Fashion Regrets That Will Save You Money! Fall Fashion Trends 2024
We all have fashion regrets - yes even the best laid plans can sometimes lead to us buying something that, no matter how hard we try, just doesn't work. Fortunately, this doesn't happen to me often. However, sometimes I get wowed by fashion trends or get fomo seeing other people wearing something and against my better judgment I cave and buy it and quite quickly regret it. The best way to avoid this happening is think about a number of ways you can wear these pieces before you take the plunge and buy them. Often my biggest fashion regrets result from me buying something on a bit of a whim and not putting enough time in to planning how I will wear a piece and whether it really fits into my lifestyle. Anyway, today I wanted to share a few of my fashion regrets to help you avoid doing the same and just as a little reminder that even the best laid plans can and do go wrong. I'd LOVE to hear about your fashion regrets in the comments below. Let's share the pain LOL
Thanks for watching.

SO TRUE on the rigid jeans. Discomfort at its finest😆
YES!!!!
It was a bit of a relief to hear you also make mistakes. It gave me a lot of comfort to think that even someone with years of experience can make these kind of mistakes. Thank you for sharing!
Love my black Sambas...I been wearing them more than my white ones...it all depends on your personal style
Yes I'm going to try harder to make them work :(
Puffer vests are a classic in the northern U.S. I have a couple that aren’t overly puffy and they look cute with a long sleeved tee and jeans. Especially good for running errands and football games!
And apparently the size of one’s feet
I just wore my black sambas 2 days ago. They are a bit harder to style. But I love them!
I am guilty of buying tee shirts for my three sons at every track and field, band event, etc. they participated in. They had so many tee shirts with great memories. I ended up cutting the graphic section out of each tee and sewing them onto a large piece of fabric which I made into a quilt for each of them - and- they look great! And they use them! You would have to cut up your concert mementos but could be a great way to make them into something useful and unique.
What a fantastic idea !
My biggest regret at the moment is buying a massive flatform sandal. I feel like I'm walking on bricks. What a waste of money 😢
I so relate to the feeling of not wanting other’s to focus on my size 11 flippers. I know that having the right shoes makes or breaks an outfit but it’s a fine balance between trying to make my feet inconspicuous while also being fashionable. 😬
Oh yes I hear you!!
@charlottejohn~ sweet charlotte, we just have a large "understanding" ☺
@@dagnolia6004 Awww, thanks! I love that perspective:)
I'm 11 1/2 and I feel you!
I can never make myself like white shoes. I always think they shout. The lightest I can go is skin toned, which I love.
Send your concert Tees off to be made into a quilt. They look great as conversation pieces in your family room, hold memories and are comfy to curl up under when watching tv
fabulous idea!!
Me too, for a long time. Until i found the perfect style. Now i know which type of shoes, in white, look good on me. 😄
100% concur on the Jeans without elastane (AKA spandex) as these jeans hurt you in places you never thought pants would cause you pain.
Midcalf boots look great with cropped pants.
I do buy concert t-shirts and I wear them all the time. They can be elevated by wearing one with a blazer or even a nice cardigan. I see your point, though, if you don't wear them after the concert.
Ahh that's great to hear - I probs just need to make more effort to style them after the fact x
I will not go to a concert w/out buying the shirt. I pair them with skirts and boots. Love them!
I agree, waste of money. They and up becoming pjs in our house of 3 women
And concert T's are so expensive! Yikes. If I want a graphic T I head to the thrift.
That’s what I do. I always have my band T-shirts. I will wear some pearls in a blazer with it. Those T-shirts are a history of my life.
Oh my goodness……my closets are full of fashion mistakes. I have way too many articles of clothing I’ll never wear. I am pretty good at selling them so I try not to fault myself too much. 😂
Print animal skirt you wear is nice 👍👌
I too bought a pair of white chunky boots very similar to yours....and never really wore them. This Spring I bought 2 pairs of fisherman's sandals, one pair with a chunky heal and the other pair just the classic flat ones. Love them and wore them to death all summer !
Oh that's great to hear - thanks for sharing x
I bought a lovely pair (in my opinion) of leather chunky boots in Spain about 6 years ago and have worn them every winter since......until......one day when my son was visiting he said 'When are you going to give those dreadful boots a decent burial? They look like you're wearing a couple of house bricks on your feet!' Hmmmm......I don't quite look at them the same now. Boys...don't you love their honesty? Probably not 🙂
Loved this video. I agree with everything! No more concert tees…often scratchy and ill fitting! Find wearing puffer vests sooooo dull. I know what you mean about the flat sambas and larger feet! The other things you mentioned I also agree with 💯! Fun to hear you state what I often believe about various pieces of my wardrobe. Of course, it’s jmho. Thank you!
It's definitely jmho too LOL - glad you enjoyed this one x
I only wear rigid denim. Really dislike any stretch in my jeans.
Me too - way more chic 😊
And they last longer
Only wear vintage Levi’s. Stretch jeans remind me of jeggings. Also moved on from puffer anything
@@catnip4587I think she means like 1-2% stretch at the most🤣
Concert t-shirt would never be a regrettable thing for me. I love music, and I don’t mind showing my taste in music when going out. They are also about the same price as a regular t-shirt and I try to choose one that has minimal graphics or colors so they are easy to wear. I must not be very fashionable 😅
I love puffer vests. You have to find the right one though. I don't like any of the ones you have shown. Personally, I prefer mine to be more cropped rather than oversized. I like very little stretch in my jeans, if any. My rule is 1-2% stretch max with the remaining cotton. I am happy if I can find 100% cotton denim. I'm old too at 59....lol. I will admit the stretch jeans now are better than they were a few years back. Back then they all seemed to stretch out after a few hours of wear and became very baggy. They also wore out very fast too with the cheap stretch. I went years without buying jeans because I hated the stretch so much and that's all you could buy at one point. I'm happy things have changed the past few years and I am now able to find denim jeans I like again.
Yes you're right it depends on how much stretch is in the fabric - more than 1-2% and they will always stretch out of shape sadly :(
I wear my sweatshirts all the time in winter!
I don’t regret buying my black Sambas, but I definitely hear you. They are hard to style! I have the vegan ones, and I feel like it’s extra difficult with that grayish toe. I also agree on the chunky boots. That style of boot is not flattering on me either, but I bought several pairs because of Selena Gomez on OMITB😅. I do love them with cropped pants, as another commenter mentioned. Thank you for sharing your regrets!
Thanks Leonie for sharing this with us. /Marie from Sweden
Damn I should have watched before I bought my black adidas sambas
I love the simplicity of your attire today 😊
Could not relate on the concert tees. I wear them with my leopard print midi skirt, blazer, and sneakers! Its a fun and comfy look for work!
Chunky white Chelsea boots. Guilty as charged. I agree. White jeans, white sweater, and maybe a black (or black and white tweed/check) jacket or blazer. That's because the sole of said chunky white Chelsea boots is black. I'm 5'2" and it is the only way to wear these. Fortunately, they only cost me $100 two years ago.
Sandals 💜💜💜 Soft does a strapy but chunky Sandal that is comfortable and good movement. I also love the new sandals that Vionics and Aertrex have done and for a classic looking shoe Cole Hann, however they were the best when they had the collab with Nike. That’s my 2cents along with I loved the colorful Animal print outfit.
I think concert tee shirt look really cool with formal skirts and blazers if that's ur vibe. Similarly that green colored skirt would really amazing with either all black ensemble Or similar green shades but in different prints or a green striped shirt. Or head or toe green with a burgundy bag.
Adidas Sambas are probably the least comfortable sneakers I ever tried on. The chunky oversized puffer vests look hip hop - silly on older women. I love Chelsea boots in the winter!!! They are a must in sleet and snow!
My Steve Madden chunky loafers feel like clown shoes. I regret buying them.
Too many flap style bages I regret that design doesn't work for me.
And finally, a giffaffe print tote trimmed in red leather looks crazy plus it's way too big, I'm not sure what I was thinking, but I thifted it from a vintage store.😊
I liked your black boots! The rest I totally agree with. 😊
Thank you! Great video. BTW you can make a quilt (companies can do it for you) out of your band T-shirts, or travel T-shirts, or other T-shirts you don't wear anymore
I take my t- shirts and sew on sleeves. Different colors, textures. All cut off puffy blouse sleeves and sew on. Mix and match. Looks really cute 😊❤
I love a warm vest. The secret is to buy down or a good substitute that is thin, yet warm. You don't want the bulk.
I occasionally buy concert t-shirts only if I like the design and do wear them after the concerts. I have a Bon Jovi one that is nearly 30 years old and I still wear it. Love pairing it with jeans and a blazer.
Fun vlog, Leonie.
1) Adidas Sambas: Many months ago, I ordered a pair of mint green ones. They didn't look good on my feet at all. But, I should have predicted such before ordering them as my feet don't do well in Adidas in general. I'm a serious Nike Jordan 1 Low person.
2) White Boots: For 3-4 years, I've had a pair of white, lace up, Doc Martens, but still haven't worn them. I bought them to wear with a specific outfit, but then decided on different footwear for the outfit.
3) Trench Coats: I find that one to be a tricky one to get right. But, when the Brandon Blackwood Mercer trend coat came out a couple years ago, I jumped on it and it fit to perfection. I got tired of looking for a regular trench coat in the traditional khaki tan color as I couldn't find the shade of khaki tan, cut, or price that I wanted. And I had sold my full-length black Burberry trench coat, bought in the 1990s.
4) Jeans with stretch: I personally detest stretch in jeans. But, sometimes one can't get around it these days.
5) Animal Prints: Have always loved them.
6) Concert T-shirts: They are usually only exciting for a while, but then end up in the bottom of a drawer. But, I'm glad that I bought my Tina Turner cotton knit jacket during her last concert tour as the quality is as high as regular jackets.
7) Sweatshirts: I have lots of them as they work for my climate. But, I don't thrift them. I have a very targeted collection of them, bought new.
8) Platform Sandals: I'm more for platform sneakers over sandals. As for sandals, Linea Paolo, from here in L.A. County, has nice sandals at good prices and great sale prices. Nice footwear in general. I remember when I bought my Fusbett style sandals in pony hair cheetah print around 5 years ago and they were great. I had them on the other day. And they didn't cost anywhere near the price of the high-end Fusbett sandals from the designer brand of which I'm sure you are familiar. I have bought Linea Paolo footwear for over a decade. When they throw sales, I get an e-mail and can easily find shoes marked down to $30/$40/$50 and sometimes a bit more. And I wear a size 41. For example, I love my PomPom Loafers that I bought months ago for $40 and they're still on final sale. I have a lot of their shoes.
9) Chunky Ankle Boots: That can be a tricky one since they need to hit at the right place on either the ankle or the lower calf area for me.
Greetings from Los Angeles
Some real good reminders for my next shopping trip!
So glad!
Thank you so much for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
The white chuncky boots .....i made the same mistake 😂😂😂😂. Never worn them 😢😢😢. Brand New. All leather. Going to sell them.
I love me a puffa vest❤
Nice!
I totally agree with the black Sambas. I tried so much but it just doesn’t work.
I really enjoyed this video. We all make purchases we regret so, to hear you was helpful. I agree with all your points except for the Black adidasSambas. I think they look good on everyone for winter.
I know you talked about angles not being flattering on the last boots slightly above your ankles, but thought those boots looked great on you and made you appear younger!!
Sorel has some great sport sandals. I like the kinetic versions.
I have those same white chunky boots. I regret buying them. 😞
Oh noooooo - what were we thinking? :(
Melissa Jelly fisherman sandals. Cool and flexible and come in loads of colours
This Was an excellent video 👏 I was pretty much having a YES moment to most of your regrets and I had to check MYSELF Thank You for this ❤
The animal print skirt I'd pair it with a black blouse and black boots or sandals
I love my sombas ! I did invest in the back pair, and I love wearing them with my black wide legs slacks.
I can relate to all your choices and I already knew the lug sole chelsea style calf boots were not going to suit me, so I'm glad I dodged that mistake. My partner lent me one of his puffer vest years ago because I'm often cold and they are really versatile and functional but I can never make myself wear it out in public lol. He looks amazing in his, but I just can't do it sorry! I wanted to buy some platform sandals for the height but they also don't move or flex when you walk, and I remember wearing them 20 or so years ago, and they were just a safety hazard in the end! I'm relieved even you make fashion mistakes. Great video :)
Yes to all of these! I've been doing a great deal of thrift shopping this year and noticed those colorful animal prints there. I think they look cheap and dated. On the other hand I love the look of the real leopard that's on trend right now. I believe it's a classic.
Puffer vests yes! Pacific Northwesr USA these are a practical must!
The best sandals that i find myself wearing all the time are the orthopedic type, they have cool styles now and not just the granny style. Many colours and styles but all so comfortable and arch supported, you can walk in them for days.
I LOL'd because i too buy the concert tshirts and never wear them.. its exactly what you said you get caught up in the moment and enjoy being a part of it and its a souvenir of seeing a band you loved. Everytime i get a T it ends up sitting unused - still i keep falling for it! 😂
SAME :(
Sandals. I've bought two pairs now of Gianluca sandals from Amazon. They're handmade in Italy, real leather straps AND soles, a bit expensive but not too much ($125 or so American), and they come in men's and women's sizes; they're about identical. I wear an EU size 42, bought both pairs in a 42, and could definitely have gone with a 41, maybe even a 40. They're a bit long. But if you're into earthing, or natural or rustic is your vibe, as it is mine, these are great sandals. It'll probably take them 20 years to wear out.
I found exact same problem with my sambas. Especially because I’m very short. Except I wear the black ones and never wear the white ones.
I get the large foot issues with shoes and also feel like Herman Munster when they are clumpy and flat. As a 5'10" woman baggy and clumpy are not flattering. Have always wondered what it would be like to have a cute and petite foot. However, lucky we have so many choices now, as back in the day it was not so.
No more jeans without stretch. I buy a T-shirt on every trip, concert, cool bar or restaurant I go to. It’s nuts. The SWEATSHIRT. . . I don’t want to admit to this. (DEEP BREATH) Okay. I LOVE sweatshirts. It’s epic. . . maybe an addiction. They must be very oversized. They must be plain or have the logo STITCHED on, and once I find one that meets the criteria, I keep it FOREVER! I decided to part with some, so I bagged them up and put them with the trash in the garage. My husband said he was going to the compacting station, and I panicked. There I was standing in the back of a pickup truck going through bags until I found them. I have some Eddie Bauer ones from the mid nineties. There. It’s all out there. I have a problem. I know. I know. I know. 🤷♀️🤦♀️
I buy too many sweatshirts also! I love them, but I don’t need anymore
I have a creamy bootie that is just there, 😂😂 never wore them. 💸 Ty hun!❤
I have some white boots...hoping they look good when it snows (white on white)
Perfect!
The cartoon animal prints are out and I agree with you,the skirt looks " off". Chunky boots look clunky now and dated. I never did the concert tee thing, I'm grateful for that!💙
Thanks for sharing Mikki x
I am guilty of the sweatshirt collection. I do wear them….at least most of them. I love them for my lifestyle. A regret for me is a white button up shirt. I hate them! I have never cared for how they fit for me so i just quit trying.
I am with you on the band tees. (I just bought one last month) i will wear it though, but i really do not need them.
Thanks for sharing Julie x
Lol I bought the puffa too however mine is a crop and looks OK with Jeans at the weekend dog walking
Nice!
I regret splurging on a north face vest too!!! I'm so glad someone agrees. I wanted to love it so much 😩
Right?!
Add to the list alot of shoes and boots that are made of “man made” material because they are stiff, give you blisters and your feet can’t “breathe”. Also ankle boots and taller that don’t have zipper access are super awkward to take on and off. The older you get the more you realize the way clothes and shoes feel may be even more important than the way they look!
I've only bought a few concert shirts as they were always too expensive for me at that time of my life, but I've run in some charity runs and a lot of these give you those unflattering cotton t-shirts and a friend of mine had all hers sewn into a quilt/blanket so she could have the memories but not have to wear them.
I have a trench suitable for California…lightweight and not really waterproof. Last spring I traveled to England and figured I would need a heavier trench, so I bought a second one. In two weeks in England, we had 1 day of rain. Now I have a trench I won’t need in sunny California. Guess I should have gone to England in August to experience heavy rain!😂
Nice video. I really can't imagine that you fail too. Sorry for not being sorry 🤣 the band shirts I only buy If they look great. And then I wear them.
Yes unfortunately I do fail - luckily it doesn't happen often LOL x
I made the same decision this year regarding non stretch jeans. It’s hard bc I love the look of them but if they fit well while I am standing, they will cut into me when I sit down. I have some expensive pairs too but I just never wear them. 😢
I totally agree! I have some expensive pairs too and just don't reach for them because I know they will restrict me when I sit down and I need to be comfortable these days!!
Exactly!! I can’t live my life afraid to sit down in my bootylicious jeans
I got sambas white with burgundy side stripes so comfy love it but black somehow dont look good and jeans i am curvy on bottom stretch its must
I hear you regarding sweatshirts! Just bought the red Target one you had on from your video. Love it though!
Yay! I love it too - it's such a great red right?
I absolutely love my black Sambas - and I am size 11.
Re: the black Adidas and white Docs
I am short, hourglass, with chunky legs and small feet - almost the opposite of you!. Black shoes make my feet look smaller and I look chunkier in the leg - UNLESS the black shoe is chunky too to bring some balance.
The white Docs would probably be good on someone like me as they would bring some balance by making my feet look less small. I have some tan Doc boots and they are great!
Loved those white boots on you! I do not like the colorful animal prints, yet I do one. I have a dark green top. I am going to phase it out this fall season but I will decide after wearing it at least once if it has a season left.
Oh, I so agree with you on the rigid platform sandals! I made repeated mistakes by being seduced purely by the look until I tried midform sandals from Teva. Lots of variations in colour and style but nothing beats their spongy sole.
Most of the items you mentioned, I would not have bought them in the first place, except for the trench coat. Lovely items for someone else, but not for me.Thanks a bunch. Enjoy your time in the USA.
I always (my humble opinion)thought black tennis shoes were ugly.... I bought a cream pair of chunky combat boots... I luv them.... Man if i had a dime for every piece that ended up donated or are STILL stagnant in my wardrobe id be wealthy.... Im proud of my animal print collection iv never got rid of any of it but i only have one piece of weird colored leapord... Leapord always comes back.... I didnt have to shop for it this year.... Wear your concert tshirts with animal print.... Boop!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great video! Now that you're in the US, you can try some mexican quality handmade huarache sandals. It's a classic piece for summer and there is a huge variety of them (less or more open etc.).
I love my black samba they look great with black long, short leather skirts and long leather with socks and tights. Getting caught in trends is pointless. Buy what you like. Anything you dont want sell on vinted, etc
❣❣❣Loved this video... very relatable.😉
That's great to hear thanks for watching x
I live in a cold weather state. Puffers are necessary. However, I am a short person. I only buy puffers that have small space stitching. If there is a big, square pattern--pass. If there is a design to the stitching especially if it gives the illusion of synching at the waist, yes. Nobody wants to look like the Michelin Tire man. If you want a 2nd or 3rd trench, the thrift it. Don't buy brand new.
That makes perfect sense!
I recently sold my black adidas samba trainers as I found they were also so hard to style. I’ll stick with the white or neutral colours in the future.
Leonie, check out these 2 Aussie (designed) brands for Fisherman sandals, Rollie and Radical Yes. I have 3 pairs and love them! I’d say they are a “mid” chunky style and both have good supportive, flexible soles.👍
I loves me some '90's hip hop t-shirts for working out in and I have one I wear on the regular
I love my concert T-shirts. Yes, they’re silly expensive but I wear mine a lot. And it’s part of the concert experience. 😀
I love chunky calf boots, but a contrasting sole makes them look less heavy 😊
I have a flatter puffy vest that is longer and has a drawstring to adjust and this was key to versatile styling. I have a shorter puffy vest and I have never found a way that I like it styled so I’m done with looking at this type of clothing 🦋🤗
I love my black sambas! lol. However, I have small feet. I’m a size 6 so they don’t have the flipper effect for me. 😂
On the subject of shoes, I have a friend that loves chunky ones bc she has small feet. She thinks the chunk balances her out. I do think we have to think of our proportions and shapes which includes shoes and with trends we need to evaluate if it suits us before purchasing. I’ve made so many purchase mistakes by not doing this. I’ve decided to up my game by using the index app to help me figure out what I will use before I buy more clothes. My closet is too full and in this world of too many clothes I definitely don’t want to contribute anymore.
I hear what your saying about ankle boots, I’m kind of the opposite. I have small calf muscles and bony ankles so I prefer boots that hit closer to my calf. As for concert t-shirts, I don’t wear them because I don’t like the dates on them. But I would rock a band t-shirt every day of the week if I could. I also like t-shirts from my favorite sports team. Not jerseys, t-shirts. 😊
Guilty of buying multiples - mostly due to not being able to decide which (eg. color) will be the "right" one to complement my wardrobe.
Feels the same way! I have some of those regrets for sure
Agree with everything🤪🤪👍I have never liked puffers, weird colour animal print or chunky shoes!🇿🇦
I live in Colorado and love my puffer jackets and vests. They really do keep me warm in Winter and everyone wears them here. Band tees, in my younger days when I went to concerts I bought them and wore them out I wore them so much.....today I would not really want them so much. I never jumped on the chunky shoe/boot trend...I am tall and have big feet so they are not for me.
Colorado here too and puffer vests are a basic collectable.
Colorado person here too! 🩷
Alohas backbone fisherman sandal … they were comfy from the get go and you can throw socks on with them !!! Just my thoughts I also like the Tod’s double bad dad sandals
OMG! Yesssss my addiction to sweatshirts is real. 💕
I wear my puffer vest with a tulle skirt or something feminine. I’m 56 and live in Switzerland, so in Winter I wear it under an elegant coat, and skip the puffer jacket
Hard NO to colorful animal print.. i am just beginning to even sort of like neutral animal print.. i do like to buy things i like in multiple colors but my teeny tiny closet curbs me in that thank goodness! I cannot stand heavy chunky shoes! They hurt. Too heavy!
I love my puffer vests. I’m in Colorado, and it’s very versatile for our weather. I love oversized rigid jeans. I generally buy vintage jeans that are rigid, but soft from numerous washes. I don’t really like sweatshirts, I have a couple that I wear camping otherwise I don’t wear them. I’m not a fan of clunky shoes. I bought a pair of chunky loafers, I just don’t reach for them.
Omg 😂yes I had some sliders and they had a hard sole frankinstien indeed I got rid of mine worn once totally with you on that ❤
