Thanks so much for watching the video! 💕 Just wanted to apologise for being a negative nancy at the beginning of the video, I was down about my clothes not fitting like they used to but I'm feeling a bit better now. My mood improves drastically in the second section so skip to that if you're looking for something a bit more upbeat!
I also thought that I would always feel negatively about my body when I was in my 20's BUT genuinely as you get older it becomes easier to give less of a shit about everything, and now I'm in my 30s (with some work) I feel quite disassociated from my body, as in it can be however it is and it doesn't affect how I feel about myself much at all. I don't believe it will necessarily be with you forever!
your honesty at the beginning was why I loved this video!! no apology necessary! it's actually incredibly refreshing to see someone like you talking about your own body insecurities and how your body image has changed and what you are doing to adapt to that. this made the video better for me and i'm sure for others too, not worse at all!
What you call the "negative" bit at the beginning I think is just you being real, and I really appreciate it! You are just voicing something that I'm certain a lot of other people are feeling. Love this little update, giving me some real inspo for the next couple of months! xoxox
I've definitely not been feeling very positive in my style at the moment either - glad it's not just me. I think coming out of lockdown has created an extra level of anxiety as my style has not had the outside world to evolve in, just me in my flat. I feel as if I have completely forgot how to wear proper clothes :/
I’m a teenager and I’ve really been struggling with re-entry anxiety especially with the whole ‘hot girl summer’ toxicity. You are so helpful and beautiful and inspiring thank you
Oh gosh Lucy you were my style inspiration when I was 15, and you still are in my 20s. Honestly, since the pandemic forced positivity has gotten so cringe-worthy that it's refreshing to see another human being real about how they feel. Thank you for this video, especially the "negative nancy" bit that made me feel a lot less alone in those feelings and thoughts. Sending you lots of love from France!
Lucy, I loved this. And, this may mean nothing coming from a stranger from Canada, but throughout yours videos recently, I've thought that you've been looked as though you are thriving. We're all in this pandemic body slump, and I really appreciate you taking a moment to acknowledge that. Hearing you say how you feel, has helped me to believe that other people might see me as thriving too, despite how 'bleh' my self talk has been.Sending love
Oh my god so this is an older video and no one will likely see this, but today I finally found my most perfect pair of jeans and it was so emotional because I've been in your exact position for well over a year, and I completely get how demoralising it feels when nothing fits right and the shops don't carry anything in your style or fit and make you feel uncomfortable in your own clothes. A few months ago when jeans/bra shopping and feeling pretty low about myself in general I ended up crying in the changing room. BUT TODAY, I went shopping for some basic singlets and decided to try on jeans while I was there, and tried on almost 10 pairs before this one pair that is my dream pair of jeans, the style I've been searching for which is so rare in this cycle of trends atm, and my perfect amount of high-waisted and my perfect size. I was so overcome and emotional when looking at myself in them. This is my testament that jeans shopping is SHIT when you don't feel anything out there flatters you or caters to your body and style, but the absolute joy and relief when you do find that perfect pair, amazing
Honestly you’re not alone with the Jeans issues. They are horrid, nothing fits me how I want it to either and it’s so annoying. I’m quite happy with my body at the moment but trying to find jeans that fit nicely really tests that 🤦🏻♀️
I really needed to hear that chat at the beginning!! I’ve only just realized how different my body is now from when the panini press started and it’s honestly been taking a toll on me. None of my clothes fit the way they did before and it’s really been affecting how I feel in my body. Ironically, you’re someone whose body I look at and go “ooh I wish I looked like that!” and so it’s a nice reminder that everyone has their own stuff around their figure
honestly obsessed with your clothing videos. i don't have a huge interest in fashion/trends but i love watching your videos and hearing you talk about clothes and see how you piece items together and your decisions behind buying items of clothing. i find it really inspiring and it makes me excited to put together outfits from my own wardrobe (even if my style is vastly different to yours.) loved the video lucy!!!
This is the video I needed today! I am a fellow pear, very similar size to you & feel your struggle with the jeans. I pretty much only wear my Levi’s ribcage straight jeans as they are small enough round my waist and make my bum look amazing. Hope that helps!! Ps. For wardrobe strugs - Narrower hangers, mine work really well from primark (I know) - Just bought some clothes organisers and they have revolutionised my wardrobe and drawers!
Lucy hearing you talk about this was helpful. Yesterday I went out to buy a dress for a socially distant work thing and I definitely felt that bare-bones pressure. Before buying the dress I got I tried to borrow from friends and just couldn't find anything I liked on my body. Hearing someone else say it definitely made me feel better.
I can totally relate to the body issues you discuss in the beginning of the video. It is weird how when you spend so much time behind a screen (at least for me as a student) somehow you become more aware of everything beyond that. On the other side though it has made me realize that even as just a little pictogram on a Zoom call or a meeting people still consider me valuable. One thing that has especially been helping with negative thoughts is accepting them as they are and accepting that you can feel this way about your body. After that, trying to not replace the thoughts with an 'I look good,' because that is a huge step. Instead, trying to replace them with 'my body is the least interesting part about me'. It's been hard, but maybe this could help someone.
It's like you have read my mind, I have about three things I feel okay wearing... It's so sad to know I am not alone, feeling this uncomfortable with yourself is soul destroying and I don't feel better knowing others are feeling similar self-disappointment.
I love the coloring/editing of this video! and thank you for being up front about your current mindset around body/style - it's super helpful to be reminded of as a content consumer to shake up my assumption that everyone else is feeling confident and wonderful in their bodies and I'm the odd one out.
I've left teaching and am starting a new, office based job next month and I'm so excited to play with my aesthetic in a more professional setting. I've lived in "comfy and expendable" clothes for the past 8years because I needed a wardrobe that would withstand early childhood and all the mess that entails. I can't wait to wear collared shirts, dresses, trousers that aren't trackies!
Thanks for the honesty! I truly have the same issues with finding fitting pants and styles. Once, you mentioned that it’s difficult to edit when seeing yourself in a vlog a lot - and I resonated so much with that, as I’m so shocked to see myself in videos as well. It really helped me to get over it hearing someone else goes through the same thing. Every time you talk about these things, I can relate so much. So thank you for sharing ❤️
I have been there with deep shelves in wardrobe and I HIGHLY recommend a good set of baskets/organisers. Also there are those hanger extenders to help you hang multiple vests/ small items Also RUDE never ask people if they're pregnant unless it comes up in conversation!
I like that you are being so real at the beginning, I don't see it as "negative" but just talking about what many people (including me) are thinking about. I went through my wardrobe today and felt kind of lost, but seeing your video now is giving me some much needed inspiration! Also: Totally stealing your concept of gig jeans! 😊
Thank you soooo much for talking about this! I feel like our wardrobes are stuck in pre-covid time and so much of us and the world has changed but our style doesn't seem to reflect that. Like these clothes are old versions of us and it's hard to feel confident going back into the world in an old version of yourself. I haven't heard anyone voice it the way you did and it really spoke to me so thank you!
That’s disheartened feeling it so incredibly true. I have really struggled especially since there as so many things that I love that I no longer fit and I feel I’ve been left with a weird mix of mildly me things.
I can really relate with the first bit. I used to take a lot of photos for instagram but lately I've been feeling really yucky about my body. I honestly don't know that my body is actually any different, but the mindset is so powerful and for sure it affects how I feel in my clothes :(
I also have a small amount of hanging space and would recommend you switch to smaller hangers, the wooden ones you have are lovely but very bulky in the wardrobe and you can fit much more in with smaller hangers 😊
I don't know if you want tips that you didn't ask for, but Monki has a balloon leg jeans that I really like, it's the Taiki balloon model :) and I really loved this video! The way you consciously think about your own style is very inspiring
Lucy!! I feel you in the jeans department, I cannot tell people how many pairs of jeans I have tried in my lifetime because of the poor fit on my pear shape! The best jeans I have ever found are the New Look Tori enhance waist mom jeans, they are the most comfortable jeans I have found that fit my shape the best. I have tried all different prices, including Kate and Levi’s but in the end I just want to be comfortable. I will always want to wear more trendy jeans like straight legs but I just can’t find ones that work. You are not alone and I feel your pain! Loved this video just what I needed for some inspo 💖
You are speaking my style LANGUAGE in this video. I got some chunky chelsea boots this year too and am obsessed, I have a black midi tee dress with puff sleeves that I really want to wear with them which is so much like your sleeper dress, and the white linen dress with the burberry - unbelievable. Again, recently got a trench coat from depop and wearing it with an outfit and my chunky chelseas is such a mood. I also appreciate you being 100% real at the beginning, it's something so many of us go through and it's bound to be a thought in our heads after a year of lockdown and now we're coming out and wondering what to wear, our styles and our bodies have changed and there's a little dissonance there I think. We just have to navigate it in the best way we can,. Lots of love.
Clicking through to your old room tour made me realize how long I have been watching your videos!! I relate so much to your fashion/interiors journey and always appreciate how much thought you put into every piece. Hope you are not too down - u look gr8!
would love a spring styling video! i’m the type of person who only wears black so i’m trying to bring more colours into my wardrobe - cream, off white, pinks, greens.
Thanks so much for addressing that you're feeling weird and a bit disheartened about your body and subsequently your clothes - I feel the exact same and really resonated with everything you were saying. I feel like i've really outgrown my 2019 style and clothing & also haven't been feeling very positive in the way I look in my clothes at the moment. Your comment about everyone who has been shamed out of their body really struck me as it's literally so true. It can be so tiring sometimes. Loved the video & for the record you look great in all the outfits!
If you're feeling frustrated by the amount of hanging space you have, you might consider getting thinner hangers (like those velvet ones) the wood ones just take up so much space even though they are lovely
I loved hearing your "negative" bit at the beginning. It's so important to voice those feelings, especially on this kind of platform. Your feelings are valid and important. I've found that treating myself to a few, secondhand, new to me items that fit well on my body versus my body fitting into clothes boosts my confidence. Sending you love 💕
I appreciate your vulnerability. I’ve had several good crys lately because I too have an incredibly hard time finding jeans that fit, which really takes a toll on the way I see my body. I have a very small waist and a long torso so brands don’t make clothes that work for me. I completely understand feeling disheartened.
Thanks for sharing about how you are going through a phase of not feeling comfortable in your body. I'm really feeling this right now and if it wasn't for the season change and the turnover in wardrobe I might have donated everything! I know things will even out a bit.. Can't wait for the summer sunshine- it helps! Thanks for making your videos. You always inspire me 💖
I know it's easier for others to see our beauty, than it is to see the beauty in ourselves, but darlin' you're so gorgeous! That & Other Stories top - ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? Please try to not worry about being a negative nancy - you're experiencing the regular flow of life. We all experience dips. Nourishing my inner child by treating her with patience, love, and kindness is helping me a ton on the not so great days. Cheers bb. You're doing great. xx erin
yesterday i was searching for videos about changing up your wardrobe and went to rewatch your autumn vid and so this vid coming out today makes me so happy!!
Lucy! I wanted to thank you for being so honest in the opening of this video. Yesterday I had one of those hideous jean-shopping experiences (which should really have its own ™️ at this point), so watching you discuss feeling less-confident in your clothes post-lockdown has really soothed my soul. Definitely going to try those Arket jeans - they looked fantastic on you, and I'm definitely in the camp where a balloon cut would look like a straight cut on me! Thank you for a wonderful and inspiring video! 💖
Really appreciated the honesty at the beginning, have been feeling the exact same. Lockdown weight gain and also generally trying to accept that I'm never going to be as skinny as I was when I was 17/18 (bc I'm an adult now!!!!) have made me so uninspired with clothes. This vid gave me some hope! Love your style as always :)))
hi lucy, i live in England and have a small wardrobe - what I do is use a clip hanger for my vest tops, t-shirts - I clip about 4 on each one , therefore saving space on the hanging rail as well as the drawers (which is under my bed) xx
Your hair looks amazing! You look amazing! So inspired by your method and authenticity ❤ also i just got a pair of balloon jeans that do the same thing on me - really good tip
I can imagine wanting to share videos about clothes but feeling apprehensive about the bit where your body is in every shot while being insecure about your body- thank you for sharing those kinds of thoughts even though you could have easily said that's totally private. I think you're beautiful and a relatable inspiring woman but what's another virtual opinion gonna do, still lots of love
Love that Ganni dress! I'm totally with you on "I want to try wearing it in more casual settings"... I feel like I'm just totally not that girl who feels comfortable (or can pull off?) maxi-length floral dresses on every day occassions lol
Love these videos! I always feel so confused when we change seasons, like in my mind it's really difficult to switch up the wardrobe and start thinking up outfits so this is great inspiration, thank you!
Oh i just love those wardrobe videos, i get so inspired by your style Lucy. I'm from Brazil so we're in autumn now (of course, it's not cold like London haha). I'm glad UK is reopening and you guys can have fun outside this spring :)
Really appreciated your honesty at the start of the vid, I’ve felt so disconnected with my body and sense of style recently (wearing joggers for 200 days of the year will do that to you!) However the new inspiration section felt really fun and exciting, love the new format!!
If you want a more wearable variant of the white with black dots dress, maybe you can try to dye it black! That could be super cute xxx I loved the video💕
I would recommend you consider tailoring your jeans. I started doing it for my curves. Game changer. Plus gives you the power back. Companies aren't thinking of you specifically when making clothes. I say stop feeling bad there's nothing out there for you, get it made for you.
@@snuzzbobble yes! I just wanted to stop feeling like there was something wrong with me. And there isn't. Clothes are made to fit a general population. Alterations made me feel so powerful, like I'd cheated the system or something. 😂
Thank you for this video! 😊💕 I find it so refreshing how you honestly speak about your self esteem with body image when it comes to fashion! Most fashion videos can be inspiring but also a little discouraging and triggering with unrealistic expectations! This video was natural and so fun to watch! Love you Lucy! P.s that white corset top from &other stories was soooo flattering! I want one!
3 ปีที่แล้ว
Your hair looks great in the second clip 😍 Our styles are very different but I love the way you dress. I feel like you really know what suits you.
Can I suggest that you get some felt trays/ tubs to organise your jumpers into? I did that and it was such a game-changer. Ikea do one called Besta (I think) which is perfect for shelves etc.
Hello! Just wanted to let you know that I loved your video. I've been feeling similarly about my own body changes. It's so lovely to see someone with a body like mine experimenting and having fun with clothes. I'm inspired to try to do the same!
I love that the trend of everything beige and light pink is slowly going away rn. I like light colours though, and the light green, mint colour, which is becoming a trend is my absolute favourite.
This was such a lovely video! I appreciate your honesty in regards to clothing and your body, I find after over a year of lockdown, I feel similarly. I would love to see a clothing challenge video (similar to what Hannah did) where you wear all of your clothes without repeating items for one month. Just an idea! Keep doing what ya do! 👍
I've been feeling a little weird about my clothes lately too. What I've decided is to lean into and expand the area of my wardrobe that 1) my body feels comfy in (no squeezing, snug-ness - so relaxed fits, soft fabrics) and 2) that I feel most confident in. Right now that's dresses and A-line skirts. I've decided I'm not attempting jeans for the foreseeable future.
Loved the video! That wrap dress is so cute and suits you perfectly! I also can relate to the struggle of jeans not fitting me (or at least not comfortably) anymore. I have a pair that were supposed to be “mum jeans” but they look like skinny jeans on me now and it’s almost impossible to get over my bum. But oh well, we move
Thank you for your honesty in this video I really feel the same about my wardrobe, I just dont think many items of clothing is for me anymore or my style, im bored of my wardrobe and in need of a change I’m 30 this year and I feel like a lot of my clothes are little too young for my personality. I’ve outgrown most of it, I love mom jeans they are really good comfy jean. If you are looking for a different style Jean. Definitely struggling with finding a style I always wear the same style top and Jean combo 😩
It's crazy that we can be feeling one way about our body, and the rest of the world sees us completely differently. I was so surprised when you were saying you weren't feeling great about your body recently, because the whole way through this video all I could think was "God she is just looking STUNNING" like seriously you are looking so gorgeous, and maybe a strangers opinion doesn't mean anything (and I mean it shouldn't haha), but I just wanted to let you know. Also these outfits are fucking beautiful.
LUCY!!! Please try jeans from Lucy&Yak. They also have normaal colours, so don’t be alarmed!! They have tiny waists and wide hips! I have the same body type als you and i never buy jeans elsewhere! There Great!!! Please try them, you will thank me!!
Loved the video Lucy ❤ and you are right many women are feeling body conscious right now, I definitely am but I also think its curable with a new purchase or 2 hehe something that lifts your spirit right back up and...your hair colour is lovely!
also please don’t apologise for being ‘negative’- it’s so reassuring to know that even influencers i’ve always admired for looking so confident and put together also struggle the same way i do
I love your clothing videos! an off-white jean recommendation: armed angels! they do different styles in their "no dye" (or something) collection where they didn't use any dyes so the colour is just the beige-y creamy cotton colour. it's gorgeous! I have a similar body type to you and I got the mairaa mom jeans, they're super comfortable and have enough room at the thighs but then the waist is not too wide either edit: I forgot to mention but they're also a fair fashion brand! and the no dye stuff is especially sustainable because it saves like 90% of the water that's normally used in production (blew my mind when I read that)
Hi Lucy, I just want you to know that you look GREAT. In every piece of clothing you own and in every video you make. Like most women however I do understand how you feel. Just know there's absolutely no reason to feel bad about the way you look. Looking forward to more videos in which you strut around in cute clothes!
hey lucy! great video, it was really inspiring as always ☺️ I got really excited when you mentioned your pinterest board but I couldn't find it linked in the description (maybe I'm just stupid lol)
Thanks so much for watching the video! 💕 Just wanted to apologise for being a negative nancy at the beginning of the video, I was down about my clothes not fitting like they used to but I'm feeling a bit better now. My mood improves drastically in the second section so skip to that if you're looking for something a bit more upbeat!
completely understand! glad you're feeling better! any chance you could link your pinterest?
I also thought that I would always feel negatively about my body when I was in my 20's BUT genuinely as you get older it becomes easier to give less of a shit about everything, and now I'm in my 30s (with some work) I feel quite disassociated from my body, as in it can be however it is and it doesn't affect how I feel about myself much at all. I don't believe it will necessarily be with you forever!
u don't have to apologize babe we have all felt this way at some point 💕
Your honesty is amazing, keep being yourself ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for being honest! I have put on 2 dress sizes over lockdown and although I don’t mind I do feel like all my clothes look horrendous now 😔
You’re definitely not alone there!

Something that really helped me feel better in my clothes was learning to sew!!! I would love to see lucy learning to sew 😍

I feel like i've really outgrown my 2019 style and clothing & also haven't been feeling very positive in the way I look in my clothes at the moment. Your comment about everyone who has been shamed out of their body really struck me as it's literally so true. It can be so tiring sometimes. Loved the video & for the record you look great in all the outfits!
If you're feeling frustrated by the amount of hanging space you have, you might consider getting thinner hangers (like those velvet ones) the wood ones just take up so much space even though they are lovely
I loved hearing your "negative" bit at the beginning. It's so important to voice those feelings, especially on this kind of platform. Your feelings are valid and important. I've found that treating myself to a few, secondhand, new to me items that fit well on my body versus my body fitting into clothes boosts my confidence. Sending you love 💕
I appreciate your vulnerability. I’ve had several good crys lately because I too have an incredibly hard time finding jeans that fit, which really takes a toll on the way I see my body. I have a very small waist and a long torso so brands don’t make clothes that work for me. I completely understand feeling disheartened.
Thanks for sharing about how you are going through a phase of not feeling comfortable in your body. I'm really feeling this right now and if it wasn't for the season change and the turnover in wardrobe I might have donated everything! I know things will even out a bit.. Can't wait for the summer sunshine- it helps! Thanks for making your videos. You always inspire me 💖
Really liked this style of video! And appreciated the honesty at the start of the video too. You're right - a lot of us are feeling that way! ❤️
I know it's easier for others to see our beauty, than it is to see the beauty in ourselves, but darlin' you're so gorgeous! That & Other Stories top - ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? Please try to not worry about being a negative nancy - you're experiencing the regular flow of life. We all experience dips. Nourishing my inner child by treating her with patience, love, and kindness is helping me a ton on the not so great days. Cheers bb. You're doing great. xx erin
yesterday i was searching for videos about changing up your wardrobe and went to rewatch your autumn vid and so this vid coming out today makes me so happy!!
Those little crochet shorts are the cutest. I am feeling very inspired to make some for myself!
Lucy! I wanted to thank you for being so honest in the opening of this video. Yesterday I had one of those hideous jean-shopping experiences (which should really have its own ™️ at this point), so watching you discuss feeling less-confident in your clothes post-lockdown has really soothed my soul. Definitely going to try those Arket jeans - they looked fantastic on you, and I'm definitely in the camp where a balloon cut would look like a straight cut on me!
Thank you for a wonderful and inspiring video! 💖
Really appreciated the honesty at the beginning, have been feeling the exact same. Lockdown weight gain and also generally trying to accept that I'm never going to be as skinny as I was when I was 17/18 (bc I'm an adult now!!!!) have made me so uninspired with clothes. This vid gave me some hope! Love your style as always :)))
I love this! Would love to see a spring styling video :)
Thats lovely!! You could do one like the 30 outfits for fall, but for spring 🥰
So glad you commented on what you were wearing! It looks so so good on you and I love the way you styled it all together!
hi lucy, i live in England and have a small wardrobe - what I do is use a clip hanger for my vest tops, t-shirts - I clip about 4 on each one , therefore saving space on the hanging rail as well as the drawers (which is under my bed) xx
Spring styling video pleeeease!!
Adored this! Your style is second to none💜💜💜
I think the mid rise looks great on you! I’m a pear shape too and find it much easier to find mid rise jeans that fit me than high rise
This was fun! New space looks great & so many great pieces in your selection... hope you take them all out for a spin & feel good in them!
Your hair looks amazing! You look amazing! So inspired by your method and authenticity ❤ also i just got a pair of balloon jeans that do the same thing on me - really good tip
I can imagine wanting to share videos about clothes but feeling apprehensive about the bit where your body is in every shot while being insecure about your body- thank you for sharing those kinds of thoughts even though you could have easily said that's totally private. I think you're beautiful and a relatable inspiring woman but what's another virtual opinion gonna do, still lots of love
Love that Ganni dress! I'm totally with you on "I want to try wearing it in more casual settings"... I feel like I'm just totally not that girl who feels comfortable (or can pull off?) maxi-length floral dresses on every day occassions lol
Love these videos! I always feel so confused when we change seasons, like in my mind it's really difficult to switch up the wardrobe and start thinking up outfits so this is great inspiration, thank you!
Oh i just love those wardrobe videos, i get so inspired by your style Lucy. I'm from Brazil so we're in autumn now (of course, it's not cold like London haha). I'm glad UK is reopening and you guys can have fun outside this spring :)
Really appreciated your honesty at the start of the vid, I’ve felt so disconnected with my body and sense of style recently (wearing joggers for 200 days of the year will do that to you!)
However the new inspiration section felt really fun and exciting, love the new format!!
If you want a more wearable variant of the white with black dots dress, maybe you can try to dye it black! That could be super cute xxx I loved the video💕
I always find myself nodding along while you’re talking as if I’m in the room with you lol
Love this style of content! Please do more! Also would love a spring styling video, especially including jewelry!
I would recommend you consider tailoring your jeans. I started doing it for my curves. Game changer. Plus gives you the power back. Companies aren't thinking of you specifically when making clothes. I say stop feeling bad there's nothing out there for you, get it made for you.
this was a game changer for me! I got a pair of jeans that I really liked, that fit me around the hips, then got them altered to fit my waist
@@snuzzbobble yes! I just wanted to stop feeling like there was something wrong with me. And there isn't. Clothes are made to fit a general population. Alterations made me feel so powerful, like I'd cheated the system or something. 😂
@@Nicole-zy4vb i apologize. I commented before i got to that part. I feel passionately about alterations that's why i commented early
Thank you for this video! 😊💕 I find it so refreshing how you honestly speak about your self esteem with body image when it comes to fashion! Most fashion videos can be inspiring but also a little discouraging and triggering with unrealistic expectations! This video was natural and so fun to watch! Love you Lucy!
P.s that white corset top from &other stories was soooo flattering! I want one!
Your hair looks great in the second clip 😍
Our styles are very different but I love the way you dress. I feel like you really know what suits you.
Can I suggest that you get some felt trays/ tubs to organise your jumpers into? I did that and it was such a game-changer. Ikea do one called Besta (I think) which is perfect for shelves etc.
omg same with the jeans issue same same same it succkkksss
Hello! Just wanted to let you know that I loved your video. I've been feeling similarly about my own body changes. It's so lovely to see someone with a body like mine experimenting and having fun with clothes. I'm inspired to try to do the same!
I love that the trend of everything beige and light pink is slowly going away rn. I like light colours though, and the light green, mint colour, which is becoming a trend is my absolute favourite.
The sentence printed on the Sézane t-shirt says "Une fille de février" = a February girl ;)
This was such a lovely video! I appreciate your honesty in regards to clothing and your body, I find after over a year of lockdown, I feel similarly. I would love to see a clothing challenge video (similar to what Hannah did) where you wear all of your clothes without repeating items for one month. Just an idea! Keep doing what ya do! 👍
your videos have always been so relaxing to me, thank you for continuing to put out great content!
I've been feeling a little weird about my clothes lately too. What I've decided is to lean into and expand the area of my wardrobe that 1) my body feels comfy in (no squeezing, snug-ness - so relaxed fits, soft fabrics) and 2) that I feel most confident in. Right now that's dresses and A-line skirts. I've decided I'm not attempting jeans for the foreseeable future.
Loved the video! That wrap dress is so cute and suits you perfectly! I also can relate to the struggle of jeans not fitting me (or at least not comfortably) anymore. I have a pair that were supposed to be “mum jeans” but they look like skinny jeans on me now and it’s almost impossible to get over my bum. But oh well, we move
Obsessed with your videos videos like this one!! Love your style guides/tours so much
Thank you for your honesty in this video I really feel the same about my wardrobe, I just dont think many items of clothing is for me anymore or my style, im bored of my wardrobe and in need of a change I’m 30 this year and I feel like a lot of my clothes are little too young for my personality. I’ve outgrown most of it, I love mom jeans they are really good comfy jean. If you are looking for a different style Jean. Definitely struggling with finding a style I always wear the same style top and Jean combo 😩
It's crazy that we can be feeling one way about our body, and the rest of the world sees us completely differently. I was so surprised when you were saying you weren't feeling great about your body recently, because the whole way through this video all I could think was "God she is just looking STUNNING" like seriously you are looking so gorgeous, and maybe a strangers opinion doesn't mean anything (and I mean it shouldn't haha), but I just wanted to let you know. Also these outfits are fucking beautiful.
You could try dyeing that shirred skirt if you don't like how light it is! Love the sage green shirt
OOF so with you as far as negative body image recently and weight gain (in my case pandemic + new health issues). We are definitely not alone!
LUCY!!! Please try jeans from Lucy&Yak. They also have normaal colours, so don’t be alarmed!! They have tiny waists and wide hips! I have the same body type als you and i never buy jeans elsewhere! There Great!!! Please try them, you will thank me!!
Loved the video Lucy ❤ and you are right many women are feeling body conscious right now, I definitely am but I also think its curable with a new purchase or 2 hehe something that lifts your spirit right back up and...your hair colour is lovely!
oh my god the JEANS thing is actually going to kill me why is it so hard to find jeans that fit???
also please don’t apologise for being ‘negative’- it’s so reassuring to know that even influencers i’ve always admired for looking so confident and put together also struggle the same way i do
With the spotty dress, I'd recommend looking at options for dying it. Maybe you'll like it more if it was black or navy? :)
Adore your video!! I love your style content and am always happy when you do a fashion video.
Also having gained weight and feeling abit funny about my wardrobe I feel inspired by your vid would love a spring style one too! Xxx
Absolutely love the &Other Stories top on you! Just ordered it for myself as well, so lucky it isn’t sold out yet in the Netherlands!!
I love your clothing videos! an off-white jean recommendation: armed angels! they do different styles in their "no dye" (or something) collection where they didn't use any dyes so the colour is just the beige-y creamy cotton colour. it's gorgeous! I have a similar body type to you and I got the mairaa mom jeans, they're super comfortable and have enough room at the thighs but then the waist is not too wide either
edit: I forgot to mention but they're also a fair fashion brand! and the no dye stuff is especially sustainable because it saves like 90% of the water that's normally used in production (blew my mind when I read that)
I love your white sweater so much
Hi Lucy, I just want you to know that you look GREAT. In every piece of clothing you own and in every video you make. Like most women however I do understand how you feel. Just know there's absolutely no reason to feel bad about the way you look. Looking forward to more videos in which you strut around in cute clothes!
Would love a video where you take us shopping with you in London!
I think you have a wonderful body shape and such a cute personality
Your hair looks so amazing in the second part of the video 😍😍
Your brows are looking incredible!
hey lucy! great video, it was really inspiring as always ☺️ I got really excited when you mentioned your pinterest board but I couldn't find it linked in the description (maybe I'm just stupid lol)
Hi Lucy, how would you say the white/purple floral Ganni dress fits? I love these types of videos, I get so much inspiration 💕
The mid rise jeans look gorg on you!!
I would love a style video! Also where are your cycle shorts from? Im trying to find a good basic pair that arent too long
If you’re happy with the high street, I would suggest trying M&S for jeans for comfort and fit.
I was feeling the same about jeans until I stole two pair of my husband’s jeans. They fit amazing and have real pockets.
Where are these really cool knitted shorts from? They look amazing!
I feel ya with those weekday jeans. I see ASOS now have an “ hourglass” range of jeans with more room in the hips
I’ve tried four pairs and they all fit so differently (and none very well on me at least.) if you try them, order a range of sizes! X
