I frequently would catch myself feeling so fat all the time. But I was just wearing clothes that were a size or 2 too small for me. And I was clinging on to them just bc 10 years ago they fit me properly lol. I finally just gave up and am starting to buy 2 sizes up and turns out I don't even feel fat anymore and feel more comfortable all around.
Styling and playing with sizes makes ALL the difference in the world. I regularly go up multiple sizes and it just looks so much better 🤍🤍 sizes are nothing but a number! 🤍
@@Gemaryermus it's definitely a mental struggle to accept sizes are really just a number when we have been so conditioned by society that you should be a certain size...but I'm trying to get past it! Here in Brazil it's getting ridiculous, the sizing in almost every store is pathetic. I'm not fat at all - I'm not skinny like a model or most instagram influencers, but I'm also not fat or even chubby by any normal standards. I actually have a body similar to yours in "volume", I should say, but you're all muscles, toned and athletic, and I'm all soft and squishy lol, but I'd reckon we are just about the same in size. Yet, when I buy clothes in the size LARGE, they are so tight and short. It's ridiculous. You have to be what I've always considered to be a size zero or a size 2, to wear a MEDIUM piece in most stores. Seriously its bulshit. Especially here in Brazil where women are not exaclty known to be skinny, we have huge asses and thighs lol. I don't know what these demented stores are thinking, seriously. Me pongo enojada con esto!! jajaja or, as you'd say in Brazil, "eu fico puta com isso"!! xD
You honestly look beautiful no matter what you wear. But whenever you wear gold jewellery you immediately turn into those paintings of an ancient Roman lady wearing white draped clothes and huge gold bracelets, curly ebony hair, pouring water from a jar and holding a bunch of grapes. Instant Roman goddess!!! It just suits you so much.
You definitely help me a lot in term of loving myself and dressing up. I used to be skinny and now I’m curvier. For someone who loves fashion, I struggled A LOT especially when clothes don’t fit the way they used to be on my body. You inspired me a lot, in term of taking care of my body, my sense of style and hair 💕you influenced me in a good way!
100% agree with the longer pants! I’m 5’9” and while I still love a culotte every once in a while I got to a point where all my pants were cropped and made my legs look stumpy?? I’ve replaced my jeans now and feel like a new woman.
My style has definitely changed, some of the things you've said I've definitely been there. Is so true, don't change your body to fit into that clothing🧡 we should all have that in mind all the time. As always love your content xo
Loved everything you said, I'm so glad I found your channel. And your hair is gorgeous, so glad you embrace it. We all need to stop fighting with our figures and hair and as you say embrace what's unique and special about us.💗💗💗
Love this video! I agree with everything! I’m really loving a more relaxed style right now. My style has changed within the last 4 years and from when I was younger. I deal with chronic pain everyday and I can’t stand being in tight clothes. I also started looking at men’s clothes and actually only buy men’s t-shirts now. After two foot surgeries and then pandemic, it’s kinda hard to get back into fitted clothes 😂. So, I’m loving the comfy style! 😊
I like these kind of videos. Maybe you could make more, for example, "10 things" style videos you made previously? Maybe more general lifestyle videos on your outlook on various topics? like fashion, education/studies, life in America (for foreigners).😉 Great that you emphasize acceptance overall. I wanted to write that you look very unique with your Cuban roots and should show it always! Read about color analysis. You'll know why cool tones and silver suit you. Remember that your tone doesn't change! Skin color does, never the type/undertone of your skin. I think your type is cool toned. Read on it more.
You should do a master class on how to de-clutter and simplify your closet! Like a step by step approach. I’d for sure join cuz I’m in dire need of a versatile/ simple wardrobe 😭
I just wanted to say that I’ve been watching your channel for a couple of years now and as I grow older, (26 in a few months) like many people my style evolves. In my ongoing evolution, I was diagnosed with OCD in my early 20s, and with dealing with it, I’ve found myself becoming nervous of certain colors or the clothing that I used to wear that was far more feminine than what I prefer now. In watching your content, I find myself relaxed and soothed because I feel like you’re the first and only person I’ve come across on TH-cam that understands minimalism in clothing and the balance of masculinity and femininity in a way that complements my own tastes. It means a lot to me that you express yourself here through style or through your vlogs because they’re relatable, and your color palette helps me discover my own and what brings me ease. I’m a firm believer that certain colors you vibe with really help with your personal energy. With that said, I just wanna thank you for being here because I learn a lot about myself and enjoy receiving the inspiration that I do from you as well. Thank you for sharing with us. Sending love and good vibes from Texas. 🤍
😩😭😭 Thank YOU so much love!! This means a lot. Comments like this truly make me appreciate this community. I’m glad that you can resonate with my videos. And I couldn’t have possibly said it any better myself... Colors that you vibe with, along with things in your daily life that make you feel at peace and bring you joy, truly help mold your personal style/energy. Sending love & good vibes right back at cha! 🤍 xx
Your new style (and the 'now' picture in the thumbnail) is giving BDE and I know for a fact I'm not the only one who thinks so. There's nothing like a woman in a wide leg pant.
The only thing I """""disagree"""""(multiple quotes bc it's your personal style and it's not my place to agree or disagree with it lol) is with the more "femenine" clothes. You look an absolute DREAM with those ruffles, floral prints, flowing dresses. ❤️
tailored loose clothing is such a subtle flex. and bonus points that you don't always have to conquer the food baby and things generally pulling and creasing in all the wrong places
Yes I did just watch this video TWICE...mind your business. Amazing video as usual there’s always something pretty calming and informative about your videos. Keep up the good work!
My dad had this silk polka dot shirt back in the days(90s)and I absolutely loved that shirt and stole it from him wore it to death, it was baggy and cool and I just tucked it in and rocked like I was some bad ass celebrity
i’m prob older than your avg subscriber bc i was in hs and college in the 90s. this style is so balanced, just as you said. we went through that skinny pants and oversized tops for awhile, but i am relieved to be back in this looser clothing moment. well done video!
Style change: I just went through my whole closet. I'm donating and I've bought more modest clothing. No more short shorts or clothes that show losts of skin. About 2yrs ago, I dressed for the summer heat and realized I no longer wanted to be showing all this gorgeous skin. So this year, begining of February, I starting buying modest peices to add to my new wardrobe. More comfort, more stylish and more me! 😊
When we talk investing we should also talk about fabric, stitching, tailoring ect. I have a wool knit long jacket from Forever21 that I bought 6 years ago for $50. Winter where I live can last around 6 months this item has literally paid for itself and the quality is amazing and I always get compliments.
Totally agree! Like I said in the video, I’m usually referring to quality when I talk about investing and it definitely doesn’t mean that you have to pay top dollar for things. 🤍🤍 Learning about fabrics has helped me a lot in determining what pieces will last a long time.
I’m slowly shifting my wardrobe to silk, wool, cashmere, bamboo, and cotton. This past weekend I bought a long wool skirt, two wool blazers, and a silk & wool blazer. I got them all while thrifting for only $14! I can’t believe I got a wool & silk blazer for $2.30, what a steal.
i love these sit down style videos. i'm kinda opposite in that i'm trying to move away from oversized clothes. i realized wearing oversized clothes was a response to catcalling and not feeling skinny enough or curvy enough to wear fitted clothes. very excited to switch things up this summer 💞
You look beautiful in every style, and pairing a tight-fitting top with fuller bottom, or vice versa, a fuller, oversized top with narrower or tighter bottom has been a style tip since probably the 1940's. When I was in college in 1975, I began to experiment with clothes and styles, and my most favorite outfit was a shimmery tight-fitting leotard (lowcut in front and back) and long tight sleeves with a very full maxi-length denim skirt with buttons down the front. It was just a great balance and I wore it constantly. It also had another "balance" tip of kind of fancy on top and casual on the bottom, or vice versa. It's just such a dichotomy, the viewer does a double-take. (I still have that leotard 46 years later and can and do still wear it!)
This was such an amazing vid!! It would be amazing for you to do a “longer pants” outfits/recommendations video for anyone who is interested. Personally, I am tall and feel your struggle with everything feeling too cropped ❤️
I struggle with this too....love longer length, flowy pants but in South Africa has such limited options. I'm 5.10, so cropped just makes me look like my pants don't fit and cuts my legs off
Loved this video. What a transformation! You’re kind of my muse now, not gonna lie. Those after pictures of your looks are just so incredible. You’re beautiful 💖
I've transitioned to looser clothing over the years especially pants. Maybe it's due to getting older and not wanting to fight with skin tight clothes anymore. My jeans too have become 100% cotton and wide leg. And I can't do low or mid rise anything. No matter how much i love a pair of bottoms(skirts,trousers, denim) if it's not high waisted, I'm not buying.
Love this video concept. It's always inspiring to see how people have changed in their style and also how it reflects their *growing* confidence. All of this and MORE. We love healthy evolution ✨
I am not the tallest person and wearing clothes for a tall person make me feel taller, I can't explain it. But I definitely feel more confident in an oversized fit 🖤🖤
i literally always hated really tight denim shorts and jeans but i wore it bc i had no choice and had to wear stuff like that as a teenager in school or to work when there was a uniform im 24 now and going into real estate and i cant wait to start styling baggy trousers for work and for going out its so easy to dress up and down you can make it feminine or edgy i also purchase mom jeans and a pair of those super baggy jeans that flair out a bit and im in love!!
Your style is extremely effortlessly chic. Definitely comes with time and age. My biggest thing over the pandemic is decluttering my closet. Have I worn this... if not it’s gone. And making more room for who I am now. Love style evolve videos... and agree with making staple investments over time. Getting rid of cheaper trendier items and not having 10 of the same thing. ❤️
Found your channel by chance and am loving all your content! I hv pretty much similar bodyshape to you and had always been very self-conscious of my broad shoulders and very athletic legs. Buying pants/jeans/skirts was also something i absolutely hated becos everything would fit at the hips but never cinched well at my waist. Somewhere at the back of my brain was the belief that highwaisted bottoms would look mumsy and aging, so I kept trying to fit into mid and lowrise bottoms which really looked SO SUCKY on me. Until recently... I took a bunch of my late mother-in-law's highwaisted pants home to be donated, but ended up altering almost every single piece to fit myself, all in an effort to save stuff belonging to her to remember her by. To my surprise, the altered pants fit and flattered my waist hips and legs beautifully! One of your videos talked abt how flattering pants which ballon out at the legs wud help balance out the proportions of broad-shouldered women. It was after watching that video that I suddenly realised that it was becos of the lack of this knowledge, i was frustrated for so many years! So thank you for being such an awesome coach and for sharing precious knowledge from your own personal experiences! U hv earned yourself a very loyal follower! I am now a pro at taking in larger sized bottoms lol
talking about investing in pieces, i really agree with that. heck i have clothes that's more than 10 years old. and you don't really have to break the bank for those pieces. you can definitely get them in thrift stores!
Dress should fit you, you should not try and fit into old clothes - absolutely ! But I don't paint my nails , I think it's unhealthy in the long term Used to wear only basic colours in my 20s. In my 30s I wear a lot of colours , pinks , reds, pistachio, etc.
My style changes almost per two months, I love too many different things. Still trying to find the balance between ultra feminine and my more masculine side
It's true we can cling to our old selves instead of embracing the new us. For me it took a while to transition from button up shirts to wearing an oversized one with a skin tight tank, now I can't enough of them and the artsy look it gives. Love your channel !
I've embraced my shape and my taste for casual clothes too through experimenting! I never fit the body shapes in the ads, so I always had a really hard time figuring out how to fit into things and make them look decent. No more! Just like you said, find the things that fit instead of trying to fit into them: this has been so transformative and encouraging for me 💚
Can u recommend any clothing sites an brands to me please. Also trying to find natural materials is harder than i thought. My skin has bin working against me. Fabrics have bin a complete irritants for me with my eczema. I’m literally suffering. I’ve bin living in the one pair of gray cotton sweats an white tea an a uniqlo fleece as of late. I was about ready to give up. I walked into zara yesterday an was overwhelmed. I felt like a fish out of water.
I’m very petite an over time I’ve just brought my wardrobe to nothing so i can start ova from scratch. An what you’re saying is what I’m trying to achieve. I’m 5”1 100lbs an i dont feel confident or good when get dressed anymore especially in form fitting clothing. It’s uncomfortable it’s not flattering on me. I’m struggling. I just want structure an comfort. An sizing is impossible for me. Thanks for the tips. I love neutrals.
I admire your sense of style so much, loved this video. For most of my life I really loved extremely feminine/romantic pieces but they never looked right on me. I've also spent the better part of a decade wearing mostly dresses. I think I've finally accepted that, while I adore feminine pieces, I prefer them on other people and don't feel comfortable in them. I've really started embracing my more masculine style recently and feel way more at home in my wardrobe.
I really like your videos. There's always a good vibe, good flow. Your editing is always good, and your personality is so natural. Congrats on the growth of your channel, it's greatly deserved. Thanks for being so consistent with your posts :)
I feel like my style depends on the phase I am in life. The more content and peaceful I am, the less things I need and actually care less of what I wear. It is still fun for me to enjoy fashion, but I don't follow trends, I buy very little and try to make the best of what I have. Like capsule wardrobe you can say. For this winter I rotated two pairs of jeans, leather skirt, 4-5 turtlenecks, one pair of boots, coat and one very long winter jacket.
i feel like there is a little bit of a contradiction going on with making an investment but also ackowledging that your body can change and the clothes won't fit anymore... so what happens with the investments? I think you have to also think about investing only in pieces that aren't totally dependent on you body size, like oversized stuff, outerwear, bags, shoes, jewelry, etc. AND you shouldn't buy too many items, so if you change size/ change style etc. you won't have to replave 100+ items, but maybe only 10-20.
If ya wanna keep good clothes, ya gotta be good to em. Learning n applying the BARE basics of tailoring, fixing ya clothes and proper clothing care goes SOOOO far in keeping the good pieces around for much longer.
Thanks for this video, very well thought, you have such a nice casual and sofisticated style! And I can totally relate about the curly hair, I could never ever see myself in frills, or any clothes with overcomplicated silhouettes.
The reason I watch everything you put out is bc you are me. Lol. I have watched my style evolve to a more sophisticated version of myself by mixing feminine and masculine, fitted with oversized and a pop of edge. Putting pieces together which juxtapose each other. My issue always has always been my height. I’m 5’4 and it makes me appear like a child. I have found a remedy for that in platform shoes😅. I feel soooo much more confident in my platforms. I’m an individual who likes comfort while being stylish (hence my name), and platforms/flatforms help me achieve both. Keep up the good work. Love your style.
Longer trousers have always been more flattering, stylish and chic than cropped trousers, or the frayed ones that end a little above ankle boots. For this reason, I've never jumped on the bandwaggon of the latter. I'm 5.8 too, and no matter what trends said, have always enjoyed wearing longer jeans/trousers - not the ones that drag on the floor and collect all the dirt, but the proper length. What matters is what looks great on our body and makes us feel good, stylish and comfortable, not what the trends 'dictate' :)
I loved this video. Tailoring is everything and it makes it so custom and looks more expensive. My style has definitely changed, I have gravitated more towards oversized things like blazers and shirts. I feel more comfortable in them. I’ve always hated tight clothes and I would fidget, pull and tug.
This was a really interesting video! I just moved from NY to Sydney (I've moved back and forth before) and I've noticed that every time I change city I go through a 6 to 12 mnth style evolution. It's quite fun but also frustrating because I no longer gravitate towards the pieces I have invested in. I also lost weight on this move (I'm going to blame stress) so half of my clothes don't fit. So my style is going through a bit of a forcible evolution this time.
I’m doing more of my current style as well! I’m petite (5’0), curvy and thick. Due to the pandemic, I managed to throw out a lot of my old clothes that I didn’t fit and began embracing clothes that suit my body now! Love this video and your content! ☺️

And I was clinging on to them just bc 10 years ago they fit me properly lol.

Skinny jeans never fit me. I live for wide leg pants
Oh, and I think loose clothes look, in fact, more elegant.
Thank you!! ☺️🤍🤍
It's the effortless chic look they carry, the drapery and not to mention the modesty.
tailoring is the thing for the future!!! only clothes that fit and suit you! & less clothes is more
I agree! 🤍

i literally always hated really tight denim shorts and jeans but i wore it bc i had no choice and had to wear stuff like that as a teenager in school or to work when there was a uniform im 24 now and going into real estate and i cant wait to start styling baggy trousers for work and for going out its so easy to dress up and down you can make it feminine or edgy i also purchase mom jeans and a pair of those super baggy jeans that flair out a bit and im in love!!
I’ve seen this top. I know this top. For the love of God, Gemary, where can I get this top?! Lol
😂 here's the link: bit.ly/3gKWTsW ❤️
@@Gemaryermus THANK YOU!!
how do you find pants long enough? I'm 5'7" and I don't want my pants to be cropped but everything ends up looking cropped on me haha
Your style is extremely effortlessly chic. Definitely comes with time and age. My biggest thing over the pandemic is decluttering my closet. Have I worn this... if not it’s gone. And making more room for who I am now. Love style evolve videos... and agree with making staple investments over time. Getting rid of cheaper trendier items and not having 10 of the same thing. ❤️
Do you know any petite bloggers with a similar style?
Found your channel by chance and am loving all your content! I hv pretty much similar bodyshape to you and had always been very self-conscious of my broad shoulders and very athletic legs. Buying pants/jeans/skirts was also something i absolutely hated becos everything would fit at the hips but never cinched well at my waist. Somewhere at the back of my brain was the belief that highwaisted bottoms would look mumsy and aging, so I kept trying to fit into mid and lowrise bottoms which really looked SO SUCKY on me. Until recently...
I took a bunch of my late mother-in-law's highwaisted pants home to be donated, but ended up altering almost every single piece to fit myself, all in an effort to save stuff belonging to her to remember her by. To my surprise, the altered pants fit and flattered my waist hips and legs beautifully! One of your videos talked abt how flattering pants which ballon out at the legs wud help balance out the proportions of broad-shouldered women. It was after watching that video that I suddenly realised that it was becos of the lack of this knowledge, i was frustrated for so many years! So thank you for being such an awesome coach and for sharing precious knowledge from your own personal experiences! U hv earned yourself a very loyal follower! I am now a pro at taking in larger sized bottoms lol
Yessss. We have similar body types and I love these styles on my body too!
talking about investing in pieces, i really agree with that. heck i have clothes that's more than 10 years old. and you don't really have to break the bank for those pieces. you can definitely get them in thrift stores!
Dress should fit you, you should not try and fit into old clothes - absolutely !
But I don't paint my nails , I think it's unhealthy in the long term
Used to wear only basic colours in my 20s. In my 30s I wear a lot of colours , pinks , reds, pistachio, etc.
I love your hair!!! I've got straight thick hair and it can be annoying to be honest, I've always thought curly hair was very sexy and chic
My style changes almost per two months, I love too many different things. Still trying to find the balance between ultra feminine and my more masculine side
It's true we can cling to our old selves instead of embracing the new us. For me it took a while to transition from button up shirts to wearing an oversized one with a skin tight tank, now I can't enough of them and the artsy look it gives. Love your channel !
Love your content. Very realistic and relatable. Glad to have found your channel.😊
*Please* do a video tutorial of both your warm and cool makeup looks. I am struggling with my undertone and could so so use that info and inspo
I've embraced my shape and my taste for casual clothes too through experimenting! I never fit the body shapes in the ads, so I always had a really hard time figuring out how to fit into things and make them look decent. No more! Just like you said, find the things that fit instead of trying to fit into them: this has been so transformative and encouraging for me 💚
Can u recommend any clothing sites an brands to me please. Also trying to find natural materials is harder than i thought. My skin has bin working against me. Fabrics have bin a complete irritants for me with my eczema. I’m literally suffering. I’ve bin living in the one pair of gray cotton sweats an white tea an a uniqlo fleece as of late. I was about ready to give up. I walked into zara yesterday an was overwhelmed. I felt like a fish out of water.
I dont understand why there are specific body type that isnt looking good in cropped jeans and I am that person hahah I always opt for longer ones
I’m very petite an over time I’ve just brought my wardrobe to nothing so i can start ova from scratch. An what you’re saying is what I’m trying to achieve. I’m 5”1 100lbs an i dont feel confident or good when get dressed anymore especially in form fitting clothing. It’s uncomfortable it’s not flattering on me. I’m struggling. I just want structure an comfort. An sizing is impossible for me. Thanks for the tips. I love neutrals.
I admire your sense of style so much, loved this video. For most of my life I really loved extremely feminine/romantic pieces but they never looked right on me. I've also spent the better part of a decade wearing mostly dresses. I think I've finally accepted that, while I adore feminine pieces, I prefer them on other people and don't feel comfortable in them. I've really started embracing my more masculine style recently and feel way more at home in my wardrobe.
Thank you love!! And glad you found a style that fits your vibe more 🤍🤍
I really like your videos. There's always a good vibe, good flow. Your editing is always good, and your personality is so natural. Congrats on the growth of your channel, it's greatly deserved. Thanks for being so consistent with your posts :)
Thank you so much for sticking around love 🤍🤍🤍🤍
This video was exactly what I needed to watch today! I loved seeing how your style has evolved. Feeling inspired ☺️
I feel like my style depends on the phase I am in life.
The more content and peaceful I am, the less things I need and actually care less of what I wear. It is still fun for me to enjoy fashion, but I don't follow trends, I buy very little and try to make the best of what I have. Like capsule wardrobe you can say. For this winter I rotated two pairs of jeans, leather skirt, 4-5 turtlenecks, one pair of boots, coat and one very long winter jacket.
I am a fellow curvy (for the Asian country I live in) and curly haired girl, and I've always loved your style! Thank you for this video 🥰
Where did you get the brown loose fitted crop tank top that you are wearing with the white trousers?
i feel like there is a little bit of a contradiction going on with making an investment but also ackowledging that your body can change and the clothes won't fit anymore... so what happens with the investments? I think you have to also think about investing only in pieces that aren't totally dependent on you body size, like oversized stuff, outerwear, bags, shoes, jewelry, etc. AND you shouldn't buy too many items, so if you change size/ change style etc. you won't have to replave 100+ items, but maybe only 10-20.
If ya wanna keep good clothes, ya gotta be good to em. Learning n applying the BARE basics of tailoring, fixing ya clothes and proper clothing care goes SOOOO far in keeping the good pieces around for much longer.

Love the head peeping from the corner 🌸
LOVE YOUR STYLING! So effortless and chic! It looks like you are truly having fun with your fashion! 😊
Thank you!! ☺️🤍
This is a very well thought out and comprehensive video. Well done.
Gemary is spot on! Less is more, quality is ways key in my book! Love!
🤍🤍🤍
I’d definitely say my style has changed in recent years. I’m experimenting a bit more now than I used to and trying to re learn what I like myself.
I really like you channel. Thank you!
where is the black bag from?
You’re such a style inspiration, I got an oversized blue button down because of you and I LOVE IT ☁️
Aww thank you love 🥺🤍
You remind me of Rosalia
Yo quiero esa transición en mi closet 🥺🥺🥺🥺
You look great and I love this new style. I love your message of evolving as our bodies change. Thank you.
Thank you love!! 🤍🤍
Love this video concept
You look fab! Love that you're rocking your natural curls. I need to get on that!
Thank you love!! ☺️🤍🤍
WHERE DO YOU FIND FULL LENGTH PANTS 😭😭 I hate cropped pants but that's all we can find, plus they look even shorter on my sky-high legs
Thanks for this video, very well thought, you have such a nice casual and sofisticated style! And I can totally relate about the curly hair, I could never ever see myself in frills, or any clothes with overcomplicated silhouettes.
🤍🤍🤍
I found you today. I have the same type of body and I can finally see how it works for myself.THANK YOU so much!!! :)
Beautiful style 💖
Hey Gemary, I❤️ur content....... please please include lil more colour in ur wardrobe .... emarald greenn...ur fav colour at least🤗
1:34 XDDD yea we did XD
The reason I watch everything you put out is bc you are me. Lol. I have watched my style evolve to a more sophisticated version of myself by mixing feminine and masculine, fitted with oversized and a pop of edge. Putting pieces together which juxtapose each other.
My issue always has always been my height. I’m 5’4 and it makes me appear like a child. I have found a remedy for that in platform shoes😅. I feel soooo much more confident in my platforms. I’m an individual who likes comfort while being stylish (hence my name), and platforms/flatforms help me achieve both. Keep up the good work. Love your style.
I love ur bag with chrome handle!!!!! Please link it....please
Have been loving u and ur videos ❤️❤️
love the menswear tip. love it for my body and to me, it actually looks sexier.
🤍🤍🤍
Longer trousers have always been more flattering, stylish and chic than cropped trousers, or the frayed ones that end a little above ankle boots. For this reason, I've never jumped on the bandwaggon of the latter. I'm 5.8 too, and no matter what trends said, have always enjoyed wearing longer jeans/trousers - not the ones that drag on the floor and collect all the dirt, but the proper length. What matters is what looks great on our body and makes us feel good, stylish and comfortable, not what the trends 'dictate' :)
❤❤❤❤❤☝😘😘😘😘😘
I loved this video. Tailoring is everything and it makes it so custom and looks more expensive. My style has definitely changed, I have gravitated more towards oversized things like blazers and shirts. I feel more comfortable in them. I’ve always hated tight clothes and I would fidget, pull and tug.
This was a really interesting video! I just moved from NY to Sydney (I've moved back and forth before) and I've noticed that every time I change city I go through a 6 to 12 mnth style evolution. It's quite fun but also frustrating because I no longer gravitate towards the pieces I have invested in. I also lost weight on this move (I'm going to blame stress) so half of my clothes don't fit. So my style is going through a bit of a forcible evolution this time.
I’m doing more of my current style as well! I’m petite (5’0), curvy and thick. Due to the pandemic, I managed to throw out a lot of my old clothes that I didn’t fit and began embracing clothes that suit my body now! Love this video and your content! ☺️
