears things she is comfortable in that fit properly. I don’t feel confident if I have to keep pulling at the back of a blouse to keep it from falling too low or pulling at a top that doesn’t cover my abdomen. I love what you said about knowing your shape signature style. I’m having to learn some new rules as I age but I don’t have to give up looking stylish.
  • @Crismsu11
    I love it when I see women wear what they want with confidence even if it is a little eclectic and different. This doesn’t always pertain to clothes. For instance, I saw a woman (probably in her 60s), with streaks of purple in her hair. I thought she looked so cool! It inspires me to be myself and wear what makes me feel good. 😀❤️
  • My style secret is to use a little restraint and keep clothes on the simply-cut side. The more detailed, the faster a garment will date. I like to add detail to my outfits with accessories instead, like a print silk scarf, classic jewelry or good leather belt. Also, I prefer more classic patterns than, say, a huge multi-colored tropical print or a Boho floral.
  • Great tips, Kay! I hear you about skinny jeans being out of style this year. However, my long legs are my best feature and in the fall, my signature look is a skinny jean or pant tucked into some elegant riding boots. I top this look with a blazer, poncho or vest and it is my fall uniform. So I'm never giving up my skinny pants for that reason! I agree that they certainly never suited women with a fuller or curvier thigh or hipline, but they work for me.
  • @cyndimanka
    Another thing about looking up styles and outfits is things that people put together that I would’ve never thought went together at all I absolutely love. It’s like where was I at this time
  • The stylish woman knows what colours compliment her the best. I love bright colours on others, but cannot personally wear them as they tend to overwhelm me. I will add a colourful handbag or shoes every now and then to add some interest. Love the content of your videos Kay!
