Hi guys, welcome back to my channel. In today's video I'm going to be sharing with you my
top 10 most worn items of clothing in my wardrobe. And this is a video I've wanted to make for
so very long, but whenever it comes to fashion, I get really nervous for some reason, and
I decide not to make it. But if you like this type of content, definitely give this video
a big like, and then I'll know to make more like this. And it was actually really difficult
to narrow it down to just 10 things. So I have a lot of other clothes that I could also
show you that I love, and that I wear all the time.
And this video is also a collab with my lovely friend Lucy Jessica Carter. She has an amazing
YouTube channel, and she's also sharing her top 10 most worn items of clothing. So once
you've watched this video through, definitely go and check her out as well for more ideas
and fashion tips, she's amazing. She's a mom of four, but she always looks stylish and
flawless. She has two boys and two little baby girl twins, and I just love watching
them grow up. She does day in the lives cleaning, fashion holes, and so much more. So, I will
put her link in the description down below.
I also think that this video will be good if you have a similar body shape to me. I
feel like I finally know what styles suits my body shape. To flatter it, I would say
I've got an hourglass body shape or a pear shape, and although I'm quite small, I'm only
five foot three, I'm very curvy and I always have had big chest, big hips. Also, in the
past 10 years my body has yoyod up and down because I've been pregnant three times, and
a lot of the clothes I'm going to show you have lasted the test of time, whether I've
been a size 14, or I've been a size eight, these styles have suited those sizes.
So, I'm going to start out with jeans, because I feel like that is like a good base for any
wardrobe. And they are one type of jean that I have bought probably 10 to 15 times. I just
keep repurchasing the Joni jeans from Topshop. So I just love these because they're like
a thick legging, a denim thick legging. They're really stretchy, they're also very high wasted,
they go right up so they cover any mum tu that you may have. And they're just really,
really comfortable, you can wear them with jumpers, with t-shirts. I've had them in every
color. I have them in black, maroon, white, I have them in a coated leather, and they're
just so comfortable. So, I would really recommend the Joni Topshop jeans.
The next item that I wanted to show you is probably the most important piece of clothing
in any mom's wardrobe, and it is, the black legging. But I don't buy any other leggings,
these ones are my favorites. They are the Fabletics power hold leggings. So not the
normal Fabletics ones, it has to be the power hold ones. Obviously these are actually for
working out, but because the seams are normal seams, I wear them just around the house with
t-shirts, I wear them under dresses. I have four pairs of these and I have worn them so
much. I've actually had to throw out some that have really ripped at the seams, so I
love them because they're really high-waisted, they pull in my tummy, they pull in my hips,
they pull in my thighs, they're called power hold, and they hold you in.
Somehow, these give me a thigh gap, and I'm telling you, I do not have a thigh gap, so
I love them. The only downside is that when you go to the toilet they are that little
bit harder to pull down, because they really do hold you in. But they're super comfortable,
I wear them all the time and I just love them.
Next up, I wanted to show you my favorite piece of swimwear. This is a high neck swimsuit
from Next, and it is four years old. I actually bought it because it had a zip down the front,
and when I bought this I had a four month old baby and I was breastfeeding, and we were
going on holiday, and I just knew I was going to have to breastfeed by the pool, so I was
trying to find something that would have easy access to that. And I ended up buying this,
but I still wear it, every time we go away, or anytime we go swimming, it's the first
thing that I reach for.
It's really, really comfortable. It has really good support in the front as well, especially
if you're a bigger girl, it really is supportive and it gives you a nice shape. It also has
a really open back on it, which is quite flattering, and I feel really confident in it. And having
a high neck swimsuit is so good for moms because of water slides. Whenever we go on holiday,
the kids always want to go to the water park, and again, if you're bigger in that area,
you really don't want anything to be going anywhere. So I love this swimsuit. This is
obviously four years old, but Next tends to always have really nice high neck swimsuits.
I bought a new one last year, and I got it in orange, but they had it in pink and black
as well. And again, I just liked how high it was and feel really secure in it.
Next up, I wanted to show you my favorite style of dresses. If you've followed my channel
for a while, you've probably noticed that I love to wear dresses, and I normally go
for this skater style. So this is probably my favorite one. This is a pink tie dye skater
dress, I got it on Asos, which is where I actually get most of my skater dresses. And
I actually tend to just go on there and search, skater dress, because I like that it goes
in just under your chest and then it goes out again covering your hips, or if you're
having a big meal or something, I think it's really flattering and also these can grow
with you if you're pregnant, which is probably why I have so many of them. I've got them
in sweatshirt material, I've got some really nice ones from Zara. I literally have them
in every single color, because I think they're really flattering and I just love to wear
them with leggings or without in the summer.
I also wanted to show you a pair of trainers, and these are probably my most worn trainers.
This is actually the second pair of them that I've had. They're just classic vans, and they're
nothing special, but I tend to reach for them all the time. They look good with jeans, they
look good with leggings, they look good with a little dress, and they're just super comfortable.
All of my boys have them as well, so you can get matching for the family. Matt's got them
as well. We don't wear them all at the same time, but they're really reasonable in price,
and they're just classic, and because I bought them twice I thought I would show them to
you. Probably should have watched them before I showed them, but you can tell they're worn.
Next up, I wanted to show you a style of dress that I really love. This is a middy length
t-dress. It's sheer and I bought it on Asos a few years ago, and I've worn it so many
times. It comes with this little black slip dress to wear underneath it, but I love the
shape of it, I feel like it fits me really well.
And if I ever have an event or a important meeting in London, I tend to wear this, and
actually wear it so much that Lucy, who I'm collabing with, she actually said to me, I
did an event once, "Oh Emily, you're wearing your London dress," because it's literally
the dress I wear into London. And I like to wear it with little ankle boots. It's really,
really comfortable and I like the detail on the front, and also on the arms, and I have
bought another two dresses like this in the middy length. Got them all on Asos, and I
feel like the middy length really suits me because I am quite short. A lot of maxi dresses
that I buy are far too long on me. So, I really, really like it.
Next up, I'm going to show you my favorite t-shirt or vest top. It's tie dye again, but
more than that I wanted to show you that it is the drop arm hole style. I really liked
that. I've also got two dresses with a drop arm hole, and I wear them whenever I'm on
holiday, because I think they look really good when you've got a little strappy bikini
on, you're completely covered, it's high neck and everything, but then you can just see
a tiny bit of skin. I think it's really flattering, and I like to wear this with a bandeau top
underneath it or a black vest, looks good with leggings, looks good with jeans, I've
had it for years and I just love it.
I also feel like it's the right colors for me. I actually had my colors done a few years
ago now. And basically when you have your colors done, you get given a little swatch
of all of the colors that suit your skin tone. And I tend to use this like if I'm buying
like jumpers, like I should really go for greens and blues and pinks and things like
that. And I feel like this has a lot of the colors that I'm supposed to be wearing in
it. And I just love it, super comfortable.
Next up, I wanted to show you my most worn handbag ever. I feel silly showing you a handbag
when we're in the middle of quarantine, and we're not really going out anywhere. But I
have worn this nonstop for the past few years and I just love it. It's a Louis Vuitton,
never full. I went for the cheque and the red inside. So I really, especially like it
in winter because I feel like that's a really nice color with everything that I'm wearing.
But it's absolutely huge. You can see it next to my buddy here.
But as a mom of three, it holds everything. It's always our hand luggage when we go on
the plane, I could fit so much stuff in this, and I just use it all of the time. You can
chuck umbrellas in there, you can chuck laptops, anything will fit into this bag. And yeah,
it's really, really hard wearing, because it still looks good as new.
And next up, I wanted to show you my absolute favorite boots to wear. These are my Grenson
boots. These are expensive, they were like 200 pounds, I think, but they are so hard-wearing,
I've worn them nonstop and they're super comfortable, really, really chunky. And they're probably
the shoes that I get the most comments on, if they ever feature my Instagram stories
or out and about, people ask me where these boots are from, and I know I'm going to get
a lot of wear out of them for years to come. So I really, really love them, they're very
much like a hiker boot look. But that was really in this here. So, I love them.
And I also wanted to show you a slightly more fancy dress style. This is a wrap dress from
Ganni. And I actually bought this because I was invited to speak at an event and I was
really nervous, and I wanted to have a killer dress to wear. So Ganni is not cheap, it is
a designer name. Wrap dresses really suit my figure, just brings the eye to where the
tie is done up, which is on your waist, which is the smallest part of my body. So it brings
the focus to your waist, and then your hips and your chest. It looks nice. So, anyway,
this is it. And this one as well has got quite a fancy bottom, it goes out and it's got a
bit of a tail on it as well, and I just really love it.
And the last item of clothing that I wanted to show you is actually quite a new one. So
this may still be in the shops. It's from somewhere called American Vintage. Basically
I worked with a brand on Instagram called Stitch Fix, and they have stylists that send
you clothes that suit your body, and your colors, and all those things. And this was
in the first box that I got, and I just love it, I can't stop wearing it.
It's very, very soft, which I know you guys can't feel it, but hopefully you can see how
soft it is. It does say, hand wash only on it, but I have actually washed it on delicate
and it's fine. So, super soft, really comfortable has a wide neck so I tend to wear it off one
shoulder, which I think is really flattering because this kind of deck cliche area is a
nice part to show off. So I really like the color, I really like how comfort is, and even
though it's quite warm here in the UK, I've been wearing it so much, because that's how
much I love it.
But anyway, I really hope you enjoyed this video, and if you do want to see more videos
like this, let me know in the comments. I haven't even touched on jewelry. I have so
many more shoes that I could show you, and dresses, and things like that. So let me know
what you think and don't forget to go and check out Lucy's video as well for even more
ideas, and I'll see you in my next one. Bye guys.
