Tell me why i've been putting off this video because i was like "this will never work for my depressed ass" and right off the bat you were like "yes this is lazy girl friendly" lmao! thank you Gaby
I took some clothes out of style purgatory and reassessed if I wanted them or not. Then we did a clothing swap with all the ladies at work. They were so excited to go through the clothes and try things on. Now I get to see them wearing the pieces and enjoying them. So fun! (I live in a less affluent country).
I loved it! Your 'take it slow' approach was useful and so was the idea of our closets as being a sacred space where we show ourselves. I liked the information about costume designers and the rooms created by the Ralph Lauren team. By the way, what season are you? Summer?
Let’s be real, most of our morning montages would just be scrolling on our phones 😭 (Until you realise you are super hungry, thirsty, and procrastinating peeing was a bad idea. No, only me? 😶)
Costume design in film was the first aspect of fashion that I was attracted to! I love how the costuming of films, theatre productions, ballets, etc communicates the energy and character of the setting and cast. It's such an important element of visual storytelling. Fashion and clothing are immensely important in human history and life. It's one of the most accessible lenses into ourselves and our histories. As always, I really enjoyed this video, thoughtful and detailed and deeply considered. I've also thought about for "re-homing" old pieces that are either worn out or no longer serving me but I'm still attached to is to use it in my textile art. It would be a really great way to connect to old selves both emotionally and physically. As for which video...I think C would be very fun :)
I had a really hard time in junior high, and my clothes were a way for me to survive. I was literally romanticizing my life. I'd lay out my clothes the night before, make sure my details matched, played around with my mom's and dad's old pieces. It was a creative outlet and it allowed me to start figuring out my taste and style, and something that helped me through.
I really love your personality and the aura you ooze ❤ i grasped every detail of your description. I'm really grateful for people like you present in our world 😊
Hi Gabrielle, thanks to your website and channel, I discovered my colour palette and essences 🤗 I am a dramatic classic body type with a dark autumn colour palette. Now I understand why I like such different outfit styles; I have a mix of classic, natural and gamine essences🤸🥳🤗 I love wearing boho dresses in summer, classic in winter, preppy in autumn and fun & classic in Spring 🤗🌸 I am so grateful to have discovered you, great content and fantastic sense of humour, thank you so much and keep it coming 😘 and I loved the intro 😄
I've never before realised how fashion can inspire joy / romanticise your life in a way that actually feels authentic. I'm so excited to explore this further 🥰
I enjoyed it (& watched the whole thing). I'm still at the point where I'm a magpie attracted by the next bright/shiny especially as reflected via fashion trends of the upcoming season and encouraged by Black Friday sales and such. Working on getting a handle on what I have, declutter enough to see what is still in my closet from earlier decades. Plus I have a plethora of items with tags still on and not yet worn. [Too much retail therapy during the pandemic. 😕] So, it's a work in progress. Regarding your next video, options A. History of Girl Next Door, and C. Romanticizing your life through your clothes-integrating fantasy, looked promising.
I think it's totally fun to try and explore new trends! You can still do the closet audit and maybe try personal style mapping too. Might help you pinpoint the trends that speak authentically to you rather than just collecting every trend out there. Thank you for watching the whole video- seriously I know I talk a lot. It's a slow process to improve our closets, just take it a step at a time, doesn't have to feel insurmountable that way or have too much decision fatigue. Maybe just tackling your "easy nos" is a good place to start.🥰
Quick reminder for those who's wardrobe is full of clothes that you love but recently discovered that colours are not right even if style and shapes are - fabric dye is a thing! And it's not that hard to do :)
I would love to see video choice A but they all sound fun 🤩 Do you still have the structured white shirt? I had a lightbulb moment taking outfit photos that I actually don’t like how I look in a structured white shirt and I feel uncomfortable in a shirt like that. It helped me realize I need something more soft, flowy and relaxed. I also went through a phase where guessed my color season (incorrectly) and got rid of all my black clothes 😭😣 Still regret that, so I have a “style purgatory” duffel bag under my bed.
I heard angels singing from high during your presentation. First, clusters are a "New to me idea!" I need to ditch or hybridize my capsules to a weather-based cluster design. My capsules have collapsed with the East Coast weather and my vision. I am always scrambling for alternatives in my capsule to adjust to the daily weather changes. Second, "a new to me"idea, is Comfort under a coat! It just dawned on me that I don’t buy coats wearing layers! So, at the last minute, I have to wear a coat that does not fit my "vision" or I am capsule-busting, scrambling for alternatives, and mad at the process. Your worksheet and video exposed these stumbling points. My coats drive the winter look and as I write this, I don't have an oversized comfortable coat! Jackets yes, coats, no. I swear my clothes hate me and I want them to love me. Thank You for the worksheets, I know it will bring me and my clothes closure or closer, I will let you know!
I'm so glad to hear the worksheets helped you make this realization! And yes, I find coats such an amazing fashion point to really "finish" off the vision. And I find having some small clusters in my closet really helpful- they help me immediately see the vibe I'm going for depending which one I pull out. Definitely worth playing around with the flow and structure if you're finding it stressful instead of fun to build an outfit. Thank you for leaving this comment, it really made my day!
I finished it! Wow, such a deep nuanced and system approach! I am almost oppressed by the amount of analysis it will take, especially if to consider I'm only on establishing my style toolbox stage - not even touched "personal style" holy grail. Would be very interesting to see your approach to romanticizing life. It is tough for me - not with bringing fantasy in, im a chronic dreamer. But more with "stop from grinding, breathe and feel the magic that _is_ in already", like mindfulness and stuff. And the other side of romantisizing as feeling oneself a main hero of his/her life, and feeling in power even in ordinaries of everyday. And a way to build a narrative, a story from the past and present (it's therapeutic, they say). If you choose to make a vid on enhancing the style toolbox, you can use my data (i'd be honoured): Im quite slim soft dramatic, my curve aint very strong, but im soft and flowy. My vertical is bold 5'10. Both those make me lean to dramatic lines with added softness, rather than overglam of full curve SDs; but can wear minies and floaty fabrics of any lengths. I suffer in prints and anything fussy, and shine in shimmers. I am true(cool) winter with snow-white bluish skin and a touch of not so harsh contrast (neutral hazel eyes and darkbrown hair with gray undertone). I shine in brighty-coldy-pastels, can tolerate total black with added silver nuances - look very powerful. My top essence is ethereal, it's quite obvious. But i also have a hit of ingenue (people feel awkward when they guess my age and i look silly/separate in mature romantic stuff). Sorry for the wall of text.
Oh man. After I completed the exercises in your last video. I took it upon myself to do a closet audit. Clothes were everywhere for a month. If only I had this video. Taping that paper to the door is genius. Taking out 1-5 clothes each day and reviewing them is also fantastic. I was sleeping on 1/3 of my bed for that month cause the rest was filled with clothes. I was jotting down notes about pieces I couldn’t get rid of yet because I use them often but I wanted to replace with new/better fitting clothes. I still have jeans to do. I’ll apply your tips to that at least
Haha, well I'm sure your closet is looking fantastic even if the process was a bit arduous! I'm glad you found the last worksheets helpful. And yes, the replacements can happen slowly, so just enjoy your fashion win!
I’d love a shopping guide / tips video! I’ve done a great closet audit, I know what the gaps are, I know my style tool box, and I need to move on to buying things I’ll love but it’s so so so hard for me! I’m a very picky shopper (good) but I never end up getting anything (bad). I need tips on how to find specific pieces online, how to but things online when you can’t try them on, how to not get overwhelmed shopping in person, and how to find online stores/platforms that are styles you like
I dont have this exact video- but this one might help - These mistakes will thwart your personal style { wardrobe + shopping} th-cam.com/video/Urob8frW54E/w-d-xo.html
Would you be able to do a video on, how to combine kibbes and Kitcheners that are complete opposites. Or maybe incorporating style lines that suit your body and face if they feel disjointed and don’t match up. I’ve been struggling to feel secure in my blend because I have a long face (maybe Natural and Ethereal) but a tiny curvy body. Clothes that look good on my body rarely flatter my face. I’m 5’2 and would guess I have a Kibbe Romantic or Soft gamine body shape. So I can’t figure out how to respect my face without drowning in my clothes and while still respecting my short lines.
Thank you so much for this thorough video! I am a therapist and personal stylist because I believe in the power of our style whole heartedly! Excellent work, my dear!
This video was very helpful. I'm facing hard truths rn thinking about my closet as I watched it 😪. For the next video, I would love to see all of them eventually, but C appeals to me the most right now in my life. 😁 Love your work Queen
@@spacebar9733 thank you so much! And yes I’m thinking C might be fun and bring us some joy back into our fashion! And just evaluate your closet slowly, no need to rush it 🥰
Thanks for going deep! I love the idea of closet as sacred space, and it think it will be a fruitful thought experiment. My vote for the next video is c romanticizing your life through clothes and integrating fantasy.
Great video, as usual. Love your creative editing style! I would really like a video about the c option. Romanticizing my life, because I feel I am in a style rut right now.
You are one of the most special things happened to me 😂. Thank you for your works. I hope you'll be content, peaceful, and most important always be beautiful inside.
They’re all good videos and I’d love to watch them all eventually! Personally B and C feel most relevant to me at the moment. And I think C sounds the most fun out of those 2!
Gabrielle I just love your videos! You explain things in such a great and universal manner. You help us better understand why we love fashion so much. It’s so much more than materialism. These videos help me minimize my closet and maximize my impact 💕 Thank you!
also, I’d vote to discuss A! Mostly because if I had any aesthetic (who can keep up anymore), it’d be that one. I enjoy having a relaxed, warm and open feel to my look! However, I have to have a funky or edgy element in it to feel like myself 😂
@@Gabriellearrudadesign l have many sewing projects hanging around - usually this time of year for 'special' occasion. Sometimes everything feels so mixed up as if 1 have too much - but 1 don't - would love to see How you Have you thought of also breaking up your videos into 20 mins? Its great to get the big Overview but often 1 look at a video and if it’s more than 20 ' skip it _ no time which is actually ridiculous! Great video.
@@marionannmacredie ya I’ve tried to make them shorter but I always seem to fail on these larger topics. sometimes part 1/part 2 videos tend not to do well with the TH-cam algorithm. But the next video should be shorter (option C) so 🤞🏻
I love how you give it a deeper meaning! The work we put in will be in line with the benefits we have at the end! Are you an INFJ by any chance? I know it was a while ago, but am curious about A, girl next door option, not even so much with history, but vibe and how to integrate.
@@Gabriellearrudadesign a fellow INFJ, how cool!!! Keep doing what you are doing, making it so meaningful and connecting it on a different level makes it unique. The podcast on the favorite pieces started a therapeutic process for me, realizing there is a lot of softness and femininity that I dont know how to integrate since I became a mom and work from home a lot, and got stuck with utility clothes. Now experimenting with flowery leggings and fluffy cardigans and bringing back the feminine vibe one step at a time.
B and C both sound so appealing to me!! One of my style goals lately has been to add more fantastical grandeur because I like the juxtaposition of things that are very grounded and things that have some kind of surreal quality.
So glad you're making more content thank you. Always find your take on the subject interesting. By the way..love the red dress, it looks amazing on you 💃
I really need to learn how to use the tool box of information that I have on fashion so please a video about how to actually use style tools box with every part of your life....
I use Pinterest to see what pieces show up again and again to know what I want my basics to be. I make lists of clothes that have neutral colors. I then make a list of pieces that show my personality and add to the outfit. I love silhouettes, textures, fabrics, and colors. I really try to shop for quality and check the tags. I dislike synthetic clothes and try to stay away from them mostly.
I've watched a few of your personal style videos over the last few days and learned a lot! I really like the idea of having A+ items in my wardrobe but how do you achieve that when shopping online? I don't have a lot of free time to go shopping in person but feel like I'll be tempted to keep things if they're good enough, rather than bother sending them back. Do I need to raise my standards..? (A vote for the style toolbox video too please)
Yes, raise your standards and return or donate items that don't work! It can be slow but so so rewarding. I have a podcast episode all about evaluating how you shop that you might like th-cam.com/video/o1K8dm-kf94/w-d-xo.html
9:40 Getting rid of all the warm & bright 🌞 clothes in your closet... 4 mos later after Kathryn Kalisz's Sci-Art 12 season color analysis... I'm a Bright Spring! 🌞 😅 oh no! 😮 Bonus: You really do have black in your palette! 🎨
It’s ok- most of them didn’t fit my other style pillars. So I’m doing a slow intentional pivot including dying pieces I really like 👍🏻 and I saved one piece from closet purgatory
I only own like 10 items of clothing. None are in my color palette or kibbe type. So this should be easy, toss it all. Its time I upgrade and take care of myself. No more poor frumpy housewife
Yes, you deserve a closet that you love and supports your style goals! Just buy slowly so that you're really sure it's the right fit for your dream styles
Love that long cream slip dress with the black lace detail. I'm no expert but am wondering about whether you see the classic essence in you? I feel like i see it in you pretty easily, with your others.
I go over this in the classic video but I don’t think classic is in my blend- or at least not dominant. I don’t know if I’d categorize that dress as classic either. But it’s definitely open to interpretation 👍🏻 I see it having a relaxed silhouette (which could read as simple/classic but I treat this as honoring my natural) but I feel the lace/silk leans a touch romantic and the stark color and sharper angles could be a hint of dramatic. Maybe someone with classic could wear it, but I wouldn’t naturally think it’s a dress someone like Grace Kelly would wear
@@Gabriellearrudadesign Thanks Gabrielle. I definitely am in learning mode and appreciate your answering with some background. I recently went from thinking I was a Dramatic Classic to Dramatic in Kibbe and now have some more inspiration with the dramatic essence piece. Your videos are all around informative, so creative, and well explained with entertaining and lovable touches of "weirdness" (as you call it).
I'll say as a SAHM, it's hard to take daily outfit photos because it's all the same LOL! I think my issue with my wardrobe is that I don't have any nice pieces for slightly dressy/casual OR special occasions (which don't happen a lot anymore, but still happen), and the ones that I do have don't fit my color season or body type. But part of my issue is that I'm not even 100% on what my body type is because of my postpartum body... I'm midsize and it's hard to look at my body objectively and while I'm thankful for it growing and birthing a baby, it's hard to see my giant boobs and say "Is this curve? or is it just from breastfeeding? do I have width or is it my postpartum body?" though it was hard to look at myself objectively pre-pregnancy too... I think i'm in the natural family because I *think* i have width but not sure which sub-category I fall into.
I wouldn't overly focus on body types or image identities if they are causing you stress. Instead start to try on the clothes you have and take the daily outfit photos and notice what you like on yourself, notice how you like your clothes to fit, and what your style necessities or priorities are. Maybe you need you clothes that you can easily go from floor playing with kids, to running around town. Which might indicate a wardrobe gap is put-together + casual/comfort. And could also indicate pinpointing your accessories might help so you always feel like the look is "complete" even if it's very casual. Kibbe can be fantastic in understanding why something works, but it's not mean to overly stress you out or have you overly analyze your body. Maybe that's not a tool you need to implement right now. If you think you're natural, just play around with adding some relaxed elements and don't overly focus on the subtype or exact recommendations.
Tell me why i've been putting off this video because i was like "this will never work for my depressed ass" and right off the bat you were like "yes this is lazy girl friendly" lmao! thank you Gaby
Just go at your own pace- hope the video helps 🤗
I took some clothes out of style purgatory and reassessed if I wanted them or not. Then we did a clothing swap with all the ladies at work. They were so excited to go through the clothes and try things on. Now I get to see them wearing the pieces and enjoying them. So fun! (I live in a less affluent country).
This is such a great idea!!
I vote for C) romanticizing regular life through fantasy in fashion!
Working on it now 👍🏻
Spent the whole morning rewatching your videos and then this came up!! A true holiday treat.
Hope you enjoyed it!
I loved it! Your 'take it slow' approach was useful and so was the idea of our closets as being a sacred space where we show ourselves. I liked the information about costume designers and the rooms created by the Ralph Lauren team.
By the way, what season are you? Summer?
My closet is my sacred space - OMG, this phrase has been an epiphany 🙂
I’m so glad!!
Would love to see an "integrating fantasy" video!
I vote for integrating fantasy into your wardrobe. :)
Let’s be real, most of our morning montages would just be scrolling on our phones 😭
(Until you realise you are super hungry, thirsty, and procrastinating peeing was a bad idea. No, only me? 😶)
QUEEN IS BACKKKKKKK ❤

Hi Gabrielle, thanks to your website and channel, I discovered my colour palette and essences 🤗
I am a dramatic classic body type with a dark autumn colour palette.
Now I understand why I like such different outfit styles; I have a mix of classic, natural and gamine essences🤸🥳🤗

Yes I think C then B is the plan for now!
I love your hair and sweater in this ❤
Thank you!
A or C! Always love to listen to you :)
Thank you 😊 and I think C might be next 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!
I Love the way you always bring in art (film in this case) into your style analysis it rly resonates w me ♡♡
Signed, i make film sometimes 😂😂😂
So glad this resonates! I love film so it always connects as an inspiration point for me
Listening while I thrift ❤
ooh have fun thrifting! Hope it helps you shop for your best style!
Gabrielle I just love your videos! You explain things in such a great and universal manner. You help us better understand why we love fashion so much. It’s so much more than materialism. These videos help me minimize my closet and maximize my impact 💕 Thank you!
also, I’d vote to discuss A! Mostly because if I had any aesthetic (who can keep up anymore), it’d be that one. I enjoy having a relaxed, warm and open feel to my look! However, I have to have a funky or edgy element in it to feel like myself 😂
This is such a kind and meaningful comment! Thank you! I hope it helps on your style journey 🥰🥰
I have been doing little declutters all year!!! I am mourning some of those choices but some things have to be done.
I bet your closet is looking great!
For the next video: B & C seems very interesting for me.
I love your videos!!
Thank you! 🥰 and yes I think those two will be next!
I love your channel!!!!! Always learn so much!!!
I appreciate that!
I love that idea of all floral dresses on one hanger! Do u do it for everything? Could you show us your wardrobe organisation? 💞💞💞🎅🏿
I can work on this! I do it by mini clusters/theme for my dresses. Long/simple dresses, floral dresses, romantic vibes etc
@@Gabriellearrudadesign l have many sewing projects hanging around - usually this time of year for 'special' occasion.
Sometimes everything feels so mixed up as if 1 have too much - but 1 don't - would love to see
How you Have you thought of also breaking up your videos into 20 mins? Its great to get the big
Overview but often 1 look at a video and if it’s more than 20 ' skip it _ no time which is actually ridiculous! Great video.
@@marionannmacredie ya I’ve tried to make them shorter but I always seem to fail on these larger topics. sometimes part 1/part 2 videos tend not to do well with the TH-cam algorithm. But the next video should be shorter (option C) so 🤞🏻
@@Gabriellearrudadesignwell I stayed riveted to the end so maybe your videos are my exception 😁💞
@@marionannmacrediehaha im glad to hear that! I promise the next one won’t be as long 😂
Appreciated this video as I'm trying to realize my style with your help. I vote for choce "C" for the next video. Thank you!
Glad you liked it and you’ve got this!
I love how you give it a deeper meaning! The work we put in will be in line with the benefits we have at the end!
Are you an INFJ by any chance?
I know it was a while ago, but am curious about A, girl next door option, not even so much with history, but vibe and how to integrate.
Yes, I am INFJ 🤗 I still have the girl next door on my video list 👍🏻
@@Gabriellearrudadesign a fellow INFJ, how cool!!! Keep doing what you are doing, making it so meaningful and connecting it on a different level makes it unique. The podcast on the favorite pieces started a therapeutic process for me, realizing there is a lot of softness and femininity that I dont know how to integrate since I became a mom and work from home a lot, and got stuck with utility clothes. Now experimenting with flowery leggings and fluffy cardigans and bringing back the feminine vibe one step at a time.
@@evazingerm that’s so cool! I’m so glad it helped you unlock this new path 🤗🤗
Please do C!!! I'm struggling to bring my vision to life in a realistic way!
B and C both sound so appealing to me!! One of my style goals lately has been to add more fantastical grandeur because I like the juxtaposition of things that are very grounded and things that have some kind of surreal quality.
I totally agree, I think C might be next and then B. Adding in a little fantasy is a great way to feel excited about our clothes again!
Great video! Perfect timing, since the seasons are changing! Thank you for the worksheets! They’re great! 👍🏼
So glad you like them! ☺️☺️
It will be B for me.
Happy to see you again. Thanks for all your great advices.
Thank you! And yes plan to do b
Great stuff as always Gaby! My answer is 🐝
Great video as always, Gaby ❤🎉
I would love to see B or C next 😊
Thank you!! And I think I will do both videos, but it seems C might be first
great video! can't wait to start assessing my closet. ps I vote for option C :)
I’m so glad you liked it! And yay I was hoping ppl would be interested in C ☺️
I would love B!
Great video! I’d love to see option B, it would be very helpful 🥰
That’s going on my list 🥰
So glad you're making more content thank you. Always find your take on the subject interesting. By the way..love the red dress, it looks amazing on you 💃
Thank you so much!! ☺️
I'd love to see option C. Romanticizing your life trough your clothes. If not for the next video, please do it eventualy🤍
This is definitely winning, I plan to do it next! 🥰
Okay this was so so helpful thank you for your effort!!!!
I like video idea #3. Great video, always gives me something to think about.
I think that will be next! Glad you liked it!
i usually organize my closet by color but maybe I should try organizing by function instead
It can be fun to try a new closet approach, see if that leads to a different outfit building approach
romanticizing your life!!!!
I think this will be next!!
I want to see all of them next, but definitely option C first, it’s giving new year’s resolutions ✨
Yes, that's what i was thinking. A fun way to bring joy into fashion for the new year
You are a blessing
Thank you, that's so nice!
Oooohhh Style Toolboxes! If you need any Guinea pigs🙋🏾♀️ I live in the city and would be happy to my share parameters for community lol
Thank you!
Great video and resources. I'd like choice B for an upcoming video
Noted! And thank you!
I really need to learn how to use the tool box of information that I have on fashion so please a video about how to actually use style tools box with every part of your life....
Ooh yes I plan to! Drop any specific questions if you have them!
I use Pinterest to see what pieces show up again and again to know what I want my basics to be. I make lists of clothes that have neutral colors. I then make a list of pieces that show my personality and add to the outfit. I love silhouettes, textures, fabrics, and colors. I really try to shop for quality and check the tags. I dislike synthetic clothes and try to stay away from them mostly.
Sounds like a great system!
Lovely video❤
Glad you liked it!!
I'd love to see option C
I think this will be next! And hopefully soon🤞🏻
Hi i vote for C!
My vote is for option C!
I think this one will be next!
I've watched a few of your personal style videos over the last few days and learned a lot! I really like the idea of having A+ items in my wardrobe but how do you achieve that when shopping online? I don't have a lot of free time to go shopping in person but feel like I'll be tempted to keep things if they're good enough, rather than bother sending them back. Do I need to raise my standards..? (A vote for the style toolbox video too please)
Yes, raise your standards and return or donate items that don't work! It can be slow but so so rewarding. I have a podcast episode all about evaluating how you shop that you might like th-cam.com/video/o1K8dm-kf94/w-d-xo.html
Very helpful video as always! Btw, Did you change anything in your life? You look so radiant and bubbly 😃 ❤
That's so nice of you to say. Just got back from some travel, which is always a nice reset and makes me appreciate life just a bit more!
9:40 Getting rid of all the warm & bright 🌞 clothes in your closet...
4 mos later after Kathryn Kalisz's Sci-Art 12 season color analysis...
I'm a Bright Spring! 🌞 😅 oh no! 😮
Bonus: You really do have black in your palette! 🎨
It’s ok- most of them didn’t fit my other style pillars. So I’m doing a slow intentional pivot including dying pieces I really like 👍🏻 and I saved one piece from closet purgatory
@@Gabriellearrudadesign great idea! And I love ❤️ your deep dives, you are so insightful! Thanks for the videos!
@@reneewhittinghill3440 Thank you!! Means a lot!
I only own like 10 items of clothing. None are in my color palette or kibbe type. So this should be easy, toss it all. Its time I upgrade and take care of myself. No more poor frumpy housewife
Yes, you deserve a closet that you love and supports your style goals! Just buy slowly so that you're really sure it's the right fit for your dream styles
C first, then B, please!
I think this is my plan!
i feel guilty watching this for free...
😂 no I’m happy to have ppl watch!
Love that long cream slip dress with the black lace detail. I'm no expert but am wondering about whether you see the classic essence in you? I feel like i see it in you pretty easily, with your others.
I go over this in the classic video but I don’t think classic is in my blend- or at least not dominant. I don’t know if I’d categorize that dress as classic either. But it’s definitely open to interpretation 👍🏻 I see it having a relaxed silhouette (which could read as simple/classic but I treat this as honoring my natural) but I feel the lace/silk leans a touch romantic and the stark color and sharper angles could be a hint of dramatic. Maybe someone with classic could wear it, but I wouldn’t naturally think it’s a dress someone like Grace Kelly would wear
@@Gabriellearrudadesign Thanks Gabrielle. I definitely am in learning mode and appreciate your answering with some background.
I recently went from thinking I was a Dramatic Classic to Dramatic in Kibbe and now have some more inspiration with the dramatic essence piece.
Your videos are all around informative, so creative, and well explained with entertaining and lovable touches of "weirdness" (as you call it).
@@earth_and_spice Im so glad you like them! And what a great part of the journey to be on- enjoy the process 🤗
I’m being influenced by this outfit you are wearing lol where is it from?
Haha which one? There’s an outfit change due to filming
Lol the silver silk/Satin dress and sheer coverup
@@theroyalshaman the silver dress is from urban Outfitters, recently. The cover up I got in nyc years ago at a no name store, sorry!
I have a bunch of clothes I only wear to work, and they live with my socks and underwear as practical stuff that just needs a place to exist.
That sounds like a perfect solution!
I'll say as a SAHM, it's hard to take daily outfit photos because it's all the same LOL! I think my issue with my wardrobe is that I don't have any nice pieces for slightly dressy/casual OR special occasions (which don't happen a lot anymore, but still happen), and the ones that I do have don't fit my color season or body type. But part of my issue is that I'm not even 100% on what my body type is because of my postpartum body... I'm midsize and it's hard to look at my body objectively and while I'm thankful for it growing and birthing a baby, it's hard to see my giant boobs and say "Is this curve? or is it just from breastfeeding? do I have width or is it my postpartum body?" though it was hard to look at myself objectively pre-pregnancy too... I think i'm in the natural family because I *think* i have width but not sure which sub-category I fall into.
I wouldn't overly focus on body types or image identities if they are causing you stress. Instead start to try on the clothes you have and take the daily outfit photos and notice what you like on yourself, notice how you like your clothes to fit, and what your style necessities or priorities are. Maybe you need you clothes that you can easily go from floor playing with kids, to running around town. Which might indicate a wardrobe gap is put-together + casual/comfort. And could also indicate pinpointing your accessories might help so you always feel like the look is "complete" even if it's very casual. Kibbe can be fantastic in understanding why something works, but it's not mean to overly stress you out or have you overly analyze your body. Maybe that's not a tool you need to implement right now. If you think you're natural, just play around with adding some relaxed elements and don't overly focus on the subtype or exact recommendations.
@@Gabriellearrudadesignthank you!!! I’ll do that! ❤
C please 🦋
Video Option c pleaaase
C. Fantasy pls
I think this will be next 😊
@@Gabriellearrudadesign yay!
I just need that silver dress, someone please tell me where I can get it
It’s from urban outfitters a couple months ago- they still might carry it 👍🏻
I vote C - using fantasy!
I think this is going to be next! Hopefully just in time for the new year for us all to add some joy into our fashion
B or C
B
🙏🏻🥰
😊
There’s no reason you can’t wear floaty dresses to the grocery store 😊
Exactly!!!! I do often 😂 but I also wanted to answer it more fully to include ppl not wanting to do that.
