As an eco-conscious person who’s recently lost a lot of weight due to illness and doesn’t feel as happy being skinnier as they thought they would, seeing 2023 trends done sustainably on a non-size 0 body is very comforting
It's so interesting how you have mentioned multiple times you're worried we might get bored of seeing the same items and that there seems to be the pressure of buying new stuff as part of keeping the audience entertained. It's really quite the opposite to me, I love getting familiar with your wardrobe and seeing you style the same item in multiple ways! I think it's really inspiring as it is way more challenging to think of endless ways to work with what you have than it is to just buy something new. Makes me want to revisit and play around in my own wardrobe as well
You once said you were worried we mggt get bored of seeing you wear the same clothes over and over. I catch myself enjoying these videos a lot. It is a pep talk I need 👀 Also the brown lipstick looks stunning on you!
Honestly, as someone who lives in a hot and humid climate, I think the textile matters WAY more than the color when it comes to beating the heat. A black linen will ALWAYS be cooler than a white polyester.
Adore this. I follow a wonderful lady called Alyssa Beltempo whose entire channel is about sustainable fashion and shopping your closet. She is however, queen of neutral. So it's fun seeing you do this with your super colourful and fun wardrobe!
Okay 2 things: 1. You are so fun to watch and I loveee the sustainability aspect that you bring to trends! And 2. Our styles could not be more different but you still gave me so many ideas for my own style with these looks!! Thank you!
Came to say that haircut is absolutely SERVING on you! Also glad to hear I will finally be considered ‘trendy’ by continuing to wear my all black outfits through all times and seasons until they are prized from my cold, dead hands 😂
Two trends you -perhaps unintentionally- crossed off with that fab dress: chartreuse being the Pantone colour of the year, and also evening shine for daytime!
I have that same pattern that you made the heart dress with! I haven't read all the comments here, but you could wear that little fluffy beige skirt from the first look as a petticoat under the heart dress to give it that 50s "New Look" volume!
I regularly go back to your Lies to Unlearn about Clothes video and this is a great addition to your inspiring clothing playlist. Thanks for the fun tips on being realistic and loving beautiful things. ❤
I love all these looks! Especially the grunge one and the hearts. Not a huge fan of "summer black", but maybe that's because I also dress like a kids TV presenter and love all the colours. Thank you for raising awareness and showing us how fun it can be to do "fashion" sustainably!
All of these are amaze-balls, Goddess was my fav Unfortunately I culled my wardrobe to a capsule and then I needed maternity and breastfeeding couch clothes…so now I have to pivot to work clothes
These outfits are all fabulous, but honestly, the summer black - ABSOLUTELY STUNNER. Love love love. You've inspired me to (want to) figure out sewing and make myself a peplum style shirt 💕
As a part-time metal head, I am so so so grateful for summer black this season. I also want to stress that you absolutely SLAYED all of these, especially the say yes to the goddess
Honestly, whoever thinks I’m going to get rid of my linen garments for summer can kiss their behinds goodbye. Don’t care about any trends in that regard, it’s what I’ve been wearing in our 40 degree heat for the past five years and will keep doing so! Thanks for sharing this Leena, your videos are always so good!
You just made a fashion nerd lay down her current sewing project to give my two cents, so here we go :) First of all, I would actually change the title because what stands out about your styles is not your size, but your creativity of recreating the trends with items you already own that are also sustainable. So cool!! :D Also, I just diiiiiieeeeed. There is no way I will see anything more beautiful than the heart patterend dungarees today! I have to uncycle my own as my next sewing project, they are sooo lovely!! And the grunge look is SO. DAMN. COOL! And no, that's not too much tartan, it's just *chefs kiss*
I think a lot of people are enticed by the title because they're interested in seeing someone like them in fun clothes! I've gone up a few sizes recently and it's making me notice how hard it is to tell what clothes will look like on me since brands just show them on skinny people. I do love the sustainable aspect too though! :~)
Every time you say “sheer joy” I hear “queer joy” and it makes me happy:) And you did such a good job! I’m so impressed with your sewing skills! I love all these fits! You gave me some good ideas and some motivation to try my little $50 sewing machine out finally
No such thing as too much tartan! Love the grungey look, I never really moved out of that phase so it's fun to see people coming back around to it with a new take on it.
I pretty much live in black clothes anyway so I'm totally here for black in the summer! I've always found that I can get so much more wear out of darker colored "summer" items because they're much easier to layer imo, so can be worn even in slightly colder weather, whereas with lighter-colored summer pieces, they often look extremely summery and cutesy and flowy, so they're harder to layer for slightly cooler weather (at least for me, there probably are people who are better at layering who'd disagree haha)
I love the grunge, goddess, and heart dress looks. *Chef's kiss* Now I'm going to go off and make clothes from the Edwardian era, out of bedsheets, because I know nothing about modern fashion...
I liked the goddess dress, maybe change the sleeve? Your grunge was great & brown lips were/are very 90s and on trend looked great. Thanks for sharing this. I have so many clothes I need to play with more
Loved all the different looks. As someone who grew up in the 90s with grunge I kinda roll my eyes when high fashion brands give that genre of music a look as the majority of bands looked like that because they could only ever shop in thrift stores or wear hand me downs (this was before they went mainstream) x x x
"Sound of Music Core 2023" hosted by Leena Norms sounds wonderful! You did awesome with styling these outfits. The first one was tons better than the sheer samples you showed. To make the black more spring/summer, maybe roll the cuffs a little above the ankle, like you did with those GORGEOUS pink dungarees! Love the heart dress you made, especially with the red big statement accessories. You made the goddess dress work well, too, with the black belt and accessories - The garment might have been designed with the expectation that the person wearing it will provide the underlying architecture with a shapewear, such as a cone bra or bustier and butt-lifting underwear. Nice lipstick choices, and the final outfit is fantastic as well!
I grew up in the west of Ireland in the 70s and 80s, and thrifted style was all the rage then, as nobody had any money. My mum worked as a nurse in a nursing home, and sometimes was gifted clothing items after clients left the world. One time she brought me a pristine v neck long white cotton nightie with ruffles which I loved to throw on backwards with red patent ballet flats and my mother's enormous black tooled leather Victorian style handbag. I always felt so chic, going out for a night in this getup. And nobody looked like me
I love all of these outfits, Leena! Also I'm so envious of your Catch Rhys hoops and chain - they don't seem to sell these ones anymore! Thank you for making sustainable fashion content and also telling Heroin Chic and fast-fashion trends to naff off! 💜
I love this. I might try my own version of this with my wardrobe. Creating a specific look with pieces one already has is such a fun way to remember pieces of clothing that may have been neglected for a while.
I love the visual and auditory transition between the different styles, and your positive energy! I just recovered from covid for the second time, and I feel like it has somehow given me more energy now that I am up on my feet. My mind and body feel fresh to bring joy and color into my life. Thank you for cultivating this nurturing place in the internet!
The goddess dress is working for you. The belt really suits you from the aesthetic of things, as well as the function side. I would suggest an updo, though, something with volume, maybe topped by ribbons or headband crowns. You know the gibson girl look, or where the hair is pieced out, and tucked through a band, making a voluminous curl over, leading away from the face? Maybe another kind of big rose hoops that you favor, maybe something a bit lux, a rose made of velvet or silk, or a bright but pastel/watercolor type fabric? I kind of thought of a pink or purple+ for that last option, something that seems variegated. Or maybe a print reminiscent of carnivals and victorian luxuriant darkness. (Men's silk ties revisited?) The green highlights the red in your skin, and it really makes the brown of your eyes and hair pop. You could try to pinkify your skin, but it could also be really interesting to add more red to your outfit, build it up with another color -one away from the green or red on the color wheel, like purple or blue: Yellow or orange? I'm not sure, but I wonder if that could be worth a try, like parrot feathers? You have such beautiful bright skin, that really bright bold colors truly suit you! Lest I forget, maybe you simply need leopard earrings! I love chartreuse, and when it was first introduced to me, it seemed very mysterious, so I got curious. I found that the color became a fashion along with an even brighter green when it could finally be made through the use of arsenic. Modern acid dyes no longer require such toxicity for similar results. (Thank the gods!) However, for a time, green fabric was a major source of poisoning in the home. It turns out, that as available as the color green is in nature, finding a green dye was nearly impossible, as the pigments making it would be yellow, orange, red, purple, and even blue (though blue is relatively rare, coming primarily from woad and ph manipulations of anthocyanins, until indigo and logwood? became an option. For reference, woad produced bright blue, anthocyanins produce mostly medium and light blues. Cadmium and cobalt... Let's just say I only know them from the glassmaking side of things so far, and I know they are not something I'd want to immerse myself in. Logwood is rare? I'd have to look it up again to remember where it comes from. It produces a purply blue, kind of grey and muted. Indigo and prussian blue (a whole story in its self), which came to Europe late, unless I miss my mark, were the only ways of making a clear, deep blue.) All those famous green clad archers from previous centuries were mixing blue and yellow dyes, using a process that included soaking the fabric in urine. Anyway, it was this perfect fusion between the color of abundance and fertility, and a new luxury, not quite in this world. I can easily imagine how it began to reference magic and power. And, you know the Victorians - obsessed with exotic locales, exotic animals, occult power, and a magical marriage between them, especially when hunting for the next trend. All of which is to say that pairing chartreuse with leopards, snakes, exotic birds and insects, and the concept of godhood, has a long tradition that deserves to transcend its more poisonous roots. If anyone could do it with a simple find here or there, and a DIY project, it would be you, Leena!
as someone who wears mostly black, i LOVE the summer black look! the tank is adorable, and i wouldnt have thought of the wide leg with the peplum top 🥰🖤 consider me inspired - along with all the me-made pieces
I swear every year you get better at dressing yourself and I am HERE FOR THE JOURNEY The last two outfits were UHMAZING - I am saying yes to the goddess and revisiting the grunge!
All of them work, did not have a single doubt about any of them! A couple look slightly grown up and polished, like the goddess, but also so you, that I cannot fault them. Also, genius idea with the dungarees, will absolutely replicate it as a sewing project!
Loved the chartreuse fit and the grunge fit (although I think a different scarf would be better). I hope you find somewhere to wear the goddess outfit from head to toe... So gorgeous.
I love the green dress on you!You’re right, it definitely needs a belt. Try the leopard print belt and the brown heeled boots for something a little softer and … woodsy?? Ethereal?? You can also add some grey or dark brown patterned tights for some more texture ❤
LOVE that you used what you already have, and each look worked so well! Makes me want to see what I can put together too... The polished grunge look was my favourite I think, but omg the goddess dress was amazing 😍 perhaps would add something organic to it like long wooden beaded necklace layered with a gold one...
This was a great video. Loved the Goddess chartrues dress. Maybe a different belt would be more goddess-y...like I could see just making something out of black cord or upcycled bootlace. Or maybe a gold chain belt (could even be a strip of gold trim). Maybe paint an old pair of shoes or boots gold?
Lena, I love all of those. Also, can I please have some of them? You did such a great job at curating clothes that match my style in my size, and while I KNOW it is my style, I never manage to find those kind of clothes! By the way: Thank you for making the only kind of fashion videos I want to watch!! And for helping me recognize and refine my style (for the body I have, not the body I "ought to have")
Summer black and the grungeish outfits were my favorite! The mix of darker colors and ‘lighter’ silhouettes (not sure how to phrase it lol) is very fun and cool :D
If you'd like to take your sewing to the next level, look into fit adjustments. You can adjust paper patterns for your body shape and go from a "home made" (which is already wonderful don't get me wrong) look to something more "custom tailored". Some things I do that may or may not apply to you too: grading between sizes, full bust adjustment, full tummy adjustment, forward shoulder adjustment, broad back adjustment.... The list goes on and on and every adjustment goes both directions depending if you need to add or remove.
Love the silky goddess dress, maybe styling it with a scarf as a belt would add a little extra something something? I feel like it could use some accompanying drapery to add to the toga effect 😁 all the looks were so great, love your work as ever
I loved the Summer Black outfit - great job on the top!! The L&Y dungarees are splendid, and I love seeing them. But the goddess green look takes the cake.
Here to say that the shimmering chartreuse maxi dress TOTALLY works.
right? I did not think it would, but it does. I have a very similarly shaped dress that I always thought swallows me, now I know how to style it!
@LeenaNorms whenever you sell it down the road PLEASE LET ME BUY IT
@@MrsQuam I came to comment the same! I want it too! hahaah
I loved in on her too ❤
As an eco-conscious person who’s recently lost a lot of weight due to illness and doesn’t feel as happy being skinnier as they thought they would, seeing 2023 trends done sustainably on a non-size 0 body is very comforting
The goddess dress is GLORIOUS!
That's what I came to comment!! It looks so good
that chartreuse color makes you glow (tres goddess!), and it's not an easy color to pull off. My favorite of all the looks!
Agree! And I can see it become even more fabulous by tailoring the upper part to a shaped fit. The color and shimmer are STUNNING!
It's so interesting how you have mentioned multiple times you're worried we might get bored of seeing the same items and that there seems to be the pressure of buying new stuff as part of keeping the audience entertained.

OMG Leena can actually make clothes! Im so exited for her!
SO AM I
You once said you were worried we mggt get bored of seeing you wear the same clothes over and over. I catch myself enjoying these videos a lot. It is a pep talk I need 👀 Also the brown lipstick looks stunning on you!
As someone who only wears black, I loved your summer black outfit. I wear all black all summer, and I find linen to be my saviour
Grace Leathers finds "grace" in linen.... lol! hugs to you!
Honestly, as someone who lives in a hot and humid climate, I think the textile matters WAY more than the color when it comes to beating the heat. A black linen will ALWAYS be cooler than a white polyester.
This is probably the first fashion video I've ever watched that didn't make me feel bad for having a body with skin on it. Thanks, subscribed! :)
Haha I think this is my favourite comment 🤣 welcome
Love this "no-buy trend attempt" format! Reminds us all to be creative and gives us a fun time with Leena
The sheer top with the orange bandana was sooo good. Please pair it with some black jeans! Also, the goddess dress is great!
I'm also a size 16(ish) British woman and I don't know why but the moment you said "creative resistance" I teared up. This video makes me feel normal.
Adore this. I follow a wonderful lady called Alyssa Beltempo whose entire channel is about sustainable fashion and shopping your closet. She is however, queen of neutral. So it's fun seeing you do this with your super colourful and fun wardrobe!
The grunge look was my favorite. The little ruffle at the bottom of the utility jacket is cute
Okay 2 things: 1. You are so fun to watch and I loveee the sustainability aspect that you bring to trends! And 2. Our styles could not be more different but you still gave me so many ideas for my own style with these looks!! Thank you!

"For every sucessfull sewing project, I have one that is a little bit of a fail." Omg this mindset will be so usefull for my knitting ambitions! 😯😍
Yes! Ratio is so important x
‘In the mood for preparing for the apocalypse’ fashion is wild. Love the golden/green dress with the belt!
the summer black is a look!!!!! also, you can show off your tattoos
Love the heart dress you made! I also try to reuse zips where possible. I honestly don't think you can tell on that dress 🥰
All of these are amaze-balls, Goddess was my fav
Unfortunately I culled my wardrobe to a capsule and then I needed maternity and breastfeeding couch clothes…so now I have to pivot to work clothes
These outfits are all fabulous, but honestly, the summer black - ABSOLUTELY STUNNER. Love love love. You've inspired me to (want to) figure out sewing and make myself a peplum style shirt 💕
I, at multiple times while watching this, exclaimed aloud 'she's so beautiful, wow!' - like, that spring semi-grunge look is incredible
I loved the grunge on you it was so fun and pretty.
As a part-time metal head, I am so so so grateful for summer black this season. I also want to stress that you absolutely SLAYED all of these, especially the say yes to the goddess
Yes to sound of music core! I live in Austria, and love thrifting vintage “traditional” coats and upcycling sound of music esque trachten pieces
The heart dress outfit 😍 would wear in a ....heartbeat.
Honestly, whoever thinks I’m going to get rid of my linen garments for summer can kiss their behinds goodbye.
Don’t care about any trends in that regard, it’s what I’ve been wearing in our 40 degree heat for the past five years and will keep doing so!

I do love the sustainable aspect too though! :~)
Why not both? A title about 'SUSTAINABLY recreating 2023 trends as a SIZE 16' perhaps?
KNOCKED
IT
OUT
OF
THE
PARK 💃🏻 🎉🎉🎉
Love the grunge look- never too much tartan!
Love your hearty yaks, love the grunge outfit aaand the black summer one. I'm so happy to see the blue and green tartan sheer blouse I love it!
Every time you say “sheer joy” I hear “queer joy” and it makes me happy:)
And you did such a good job! I’m so impressed with your sewing skills! I love all these fits! You gave me some good ideas and some motivation to try my little $50 sewing machine out finally
The plaid look is my favvv
That goddess dress is one of the most beautiful dresses I’ve ever seen

Multiple tartans for the win! Love!
I liked the goddess dress, maybe change the sleeve?
Your grunge was great & brown lips were/are very 90s and on trend looked great.
Thanks for sharing this. I have so many clothes I need to play with more
You 👏 SLAYYYYYEEED 👏 these outfits!! And the absolute biggest yes to applying what trends you think are cute to your already existing wardrobe!
i LOVE that you do these vids with things you already own rather than thrifting
Yes to all of this but especially for 2023 to be full of sound of music core! I am looking at my curtains as we speak!
Say yes to the goddess!!! Omg it's beautiful
Loved all the different looks. As someone who grew up in the 90s with grunge I kinda roll my eyes when high fashion brands give that genre of music a look as the majority of bands looked like that because they could only ever shop in thrift stores or wear hand me downs (this was before they went mainstream) x x x
The black and the goddess!!! Ong

Love the tartan look 🏴
love all your ensembles and you did great progress in sewing ! 😃
I grew up in the west of Ireland in the 70s and 80s, and thrifted style was all the rage then, as nobody had any money. My mum worked as a nurse in a nursing home, and sometimes was gifted clothing items after clients left the world. One time she brought me a pristine v neck long white cotton nightie with ruffles which I loved to throw on backwards with red patent ballet flats and my mother's enormous black tooled leather Victorian style handbag. I always felt so chic, going out for a night in this getup. And nobody looked like me
I love all of these outfits, Leena! Also I'm so envious of your Catch Rhys hoops and chain - they don't seem to sell these ones anymore! Thank you for making sustainable fashion content and also telling Heroin Chic and fast-fashion trends to naff off! 💜
love the green satin and black leather combo. i'd probably minus the crown and do hair up but that's a winner for me
The chartreuse was my FAVOURITE you look badass
Rewatching old TH-cam favourites because I'm sick and bored, and I bloody love the all-black one!
I love this! Really nice getting to watch a clothes video that isn’t trying to sell me something 😊
Ooh I love the last one and the hearts overalls!!
I love this. I might try my own version of this with my wardrobe. Creating a specific look with pieces one already has is such a fun way to remember pieces of clothing that may have been neglected for a while.
Deffo gonna try the summer black thing!
i wholeheartedly second soundofmusiccore! gotta love a good dirndl, also: aprons are UNDERRATED accessories.
I love the visual and auditory transition between the different styles, and your positive energy!

The last two outfits were UHMAZING - I am saying yes to the goddess and revisiting the grunge!
This video brought me so much joy! And that heart dress 😍You're getting so bloody good at upcycling
So much fun.
Loving the double tartan outfit!
All of them work, did not have a single doubt about any of them! A couple look slightly grown up and polished, like the goddess, but also so you, that I cannot fault them. Also, genius idea with the dungarees, will absolutely replicate it as a sewing project!
Loved the chartreuse fit and the grunge fit (although I think a different scarf would be better). I hope you find somewhere to wear the goddess outfit from head to toe... So gorgeous.
Love the goddess dress, I love that colour green on you, I look bloody hideous in it even though I love it so I have envy xx
Heart dress for the win!
I love the green dress on you!You’re right, it definitely needs a belt. Try the leopard print belt and the brown heeled boots for something a little softer and … woodsy?? Ethereal?? You can also add some grey or dark brown patterned tights for some more texture ❤
OMG I - ADORE the hearts ensembles!
The heart dress!! Amazing!
LOVE that you used what you already have, and each look worked so well!

The polished grunge look was my favourite I think, but omg the goddess dress was amazing 😍 perhaps would add something organic to it like long wooden beaded necklace layered with a gold one...
The heart dress and overalls have to be my FAVORITE
The Goddess outfit looks amazing! Perfect outfit for a fancy/fun event, like a youtube event, a vidcon party, an award show, ...
I think my favorite outfit is the last one. I love the grunge style.
This is so much fun!
Absolutely love your fashion videos they always inspire me to try something new with my style!
I love that you are using what you already have to create the looks. They turned out so good!
2:23 in and THE GASP I GASPED AT THAT IMMACULATE CREATION!!! YOU LOOK INCREDIBLE! Am also v. much here for the grunge!
i love all of these!!!
Love love love the “goddess” dress. Styling is 🔥🔥🔥
This was a great video. Loved the Goddess chartrues dress. Maybe a different belt would be more goddess-y...like I could see just making something out of black cord or upcycled bootlace. Or maybe a gold chain belt (could even be a strip of gold trim). Maybe paint an old pair of shoes or boots gold?
Thanks for the inspiration - such cute, fun and cool outfits! 🙌🏻🤩
Lena, I love all of those. Also, can I please have some of them? You did such a great job at curating clothes that match my style in my size, and while I KNOW it is my style, I never manage to find those kind of clothes! By the way: Thank you for making the only kind of fashion videos I want to watch!! And for helping me recognize and refine my style (for the body I have, not the body I "ought to have")
Love summer black grunge and goddess!
I love these outfits 😍
The heart dress is delightful! Have you tried it with the tulle skirt from the sheer joy outfit underneath to add a little volume?
Summer black and the grungeish outfits were my favorite! The mix of darker colors and ‘lighter’ silhouettes (not sure how to phrase it lol) is very fun and cool :D
If you'd like to take your sewing to the next level, look into fit adjustments. You can adjust paper patterns for your body shape and go from a "home made" (which is already wonderful don't get me wrong) look to something more "custom tailored". Some things I do that may or may not apply to you too: grading between sizes, full bust adjustment, full tummy adjustment, forward shoulder adjustment, broad back adjustment.... The list goes on and on and every adjustment goes both directions depending if you need to add or remove.
Love the silky goddess dress, maybe styling it with a scarf as a belt would add a little extra something something? I feel like it could use some accompanying drapery to add to the toga effect 😁 all the looks were so great, love your work as ever
i LOVE the summer black top you made and I want to make myself one
I loved the Summer Black outfit - great job on the top!!
The L&Y dungarees are splendid, and I love seeing them.
But the goddess green look takes the cake.
