In today's Ten-Item Wardrobe end-of-season recap, I critique my fall/winter wardrobe and share how each item performed. What did I wear the most? What didn't last? What will return for next fall/ winter? These questions are all answered in today's video.



I also show you three new dresses I have purchased so far for spring. They include this Draper James denim chambray dress, this Universal Thread blue and white sundress, and this pretty linen blend puff sleeve white midi dress.

The ten-item wardrobe causes you to get thoughtful and intentional about your wardrobe. You can't help but assess your choices at the end of each season. By doing so, you will come to conclusions about your true style, your favorite brands, or brands and styles you'd like to veer away from in the future.

Today's video is sponsored by LILYSILK which is a marvelous online destination for silk clothing and home goods. This is the silk tee featured in the video and these are the scrunchies. LILYSILK have given us 12%off with code Daily12.

I hope you enjoy today's video.

Comment of the Week
On Instagram, Melissa from lapetitefleurmariale writes, "I just read an article on @verilymag about orthorexia — being so obsessed with “eating clean” that people deprive themselves on calories and nutrients they need. A lot of the health “influencer” accounts on IG promote these things and it can be dangerous. I myself was headed that way after an older friend tried to convince me to give up certain foods that would “make me more sick” but I put a stop to that when it began affecting my health and restricted my already restricted (read: food allergies and intolerances) diet. Thank you for speaking out about this. It’s about being healthy and eating what your body needs rather than being trendy and depriving oneself."


Melissa, I agree that the obsession with eating clean can end up depriving us of necessary nutrients and possibly lead to obsessions with food that are unhealthy. I am glad you are back on the right path! Thank you!

I would love to know how your ten-item wardrobe performed last season. What do you have planned for the upcoming season? Let us know and your comment could be chosen as comment of the week on The Daily Connoisseur.

I love to watch "What I Eat in a Day" videos on YouTube. They give me inspiration for what to feed my family and also help me out when I am in a rut. Lately I've noticed a disturbing trend, however, in the most popular of these videos on YouTube... We are going to analyze this trend in today's video.



The tell-tale sign happens in the thumbnail for most of these videos. The thumbnail is the image that the video creator chooses to showcase their video. Thumbnails are nearly always deliberate. Thumbnails drive views, so video creators are encouraged to come up with a relevant and enticing thumbnail.

In nearly all of the popular "What I Eat in a Day" videos, the thumbnails contain both the food consumed and.... wait for it... a bikini or underwear selfie. Now, this is both perplexing and not perplexing. Obviously this type of thumbnail will get a lot of attention and views and that is why the creators are choosing to promote their video in this way.

But there are also subliminal messages associated with this type of advertisement. Essentially the video creator is saying "you too can look as good as I do in a bikini if you eat what I eat in a day". When you watch these videos often the diets consumed are unrealistic and laden with false health claims. The ideas promoted are strictly to promote being skinny, fit, and healthy. Ironically, many of the diets do not contain the proper elements of a well-balanced diet.

One of the best concepts I learned while living in Paris is to enjoy dining, not mindlessly snack, and to not deprive myself. Of course, many people have dietary restrictions for health reasons, but I am talking about the rule here and not the exception. The trend toward eating only to be skinny and not enjoy the actual meal creates neurosis around food and potentially dangerous eating disorders.

I discuss this in more depth in today's video and I would love to hear your thoughts as well. What do you think?

I hope you enjoy today's video.

I never painted my nails before because I felt like as a mom I just didn’t have time and it wasn’t going to last anyway because I have so much to do (dishessssss). But! After watching your videos I had to just go ahead and try it. I painted my nails a few days ago, did a whole manicure actually and it still looks so nice!! My husband said it’s cute ☺️ thank you for encouraging moms to take the time for themselves in just these small little details 💜

In today's video I'm sharing how I do a DIY freestyle French manicure. I love to do my manicures at home because it saves money. I enjoy practicing different techniques and I have been wearing a French manicure regularly the past few months.



The key with an at-home French manicure is with the steadiness of hand. After applying a base coat, take your white nail color (making sure there isn't too much product on the brush), place the hand you are painting flat and keeping the hand with the polish steady, roll the finger you're painting until you get a smooth line.



This certainly requires practice and patience, but over time it will come easier to you. Also, know that you will make a mess and the polish will end up on your fingers. That's OK, you can remove it with a q-tip and some nail polish after your nails dry.

Once you paint all of your nail tips, you can then add a sheer color and top coat. Use an accelerating drying oil to speed up the dry time.

I use Londontown 9-free nail polish as I find them to be the best and most long lasting polishes I have ever used. Londontown is now sold at Neiman Marcus, which shows what a quality polish it is. My discount code JenniferS gives you 25% off... an amazing discount!

Here are all of the items I used in today's video:



Duchess (white color)
Cheerio (neutral shade)
Gel Genius base coat
Gel Genius top coat
soft touch nail scrub https://shrsl.com/25i77
cuticle oil
accelerating drying oil
glass nail file
Kur 2in1 hand and nail serum
Mirapur Essentail oils

I hope you enjoy today's video, which also shows how the nails hold up one week later.

Have a wonderful weekend and I will see you on Monday!

Giorgio Armani sparks fury with his comments on fashion advertising, a millennial man chooses to wear Victorian clothes every day, and are yoga pants bad for women? Welcome to a new 3 Articles on the Subject of Dress.



In the first article from The Daily Mail, Italian fashion designer, Giorgio Armani, is put on blast for his critique of the fashion industry. Mr. Armani is concerned about the over sexualization of women in fashion advertising. Unfortunately when he made his opinion known, he also made a rather unfortunate analogy.

Our second article is actually a YouTube video featuring Millennial, Michael Koropisz, who chooses to wear Victorian clothing every day. Mr. Koropisz is a portrait artist who leads an unconventional life. I applaud his originality and love that he dresses in a way that he is passionate about.

And the final article is an opinion piece in the New York Times by Honor Jones. Ms. Jones questions why women wear yoga pants to exercise. She doesn't find them particularly warm or comfortable. Is it for self- optimization? To appear sexy? I'm not sure if either of those options are true, but I must admit to being perplexed as to why women wear them so much. Do you have insight into this?

I would love to know your opinions on each of the articles discussed.

What I'm wearing in today's video:
My dress is Draper James Yes, this is new for spring!
My earrings are SKYE Odette 18K gold pearl earrings Jennifer20 for 20% off
Nail polish: Londontown Duchess French manicure JenniferS for 25% off

Here are the time stamps for the video:
Giorgio Armani Sparks Fury 2:05
Millennial wears Victorian Clothes all the time 7:47
Yoga Pants bad for women? 9:30

Comment of the Week
Shannon writes, "I've been following you for a lot of years and enjoying every minute. You said a word in your video that struck a cord. "Transition". From clutter to declutter, from large wardrobe to 10 item, from season to season, it's all a transition and a period of growth. In my mind I heard you have 10 items, some extras and that's it. Only today did I realize that's not it at all. Every season you're moving items in and out. It's not a stagnant wardrobe it's actually ever-changing. Wow. That makes me feel better Here in the South we can have 3 seasons in one week. It may be 40 degrees one day and 70 the next so I may have to play a little in "transition" between seasons with my "capsule." So right now I may have a light winter dress one day and a spring dress with a light colored cardigan the next. It's all good. Thank you. BTW I watched your earliest videos and loved noting the transitions in your life...like facials, eyebrow threading, pedicures, etc. Life is always a lovely transition. Thank you Jennifer."


Thank you, Shannon! Yes, it's a wardrobe that flows and the transitions are key. In today's video I'm wearing a spring item. It's the first one I bought for spring and I'm enjoying the transition. Thank you for watching!

It's that time of year again.... the seasons are about to change. Many women feel bored and dissatisfied with their capsule wardrobes right now. I know I always get antsy at the end of the season and start to feel anxious about switching out my wardrobe for the next one. I'm going to share why boredom with your ten-item wardrobe is actually a good thing.



When our children tell us they are bored, what do we say? Most parents encourage their children to use their imaginations and figure out how to fill their time. It's in these moments of boredom where true growth happens and where character is formed. The same can be said for our ten-item capsule wardrobes.

Make sure you watch today's video to hear another analogy to capsule wardrobe boredom. What do you think? Do you agree that self-discipline with the ten-item wardrobe builds character? Let us know your experience.

Welcome to The Chic Assignment for March!



Chic Assignment no. 1 F. Chopin : Nocturne in c sharp minor for violin and piano_ YuEun Kim, Violin

We are revisiting my favorite composer, Chopin, for this month's musical selection. Check out this stellar performance by violinist, Yueun Kim.




Chic Assignment no. 2 William Butler Yeats



This month on the community tab on YouTube, I let you select the poet and Irish poet, William Butler Yeats, was the most popular choice. We are going to learn more about Yeats in the mid-month check in. You can read The Collected Poems of William Butler Yeats
Or you can check out his body of work at The Poetry Foundation website.

William Butler Yeats
On Woman, 1916

MAY God be praised for woman
That gives up all her mind,
A man may find in no man
A friendship of her kind
That covers all he has brought
As with her flesh and bone,
Nor quarrels with a thought
Because it is not her own.
Though pedantry denies,
It's plain the Bible means
That Solomon grew wise
While talking with his queens.
Yet never could, although
They say he counted grass,
Count all the praises due
When Sheba was his lass,
When she the iron wrought, or
When from the smithy fire
It shuddered in the water:
Harshness of their desire
That made them stretch and yawn,
pleasure that comes with sleep,
Shudder that made them one.
What else He give or keep
God grant me -- no, not here,
For I am not so bold
To hope a thing so dear
Now I am growing old,
But when, if the tale's true,
The Pestle of the moon
That pounds up all anew
Brings me to birth again --
To find what once I had
And know what once I have known,
Until I am driven mad,
Sleep driven from my bed.
By tenderness and care.
pity, an aching head,
Gnashing of teeth, despair;
And all because of some one
perverse creature of chance,
And live like Solomon
That Sheba led a dance.

Chic Assignment no. 3 We are going to focus on enjoying our meals this month, whatever they may be. I'll delve into this topic more as the month goes on, but in the meantime, remain present and focus on the joy of eating when you sit down to a meal.

Chic Assignment no. 4 - Let us transition our wardrobes for the change in season. It's time to keep an eye out for seasonal changes we'd like to make and assess our wardrobe from the past season. What worked and what didn't? I have a ten-item wardrobe video coming up for you tomorrow on the channel.

The music in today's video is copyright free music from MuseOpen Chopin Nocturne in C sharp minor performed by Chris Overholser.

The 5th biggest enemy to homemakers… what do you think it could be? Let’s explore in today’s video.

Welcome back to The Daily Connoisseur. The world of homemaking is deep, complex, and fraught with enemies. In the previous episodes of this series, we have examined the various enemies to homemakers. When we identify these enemies, we are able to isolate them and not let them take over our homemaking, which is a powerful tool, indeed.





Today, I’m going to share with you the 5th biggest enemy to homemakers. Are you ready?



Double-mindedness.

Yes, double-mindedness. What does it mean to be double-minded? Well, here’s the dictionary definition: ADJ. wavering in mind : UNDECIDED, VACILLATING.

Here’s how I see double-mindedness… your heart’s not in it. You’d rather be doing something else. Even if you’re slightly enjoying what you’re doing, there’s still something in the back of your mind wondering, “What if? Could I be having more fun doing… xyz?"

Double-mindedness.

Let’s see how that affects us as homemakers. We inevitably have a list of tasks to do each day. Sometimes this list is dreadfully long, sometimes it’s delightfully short. We have to start somewhere, so we choose where to begin and commence our work. The minute we start, we begin to question our choice. Is this really the best way I could be spending my time? We have the urge to do something else… either another task on the list, or scrap it all together and go have fun doing something else: online shopping, watching television, revising that draft for work, going to work out, everything else suddenly seems more appealing.

Double-mindedness. We are undecided. We vacillate. We do not rest easy in our choice and, thus, we leave half-finished projects all over the house. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to commit to a task from start to finish? Think of the time wasted and the mental exhaustion from being double-minded about our housework?

So my fellow homemakers, eliminate this fifth enemy to homemaking, double-mindedness, by resting confident in your choice and decisions. After all, there is a season for everything. Rest and refreshment are just around the corner. And, oh, it is so much more satisfying after completely a task well done.

Also, if you're curious, I was putting taco meat in the slow cooker for tacos. This is one of my favorite freezer meal hacks. I make a large batch and freeze it off in portions. I can then make tacos or taco salads whenever I like.

Thank you for joining me for today's video.

Comment of the Week
Laura writes, "Thank you or this interesting topic. I had to think where I spend the majority of our money and I've come up with food and furniture.

Like you, we rarely eat out. I cook all meals at home but I always buy organic produce (local if I can) and locally raised grass fed meats, locally made sausages and local eggs, organic dairy and locally roasted coffee etc. It is significantly more expensive but it is something I really believe in and I truly believe there is no comparison in the quality and taste.

Our other splurge is furniture. We will buy high quality furniture that will last. Case in point, my brother and I bought houses the same year. In 15 years, he went through 3 inexpensive couches and we bought and still have our high quality couch. We recently moved and that 15 year old couch is now in the office and looks fabulous."

I agree, Laura! And I love your point about furniture... it really does save in the long run to buy quality there.

Thank you for watching. I would love to know what you think about the fifth biggest enemy to homemakers. Do you struggle with double-mindedness with your homemaking? Let us know and your comment could be chosen as comment of the week on the blog.
