2. I love the black with a pattern and the white T on you too.

3. My favorite for you is the blue patterned one. Love the lace one!

4. I don't really understant what is the issue with wearing several times the same outfit.
   I may notice that your outfit is nice and if it is the same next week and the other one, it will stil be nice.
   I don't think people really will juge us about that, maybe we don't want to wear the same outfit because we like more variety, but the people surrounding us won't probably notice or care.
   When I have a new dress and I'm exited about, I put it all teh time, and I'm happy, and when I'm happy, I guess I look pretty ????

5. You look really nice in the white and black tops… l think your style is very much organic modern, it suites you really well that style, and the fact you keep going back to black white your colour palate in your house is organic modern too with a pop of blue.

6. People won’t remember what you wore, or how often. If you feel good in them and they light you up, they will remember that you always look good.

7. The coral floral top lights up your face, I think

8. I think the plain white top is the most flattering on you of all! Definitely keep that in your wardrobe! I'm at the kid handprint stage of life so I won't be wearing plain white for a while ????

9. No one notices how often you wear something, but they notice if it looks good on you or if its your favourite

10. The blue fits your eyes☀️ velvet hangers help staying on????

11. You are spot on with your liking of the soft jewellery colours, Dawn. Your light brown hair, blue eyes and pale skin are your guide.
    First thing the colour lady said to me: whit and black are at the two ends of the colour spectrum. You fall mid spectrum I think so that's why you have doubts about bright white top.
    Every colour type has "neutrals" that suit them. Your version of white would be ivory or cream.
    You are spot on also about the length aspect of the tee shirt. Long and wide clothes swamp a shorter person (me too).
    I am a real fan of "minimalising" (my word ????). As part of that knowing your colour, shape and style really help reduce one's wardrobe.
    Love your vids. XxG

12. Hey Dawn, nice buy!!! All tops look good on you and you don’t need to tuck it, the length is just fine????????????????????????

13. Check out Dressing your Truth, I kinda have a feeling you will like it. It really helped me to keep only the garments I feel great in! ????
    (Ps your energy is your most beautiful cloak you can wear ???? and you wear it beautifully )

14. My daily uniform is t-shirt and jeans. And I have 2 dresses that I wear when I go out for lunch with friends at restaurants. I just tell my friends that I'm comfortable having 2 dresses and they will see me in these 2 dresses everytime we meet and nobody even batted an eyelid. ????

15. Get Tom to put a few drops of silicon on your hangers to stop things falling off.

18. Dawn, consider this, because you bought these tops at a discount at Marshall's, you can use some of that savings to get them tailored to fit perfectly. One of the most underused resources for a minimalist, sustainable wardrobe / lifestyle is going to a tailor to alter, or take it in or let it out when weight goes up or down rather than running out to buy something new. Most people can't just buy everything off the rack and have it fit perfectly… Either they are short or tall or have a silhouette that is difficult to dress or long arms or broad shoulders. Unfortunately, most people either wear stuff that doesn't fit well anyway or just put it back and feel like they can never find clothes. Tailoring is magic and not very expensive, especially if you are already shopping at a discount store or thrifting or just shopping the sales.

19. Dawn – first of all, please invest in some felt hangers for your tops – NOTHING will slip off them! And they will save you tons of space in your closet! Save the clunky wooden ones for heavier items like coats!! AND those tops are definitely NOT too long on you! They look great – especially the blue & white one. ????‍♀️????????‼️

20. Keep the blue one! The white one doesn’t work. The others are great.

21. Thank you, Dawn for your channel, your advice about minimalism, productivity, and your love for God! I’ve learned so much. You look great in all your outfits. May I suggest that you add a pair of white jeans or slacks to your wardrobe? Pair it with all your existing tops for a dressier look or for church. Even the white top that you are unsure about will look fabulous with white jeans, a tan colored belt, and your new tan sandals. Thanks again for your videos. God bless!

22. Your new tops are lovely, Dawn, such pretty colours on you ???? I must admit I'm still team black, though lol. Like you said, it's so easy to wear! If you feel the top are too long you, could just sew a running thread up the bottom side seam for about 4" and gather them up slightly (easily done by hand) it will lift them a little shorter without changing the hemline shape. For straight tops (if you don't have a machine or don't sew), you can use fabric tape that you iron on, and it sticks the hem. It's very quick to do and can be removed easily. I've had the same problem with tops just not being a flattering length, and I'm 5'8"! BTW love the sandals too but I did laugh as I'm so mean that I baulked at paying €37 for saddles for work, and I'm on my feet all day! I think I need to change my priorities ????

23. I really love the coral floral one, and you also had matching finger nails color. It's so pretty on you. The blue one is nice too, but I could tell by your video that you weren't loving it as much as the other new tops you bought for your today's body. You are always amazing.

24. The tops are cute on you. It doesn’t mean you have to abandon your uniform, but it’s summer so it’s a good time to mix it up a little. ????

25. As a fellow shorty, head to a place that does alterations and get the knits hemmed properly. I have even done this with leggings, makes all the difference in the world and makes you turn those 'maybe' items in 'YES!'

26. Love the blue shirt. So flattering!

27. If it’s not a big yes, then it’s a no???????????? i believe you are a spring color type☺️

28. Sometimes if I feel a shirt is too long I'll twist an area at the waist from the inside and secure with a little elastic band. I don't tend to wash every wear since I always have a cami under, so I get a couple wears with little hassle. Plus, I can control the length for say, jeans, vs a long skirt ????
