@@athag1 it's helped tremendously! For starters I have a whole folder of outfits on my phone to choose from on a daily basis. I also find I wear things more often (so say I have a shirt I'm iffy about, and it's hanging there , I test it with all my bottoms, and that way I figure out how I can wear it comfortably, maybe it's a tuck only thing, maybe it's something that only feels good loose on loose, it helps utilize the items I do have !) This also helps me to let go of things too, if I've bought something because I've been influenced, I love it for the sake of branding or color or maybe it's got something lacy that attracts me, but it just doesn't work, the proof is in the photo. And sometimes I end up donating or selling a piece because of it! You should give it a shot!

Oh wonderful! Can you post a tutorial? That is a great way to save money and keep pieces you love ..

I think this is the key to "effortless" style. If you have spent time carefully choosing items that you love, fit you well and reflect your style you might just throw them on in the morning in a tried and tested way. The effort and thought goes into buying and organising in order to make it seem "effortless" when it comes to getting dressed.

Ok. Here come some truly eccentric advice. I have a lot of clothes, and I like it that way. Most are bought second hand, so I do not feel too bad about it. I am also a terrible insomniac. Now I have come up with a variant of «counting sheep» that works great for me. In my mind I mentally pick out one of those miserable «step-daughter» garments that never gets taken out for a spin, and then I try to combine it with whatever I can think of from my closet. I style it with different shoes, accessories, outerwear...whatever. All in my mind, of course! And then I try it out in real life whenever I find time. It does not always work out as imagined, but I do surprisingly often find a solutions for my «step-daughter» garments. And I always fall asleep....eventually! So two birds with one stone!

I loved these tips, I took time for the first time the other evening to style a pair of lilac trousers I bought last year and had never worn because I thought they were only for “smart”. But I went over to my son’s in them and shopping with my hubby and they both commented on how nice and summery I looked.I’m getting better at unusual less boring pairings and dressing things down a bit!

Great video and great insight, thank you. Actually I have come to realize that people who are good at something, and that means anything, including dressing, are good at it because they take the time and make an effort. It is as simple as that. Most things in life are not only about talent but about DOING it, practicing, learning, trying something and then try some more. And that is great. Because it means that being a good dresser is achievable.

I really love the core focus of these tips: how to build contentment with what you already have. This is the focus of all videos on this channel, but for some reason it really came though for me today. It's really easy to become obsessive about all the little "rules" when watching fashion content. It's easy to worry "am I doing this right?" When I give myself TIME to reflect on what I have that I love, it makes it easier to say "no" to a purchase - even one that would fit well into a "curated closet" - because I can say "I already have _______, which I love. I will find ways to wear that item more." When I see great fashion pieces (even on sustainable channels!) it's really easy for me to say "ooo, I want that, I'm going to look for that." Giving myself time to look at my closet, try on an outfit I love, or even write down 5 great outfits I already have curbs that impulse. It's been a journey, because this pandemic has lead me to seek out comfort, which lead to me into compulsive shopping practices, which lead me to have to address those practices. This channel helps me slow down and push back against the impulse!

Hi, your tips remind me of my eldest aunt, passed away 10 years ago at the age of 80, very self-conscious. Every time saisons changed she'd try on her whole wardrobe to see what fitted or not, still stylish etc. Always in her free time trying on her things and creating new outfits so that she would know what to wear, what looked good at any given moment without loosing time.

I first pick the hero piece and build my outfit around that piece so I always have an great outfit to wear. 😊😊

I already have a huge wardrobe, so I’m trying to minimize shopping, which became became an expensive hobby (online shopping) during my 16-month+ isolation/lockdown. One thing I have been doing is rotating pieces “in” that I didn’t wear during that time. It satisfies that desire to have something new, because these items look fresh again, after their long rest in my closet. One thing I’m proud of: I didn’t buy any of that loungewear that brands were offering everywhere, I just wore my perfectly good extant leggings and knit tops, instead. I so wanted some of the matching sets! Compulsive shoppers like me have to start with baby steps, but I’m making progress, and you help a lot! Thanks🙂

Hi, Alyssa. Re wearing things you are on the fence about: last week I put on a blouse I had been thinking of getting rid of and had not worn for almost a year. I love the way it looks but for some reason the particular fabric it's made of ALWAYS makes me sweat, regardless of the ambient temperature. I told myself that maybe I was exaggerating, that it goes with so much of the rest of my wardrobe that I should really give it another chance - but no, 2 hours in I was dripping wet. After this reminder, it went into the "donate" pile. If I hadn't taken the time to re-wear it, it would have continued to clutter my closet indefinitely :(

Ciao Alyssa! I used to put outfits together for my work week on Sundays. Lately, I have just been looking for what's quick on a day to day basis. You're right! I felt so much more put together when I took the time to plan my outfits. Playing dress up is something I never got to do in my childhood. That leads me to think of how much I have let life control what I wear instead of making the time to really look at what I wear and how it can make a huge difference of how my clothes can make me feel more confident and more put together. Merci for this video.

The universe aligns. I was going to record by video every time I do an outfit idea. I've been organizing my closet lately. This is right on time! Pun intended! 😀

Very useful tips! It happens so often that I want to go out the door and want to try something new and I just can't get it right, it takes so long before I'm ready to go out the door, it's sooooo frustrating. Your tip to create those outfits when you have the time and making pictures of it as a sort of reminder and also for checking the photo if it's really a good outfit for me, is the best tip ever.

This is so true. This another great videro. I already do this. So many of my colleagues thought I spent a lot of money on my clothing, but I spent time with my closet. I would plan my weekly school outfits and then finalize them the night before. I planned my outfit, my perfume, makeup, my accessories all the night before. I also tried everything on and can see if I need to mend or clean anything. I am not a morning person, so in the morning I just throw on what I planned and get so many compliments on my style at work.

The pandemic has really made me appreciate time more. I am happy staying at home and doing all the things I do now that previously I was too busy to do! This includes time and attention to my wardrobe. Over the past year, I have really thought about what I want, what I need and did a 'no new' buy challenge to make me really reflect and rediscover. This year I am doing a low buy (mostly thrifting) and I am selling or giving away what I have decided doesn't suit my lifestyle/style anymore. It is so satisfying!!!!! You and your channel are a big part of my journey! THANK YOU xx

I started by taking pictures of myself while shopping so my retail manager friend could help me decide if something looked good on me. I started being able to identify what I thought looked good myself. I love the idea of styling looks from my closet and doing the same.

When I worked in an office environment I had a colleague who arranged all her suits in a row in her closet. She would wear the one in front and then the end of the day place it at the back of rack. She had a very analytical personality and this technique worked for her because she never had to think about what to wear. I always marveled at this because I would choose my clothing for the day depending on what I felt like that day. To me, her technique felt like a straight-jacket but it worked for her.

I did this after reading a tip in a style book by Issac Mizrahi. He suggested taking a front, side, and back photo of each and every outfit combo you have. I did it for my work wardrobe and got my daughter to take the photos. I could see the colors that didn't work, a jacket in an unflattering length, necklines that looked bad, pants that didn't really fit. I also saw pieces that looked great! Then I could figure out what to keep, what to give to Goodwill, and as one of your other videos suggested...what to alter to make it worth keeping! Plus, you then know how to make better purchases to fill the holes from the stuff you let go. I wish I'd done it about a decade before.

I love the idea of taking time to organize your closet and plan your outfits.. I actually took that project on during the COVID lockdown when there was extra time. I would put on an outfit and try things with it. My husband would see me going back and forth between the closet and the mirror and say, "what are you doing?" And I would say, "I'm accessorizing."

Stylebook is amazing! You input your wardrobe into the app then make outfits. I don’t forget cute outfits I’ve made in the past, I can see what I never wear and I can plan outfits for the week or even trips I’ll be going on.

As a painter, I always take a picture of a work in progress. It really helps in evaluating where I am in the process. I didn’t think to do it with clothing! Fast forward to a family photo and I really got to ‘see’ what my outfit was about. Yippers!! Aahahaaa.

Oh my that advice to wear something you are not sure of all day REALLY has helped! Sometimes I will just say, “For whatever reason, I just don’t feel great.” I’m often not sure quite why, but… go with it!

I especially love the two-minute once-over suggestion. Thank you!

I keep a photo file and in addition to giving me outfit ideas on the days I'm stuck, it also helps me see my progress in putting together better outfits that really suit my personal style! Thanks for sharing these insights Alyssa!

I do all those things! Just styled a pair of pants yesterday this way. I love to play dress up in my closet. Nothing worse than trying to put an outfit together at the last minute.

Taking photos daily (or close to it) has been tremendously helpful for discovering what I find myself using over and over on a monthly basis! And looking back on things I’ve tried and realizing that it doesn’t compliment me the way I thought it did, but at least I was trying new things! I love the idea of “making a date” with your closet and really going over your inventory, planning outfits, coming up with creative outfits, and setting aside what you don’t reach for anymore. Scheduling time to reflect is genius!

LOVE this! Thank you Alyssa! Never thought of it like this, and yet, I an see the truth of this principle in my writing and coaching practice. We just give anything we love our time, focus, and attention and we learn to observe with a certain quality of attention and to notice more. Thanks for this reminder! Hope you're staying warm during this cold spell. Big hugs, N🌺

Great tips! My favourites were, testing out an outfit you are unsure of, and those couple of minutes before heading out the door.

Totally agree. It wasn’t until I made the conscious decision to spend time focusing on wardrobe curation did I begin to develop “style.” The thing about time is that it allows for experimentation & mistakes. I started this process back in 2019 and after a lot of trial & error, I’m finally understanding what I truly enjoy wearing & what embodies my most authentic self :)

If it has to be combined with something specific to look good, it’s going back to the store. Pants need to work with different types of shoes etc etc

Tbh, I hate playing dress up at home because I refuse to wear my outside clothes at home. What's helped me is using a closet app and having pictures of (most of) my clothes on my phone, so I can just scroll through the app to think about what I want to wear. That doesn't mean everything I put together will look good because it's not the same as trying stuff on my body, but having outfit ideas in the app gives me a good place to start and it's a good method for a lazy person like me. I also started an Instagram account where I post pictures of every outfit I leave my house in, whether or not I like how it looks, and that for me is just an organizational tool to scroll through to remind me what I like and don't like on me.

Wonderful tips. I usually do outfit ideas a few times a year but this year I did it by season. I use an app to keep track of what I wear and it also helps with unnecessary repeat buying. I haven’t tried to video myself but I think I will give it a go to get the um 😐 backside view. The Italian definitely makes its presence there 🥴 I hopefully was able to get a spot for Saturday.

The last-minute check is great advice. I see lots of fashion YTers who, even knowing they will be on camera, have lint, stains, wrinkles, etc. on the clothes they show! It’s hard to take stylists seriously if they don’t pay attention to their own clothes. Saying “I should have ironed this” doesn’t make it ok. The other day, one even deliberately showed the filthy butt of her white trousers, saying, “yeah, I should probably wash these”, she could just have shown the front. Laziness shows!

Every morning while waking up and drinking my coffee in bed is the usual time I brainstorm and decide what I feel like wearing, what to put together etc. thx for this reminder. Without time to think, nothing creative is ever accomplished

thanks for sharing Ingrid, I agree!

Thank you, this makes so much sense! Today is my birthday and my family bought me your necklace for a present! It's SO pretty and it was fun seeing your name on the pouch it comes in. I hope they used your link! In any case, it's so lovely and was a beautiful gift. 🌷

I love your dresser!!

Thanks for the great tips. I definitely learned something new.

I love trying out "new to me" outfits and making little videos. Then when I share them on my Instagram or wherever I get other's feedback, too, which helps.❤

This was very helpful!

Planning outfits for the week ahead 😍 I will get there at some point...

This was terrific!

Just stumbled upon your video and loved it! I was planning to downsize and overhaul my wardrobe, but now I’m looking to re-assess what I have and see if I can style the items in a fresh new way, thank you! New subscriber here.

thank you! I'm so glad you liked this video! xx

I like to prepare and keep a few outfits in my closet ready to go.

Oh wait, did you cut your hair? I love it! You look so vibrant. Thank you for this video Alyssa. I am learning a lot about how to revamp my personal style without making extra expenses.

This is great advise !

Such great information. I will certainly be incorporating these tips. Baby steps, I'm a baby step type person. If not, I get totally overwhelmed and nothing gets done.🤷‍♀️

amen sister, I think you are on to something. time the needed/missing ingredient of so many things in life. my wardrobe is not my 'job' per se, but it is a hobby, and i do spend time choosing, letting go, buying, maintaining, tracking, mending clothes. it goes in my schedule. if you don't have a *lady's maid* (haha) it has to, eh? (just adding my own Canadian stereotype :)
