In Germany it's more like: you are who you are... I like that statement.
That's actually been true for a lot of my students (I teach in a small southern town) who go to Germany and feel - for the first time - that they can be who they really are.
For scarves, take shower curtain rings and put them onto hangers, then feed the scarves through the rings. You can then hang the hanger in your closet or on the back of a door. Hope that helps!!
*scarfs
*scarves :) Actually both spellings are correct
Buy one of those scarf things from Ikea.
Thatgaltabitha I bought hook racks as in double hooks on boards (coat racks?). I purchased four lots and put them behind my door unevenly spaced therefore having 32 hooks which I can double or triple my scarves. Works well for me 😀
Fold them up get a storage case put them neatly in it moths can’t get to them and make holes in them
Schlaghosen (Hosen mit weiterem Bein) waren bei uns Anfang 2000 angesagt. Um 2005 (Emo-Zeit) kamen engere Hosen und plötzlich in den folgenden Jahren viele knall bunte Jeans.
Das ist so die Modeentwicklung aus Sicht eines 2000er Teens in Deutschland (NRW).
Es gibt aber immer noch Menschen, die diese hässlichen Schlaghosen tragen, denn viele "tragen" ihre Sachen auf....modisch gesehen, haben viele in Deutschland echt keinen Geschmack. In Skandinavien sind die Menschen viel modischer.
Ich war noch nie in Skandinavien, deswegen kann ich dazu nix sagen.
Schlaghosen sehe ich heutzutage eigentlich nur noch bei Goths. Da waren die aber auch nie aus der Mode xD
Da hast du was vergessen. In den 2000ern. Waren auch bunte leggings, Shorts mit Leggings, schwarzer Nagellack, blauer Lidschatten, Balerinas, Chucks, Ice Watch, Nietengürtel, Haareifen mit Schleifchen oder Blümchen, Gestreifte Schals in schwarz mit einer anderen Farbe, Polunder, Kniestrümpfe zu Röcken, Playboy-Schmuck und Playboy-Bekleidung, Mini Handtaschen, knall bunt lackierte Fingernägel, dünne Augenbrauen, Gebräunte Haut, College Jacken und Jeansröcke sehr in
Ne vergessen nicht. Ich wollte mich lediglich nur auf die 2 Teile beziehen, die sie genannt hat.
_modisch gesehen, haben viele in Deutschland echt keinen Geschmack. In Skandinavien sind die Menschen viel modischer._
Hah. Von mir aus gesehen ist es eher, ich habe Geschmack, deswegen kann ich Mode nicht ausstehen - wer auch immer Mode bestimmt, hat keinen Geschmack.
Im Ernst, bei sehr vielen Mode-Erscheinungen kann ich nur mit dem Kopf schütteln und sagen, dass das aus meiner Sicht einfach nur scheusslich aussieht. Ich erinnere mich an ein Jahr, als ich einen neuen Anorak haben wollte, und alles, was ich finden konnte, sah aus, wie für die Bundeswehr ... keine Farbe ausser oliv. Ich hätte wahrscheinlich mehr Toleranz für Mode, wenn die Welt mehr Toleranz hätte für Leute, denen die aktuelle Mode nicht zusagt. Aber ich habe nichts übrig für Uniformen.
Nur mal als Beispiel: Das letzte Mal, dass ich mit Anzug und Schlips herumgelaufen bin, war um 1980 ... in meiner Zeit als Wehrpflichtiger.
Dear Dana,
I'm french and have actually lived around a year in Germany. I have to say, one of the thing in my clothes that has changed is ... what to wearing at a party !
One time, I arrived at the party wearing a dress (pretty normal in France), everyone was looking at me like " ooh, you look so chic !" (and of course, all the other girls were wearing a shirt/tshirt with a jean) well I have to say : I didn't feel comfortable at all and from that time, I'm not wearing any dress anymore at german parties ! haha :D
depends on where ya going to :)
The German life seems a lot more logical and healthier :)
the *european* life in general
hah thats what we want you to think!
I think it's not just because of moving between the US and Germany but also the time that has passed. You are now 9 years older and you changed your look. Self- esteem (bras) is also easier to achieve when you are older.
I recently have found some pictures of myself from ca. 2004 and my "style" hasn't changed that much and I don't care about it.
Been in Germany for 12 years. No it is not just growing older. Germans really don't care about superficial body differences. Lots of people here with crooked teeth for example and the dentists are more or less free here. They simply just don't care as much as in the USA. Life here is much less superficial. The people care more about who you are than what you have or what you wear. You can even get into trouble if your possessions are seen as showing off. Having a great car here will get people looking down on you as a snob.
no i do think its manly because of the country. Push ups arent way less common here
I think your skinny jeans have less to do with being in Europe and more to do with styles changing while you were away. Most women about 35 and younger in the US wear skinny jeans, and that only really became the style in 2009 and 2010.
Julia K agree. Styles just changed with time. I live by San Francisco and skinny jeans are definitely the most popular denim style. Not just for under 35 either. Might be because people seem to be, at least on average, much smaller than typical USA. Veggies and fruit are cheap and walking a lot is mandatory.
For scarves separate them out by season like lighter ones for spring/summer and heavier ones for fall/winter. Change out the scarves with the seasons so you're not overwhelmed with the amount of choice you have. Plus after 6 months seeing stuff you haven't seen for awhile is always fun! The Komplement hanger from Ikea listed in a comment is also awesome! I use it for belts and scarves.
I just moved from the US to Germany in April and have found that the style here just isn't 'me' enough. I really haven't found a store I love yet or anything that I can't live with out. But it's ok, I shipped and packed my entire wardrobe here--It'll keep me tithed over until I can go back to the States and go shopping.
Also the selection of bra sizes here is just so much better! For someone with an odd size buying bras in the states was always a nightmare. I couldn't find an affordable bra at Target. Victoria's Secret employees would flat out tell me that they didn't have anything that would fit me. I would have to get speciality ones from Nordstroms or an independent bra shop and spend $60 or more on one bra that wasn't very pretty. But here Hunkemöller sells my size for 30Euros and they're pretty to boot!
OMG! I am SO happy to have stumbled across your channel! I've just moved here to Germany from Asia in September and it's so nice to find someone else who has also moved from a different culture & to hear your experiences :)
I live in Florida and all anyone wears is skinny jeans and leggings and colorful pants. I literally had to go to the thrift store to find boot cut jeans since I had worn or owned a pair in atleast 5 years I would have totally rocked leggings all the time 10 years ago when I was in college if they had been a thing back then.
I love your expressiveness and it's great to watch you while you speak because there's so many emotions that you transmit! Your eyes shine, you glow and smile in a friendly way...I appreciate that a lot in people. Peace
Ich habe nur einen Schal, den ich nur im tiefsten Winter trage. Dafür habe ich 4 oder 5 paar Handschuhe.
You make Germany look like Greenland:)
Alexander Schikor why? Because she says it so cold?
Well as I understand it she is from a warm climate area in the US so I'm guessing its more cold in Northern Europe then the State she is from, well at least its not as cold as it can get here in Scandinavia :)
DanishArtist yes North USA is like Austrian climate. Germany is more like Canada. Norway is like Alaska Haha
No, that was not what I meant and its way off, but I guess what I wroth could be misunderstood and I'll leave it at that before more misunderstand happens.
Come to Toronto or Montreal in winter--colder than anywhere in Europe outside of mid-northern Scandanavia (outside of where anyone lives) or Russia.
I wear my scarf Dr. Who style ;)
Aderianu Would you like a jellie babie?
You are A doctor. I am THE doctor, the definite article.
Brigadier: Now Dr you have finished with your wardrobe...
Want a jelly baby?
Thank you :D

I wear mine Sherlock style ;)
Wow people, I'm really impressed by the amount of different clever ways to sort scarves you came up with. Thanx.
The thing with the pants I find interesting. In Italy, where I used to live and my sisters still do, everyone and I mean EVERYONE now wears skinny jeans. Here in Germany it's similar, so I kind of assumed it was a... worldwide trend? For some reason? I thought, well fashion comes from the US usually so I guess they wear those too... And since I don't like them very much, I'm always the odd one out xD
No way, a lot of people in Germany wear these "Schlaghosen". ;)
Skinny jeans on boys look so weird! I don't like at all^^
I thought so too, especially the colorful pants and leggins, but I live in california, so...
Actually in Hungary everybody wears skinny jeans and super skinny jeans (when my bf bought his first pair his parents called them thights:DD) so I assumed as well that it's worldwide. And Ray, I don't know where are you from but since everything comes from the US, we, gullible Europeans, just think that if it's a trend in Europe it must come from the US.
Speaking from the smaller cities of Oregon. Skinny jeans have not taken over but leggings are everywhere. Call me old fashioned but I'll stick to my boot cut jeans for now. Comfort over style.
I think this just mostly has to do with the changing times. Scarves, leggings, skinny jeans...definitely all popular things in the States. Key components of my wardrobe lol.
You‘re such an inspiring and happy person❤️
I like your videos soo much! I appreciate the effort you put in them😇
Liebe Grüße aus Köööln😊
Jana BE Köööln!! Et küt wie et küt! LOL ❤
Das perfekte dinne
Dana, you're such a lovely person, your voice, your smile and how you speak!!
Really like your videos very much! Hope you have a great sunday😊
After moving to Korea my necklines rose substantially! Low cut stuff isn't really appropriate here. Also I started to wear a lot more oversized stuff because... Well, it's the style here and also super duper comfy!
I want to see!!!
Skinny Jeans are definitely a thing in the US and have been for years...
That's what she says.
Yes but she implied that they weren't as common as flared pants and that hasn't been my observation.
Yeah I agree. I haven't seen flared pants in years here.
She might have only seen flares because she was in Florida...not a fashionable place by any means ;)
I live in the north west... lots of boot cut pants. Though skinny jeans started becoming trendy in more recent years.
After living in France, I can say that I've become a lot more 'dressed up' in my life; I only wear dresses and I wear heels a lot more often, and I never wear 'indoor clothes' (like pyjamas, etc) outdoors.
Your hair looks soo pretty in this video 💘
You can get scarf organizers from ikea 😊 m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/art/90327334/
YES! i wanted to come link this as well! They work perfectly
Don't trade with nazis!
Not only Ikea, I found some fancier ones (they have a velvet coating and are more stable) at Woolworth in Germany. They have different styles, too.
_ - RessiX - _
I am German
And germany isn't a Nazi Country
Nuria Bam Ich schätzend mal er/sie/es zielt mit seiner "Empfehlung" nicht darauf ab bei Deutschen zu kaufen, weil die alle Nazis sind, sondern um IKEA. Der Gründer Ingmar Kamprad hat in seiner Jugend, also vor 60-70 Jahren, mit der Nazi-Ideologie sympathisiert. Traurig, aber hat nichts mit der aktuellen Unternehmensführung von IKEA zu tun. Die kann man für genug andere Dinge kritisieren, wenn man das nötig hat.
your brown shiny hair looks so beautiful here :)
I'm moving from Canada to Germany in March and your videos are helping me preparing myself :')
I bought a cheap pack of shower curtain rings and hung them on a sturdy clothes hanger to organize my scarves. Works pretty well!
Aside from the different climate necessities I do feel that most of those changes may have to do more with you getting more confident and comfortable with yourself (i.e. getting.. ehm... older) rather than differences between Germany and the US.
IrianGaming exactly!!
Agree. I think I'm about the same age or a little younger than Dana. I've only ever lived in different parts of Illinois, USA and my style has changed in most of the same ways.
I agree, also I think styles have changed here in the US too. For example, 9 years ago I would have worn bootcut jeans here in the US but now I only ever wear skinny jeans (sometimes) or leggings (most of the time). Also, people here in the US (mostly young people) don't wear push-up bras near as much anymore. I only wear bralettes or no bra anymore, but 9 years ago I only wore push-up bras.
Ali Hofer what exactly is a booty cut pant??
Not booty, boot. They get wider at the bottom, to fit over boots
That voice, though! So American. Not in a bad way, but sooooo American.
Pillecukor Ka | yes, she has a super American voice. High-pitched.
Pillecukor Ka Yeah typical American voice that goes quack quack quack
It is genetics. It isn't being American. If most of the women in your family have a high pitched voice you'll have a high pitched voice.
I'm from the States and my voice is not high pitched. Also typically the people in Fort Lauderdale don't have a high pitched voice. I can't stand listening to high pitched voice for a long period of time.
Jessica Ely squeaky voiced Americans.. Like chipmunks
I also meant the way of speaking, smiling from beginning 'till the end nonstop. In ALL her videos, so American.
I moved from my native Texas to Wisconsin, about a year-and-a-half ago. I also experienced a wardrobe change. More super warm coats, instead of light jackets, more scarves, (shower rings on a hanger help to organize them, I found,) more hats, gloves, thick leggings, thick socks, boots, etc. I used to wear flip-flops, tank tops, short-shorts, jeans. Now all my winter gear is layers upon layers of warmth. Love your hair in this video, it's beautiful! :)
Seems to me like 'you are who you are' fits perfectly to you, and you feel good beeing here in Germany. I'm happy (and a liitle proud) you can experience this here. Nice video!
German women wear scarfs with everything at every time. yes, every time!
gwaptiva thank you! I thought I’m the only one having a huge scarf collection and want to wear them all the time everytime, no matter if winter or summer. 😄
Try the methods of Mari Kondo :) I love them. Everything fits in my little lowboy now!
Oh I love your videos so much. They are interested and funny alllllll the time. Please never stop it🙈😊❤❤❤😘😚😘
There are so many ways to organize scarves! I usually just hang them on the same hanger as the jacket or blouse I like to wear them with, but you can also fold or roll them up and put them in a drawer or storage cubicle, or hang them all on their own separate hanger(s) so you have a selection from which to choose. If you don't have space anywhere else, you can buy a plastic container to put them in and slide them under your bed. I hope this helps! :)
In Germany we used to wear the wider pants as well but like 10 years ago they went out of fashion and the skinny jeans came along and with them I stoped wearing pants lol... I just keep to skirts and dresses now thanks, I also have a big disliking for leggins... because most of the time people look like they forgot to put the skirt on I am sorry they are just not a suitable pants replacement in my oppinion (I don't mind if you war them for sports or something) but you do you!
Yeah..I prefer to wear long tops with mine. Jeans are difficult to buy, cut wrong, too short, and very expensive. Leggings have a bit more give.
Ya true, I never wore them and never will. They can look quite a bit unflattering giving one cameltoes and giving away what u wear beneath.But I also never wore skinny jeans, I need some space to move. They can squash blood vessels and so on and become unhealthy.
Danny30011980 hence the long shirt. And jeans can do that too...I have yet to find a pair of jeans that don’t sit so low that they make me look fat. All the jeans here (in the US) are either super low cut or unflattering and expensive.
I hated boot cut jeans or blue jeans generally when I was young (late 90's early 0's). I was very unhappy then with fashion for boys/men and I still am but I love my skinny pants with colors. But it's all preference ;-) I find them a lot more comfortable than these always getting wet- way to wide- weird flapping around boot cut jeans were back in the day ;-)
You are probably a little overweight then? In that case, good decision not to wear skinny.
I roll my scarfs up and then I place them in a shelf.
I have soooo many scarves as well and I moved from Munich to Florida 2 years ago :-D! Now, I have no need for them ;-)! Love your channel!
The Konmari method is the best way to organize clothes, even scarves. Good luck.
when I lived in the US for a year a started to care less about my style. In germany I would always go nicely dressed with real pants and with a full face of make up to school. In the US a wore a lot of yoga pants and in general comfy clothes to school because I felt like nobody really cared. Also the stores where I would by my clothes changed. In Germany I got almost all my clothes from H&M. In the US even though there are H&M stores too, my main store was forever 21.
Over the years I got more sensible about quality, chemical usage and social conditions of productions. Therefore I'm now buying at Shops like hessnatur or at second hand shops. In addition i'm wearing more comfortable things like dresses, cardigangs and so on. :)
I own quite a lot of scarves too and I oranise them on a hanging rail which is fixed between my wall and my closet. That works really well😊
Scarf organization: My mum gave me a hanger that looks like the top of a dress and when you put the scarves through the hooks at the bottom your scarves make up the skirt of the dress. I love it and it’s not just organized, I even hung it on a hook on the wall because it’s too pretty to be kept in the closet.
I live in new York and almost every one where's skinny jeans or pants of different colors
I think some americans might be shocked to find out that Minimizer bras are a thing here. :'D
There are minimizer bras here in Canada too.
They should be outlawed!
There are minimizer bras in the US as well :)
I have absolutely no idea what a minimizer bra is, but I assume it is to make them look smaller? I am going to go google it.
Her views are personal and subjective
You have a great personality it’s always a pleasure to watch your videos 😃
Skinny jeans became a huge necessity for me when I moved to Germany because of bike riding (boot cut would get caught in the bike chain), and warmth (cold air blows straight up bootcut jeans)! For me the biggest difference was also the colors I wore. I lived there in 2012 and bold colors were not the norm at all! Love your videos! Always fun to watch and remember my year spent there!
I would say, some things have to do with changing styles. Leggings and skinny jeans just became popular (again for leggings) in the time you were living in Germany. The straight jeans style was really common before (and I miss the time, I hate skinny jeans for myself). Same with more colour, that wasn't really a thing before.
Get a hanger that has three or four pieces to it connected you know one hanger 4 slots and do it by color so put all the green ones with on one of those multi slotted hangers if they don't have them your mom can send them to you and then put the red one on another so then that way when you pull out the hanger that has four different slots you can see all your red scarves or green scarves so they're color coded and organized if you fold them you could probably fit at least 2 or 3 if you folded them correctly on each slot so you could have 12 scarves on each hanger
One way you can organize your scarfs is to place five on a hanger by color i.e.. all darks, lights etc. I hope that helps! Take care and thank you for your awesome videos!! HUGS!
I put all my thinner scarves through a Komplement hanger thing from Ikea. It's basically a load of hoops attached together to thread scarves in and it's so handy!
The airport in Milan: You get out of the plane, you see some italians, you feel underdressed. Germans are just better in engineering than in fashion.
Germans still dress better than most Americans ever will
Your hair is soooooo long! I stopped with the heels when I moved to Europe its impractical. The cobble stones won’t cooperate.
Scarf solution: Buy one of those hangers that has loops (at IKEA). It keeps maybe 12 scarves. This year when I looked through my closet I separated my scarves into decorative and functional. I keep the warmer ones with my jackets and coats, and the thinner ones with my tops and blouses. Helps me to save time.
I'm really pleased with the scarf holder from Ikea.
I come from Indonesia. When I visited my family, I see so many people wearing batik. Some of them are very beautiful, but after a long time looking at uni-colour / one colour dresses in Germany (many colour dresses are for summer), I feel unconfortable using dresses with so many colour every time.
D.s. Dhani just ware a t-shirt or so over the top part to make the dress less „screamy/loud.
Habe eine Weile keine Videos mehr von dir gesehen, und ich muss sagen: wow wie lang sind deine Haare geworden? 😳
Magdalena Leitwolf echt schön, neh? Stimme dir zu!
Siehst du doch.
Man müßte Dana zusammen mit Trixi (DontTrustTheRabbit) und Martha (craftyapplepie) in ein Video packen. Mit Trixi gibt es das schon, aber Martha fehlt noch. Das wären dann drei gutaussehende Frauen mit tollen langen Haaren.

M.x H.ü stell dich nicht so an
Your Germany style is basically how I dress in Chicago, except I usually wear some type of boots (ankle, riding, ugg, hunter, sorrel, but never cowboy boots). I also stopped wearing push-up padded bras after college. I just got a cube shelf system for all my scarves and beanies; working well so far.
I do not change my clothes to conform to fashion trends. I set my own.
I am currently an exchange student from Germany in the US and I’ll have to correct you on the pants point. I haven’t seen many actual fashionable people wear bootcut pants. Some older people yes but I feel like that’s just leftover from the 2000s. But yes, I did notice the colourful pants are more popular in germany.
If you are not in a state or area where people wear boots almost all the time then you are unlikely to see them. In some rural or "western' areas of the USofA that is the predominant style.
I have my scarfs in a small cabinet next to the front door. In the cabinet my scarfs are rolled up in fabric boxes, winter scarfs in one, summer scarfs in another, gloves and hats in another.
If you take your scarfs and fold them in half and loop the ends through the middle you can hang any where from one to eight on a single hanger and put them in with your other cloths. Also if it's a deep storage area if you take the part of a can that opens it off you can take two hangers ( or more) and put them each through one hole and save even more space.
I love those pants with a bootcut style which go wider at the bottom! With my slighly wider hip, I think, those skinny jeans would make that look more giant as it is now. So I am happy, that there are some shops in Germany selling those ( I have one jeans 5 times in my closet! :-D )
Ms0phelia wide hips are sexy if they make your body shape look like an hourglass. Don't hide them ;)
ah yes, the "drumstick" problem...I think wear what looks good for your body type, regardless of trends
Leggins are dreadful in my opinion. When it comes to colours, i see a lot more people in earthy colours than bright ones.
The one thing Germany has made me change in my wardrobe is to dress more for looks than practical use. Then again - it does not really get cold much here.
Dana comes from Florida and thinks it can get rather cold in Germany. You come from Iceland (presumably, because of your name) and think it does not really get cold much in Germany. It's all a matter of perspective I guess :-)
Very much a matter of perspective. My view of how cold it gets in Germany would be much different that Dana's since she's from Florida and I'm from Minnesota. Getting cold enough to snow is an annual thing here, but rare in Florida.
Imre Hundertwasser 4-9°C in winter isn't cold at all. Most German still going around in thin clothes.
To store scarves: Try out "Krawattenhalter" (tie racks), especially those that can be attached to the your wardrobe's/closet's doors' inside, so they make good use of otherwise unused space.
To organize scarfs. Fold lengthwise and you can fit 3 on a hanger . Ir you can after folding, roll them up. Stand them on end in a drawer.
Maybe it's just cuz I live in Southern California but I see ZERO people wearing baggier pants in the last few years. Like maybe people over 50 do, but no one else. I even feel fuddy duddy in my straight-leg jeans that just go straight down and not flair at all. Literally everyone (guys and girls) wear skinny jeans/pants and most girls also wear leggings instead of pants a lot of times - like literally their shirts don't even cover the leggings at all - it's weird (I can't bring myself to do that - no one wants to see me in those!). I would venture to say that Florida is behind the times.
I have a million scarfs well. I organise them with this hanger from ikea. It is gray and consists of circles to tie your scarfs to. I hung mine on the back of my door to optimise space but not clutter the "view". m.ikea.com/nl/nl/catalog/products/art/90327334/
Hii :) here`s a little advice how to organize your scarfs:
If u have an empty drawer you can make small roll with the scarf and put it in the drawer. Make it with all the scarfs and you get a selection and you can easier decide which scarf fits to youtr outfit :)
And.. nice video :)
I am wearing the running shoes over here (States) that you mentioned not wearing so much anymore in Germany. I love the whole memory foam insoles idea. You just don't feel every piece of gravel when you're walking/running. It feels like walking on a cloud. I love them. =)
Es gibt Kleiderbügel, die Löcher haben um Schals hineinzustecken
So that's interesting... I didn't know a "scarf addiction" was a thing 😃
I spent a year abroad as an exchange student in Ireland. It's pretty common over there that you wear a school uniform and that you have your own and very noticeable style outside of school. Bevor i went to Ireland I had a pretty common style like everyone else. I liked to wear black skinny jeans, grey jerseys and nike or addidas runners, but after a couple of months in Ireland I felt like people are judging me for not having my own style or just being very basic and I actually thought I am. So I thought about it and noticed that I always tried to be as ordinary as possible. Even if I saw something that I really liked in a shop i didn't buy it if it was colorful or unusual.
I decided to wear what ever I want even if it's unusual and noticeable. Nobody was judging me over there for my new style, they supported the new me. I got so much more self confidence than I ever had before and it feels soooo good. Back in Germany people judged me for my new uncommon style, but I don't care. I mean I accepted their opinions but that doesn't mean anything to me. It feels good not to be forced to follow the latest fashion. I am just the way I am. I love baggy jeans, colorful Tshirts and a big smile on my face.
From a thumbnail i could swear that You would talk how sizing differs in Europe and US, especially for bras. Still can be topic for a future episode :)
So she either had a remarkably bad environment in the US and good one in Germany or the pressure to look a certain way really is worse in the USA than in Germany.
Isn't growing up difficult enough already?
Philine Reck I'd say it's the pressure to fit a certain standard that is less important in Germany
If it works, it's good. = Germany
If it looks good, it doesn't have to work = US
It depends on where you live in Germany but sometimes it looks like a boring Espirt/H&M commercial. Florida is known for the superficial look. I’ve lived in both places and honestly if you’re secure in yourself, you will wear what makes you happy.
Philine Reck maybe she was just a kid that was easily influenced
At first I was a basic girl with no style... now I'm a goth. xD
Grinsekatze me too (with a little touch of punk 😁)
Similar to me. I had a terrible style before, but now it all fits together. However, it can be a pain in the ass to find the right stuff in the wardrobe because everything is black.
Grinsekatze I've found my people xD
You're welcome. xD
Lol I was opposite! I used to consider myself punk, but as I've gotten older I have stopped caring so much about style and now I only care about comfort. I still like to wear my old clothes from time to time though.
Great presentation!
with the scarfs I just roll it up and put a rubber band around it so it stays rolled up, this has three main benefits over folding
it saves space, it prevents wrinkles, and if stored in a "standing" position (on it's end) you can store multiple scarfs in a drawer in such a way that you can look through and find the exact scarf you want in seconds without worrying about it being at the bottom of a huge pile
waaaait do i see clickbait?
Domenik Debert , her title was pretty true to content. How is this clickbait?
Trebdiel Thumbnail
Kaxth arina, in my opinion it would only be clickbait if she did not talk about bras and only included that picture to draw people in, with no relevance to content. It was relevant to the content.
No? What? Why would you think it was clickbait? Her title and thumbnail showed what she did, in fact, talk about. That's not clickbait.
there simply was no need to explicitely take the bra scene as the thumbnail but idc really
Dana, what do you mean with "trying to balance on the U-Bahn", how do you do that? I mean, wherever it goes into a tunnel, there is maybe a foot of room between its roof and the tunnel roof, so how do you fit in there upright (so that you can balance instead of just laying flat)? Anyhow, that is a really dangerous hobby and many have died from it, so please don't do that too often!
Seegal Galguntijak I don't think she actually meant standing ON the train car. In english you say "on the train" für "im Zug". :)
Lilli Jäger Oh, I see. But then, what is there to balance? You just grab one of the many hand rails or holding straps that hang from them and hold tight...
It's still highly uncomfortable in heels, especially when you're not used to walking with them, or as Dana said, are used to drive by car and don't actually walk/stand on them a lot. You can quickly lose your balance if the train shakes from side to side (they do that, trust me) and unless you are going for a really wide legged stance to keep your balance, it is very tiring.
Shower curtains hoops make good scarf hanging devices. I loop the hoops together and put different scarves through the different loops.
Living in germany from the uk and completely agree with the shoe and bra changes
When it comes to fashion, I'm a bit of a radical. I think something like fashion shouldn't exist, because it plays with and preys on peoples inferiority complexes, and that is something I can't condone. So I don't even care how people around me are clothed. The only time I even notice it is if somebody is exceptional in some way (like really quirky or even crazy, or just exceptionally "fashionable" as in walking around like a peacock, having lots of paint on their face and stuff like that - but that rather repells me from that person than it could ever attract me).
I've always hated the arbitrariness of fashion. A style that is loved one decade becomes reviled in the next, and anyone who continues wearing it is marked as inferior. Even when I was in grade school, there was tremendous pressure to wear the "right" brand and style of jeans. 11-year-olds should not have to worry about things like that. Neither should adults, for that matter.
+RedJoker That's not the opposite of what Seegal said.
RedJoker Those people that need fashion lack self-confidence. In my opinion, it is rather pathetic to need something on the outside to boost your self-confidence (that goes for fashion, cars, gadgets, houses, and basically anything that doesn't come from within you as a person and has nothing to do with the outside world). But as I said, I'm a bit of a radical when it comes to things like that ;)
caulkins69 Yeah, that's the point where I say people that lack self-confidence are being preyed upon by the fashion industry to spend money to continue to boost a fakery of what they are made to think is self-confidence, but since it's fake, it really isn't, it is the opposite.
Seegal Galguntijak you are right. Totally agree with you
They are called bell bottoms i hate those jeans
MC Bowl no. Those are flare jeans. Bell bottoms are much larger
MC Bowl | she's just talking about boot cut jeans, not bell bottoms.
Those are definitely not bell bottoms. Bell bottoms are MUCH wider - like a foot or more - at the bottom. She was just showing boot cut jeans.
desertrose0601 no. Boot cut are cut to fit in a boot. Like a cowboy boot. So not quite a skinny, but almost. She was showing FLARE jeans
Straight jeans are straight down. Boot cut are a little wider. Flare jeans are 70s style extremely wide at the bottom. At lease that's how it is here in the US.
During my semester abroad in California I started wearing comfy sneakers (running shoe style) instead of Vans Slip Ons and I kept it till today.
I store my scarves in tubs/draws, but organize by weight, then colour. So heavy wool winter scarves in one tub, knit versitile scarves in another, silk/light scarves in another etc.
I also store many of them in twists. For the silk scarves especially I twist the scarf, fold it over, hold the free ends and let it "untwist" so I have a helix type structure, then place in a knee-high stocking. It's easy to sort through the bundles and once removed I have a container for the stocking so I can replace the scarf later.
Please...do not mistake leggings for pants! you can wear them unter skirts, dresses, short pants but not as replacements for pants x.x what is wrong with ppl T^T
TheSasuNarai leggings are made to be pants. They’re thicker and some have pockets. Now that they’re in style they’re definitely intended to be worn solo. Also the waistbands are too thick to be worn under skirts and dresses without looking bulky
TheSasuNarai yeah!! It's like wearing a shirtless sleeve
You are so right. Leggings are no pants. Most of the time you can see through them or the ass "eats" them.
TheSasuNarai how about people can wear whatever the fuck they want
Personally, I think leggings are to be worn under short skirts or a pajama pants. That's just my opinion though so I only push those rules for wearing them on myself.
leggings sind keine hosen! stop wearing them outside of your house!
That's overly generalizing.
I would treat them more like tights since that's what they are.
That means you wear something with them that covers your butt, like a skirt or a long shirt.
Jasper Zanovich how I hate it when kids at school wear them like pants... it looks so stupid
Just let people wear whatever the fuck they want to wear
Leggings are great - if you have pretty legs!
There are women that are wearing leggings but look like a bag of potatoes. *That* is horrible.
Woman as pretty as Dana can look awesome in leggings!
Jeder sollte das tragen was er für richtig hält... jeder hat seinen eigenen style ,sonst wäre das ja voll langweilig
yay you're in the trends!!
Your hair is so amazingly beuatiful. And love that jumper. And you yourself are so amazing and fun.
In germany everyone is wearing colorfull pants? Bullshit! Just hipsters do so!
Normal people wearing blue jeans or black pants
_ - RessiX - _ Nö
I wouldn't agree either. I consider myself "normal" or rather "not hipster" and I try to have as big a range of colour in my pants cabinet as possible.
Und was ist mit grünen Jeans
Oder weißen
Hipster tragen schwarz
my mother has a ton of scarfs and she usually just puts them all in these colorful ikea boxes and then stuff them on top of the wardrobe
If you don't have a scarf hanger, just hang two regular hangers below each other (I had a lot of unused space on my closet door, so i used pushpins to hang hangers there. Depending on the scarf size i can fit 3-5 scarves per hanger and i really enjoy picking one out in the morning, especially cause they're displayed nicely)
I love scarves! I'm not comfortable in most prints so I tend to wear black, white and primary colours. I wear scarves to give accent to my outfits. If I mix up the accessories a bit I can get several styles from a single set of clothes
I have an excessive scarf collection and I have a few drawers to put them in. I made sections in the drawers then I roll em up and put them in! Then there’s also (for the thin scarves) a hanger you can buy at IKEA: Komplement anhänger schallkollektion!
You can take those rings that are used to hang curtains, put them on the pants section of a hanger and hang your scarves on the curtain-mounting-ring-thingys.
After moving to Ireland I became more of a minimalist when it comes to clothing and I definitely own more vintage pieces. Where I live here are so so many authentic vintage places and vintage kilo sales that it is quite common here. Even though apart from that, my style is very different from what people usually wear here, especially to go out. I kept my germaneness for that - no high heels, tight dresses and tons of make up for me!
for a way to organize your scarves - there are actually hangers with a bunch of holes designed specifically to hold scarves (you basically just lace them through and then hang the whole thing in your closet). no idea what theyre called though! :)
You can knot your scarfs onto a hanger (one that looks like a triangle with a hole in the middle) and hang it in your closet 😊 that way it's put nicely away
