Let me help you fall in love with your wardrobe 💕

Hey! I'm Emily, I'm a mother and a homebody. I share my own personal style experiences, to help women elevate their own personal style, all with a slow fashion mindset.

Although I've been a long-standing KZread member, I officially started posting on this channel in May 2019. I was a fast fashion addict back then, and after watching The True Cost documentary, I was quickly converted to a slow fashion lover.

I release new videos every 2 weeks.

A little bit about me...
🌼 I love self-development
🌼 I love getting up before everyone in the house (often at 5am!)
🌼 I love my cat Fanta (you might see him in videos)
🌼 I have a beautiful son called Nate
🌼 I had PPD after the birth of my son
🌼 I practice mindfulness and yoga often!

Thank you for your support, I am forever grateful 🌼🙏

    All summer I tend to live in tunic dresses that hit somewhere between mid thigh and just above my knee. I've never really understood why I felt like they were so flattering, but it's totally a rule of thirds! I'm quite long of rib and my natural waist is pretty low on my frame, so I've never gotten the other way to work outside of something like an empire waist maxi dress. Thanks for the "aha" moment!

    I’ve just discovered your channel and am loving it. I moved from London to Melbourne in my early/mid 20s and then from Melbourne to country Victoria in my late 20s. That last move is where I noticed the biggest shift in dressing. I had to tone down my ‘dressiness’ quite a bit because Country Vic is just so casual and not necessarily in a stylish way. I didn’t want to stand out like a sore thumb but I also didn’t want to loose my excitement in getting dressed and feeling good in my clothes. I’m still working on it and try to have pieces that can be dressed up and down using accessories/shoes etc.

    Question, for Emily or someone ahead of me on this journey: if I know I’m a rectangle and I don’t have any idea my vertical proportions (I think balanced?) how should I educate myself on what to wear without losing myself on a KZread side quest??

    I bought a Barbour coat as a fashion item. Barbour was a company that made rain gear for military as well as workmen at sea and on land more than 100 years ago. There were work gear people could afford at that time. Come the '80s they become a fashion brand with high price tag to match by advertising it as part of an English country lifestyle fantasy complete with photos of clean people gently walking in an open field. However, who takes a $500 coat to get ripped by thorns, scorched by campfire, and bloodied by hunted deer? Before you buy anything, be true to yourself and know if you are buying for an actual need or for an image.

    Natural&/comfortable Sophisticated & Asymmetric Harmonious And somewhere just a slight sprinkle of edgy/quirky I have a bit of a problem with my "three" words... Yesterday, when I styled an outfit and it sort of didn't work, I realized it was because it was too many masculine elements and I didn't feel feminine enough. And then when I looked back on my saved selfmade outfit formulas on canva I realized femininity is super important to me. So now I am thinking about if I should add femininity or if that goes under the "harmonious" category 😅 If I had to cut it down though, I think it would be natural, sophisticated and harmonious. But like, when I do that, I def feel like the three words don't represent my edgy and asymmetric style elements and like the femininity part is underexpressed. Not to mention that comfort is very important to idk if that goes under natural or harmonious or if that should be it's own word Like I know I don't have to take it superrrrr serious but still, I do 😂 so many says it is much easier to only have 3 words but for me it just makes it even more confusing 😖

    OMG we chose the exact same words! 🤪 Just kidding. 😂 Only one...”feminine”. At this time it’s comfortable, chic, feminine, playful and slightly retro. So how much time does it take to build up this carefully curated Pinterest page (incl updating/editing)? 😄

  • @EmilyElizabethMay
    @EmilyElizabethMay2 күн бұрын

    Hahaha 😆😆🫶 love the playful and slightly retro, that’s a fun combination with the other words. Honestly, wjth the Pinterest page you could do it in an hour or take your time and do it over a week. You don’t need to have hundreds of photos or anything. You just want to step back from the board, look at it from afar, and think “yes, this is a good representation of what I’d like my style to look like”. And then you can always come back and re-visit it at anytime. But it’s just an exercise to get ideas flowing. Dont worry about it being perfect. Xoxo

    good video. my issue is i keep gaining weight and therefore went into a FREEZE state at some point where i refused to buy new clothes because i wanted to buy 'nicer' clothes after losing weight, which was NOT HAPPENING. i looked like a bum ALL THE TIME because there was no coherence between my tops or bottoms.. and then like you said 'it just clicked one day'.. i had some pants that i had bought in bulk from poshmark, and they would fit CURRENT ME, and i went out and bought some tops to match them or even paired together some FEW from closet.. and slowly it's starting to click MORE AND MORE... ive always been in this curation journey through videos like yours for several years.. it is definitely a long process..

    I just found your channel and this could not come at a better time. I am in the process of revamping my style/wardrobe. I recently moved to a new city with higher fashion standards than where I lived my whole life and I've finally accepted my body size, so I'm starting to buy clothes that fit the body I have. Between the two, it's presented an opportunity to redefine and hone in on my style.
