Hi! I just wanted to ask what size you got the chunky chains in to make your necklaces, because I looked at the Michaels' website and can't tell how big they are by mm. I love big chunky collars and necklaces as well and have been wanting bigger chains and clasps for my clumsy hands.
i've always been interested in alt fashion in general, but only in last couple years have been purposely trying to dress more punk/grunge/alt and diy stuff, also been trying to make my own battle/patch jacket and it's going along slowly(very slowly), but surely:D
@@mansikkapoika yes!! i think with the rise in popularity of online shopping a lot of the essence of DIY has gotten lost with people who may be new to the community but i really hope they eventually learn that its way cooler and more fun to make things on your own or thrift stuff
@@chuckyDLuffy and on top of that it's usually cheaper and way better for the environment than fast fashion/online shopping! It makes me happy to see that thrifting, recycling and modifying your own clothes has become more common/popular again c:
Meanwhile, I've had a dark style since high school and I'm incorporating more colorful things lately lol I kinda envy people who have a very stable and defined personal style, but I'm enjoying the little journey until I find mine ❤
it's kinda hilarious (not in a bad way ofc) how a style that's supposed to be extremely low-effort and made chaotically out of junk, is approached with such nerdy thoroughness here 😄 almost like science
I've been doing the whole mixed aesthetics thing for a long time now and it's so much fun to switch between full on goth and rainbow the next day when I feel like it. I also have some in-between styles. Definitely not a thing I just did overnight and I don't call my style anything particular either.
The punk blazer is honestly my favorite. I've dabbled in punk aesthetic for a while but demin & leather can often give me sensory issues, but I *adore* my blazers. I never thought to combine the two by I'm definitely going to work on a "battle blazer" soon!
I've done the long insert sleeves trick with several sweatshirts and hoodies and they always look more cute and fun afterward almost without fail. Those long baggy sleeves make you feel like you've stolen the garment of your parent, or older sibling, or significant other. It's very playful and comforting.
I found a bunch of antique military buttons in my grandmother's button box this year and found others just like them for sale online. Even if the buttons from your blazer aren't antique, I wouldn't be surprised if someone would want them.
I LOVE this!! I primarily dress in fairy kei but there’s a bunch of other styles I want to start dressing in (grunge and pastel goth being a couple of them). This was such a great guide on how to put together a new wardrobe, how to make unique pieces, and also it’s just really cool to see someone bring new life into basic clothes! This inspires me to go work on getting my capsule wardrobes together.
I love how your personal style shines through with all the pastels and cute details! As I have been dressing in dark/alternative clothes since forever, I have some tips for people wanting to try it out: - Don't be afraid to pair different shades of black. Many thrifted clothes are washed out, but pairing them can really look great - the grunge look never dies. Alternatively: Bleach or dye them - build your wardrobe slowly. I gradually have been building my wardrobe for 10 years now. Since black works with everything, just use what you have until you have enough pieces to achieve your desired darkness. Don't rush :) - many black shirts with a print on them should not be ironed, since the print will start to crackle! - Leggings are amazing. Wear them under ripped jeans when it's cold, wear them with oversized shirts (that now look like tshirt dresses!), Wear them just as a more comfortable and durable substitute to tights. - Try to find not only basics, but also weird looking pieces that are interesting to look at. Patched up pants with pops of color, Colorblocking pieces, asymmetrical shirts, dresses that can be layered upon. When thrifting, try weird shit on, i often bought things that I originally did not like, but ended up LOVING, because it just worked with other pieces. - Juxtaposition looks SO good. I love to pair business wear like white buttonups with dark punk style. - Layering is everything - honestly, learn how to repair holes in your shirts and trousers. On black clothes, the stitching won't be visible at all. - aaand: Thrift your clothes, Upcycle them, DIY as much as you can. Old clothes last longer, you can repair nice pieces by sewing or patching them up. It looks more interesting and personalized. New stuff from fast fashion brands is often that low quality that you can't even repair it because the fabric is so thin.
I love your take on darker style, it's so unique and different from the typical whirl/goth we see these days (which is also cute) Btw, nail polish is a great paint to use on metal. I use that to cover up jean buttons and studs all the time and it works great! I find that sanding the metal down with a nail file first and finishing with a clear top coat makes it last very long without needing a touch up.
I always hear about people using nail polish with success but I think the climate here must get too hot or something because whenever I used it growing up eventually the nail polish would turn sticky?
@@TheStitchess I know for nails it's better to let each coat dry very long like 30 mins between coats and do super thin layers or it'll for sure get sticky. You can also dip the polished item in ice cold water once it's set, it helps the varnish dry smoother. I think it would work just the same on metal, but I can't speak from experience as I live in Canada where heat is an issue for only 3 months ❄️
Nail polish itself goes off and becomes sticky and gloopy, once that happens it never really dries properly when you use it and needs to be binned. Not sure if that's what you meant about it getting sticky. Also I heard you can keep your nail polish in the fridge to make it last longer but I haven't tried that.
I feel like this came out at the perfect time for me because I'm in the middle of my own style evolution right now! Mostly it's been involving me trying not to go on ridiculous shopping sprees (especially since I recently got a new job and having more money makes me want to spend it), but you definitely gave me some great DIY ideas!
You have the best how-to-make-a-wardrobe videos I've found! I don't dress much at all like you, but your videos on building wardrobes and thinking about fashion are so clear, and applicable to so many styles. Anyway, I always learn something when you post a video, and I'm so excited to see this!
My break the rainbow phase I was going for 2 years with a piece of black ended up switching everything to return to my lazy goth days ahhaah The jacket looks fun... especially for asking for a shoulder massage. I loved those lavender shoes transformation
I love this! I’ve found myself moving toward a darker color palette lately and wanting to incorporate more alternative elements like I used to wear, so this is very helpful. Also your hair is SO freaking cute!
I have an oversize blazer just sitting in my closet... Now it's gonna have a new life!! This video was one of the most helpful and entertaining video ever, I loved ever minute thank you very much ^___^
I adore this video! I love watching your usual pastel fashion content, but I personally love gothy-punky-darker stuff more than anything! Seeing your take on a darker style is 💯💯💯
Pro tip if you want an awesome pair of black baggy cargo pants buy used camis (or reallly any military trousers) and dye them. It works really well. I felt really good not having to toss/donate any of my ABUs or my husbands' OCPs
I always wanted to make / modify my own clothes since I live near a bunch of thrift shops and I love putting weird outfits together but it always seemed very intimidating to me. but... this actually seems like something I can do! thank you :D!!
i’ve been resisting the pull of darker alt fashion in favor of building my sweet/pastel wardrobe, but the other day i saw a pair of black shoes that made me think “i’m ready” and then this video popped up. fate lol
Every video of yours is just such a bomb of inspiration and motivation to work on my own wardrobe,and I really don't mind if a lot of time passes between videos , but I'm super happy there's a new one. And congrats on 100K!! whoo! Fun fact ! Velvet just doesn't really leflect light (I think all the little cut fibers that make it soft eat it? I mean the light) and so it usually show's up darker on photo/video ,that's why your red TUK shoes film darker!
You should try a leather dye for the zipper next time. I've done it on a couple bags and it seems to hold up well, especially on the sides of the zipper.
YES YES YES idk how it happened but ive kind of switched over from being into very cutesy fashion to more alt stuff with still a hint of pink and kidcore and stuff so thank u for this vide!!!!!
This was a surprising, but welcome change. Congrats on 100,000+ subs! I feel inspired to pull out my wardrobe and do a refresh. In Japan, the onset of colder weather seems to be coming rather quickly, so I will want to pack up my summer clothes to make space for fall/winter.
I audibly gasped in excitement when I saw an upload from you today! This video is SO COOL!!! I love the care you took to put this all together, and I love the uniqueness of your personal style in this new wardrobe!!!
Agreed haha it was interesting to see most of her fashion was not music influenced like most alternative subculture fashion is Since it’s mostly just quirky non-music related graphics, definitely more egirl fashion
Absolutely love how you modified the shirts and the blazer, especially! I have a black denim jacket with a collection of enamel pins and badges on it, but I've been too lazy to add anything else, lol. It's absolutely one of my wardrobe staples in cool weather, though. Congrats on 100k! You deserve it for your excellent content!
This is actually really helpful for me, even though I don't want to dress darker, whatever style I want isn't something that actually exists and I wasn't sure how to get there. So watching your process on how you out together your style is really helpful.
This video was WELL worth the wait. You always put so much work into your videos and it really shows! It's so cool to see how little tweaks can make a huge difference in pretty much any garment. As always, your creativity has blown me away! Also I really want a pair of creepers now lol.
this video certainly came at just the right time - my non-EGL wardrobe is basically in tatters, so i've started on a new one focused on black with more punk and yami kawaii influences as well! perfect timing for me to indulge in some helpful tips, as i still only have two outfits at the moment. also the way you snuck that BTSBB blouse into your second outfit was so genius! 💝
I love how you're kinda doing the opposite of me. I currently still dress in different versions of goth but I've really been wanting to get into some softer looks, I've really been wanting to try out lolita, and maybe some fairy kei
Thank you so so much for this video. I've been trying to find more alternative diys or ideas on both YT and Pinterest. It seems like for people who actually want to make their own custom alt clothing, the idea barrel has run dry and it's the same old same old. This has given me a ton of ideas! I have a weird combination of clothing vibes; punk, gremlincore, and grandma, and sometimes it feels impossible to mesh them together lol
The most important thing I got out of this video is that you got everything within a year and not a week or a month. I have a bad habit of splurging and this helped a little.
It's so funny I'm seeing this video now, I've been strictly pink for a couple of years now but I'm starting to want to incorporate some black elements to my wardrobe to embrace my dark side! 🩷🖤🩷 Great video, explanations!
i guess u could say i have an 'alt' wardrobe, i really enjoyed these type of clothes and... i can fully relate to the oversized shirt plus plaid skirt combo hahah and the punk blazer turned out so pretty, i loved it so muchhhh 😍😍😍 u sure have a lot of talent
I do so enjoy your upcycling videos; everything turned out so awesome. I've been cross-stitching Sailor Moon patches for a denim jacket I'm planning on finding, but now I have more ideas to play with. ...and is that a Daria reference I see on one of the blazer patches? xD
hii, so i just found this video after more than 2 years and as a person interested in alt fashion myself, i'm literally obsessed with some of your outfits! i love the way you upcycled the clothes and styled them together. 💕 also gotta appreciate that jazmin bean patch! i absolutely love their music and they're honestly so underrated. 😭
This video had so much amazing content in one half hour!! Not only style tips but also alternative looks AND a heck ton of diy projects/tutorials?? I love it!
such a fun wardrobe refresh! and lots of inspo to be found; you've reminded me that i want to turn a pink denim jacket i have into a disney inspired punk-style jacket covered in patches and pins.
We love to see a fashion queen with DIY skills 🙌 living for the cute/alt moment you're creating 💖 thanks for sharing your crafting in a really easy format! 💞
This is soooo helpful! Thank you!!!! I've always loved to have an alt fashion wardrobe so I've been recklessly buying stuff online in the past, but now I can make things more organized so I know what the hell I'm doing
It's amazing how a few small changes can make such a big impact. I'll have to look at some of my unused items with new eyes and see how I can refresh them.
I think the confused outfit is my favorite 🤔 It really reminds me of a highschool boy in an anime with the blazer as the school uniform and the hoodie as the rebelion but make it shic I reallyyy like it! 😁
I LOVE these androgynous punky, gothy, cute looks you've crafted! I'm working on balancing masc and femme and spooky, preppy, and sweet elements in my outfits and wardrobe, too, so thank you for the inspiration and ideas! Love your wardrobe. :)
In high school I had a punk blazer from a thrifted red tartan blazer. Last week I started a new one using an air force jacket I found for a few dollars and I am obsessed.
Thanks for pointing out that personal styles can change! As a former 2000s emo who misses spikes and checks but dresses in femme florals I feel strangely seen haha
i've been waiting for this video!! I've been dressing in grunge/emoish/alt fashion since i was 10 (and i'm 24 now) lol, but this year i really decided to start building my dream goth wardrobe and I've been having so much fun slowly creating my own unique look. I loved this video so much! i love seeing people branch out into different looks! i also ADORE what you did with that blazer and it's now inspo for this plain black denim jacket I've had for 2 years
This is such a well-made video. DIY, lookbook/outfits, explanations, all very detailed, creative and understandable? But also fun to watch? hope this trends, because the work you put into this video is incredible. More people should see this video. Thank you for sharing!
As a punk i love to see what others make! Your jackets look amazing. I absolutly love your patches and it actully motivated me to start putting more patches on my pachtpants and batteljackets ^^
I just did a massive wardrobe cleanout. This is the first time I have really thought about what I like to wear and need in my wadrobe since middle school. My body and taste have changed so much in 10 years. I like bold colors and prints in tops, dresses, and skirts. I prefer neutral bottoms and basic tops. I like to layer a lot. I have been terrible about planning basics in the past. I get not fitting into one style. Some days I want to be very femine, but others I want to look like a 2000s middle school skater boy. I'm trying to keep my closet on the small side, pick natural fibers, and resist impulse decisions. I am all into 2nd hand shopping too. I'm not an alternative style person, but your videos are so applicable to anyone building/revamping a wardrobe.
Thank you! You published it at the perfect moment for me. I want to change my style to more cottagecore/bloomcore/goblincore with dark academia influence and it needs to be elegant, rather minimalist and appropriate for a a mother and corporate environment. Plus I love gothic style and horrors. How can you create a coherent style incorporating at least my favourite influences? Thanks to you now it seems more feasible.
I have several categories in my wardrobe. My Staples of clothing is a collared shirt with dress pants or jeans and leather shoes. The leather shoes work well with my more Gothic/dark academia outfits as well.

i’m surprised there’s not more comments on how gorgeous ur hair is like omg😩✨✨
I'm late to this video but I am obsessed with how the blazed turned out and had no idea how much I needed a punk blazer in my life.
I do so enjoy your upcycling videos; everything turned out so awesome. I've been cross-stitching Sailor Moon patches for a denim jacket I'm planning on finding, but now I have more ideas to play with.
...and is that a Daria reference I see on one of the blazer patches? xD
Daria and King of the Hill references on both the patches and pins, lol.
I also now miss my chunky leather creepers that I re-thrifted years back. I could have painted them.
@@TheStitchess Neat. I've been watching Daria again recently, so that one popped out. Lol
hii, so i just found this video after more than 2 years and as a person interested in alt fashion myself, i'm literally obsessed with some of your outfits! i love the way you upcycled the clothes and styled them together. 💕 also gotta appreciate that jazmin bean patch! i absolutely love their music and they're honestly so underrated. 😭
This video had so much amazing content in one half hour!! Not only style tips but also alternative looks AND a heck ton of diy projects/tutorials?? I love it!
such a fun wardrobe refresh! and lots of inspo to be found; you've reminded me that i want to turn a pink denim jacket i have into a disney inspired punk-style jacket covered in patches and pins.
We love to see a fashion queen with DIY skills 🙌 living for the cute/alt moment you're creating 💖 thanks for sharing your crafting in a really easy format! 💞
Me during COVID: regresses to sweatpants
The Stitches during COVID: creates and entire new sustainable wardrobe
This is soooo helpful! Thank you!!!!
I've always loved to have an alt fashion wardrobe so I've been recklessly buying stuff online in the past, but now I can make things more organized so I know what the hell I'm doing
i adore the ad break cut. every time im so pleased
It's amazing how a few small changes can make such a big impact. I'll have to look at some of my unused items with new eyes and see how I can refresh them.
I think the confused outfit is my favorite 🤔
It really reminds me of a highschool boy in an anime with the blazer as the school uniform and the hoodie as the rebelion but make it shic
I reallyyy like it! 😁
I LOVE these androgynous punky, gothy, cute looks you've crafted! I'm working on balancing masc and femme and spooky, preppy, and sweet elements in my outfits and wardrobe, too, so thank you for the inspiration and ideas! Love your wardrobe. :)
the diys are very inspiring (: a lot of love went into this vid!!
The Patch Blazer is literally the coolest thing I’ve ever seen! This is a great video, and I love your awesome style!
In high school I had a punk blazer from a thrifted red tartan blazer. Last week I started a new one using an air force jacket I found for a few dollars and I am obsessed.
The purple blazer outfit with the purple gingham pants works so well and I feel like the aesthetic is secretly just Anime Boy
Thanks for pointing out that personal styles can change! As a former 2000s emo who misses spikes and checks but dresses in femme florals I feel strangely seen haha
your hair looks h e a v e n l y 💜
Stitches rises from the abyss!! Missed u 💗
this was really helpful, as i'm starting to dress in new ways too!
20:32 I LOVE THE BLAZER!!!!!!! it's so cool omggggg
i've been waiting for this video!! I've been dressing in grunge/emoish/alt fashion since i was 10 (and i'm 24 now) lol, but this year i really decided to start building my dream goth wardrobe and I've been having so much fun slowly creating my own unique look. I loved this video so much! i love seeing people branch out into different looks! i also ADORE what you did with that blazer and it's now inspo for this plain black denim jacket I've had for 2 years
ahhh she’s back!!🥺🤍
I switch between alt/egirl/darkwear and cottagecore/farmcore regularly, this is sooo helpful
I just LOVE how the blazer turned out damnn
The teddy sweatshirt is so cool
This is such a well-made video. DIY, lookbook/outfits, explanations, all very detailed, creative and understandable? But also fun to watch? hope this trends, because the work you put into this video is incredible. More people should see this video.
Thank you for sharing!
Those lavender shoes are stunning!
so happy to see you back:) and this hairstyle suits you so much omg
So glad you aren’t giving up on your cute pastel style! It’s nice to have a variety of options to reflect different moods.
I love what you did with the black blazer. The final product looks amazing!
As a punk i love to see what others make! Your jackets look amazing. I absolutly love your patches and it actully motivated me to start putting more patches on my pachtpants and batteljackets ^^
Ok love the white fishnets over black tights!! This is really close to my personal style thanks for all the great tips!
I just did a massive wardrobe cleanout. This is the first time I have really thought about what I like to wear and need in my wadrobe since middle school. My body and taste have changed so much in 10 years. I like bold colors and prints in tops, dresses, and skirts. I prefer neutral bottoms and basic tops. I like to layer a lot. I have been terrible about planning basics in the past. I get not fitting into one style. Some days I want to be very femine, but others I want to look like a 2000s middle school skater boy.
I'm trying to keep my closet on the small side, pick natural fibers, and resist impulse decisions. I am all into 2nd hand shopping too. I'm not an alternative style person, but your videos are so applicable to anyone building/revamping a wardrobe.
The jacket from peoject 4 looks so cool!
Thank you! You published it at the perfect moment for me. I want to change my style to more cottagecore/bloomcore/goblincore with dark academia influence and it needs to be elegant, rather minimalist and appropriate for a a mother and corporate environment. Plus I love gothic style and horrors. How can you create a coherent style incorporating at least my favourite influences? Thanks to you now it seems more feasible.
I have several categories in my wardrobe. My Staples of clothing is a collared shirt with dress pants or jeans and leather shoes. The leather shoes work well with my more Gothic/dark academia outfits as well.
Nice Punk Rock MBA insert! 😂Love this video! You are a bevy of inspiration as always!
The grey top you have on is gorgeous
