It’s interesting to see how fashion itself has developed. I feel like 2010s were a time for minimalism and sameness, like, there wasn’t as much of an appreciation for aesthetic diversity, everything was just sort of the same. Nowadays, I feel like aesthetic diversity is much more appreciated and encouraged.
Honestly, I think it's because internet communities are much more normalised now than before. So we have more inspo, but also since we are all looking at it and more people are taking part it's like you won't feel as much like an odd one out, plus I think when it comes to fast fashion, stores know how to stock better. When I was growing up and becoming more curious about my style, most stuff would be for adults (yk, like mature), now you walk in and there's a handful of stuff you see booming among fashion youtubers or tiktokers. There's also more awareness on second hand shopping, and I think more second hand stores are trying to curate a range that appeal to young people's trends. It's great in a lot of ways :) the terminology/style gatekeeping hasn't left tho, and ofc we should be careful about fast fashion.
@@penelopepegg7834 yes, and microtrends are also a thing to look out for. It's almost like the two extremes are there, the invisibility of trends due to an encouragement of aesthetic diversity, and at the same time, a fast-paced exchange of microtrends that explode in impulsive purchases that later go to waste.
okay, so basically you've always been stylish, a fashion queen
I've been watching so many "how to develop your own style" videos lately and I really needed to watch something like this to remind myself that it's a process
heyyy i’m also in the process of “developing” my style can u recommend me some youtubers/videos?
@@Ana-pj1gf well, Steal the Spotlight has a video on it herself, that's actually how I found her channel a few years ago! Kaiti Yoo, Amy Serrano and Gigi MW are other channels that I follow and who have recently made videos on this. They also have pretty different styles from each other so that makes it even more fun. Hope they help you
you were so cute as a child and your fashion sense when you were little was just sO GOOD!!
Wow... the way that your kindergarten self has more style than me now-
SAME
oh mannnnnn if only you still had that spice girls tee!!!! ah, little Katie was such a style icon! (obviously you still are but yeah 😅)
Be patient with your style. Thank you for that message. I don’t have the money to build my wardrobe and it could take me a while but that msg rlly made me realize that just like me not everyone can.
I love this! It's so fun seeing what people actually wore 5, 10, 15 years ago and not just watching what celebrities wore
15:20 That’s nice to hear! I sometimes feel like my outfits are a little bit too plain because I can’t afford jewelry and other cool accessories. So that’s a nice reminder, thanks☺️♥️
@kat thanks for the hint☺️
Some thrift stores have cool jewelry and I’d recommended going to marshalls and tj max (if in america) . Or maybe even make your own!! It’s super fun and obv you can make it to your liking with charms and stuff
@@honeyswann There is unfortunately no Marshalls in my country, but besides that your tips are very helpful! Thanks☺️💗
LMAO those pics are amazing, girl's been taking Instagram outfit pics since she was like 5, long before Instagram even existed.
Literally born for it babes!
you've really helped me feel more confident in the clothes I actually like to wear! thank you!!
I think the one amazing thing about your style evolution is that no matter what age, you always worked with colors similar to one another and textures that work really well with one another! Really needed this reminder that it's normal for one's style to change and evolve across time. 💜 The one thing that's consistent for me is the love of anything shiny and fairy-like haha, I think my childhood love of ballet stuck with me in fashion 😅
You just made me realise that 3 years have gone by so quickly. I literally thought I had only been subscribed for a year and I just went through all your videos and it has been three.
Such a fashion icon! The range of styles that you can rock is insane
I would looove to see you do a wardrobe tour and talk about when/how you got pieces and built up your closet! honestly you are such an inspiration to me in finding your own style and wearing what you love instead of feeling like I should be following every trend to make me feel fashionable! 💖
Omggg that crochet dress 😱😱 and also just you’re style as a kid 👌🏼 sometimes I feel like the style we had as children reflect our style better than later when we become more self conscious and insecure
Your CURLS 😍
Also don’t come at me about denim jackets because I throw mine over everything okay
UR CHILDHOOD PICS & STYLE IS SO CUTE ??:)!)? OMGG
I know this is going to sound ridiculously corny, but over the last year your channel and vids has helped me step into my style and also my sense of self with so much more confidence. Seeing you have so much fun and playing with fashion (and embracing your love of anime) has inspired me to do the same and I’ve literally never been more happy and confident. Also thank you for introducing me to BSD, I’m now living with the most severe Chuuya brain rot I’ve ever seen. xoxo
i am OBSESSED with the looks you put together as a kid! 💖
THE SHORT STACK TEE HAHAHAH YESSS
This video made me super nostalgic tbh, i’ve been subscribed for so long and I’ve watched your style evolve over the years. You can tell from your pictures that you’re so much more confident in your style and outfit choices now! 🥰 Hoping I can get to that same level of confidence soon, but as another commenter said, it’s a process!
My mum dressed me till I was 11, and then she said I should start doing picking my clothes myself and oh god I didn't like it - just had the realisation I prefer having people choose for me; I'm an undecisive libra yay
But wow your outfits between 2015 and now I love!
Man, this really makes me wish I wasn't so camera shy when I was younger. Who knows what levels of cringe I'd have seen during my edgy emo/scene phase
i'm SO excited to watch this i switched from mobile to my laptop just for you
The fairy core is wearable in the fall and spring here in Canada 🤩
in the context of being a child and young teen, the outfits you wore before late high school, i honestly loved them so much
The leopard coat is also something I rock on the daily. I go between that and my matrix vibes leather blazer. And in the winter I wear them both at the same time. I love them so much
I can second that discovering kpop just makes your sense of style go 📈📈📈📈
Preschool Katie was undoubtably MILES ahead of me in terms of style, I can't believe it - I mean just peek the denim pants at 4:34! That's the stuff I try to make myself😭
i love the concept of this video so much omg !
I've been happy to be on this fashion journey with you and it's funny looking back on your outfits that I saw you putting together back in the day as well. What kept me coming back time and time again was the incredible quality and care you've always put into making your videos. Even these more "simple" ones you've managed to elevate in the best way possible and I still really enjoy watching everything you create.
ahh love this 💛🙌 i’ve loved watching your style evolve. i take so much inspiration from you, katie- especially how far you’ve come in wearing what feels good to you and expressing yourself so authentically!!
Oh my goodness I just absolutely loved this video! If you ever wanna do another variation of this I’d love to see!
i've been subscribed to your channel since i was 15 and now i'm 20 ! it's crazy how time has flown by and to have seen your style evolve alongside my own is crazy too
love love love this video katie! i've been here for 5 years or so and it's been amazing watching your style evolve 😌💘
Yay the fashion queen is back love you so much Katie 💗
i love the emphasis you put on how this is all a long process, since lately it has been a trend to do mega hauls and honestly a lot of people like me can't afford that many stuff at the same time. i also see other people commenting that they feel the same but i still wanted to leave my own comment because it really helps and makes me feel better
scene queen Katie! i had the same phase and well, “building my wardrobe” now just means building a never ending collection of band shirts
your curls! adorable
I’ve been here since the early days. I remember being so jealous of this mermaid green see through button up you thrifted. Also, I LOVED the fashion citizen! Wish they were still online
Always love seeing your videos! Also your style as a kid omg 🔥🔥 iconic !
i loved watching this. yasss confidenceeee
Awww I love all of these looks!
Proud to say I’ve been here since the 2013/14 early days! Loved you then love you now Katie 🥰This was such a fun and like meaningful prompt
omg the Fashion Citizen!! Hahaha I remember lusting over those boots so much! Wow, this video has taken my on a journey.
your background tho😭😭😩😩😍😍
so excited for this😁
you're not alone with the half-assed scene phase, i was right there with you
I really like your all aesthetics! And your background vibes! it makes mi happy
I'm jealous of all your phrases 😭🤚
i LOVE this video
Katie I've been watching you since 2015 and I have to say it's been amazing to see how much your style has evolved!
I’m obsessed with the poses from the little you pictures awww haha
Im literally obsessed with ur style when you were a kid it’s iconic
omg i miss the fashion citizen 🥺 our fav fashion forward vlogger sister duo 💞
ohh i already love this!
I love this video, I swear everyone I know who got into kpop gained so much knowledge and influence from it. Also it would be great if you did a video on styling for shorter legs and longer torso, especially for bigger people
love youuu
Love the video already !!
@11:51 im so sorry to hear that you haven’t felt comfortable enough to go to events anymore :( maybe it’d make things easier if you were able to bring a guest (like your bf), however I know social anxiety can be a bitch so I totally understand if you don’t think you’ll ever go to another “work event” again.
loved this!!!
So happy u upload a video :D
oooh really liked this! Love to see your journey through the trends and fashion eras that I've grown up in too :))
It would be amazing if you would do a Lady Miss Kier (from Dee-lite 90s) inspired look book or outfits! 😍❣
Your style is so fun I love it
I literally thought about you and your channel today and look, a new video popped up! Yay🥳
I suggested a video like this last year and I am so glad you are doing it😃
LOVE YOUR SCENE KID PHASE
Love the curls! Very fairy/pixie-esque.
I LOOOOOVED THIS VIDEO
I love your style sm! I take inspiration from you all the time, def a style icon for me!
such a cool video idea!
I wish I had that many photos from my childhood :,)
love you girl
I love your previous styles, they were quite of the times and you pulled them off in my opinion.
those childhood pics were adorable! you were always a style icon from a young age :)
This was very cute! you are very talented designer and entertainer! x thank you xx
NO BECAUSE I ALSO CHANGED MY STYLE BASED ON WHO I HAD A CRUSH ON HELPPPP I WAS SO INSECURE
Omg you had such a good fashion sense as a kid, ahhh I was like the complete opposite- I wore so many layers of clothes usually from the boys section or my brothers old clothes for some reason- I never had a princess dress but I seem to remember stealing this cat themed dress from one of my friends and just wearing that around the house when I wasn’t at school.
You are such a style icon 🤍
omg you were such a cute kid 🥺 such a fashion icon since early years!
I would really love to see a how to style sweater vest video. You have inspired me to incorporate them into my style, but I’m having a difficult time on how to style them.
I'm so in love with your style😍 i was thinking if maybe you could do a video of things that are staples for you and that you find reaching tor the most when styling. That would be helpful cause i would love to build wardrobe similar to yours but i just don't know where to start. Love ya, have a nice day😊😊
This was sooo fun ! I loved seeing your style journey ! We all look back and cringe at our past selves, but without experimenting how are we suppose to find our style... I went from Emo (Wannabe...I was trying to impress a boy LMAO) to Abercrombie and Fitch style in the span of a few months when I was younger lol . And besides wearing the same thing for your entire life would be boring
I love your channel so much
AH this is my favourite video you’ve ever done, i loved every second :)
So much Aussie kid nostalgia! 🤩🇦🇺
following this idea, I think it could also be fun to look at ur first videos and see how u have progressed w filming and editing and look at your timeline of videos
Katie serving looks since day ONE
omg this is such a good idea, i want to recreate some of my old outfits but i don't have any pictures of the outfits i chose for myself. oh well, my mom picked out cute stuff for me when i was a toddler, i could wear that. she dressed me in a lot of denim and florals
Damn I've been here a long time. I used to watch you sporadically since 5+ years ago and have been consuming every single video for 3+ years, from around the time you have felt comfortable with your style. As someone who has been here before, the old boho vibes didn't stick with me as much, and I really felt a change since you entered your kpop/streetstyle era. Watching your videos at the time really helped me develop and indulge in my own style as well, and I've been here ever since.
Omg the fashion citizen! I miss their videos so much 😭😭
I love your style so much,
I’m not aloud to wear crop tops and short shirts, but I loveeeee your style.
10:57 I did the same around 2015, 2016 and 2017 (my 1st and 2nd year of high school), and I thought I was stylish lol, thankfully I got into kpop in 2017 and discovered korean street style, kpop stage outfits, that's how I discovered chunky sneakers and wide jeans before such items became available in stores in Slovenia, kpop also helped me discover the world of accessories. I didn't immediately learn how to properly style myself, so I would say my style in the 3rd and 4th year of high school was not fully developed yet, not enough layering and accessorizing, but I think I got the hand of it since I started uni, especially in the last year or so (even tho I haven't really got many opportunities to go outside and show off my outfits). I also think that discovering your channel around 2019 contributed a lot to the development of my style, I took inspiration from your accessorizing.
Oh ma God!! I love this video!
I would love to see you going into thrift shops irl video pls 😍
omg your hair when you were little.......... so beautiful !!!!
I think gojo in the background stole the spot light
This video makes me feel safe 💕
Can we just talk about how her hair when she was youger looks so gorgeous (not that it still doesn't now)
