Love the final tip about practicality. I'm a gardener and people sometimes comment about how stylish I look gardening... it's because when I started doing it professionally I decided to invest in cute, sturdy clothes that I liked wearing rather than just tossing on old, worn-out, or ill-fitting clothes that I didn't mind getting dirty. Intentionality is so important

Finding cute but sturdy is so hard! I'm working in a kindergarten and after trying wearing cute things and regret it (like having 2 pairs of cute linen trousers ripped, nice tops stained by markers or tomato sauce or nice shoes that got ruined by removing them a few times a day or sitting in weird positions that hurt their structure) I unfortunately had to dismiss this idea and going mainly with t shirts and sturdy (and hot in the summer) jeans. There are a lot of more important reasons why I'm moving for another job soon, but being able to wear my style is a reason, too.

A few years ago I started changing my approach from having a few very nice pieces I wore rarely to spending more on my most worn practical items, including the clothes I wear at home. It makes such a difference to how I feel, wearing something that makes me feel cute and good even if I am just doing chores.

​@@shachardl5360I love hiking pants and fatigue pants for that. I work as an environmental tech and I want to look great at the office. But I could get last minute fieldwork and wear those sorts bottoms so I just need to throw on my steel toes and head to my site

Honestly Do you have any brand recommendations? I work outside a lot for my job and I definitely just throw on some ill fitting things. I dont know how to be cute, professional, and able to get sweaty outside

I always heard that glossy, healthy hair, clean manicured nails , large flattering sunglasses, and simple earrings can pull any outfit together - but perhaps you would say these would all bring a perfect outfit to the next level! :)

hair plays huge role. Visually it takes a lot of space so it needs to be in a good shape. For myself I know that if its bit dirty, the sleek look still doesn't work just because I know I need to wash my hair and feel very uncomfortable having it dirty in public

Video request! I’ve been thinking about how the designs at different brands cater more to certain kibbe body types, like Free People for natural and Mango for classic. I’d love your take on different brands and who their designs cater towards - it might help us with where to shop 😊

Hell yeah. For Soft Gamines Draper James is a beautiful choice.

If you want quality clothes at a cheap price, go thrifting. The fact that clothes last long enough to be second-hand usually means that they are good quality.

If you're straight sized, yes. For us mid-sized and plus sized gals, thrifting isn't practical 😭

I’d say confidence is the biggest part of it. If you wear something with confidence and walk like a queen, you can pull off pretty much whatever. That’s my test especially when thrifting, can I walk around in it and not feel bad. A lot of times my MIL (my thrifting partner in crime) says that at first she thought that this thing or that was weird when I bought it but when I wear it next, it looks actually good. Well, I am someone who once wore a Lord of the Rings inspired Elvish dress to my microbiology exam in uni, so yeah…

Girl, this video was incredibly polished. Your background, lighting, all the styling, everything was incredible. Even your hair had something a little more today. Really inspiring aesthetically. And I'm really loving the cohesion in the limited color palette of your wardrobe. Good work!!

You’re the best fashion influencer on this platform (and trust me I’ve watched a lot of videos). You are entertaining and stylish, you come across as sweet and likable, and for someone that has never studied fashion, you have a good eye for it. While I have nothing against people that always wear neutral colors, it can be boring and also, mixing colors requires more work and precision. It’s really inspiring for someone like me (a SSu that can’t pull off black and white very well).

Love what your wearing in the videos shown. You don't see pastel or floral, or fun stripes depicted much. Black, white and other solid colors can be so boring. You have a wonderful and specific sense of style. You don't dress like a influencer clone who all wear the exact same style we have seen repeated and over. This one video has give me so many ideas. Thanks.

I’m so glad that your more about personal style and not trends. 😊 I love your style roots. It’s helped me with what I’m drawn to and what I really want to wear.

On #8 cohesion, i like the tik tok 'trend' of 2 +2. It started as 2 casual pieces + 2 dressier pieces to give the balance of 'efortless but put together' but it works with style roots etc too

The pink blush crop jacket outfit and blue jeans is a dream. It looks so good on u.

wow i don't think i ever realized that people associated "timeless" style with 1950s trends! funny to think how the span of time from then until now is only a very small part of fashion history... maybe the same thing happened with neoclassical and renaissance clothing associating timelessness with antiquity?

Every outfit in this video is so affective on you. Even the navy blue button down has an "affect" to it because you know yourself so well. Its crazy impressive

Quality is of course harder when you can't spend a lot, but it isn't always impossible. Some fast fashion brands put out cotton or linen blends at decent prices if you wait for a sale, and it's often possible to thrift wool and wool blends. I end up spending similar money, but stuff is lasting longer. I've had the best luck with good fabrics going on sale at uniqlo and target, and online thrift is becoming a little more accessible, less all designer all the time. I also just decided I was okay with having less clothes though, which obviously made it more affordable. And I don't mind washing nicer things by hand once I 'invest', which is easier with a smaller wardrobe.

Ellie-Jean, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your channel, I keep re-watching your videos and they are just getting better and better and better ❤

Quality doesn’t need to be expensive. It is about being selective and paying attention to how a garment is made. Also in combination with the other tips about being intentional when buying something, focusing on quality and how much use one will get from the item, versus buying regularly things that will not last (either because they no longer look good or we do not actually love them) is the way to go. By buying less but buying smarter one doesn’t need to spend more.

I don't personally see timelessness as a put of this time. But more so, something that when mixed with this time, won't seam out of place. Like a dress I could wear with a bright sweatshirt and tennis shoes, and look like I belong in the 90's, or wear a monochrome look with a knit over it with some sandals and layered jewelry, and totally fit in 2020's.

I have one of these dresses. I can wear it with SO MANY things and it won't look out of place. Its classy when I want to and casual when I feel like it. It looks great now, it looked great when my mom wore it, and it will look amazing when my niece will wear it (given that it lasts that long, I wear it all the time). For me this is timeless. I wouldn't want all of my clothes to be like that, that would be boring. But somethings that I can update with accessories and layers.

Woah, just wow!! This is brilliant!! This is amazing advice on how to find my unique style. Perfectly delivered, thank you ❤

A good way of maintaining quality without going bankrupt is taking good care of your clothing. Simply following the washing instructions (hand washing, laying flat to dry, etc) for the clothing you really care about preserving makes a difference. I have pieces of clothing I bought years ago that probably aren't considered the best quality fabrics but have lasted because of this. Also I rinse stains that have the potential of lasting as soon as possible, even if it means I'm going to be walking around with a big wet circle on my clothes because it sucks when your favorite shirt is always just a little yellow in a certain spot because you let curry sit.

This was such a great video! So much to think about!

Great topic with a lot to think about

Love, love, love! Also, as a side note: Have you considered including the brand and colors of your makeup in the comments section of your videos? I bet people with the same coloring would love it! (Summer's unite!)

You touch on it briefly but tailoring goes so so far for style. Celebrities look good even in very casual clothes because their clothes are tailored to fit them exactly. When making a wardrobe budget you should take tailoring into account if you don't know how to do it yourself.

Just discovered that an off-center belt bag is basically perfectly suited to my lifestyle over all my other bags, which means I've basically got the perfect signature piece already built in. I just need to get a couple more to cover more of my wardrobe's color scheme (soft autumn with a particular focus on rose and tan/brown colors, as well as some desaturated greens, mostly)

Thank you for helping me become my version of an IT girl! Never felt so comfortable and good about myself.

Can u do a vd on finding the right accessories for an outfit?

Love the shout out for Andrea Cheong! She's changed the way I shop, whether on the high street or thrifting.

This is super random but I was wondering if you would know what Erykah Badu essence is ? >:o

Hi, I love your channel so much, your videos are really helpfull

Hi, Ellie. I was wondering if you could make a short/video/community post on Alexa Demie or Kali Uchis. I really adore both of their styles. I’m not sure what Alexa’s kibbe is, though I’ve heard theatrical romantic and soft gamine, but she is THE it girl for me, and I was wondering why her outfits work so well for her.

Do you have a video about the different haircuts/styles that work with the different Kibbe types?

Can you list wardrobe foundations? Would those foundations differ for each body type?

What are some of your favorite brands to shop for girly, feminine pieces?

how do you manage to make the best videos?

Question. If you're a spring, how do you wear your colors in winter? I love coral but how can I carry that into darker cooler seasons? Should I focus on like greige and a flattering navy?
