Hi everyone, it's Karen from the Georgie Grandma, welcome back to my channel and this is another video in collaboration with the transatlantic househouse of YouTube, who are myself, Busy Beaumaree, Maria Crocker and Tieter
0:30
as Talk Time and this week we have a guest collaborator with us and that is Lynn from the channel
0:37
Nana M who I'm sure a lot of you already know so once you've watched my video if you go and
0:43
cross and watch the other ladies videos that would be great I'll drop the links to their
0:48
channels in the description box below now today's video is following on our four-week new you
0:56
new you reset plan the first week I did no more couch potato. The second week I did wanting to restart be healthy eating
1:06
and exercise plan. And this week is all about a new wardrobe. Well, not new wardrobe. I'm going
1:13
to be doing a shop my wardrobe with a couple of things that I have bought to add to it. Now I've found
1:20
in the last few months, especially as it started to get colder, I'm mainly wearing the same
1:26
things all the time. I'm getting into a little bit of a clothing rut. So what I thought I would do is
1:33
I would have a look through my wardrobe, see what I've got. There was a few things that I needed to buy
1:39
so I bought them and I'll show you what they are. And then I'll show you the clothing outfits that
1:46
I thought might look good. And you can leave a comment in the description box below telling me what
1:52
you think of that outfit because sometimes I don't always get it right but a lot of the time I don't
1:57
always get it right now I'm mainly based at home I work from home I do go once a week to a local
2:05
business networking group I go to the supermarket I go to the metro center which is a local
2:11
shopping center I might occasionally go out for a meal in a restaurant but at the moment I don't do
2:18
a lot more than that so I thought I'd show you the clothes that I'd be
2:22
wearing most of the time and you can see what a rut I've got stuck in. So I've been wearing
2:30
these black Juggins. These were from Marks and Spencer's. They have become a real staple in my
2:39
wardrobe so I've been wearing those a lot. I've been wearing these because I'm just at home
2:46
these really baggy leggings that I've had the look baggy but they're actually quite close fitting
2:52
that I've had for I must have had these about six years these are from I think these were from eBay
3:00
but they're that old they've got a little hole in the knee
3:03
I'm wearing those a lot you can see I don't go out at the house very often
3:07
another pair of Juggins grey ones this time so that's the black ones and the grey ones
3:13
again these are Marks and Spencers Juggins. I love Juggins. I must have about six pairs of them and I seem to spend me life in them
3:22
I've also got a blue pair which I haven't got out of my wardrobe. And the tops that I've mainly
3:27
been wearing is this one that I've got on which is Roll on the weekend which is really comfortable
3:33
to wear. I think this was a two at Sainsbury's top and I've had it quite a few years
3:39
This is another top from Two at Sainsbury's that I've loved. It is like a grey just like
3:45
a casual jumpery thing with a pink star on really comfortable to wear comfortable to wear but it is
3:52
getting quite old now I wear that a lot with the Juggins and the leggings this t-shirt that I got from
3:59
I think this was from fly curvy I absolutely love this t-shirt but I've been living in it
4:05
it's grey with the black sleeves and the grey striping has got a zip down the front again
4:10
comfortable to wear easy to throw on so yeah I've worn that a lot
4:15
And this jumper that I bought from Marks and Spencer, they had it in a few different colours
4:21
but I really like the blue. It's a round neck, it's not long and it's not short
4:25
It's actually not a great length, but it's nice when it's cold
4:30
you just throw that jumper on. So those are the clothes that I have been wearing the most
4:36
and I've really got into a rut. So on a morning, what I would like
4:40
the vision that I would like is, I would like to be able to go to my wardrobe
4:45
on a morning and just pick out something quickly from the wardroom, think
4:50
yes, that's an outfit I can wear. I found that working from home
4:55
if you don get dressed first thing in the morning so see I just throw on a pair of Juggins and one of the you know the baggy T or whatever then if I do have to go out
5:06
I'm having to change my clothes and I'm having to look through my wardrobe or something that I think would be suitable to go out the house in
5:13
I probably would go out the house with the Juggins and the tops on. Maybe I wouldn't go out the house in those leggings
5:18
because they're just for the house. So I would like to be able to go to my wardrobe
5:24
and have maybe five or six outfits in there that I can just pick out and say
5:29
yes, I'll be happy putting there on in the morning and then if I do have to go out anywhere through the day
5:34
that's what I can wear. I'm not going to talk about evening clothes on this video
5:40
because I think that's a whole different video. And I have quite a few things that are a little bit more fancy
5:46
if I want to go to a restaurant or something like that, so I'm not going to talk about those
5:50
So it's probably more of a winter capsule wardrobe than I'm looking at
5:55
I've never really had a capsule wardrobe. I have tried in the past to put one together
6:00
but it never seems to work out for us and I still end up in the same things
6:04
So what I've done is I've picked out a few things in my wardrobe that either haven't wore for ages
6:09
or I haven't worn at all. So I'll show you those, and then I'll show you the couple of things
6:14
where there's actually two, three, four things that I've bought recently that I'll show you as well
6:22
So these are the things that I've picked out of my wardrobe. So this you may have seen on a video I did last year
6:30
that I picked up in a charity shop and it is a jewels like a T-shirty material dress with pockets
6:38
So I've only actually worn this once so I picked that out of my wardrobe
6:42
because I think you could turn that into something you would wear in the winter layered up
6:48
and to wear with leggings. So I picked that out. I also picked these out
6:53
This is a blue turquoise cardigan I bought from Primark last year
6:58
Again, I've only worn it a couple of times and I actually forgot it was in my wardrobe. And this underneath is a blue V-neck t-shirt
7:06
It's got a little pocket on and it does have three-quarter sleeves on it
7:11
I haven't worn that for a long time either. So that's something else I picked out that I thought I could use
7:17
I've also got a pair of black trousers in my wardrobe. These are next trousers
7:23
and I think I bought these when I did some temp work
7:27
it must have been very early last year and I've never worn them since
7:31
and again I forgot I had them because when you do reach for the same things
7:35
you forget what else is in there and I don't have that big a wardrobe but these are just a nice pair of black trousers
7:42
we've got pockets kind of a straight leg maybe I don't even know
7:50
if they're still fittings but I thought I'd get those out and see what we could do with those. I also have the jumpsuit that I got from Roman last
7:57
year that I did wear in the summer because it is, it's got a little cap sleeve on it, but I thought
8:05
you know, actually I could wear this in the winter as well, layered up, you know, with a cardigan
8:11
or something. I think that would be, because it is a really comfortable jumpsuit. It's like a
8:16
t-shirt-y material, it's got an elasticated waist, very comfortable. So I think that's something
8:21
I would be happy to wear around the house and even go out in during the winter
8:26
So I took that out my wardrobe as well. I've also got a better pair of black leggings
8:32
These were from Sainsbury's that are in better condition than the other ones I've been wearing
8:39
Again, forgot the one there. So I got those out my wardrobe. And the other thing that I already had in the wardrobe
8:47
that I got, I think I got this in November and it is from Cotton Traders
8:51
and it is a cream, cable knit, long line cardigan. It is an absolutely beautiful cardigan, and I've never worn it
9:01
Long sleeve, it doesn't fasten, but it is a really, really lovely cardigan
9:08
It's so soft. I haven't even taken the tag off it. So, yeah, I thought I would get that out as well and make use of that
9:16
Now, like I say, I did buy a few new things because I thought there was maybe a couple of things
9:21
I could add to that. And one of the things, because I spent so much time in Juggins, yes, I did find
9:29
the black pants. They're maybe a little bit more dressy. I thought I would buy a straight leg
9:34
pair of jeans, which I'm actually wearing today. And I've got these from Sainsbury's. They're just a
9:41
straight leg gene. They have got a stretch in them. They've got pockets. And these are really
9:46
comfortable. Very comfortable. They're a really nice fit. I like the dark blue so I thought I would buy these and add that to my capsule wardrobe that I trying to put together So we try and make some outfits with the jeans as well
10:07
The other thing I bought is these two T-shirts that came as a set of two from Two at Sainsbury's
10:14
a long sleeve, plain T-shirt with a round neck. Not that keen on the round neck, but I think we can work with it
10:23
And these came in navy and white. and I think they were only £10 for two
10:29
so I thought that was well worth buying just to add to the wardrobe
10:34
to see what I could do with it. So those are the two new t-shirts
10:38
I also thought I could do with another colour cardigan because a lot of my things are quite thin tops
10:45
or short sleeve. So I thought another cardigan would work well maybe not quite as thick as the cable knit one
10:52
So I picked this one up from Marks and Spencer It's just plain black, it's quite a thin knit, it doesn't fasten, it's got a long sleeve
11:04
and it just feels really soft, and it's quite long line. So I thought I would pick that up as well because I think that might work well with some of the things that I've taken out of the wardrobe
11:15
So let's see what outfits I can make up with what I've taken out of my wardrobe and the things I've bought
11:20
So this is the first outfit. I've put the jeans with the navy top
11:26
that has the V-neck and the little pocket on it it does have three quarter length sleeves
11:31
but I usually roll them up and I've just added this tan belt
11:35
I don't normally wear t-shirts tucked in with belts but I saw
11:41
I think it was it's me Marlene she was doing this so I thought I'd try it and actually
11:48
I think that makes me look a little bit thinner I quite like that look
11:54
and I've paired it with I've just got some I don't know if you can see those very well
11:58
I've got some tan boots that I got from Prime Mark a few years ago
12:03
and I thought that made a really nice outfit Now I could wear it with the black cardigan
12:08
If I was just in the house I'd be quite happy to You know work in the house with this on
12:13
I just this black cardigan is so soft I think it works well with that
12:19
It does have pockets I think that looks quite nice. You can see, as Marlene says
12:26
if you put the belt on, you can actually see the waist, which you can
12:30
But I think that looks quite nice. I'm quite happy with that outfit
12:36
If I didn't just want to wear a cardigan to go out with, I do have this blue ribbed
12:43
it's a navy ribbed blazer, and this is from yours clothing. I don't think the shape was especially right for me
12:50
but it's in my wardrobe, and I don't particularly want to buy another jacket. But I think that works quite well with it
12:57
And because my neck's bare, I've got this pink scarf, which also gives it a pop of colour
13:07
Probably wouldn't wear it like that, but you get the idea. And that would be really great to just go out in this cold weather
13:15
I think that looked actually quite stylish for me because I don't normally look stylish
13:20
But yeah, I think that's outfit number one. So for the second outfit, I've left the jeans on and the brown belt
13:28
and I've just added the white T-shirt with the long sleeves that I got from Sainsbury's
13:33
And I've just popped on this turquoise cardigan, and I've just put on a little necklace just to draw a little bit of attention to the neckline
13:44
But I think that looks quite nice as well. I love this turquoise colour. I just think it works really well with my colour
13:50
I can fasten this cardigan if I want to. It does have buttons. But again, a really nice outfit
13:56
just for working at home and if I wanted to go out, I don't have to worry about it. I can just
14:02
go out in this. But yeah, I think that's another really nice outfit. Let us know what you think
14:08
in the comments below. So for the third outfit, I'm going to use the jumpsuit. I've just put
14:13
a little stretchy black belt on with it. This just fastens there. I think I'm going to use the jumpsuit. I've just put a little
14:14
stretchy black belt on with it this just fastened there I think I got these from Amazon
14:22
and they were recommended by Caroline I've dropped the link to the Amazon page below
14:29
this jumps which has pockets I've just put it on with a pair of black
14:34
loafers which I'm not sure it goes with can you let us know in the comments below
14:40
what you think if I was going to go out would I wear it with these black
14:44
or do you think maybe the pair of trainers would be better
14:48
And I thought this would work well with a cardigan. So I'll try it with the black cardigan
14:54
which I think is going to go better than the cream one Yeah I think that looks okay with that That quite comfortable and I would definitely go to the maybe the supermarket in it I don know if I would go to the metal centre in it
15:10
but I'll definitely wear it around the house. I'm not sure if it looks like I've got pyjamas on
15:15
and I don't know if it goes with the black loafers so let us know what you think
15:22
I'm just going to try it on with the cream cardigan and see what it looks like with that. You can see
15:26
I haven't even taken the tag off this one. Yeah, I think it goes quite, I wish this cardigan had pockets
15:34
That's the only thing that's wrong with it. I do think it goes with that as well
15:38
But I think because I've got a cream cardigan on, I think it might look better with my white trainers rather than the black loafers
15:47
So that was outfit number three. Let's have a look at outfit number four. So this is outfit number four
15:53
These are the black dress trousers. that I showed you. I've just put them on with my black ankle boots
16:01
Again, not sure if that's the right shoe to wear with them
16:06
I've put on the tan belt and the navy t-shirt that I got a pair of from Sainsbury's
16:14
And I've just put on a long necklace to kind of break the dark blue up
16:19
And I thought this would go really nicely with the black cardigan
16:23
I think the black trousers would work equally as well with the white top
16:28
And I think I could definitely go to my business networking event in this outfit
16:34
It looks casual but dressy, which is what the networking group is, really
16:39
It's a very casual group. But I could certainly wear this in the house as well just for working
16:44
Just not sure it goes with these boots. It may go better with the tan boots because I think the trousers would fit over the top better
16:54
Right, I think these might go better with the tan. boots what do you think and let us know in the comments below I feel like these
17:01
trousers could be a little bit longer so maybe I'll have to look out for another
17:06
black pair of dressy trousers but other than that I really like the outfit
17:11
and I think it's quite nice so outfit number five let's see what that's going to be
17:17
so this is outfit number five and it is the jewels dress that I got from the
17:22
charity shop just got my little cat necklace on with it and I've got it on with the black leggings
17:27
and I'm going to show you what I've got on my feet that I would wear if I was just in the house
17:35
And these are my cotton traders, slipper buddies. Very comfortable and how stylish does that look
17:42
Obviously, I wouldn't go out in them. But I think this top dress goes really nice with these black leggings
17:49
This is definitely comfortable for wearing it in the house and I will be quite happy to go to the shopping centre
17:55
with this on quite comfortable. I'm just going to put it on with some black boots I've got
18:03
and I want you to tell us what you think of them, whether they go with this dress or not
18:07
Because I've had them in my wardrobe for a few years and I think I've only worn them once
18:12
So these are the black boots. They are from two. They're a black suede boot with a bit of a chunky heel
18:20
and they do have buckles on the side. I'm not sure how, well
18:25
can see that on camera. So I'd like you to let me know if you think these boots go with this outfit
18:33
So if I was going out somewhere, I could put them on. I'll just show you what jacket I would
18:39
wear with it. So I would wear this outfit with my denim jacket, which I wear all the time
18:45
in my pink scarf, just to give it another pop of colour. I'd my handbag and I'm ready to go shopping
18:55
know what you think about that because I'm not entirely sure that works. I like the boots
19:01
I'm just not sure that they go with this outfit. So let us know. So those were the five outfits
19:10
that I picked out of my wardrobe and added those new bits too. I'm quite happy with them
19:19
Hopefully I've got five new outfits I can wear on a regular basis other than my green
19:25
black leggings in those quite old tops that I've been wearing. So remember to go across and watch Maria from at Busy B Marie
