Love these styling videos! I would love to see one of all "office appropriate" outfits ranging from casual but nice (i call boutique style) all the way to suits! It'll challenge you because your shoe choices and and other outfit choices will totally have to change!
I am heartbroken that people think cheetah print is outdated lol but loved the video! I always love seeing how you style garments because it's so wildly different from me. ☺
I mean I don't believe in the whole consept of trends but I think animal print is something you either hate or love and not something that truly goes in or out of style. It just depends on the person.
The galaxy bandeau outfit was one of my faves! The idea of layering it under something you never would have seen it with in the 2010s-a denim vest-made it feel current bc it wasn’t so clearly 2010s galaxy print anymore, but more of a general abstract print.
I loved them when I was a kid but they aren't flattering on me now. I did quite like it with the denim dress though, turned the texture into an accent, just like the zebra outfit. Red looks great with black and white! I think perhaps if we had more than just long/short sleeved crew neck popcorn shirts, more of us would wear them. I dunno, maybe a vest, maybe partial popcorn texture and another part smooth or even sheer sleeves- ah but who knows. Did they ever come out with patterns even or has it always been solid? A cherry or floral.. maybe even cute mushrooms.. sorry sorry
I’m from NJ so Leopard Print is a neutral and you can’t tell me any different 😂. Leopard print for life! Love how you styled it. I literally wear it head to toe because Peg Bundy is my style icon
I really like this series because there's a nice undertone that we don't necessarily have to buy new pieces to stay current. Although I have never had Jeggings myself (I'm a legging only in the gym gal), I really liked how you styled them, but do think they look inauthentic only because of the color but what do I know lol. Also I'm personally loving animal print throughout the decades so I'm here for allll of that!
I definitely think mine were a little off haha like the painted on button really wasn’t doing anything for it! There’s definitely others out there that give that legging feel but don’t look so fake! Also yeah animal print forever!
I still wear some of these lol, no-one can take my cardigans! Although the galaxy print leggings/ hoodies/ backpacks/ etc brought back some 2013 memories wow
I love these videos! I don't really buy new trends anymore, but I still have quite a few pieces from the 2010s in my closet that I like, but feel just out of style in, and your ideas give me so much inspiration!
I am saying this as a non fashionable, late 80s baby- I feel like you really respected those green swirly pants with the retro white boots. (Quite frankly, flares/ bell bottoms are my absolute favorite pants style. I don't care what anyone says.) The beauty of our current era is that we have access to so many past generations' styles and trends. My mom was born in the mid 50s and loves that she can safely revisit different era pieces and no one cares! You were a square if you wore something from a prior decade. I like your approach and willingness to try pieces you may not have liked the first time around- and you're for sure allowed to have an unchanged opinion. I like buying things second hand and even hand-me-downs from older generations in my family- not necessarily always vintage but just someone with a differing style. I truly believe clothing items and accessories look different on everyone. We all have different personalities and carry ourselves differently. It's fun to make something unique to you. Perhaps I'll eventually take the time to learn how to make/alter my own clothes. My clothing tastes are all over the board - 40s, 60s, 70s, geeky t-shirts, any piece of jewelry that held sentimental value to a loved one. I wait forever to choose and it's purely coincidental if I like something trendy. I'm an introvert that is thoughtful with the details of outfits - I would never claim to be good at it but I enjoy the process and the occasional nostalgia, even if just vicarious. Okay, chatty introvert has written too much. Have a good evening! Off to rabbit hole into more videos. :)
This is such a brilliant idea! What a great alternative to constantly throwing out your clothes and shopping for new ones in order to keep up with trends (which seem to go out of style faster and faster, don’t they?). Truly sustainable to be able to give what you already have new life. Love it! 👏
I would love a video of you styling your new overalls and maybe even the denim dress in this video for the different seasons! I recently thrifted some overalls and I struggle to wear them in the summer!
I really like the way you styled the culottes and the popcorn shirt! And galaxy print will never be out of style in my heart 💫 Thanks for all the inspo for how to wear our old clothes again!
I feel like long cardigans should never go out of style. I mostly wear them when it’s Fall or Spring weather with a bralette top, flare pants, and heeled/platform shoes. The coverage of the cardigan makes me feel less scandalous about wearing a bralette as a shirt, lol. 😁
Been really into long cardigans these days but recently I've only been able to find cropped ones :( Long cardigans are perfect for whimsigoth and dark academia (two aesthetics I've been exploring quite a lot)
Omg I loved this video so much!! I’m gonna write a long comment, I’m so sorry, but I loved so many things! First of all, Justice girlies unite!!! I don’t think I’ll ever grow out of my love for sequins and all things glitz and glam. I am the queen of tunics, I will wear them til I die. They provide such fun layering opportunities; you could layer a long skirt under it and top it with like a cropped shirt layer or a flowy vest and some belts; the possibilities are endless!!! If I were styling the galaxy bandeau, I would probably wear a turtleneck underneath it (either a solid neutral color or a small print like ditsy florals or pinstripes to contrast the big galaxy print) tucked into some wide leg or flare pants in either a contrasting color like red or yellow or an analogous color like green or purple, and probably the same shoes as you. Maybe add a sheer layer on top. I love the outfits you created for the psychedelic pants!! I feel like this trend was just an updated version of the marble trend that was so popular for a hot minute. I don’t think I’ll personally ever go back to jeggings, but you styled them pretty cute; if someone still has them, I think it’d be worthwhile for them to try to make it work in their wardrobe still. 10/10 video, I look forward to your videos every week!! One of my fave TH-camrs.
I totally forgot to say when cow print dies, I’ll die with it. And I’ve always loved cheetah print. Ever since I was a kid, animal prints were the height of fashion in my opinion.
i love when u experiment with prints and these videos need to be viral tbh!!! people should be less obsessed with being on trend and instead finding their style
I love that top too and am trying to find something similar! It's not over the top flashy. It's more versatile than most and just looked super cool with some flipped the other way- almost grungy.
These videos are so fun! I will say that I think there’s a difference between what’s outdated vs what’s trendy. Like I wouldn’t say long cardigans and cheetah print are “outdated” necessarily but they’re not trendy either? I think they’re too much rooted in “classic” fashion to ever be completely passé. Tunics, sequins & culottes are a toss-up depending on the style (like that red boot outfit was fabulously executed and not at all outdated imo). I think the only ones that are viewed as extremely outdated (across most generations) are galaxy print, popcorn tops & jeggings because they’re so niche and more of a shortlived fad than a longer-running trend.
Sometimes I feel like these types of videos contribute to the ever-increasing speed of the fast fashion cycles, by bringing attention to outdated looks to people that would have never known otherwise and might now feel bad about their wardrobes. BUT, I think the way that you have been doing this series shows that you don't actually have to feel bad about your wardrobe and "outdated styles" at all and can keep these fashions in your wardrobe.
YES! That first look with the popcorn top! It's worth wearing an underlayer with just to get that texture that I was utterly stumped by when you mentioned it.
Great video Alexa ❤️ This video made me laugh because I wore one of these outdated trends today. And wore another one of the outdated trends yesterday.
the cheetah print as a top with the brown leather and the converse!!! i love it!!! i’m not even a cheetah print person but something about that is working for my brain
Me either! Animal prints are not my thing but this was pretty. When she tucked it in I was surprised how I felt! It was lovely. The styling and even the material helped me like this one.
The way you styled the cullottes reminded me of the way I used to wear just-past-the-knee trousers with long boots or even long stripy socks back in the early 2000s...love it!
I just found some amazing longer cashmere thrifted cardigans for a steal. I never wore these in the 2010's but I'm excited to style them with your suggestions especially to dress down a flirty shorter dress. :)
These are great! Honestly i think the bandeau and galaxy print with the dark vest was great, i think the main thing it needed was a necklace or something in that area to balance things out a bit
I'd say the flared printed leggings are still a thing here in the Netherlands, especially in student cities. Part of the student couture haha. I loved the culotte outfits!
I thought the same thing! I’m an American college student and I see people wearing those printed flared leggings all the time. I was browsing at pacsun and they had those pants there. However, I think a big thing turn off for them was that they became synonymous with shein clothing
Great video! I was thinking these pieces would be interesting in showing different styles- for example the culottes fit into the Japanese minimalist style, the galaxy leggings would fit into the tik tok maximalist style, and just by changing the silhouette of the long cardigan to be more ‘rounded’/trendy it would fit into the soft/cottagecore ish style
A lot of these trends are just beginning to come back in the UK tbh that tunic is so nice + I’ve seen quite a few ppl beginning to wear crop trousers also
That purple tunic top, paired with a silver or grey, see through, chiffon skirt, black wide mesh fishnets(black boyleg underwear) and lime knee high boots(or just black Docs), would look bomb. Style that with your hair straightened, parted and gelled back at the front and long, silver, rhinestone chandelier earings and a little black bag. Lime green earings or citrine yellow if or Valentino pink hoop earings if you wear with the Docs. Well... that's what I would do 😄 Oh- and a neon pink, a-line, long skirt in a matt or leather look material paired with the red popcorn top(cropped a lot shorter). But I loved how you styled these too x
Love these videos such a fun way to rethink some stuff we might have in our wardrobe! Makes me want to try and figure out how to style this old skater skirt dress I just found in the back of my closet!
I so appreciate the outfit with the swirly pants I bought a ton of those because I was an art teacher and it looked like paint and then I quit my job... I still like it though I've just been wearing it with more neutrals rather than like the full on Y2K vibe
Love that you’re going back in time! Very ballsy. Fits with the whole wear whatever you want slogan you’ve got going on and is personally inspiring because I love some out of style trends..But just so you know, the word culottes translates to panties in French….there is probably a different word for that 🤣 *edit Making « trends’ work whenever make one seem infinitely more stylish and timeless
They are called culottes in English! It’s from the same root, a split skirt or wide leg cropped trouser that was a historic undergarment! They are also basically the same as Gauchos.
I honestly love jeggings! I find regular jeans to be kind of uncomfortable and tight for me so I like using jeggings as my alternative because they look like regular jeans but feel as comfortable as leggings. Except the jeggings I own do look more like regular jeans then the ones you wore in this video so it’s not obvious that I’m not wearing regular jeans and they are easier to style.
I am giggling over you styling the jeggings exactly how they were worn in 2010. 🤣 AND pairing the popcorn top with the animal print flares! Nobody wore those tops here except middle aged Chinese ladies. And that is Exactly how they wore it!
These videos are interesting to me solely because they remind me of how out of the loop I am with fashion. Like I didn’t realize culottes weren’t in anymore, I bought some linen ones ober the summer and thought that I was on trend haha
Yay for tunics with shorts and short skirts! I have no problem wearing them with anything, but this is the first trend shows me a smart way to wear a short shorts or a miniskirt in cold weather. I can pair it with tunic and leggings for fall and early winter and that high-low look will make it work well, while it stays warm and has the usual seasonal leg coverage.
I'm obsessed with the blue sheer lace dress hanging in the background, has that been featured in a video yet so I can see it in all its glory?! If not please show us soon I'm in love! 😍
Alexa, thank you for this video. As an older person, it feels weird to see trends from my younger years becoming en vogue again. Some of them I love - like chunky shoes. Some eeehhh not so much - miniskirts, etc. I do live my life and dress unapologetically, because the only person who has to be concerned about what I wear is me. Toodles.
I’m a millennial and live in skinny jeans with tall boots in the fall/winter. Especially those superrrr skinny jeans. Throw on a big top and some tall boots and you are good to go. Also all jeans needs holes in the knee! Loll 💕💕
Your hair in this video looks so good!!!! You look amazing and the honest self reflection, without beating yourself up is a really great roll model feature.
You really good at doing almost the impossible in styling all kind of thing that others might have looked over while thrifting. I have about 2 accordion tops, this work good for me because I am rather large in the chest and these tops looked like fun. That bandeau would have looked really good layered over a button up shirt or a fitted pulled on top or over a dress to add and give it a statement. Designers are influence by what they have seen, or experience and you should not be surprised that runway can be coming from street style photos as their muse. So, we all should be dressing all for self-expression. I am 60 and I feel like I actually seen it all at this point and so this Fall/Winter, I going to try to experiment and have some fun with it. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come.
No way! Those wavy green patterned pants bring back childhood memories… I literally had the SAME set with matching top. It was for our routine in tap dancing class. This was way back in 2002 & we danced to Michael Jackson, it was a whole vibe. 😂
Anyone can do videos styling what is trendy now... to style clothing that is 5 or 10 years old.. super creative and fun to watch.. like someone else mentioned.. ballsy.. i really enjoyed this
Some of this outfits made me believe not a single soul would look good wearing this "trends". I like your sense of style and that you tried to make it work but this tunic, jeggins and galaxy top needs to be buried asap
Still having long open cardigans, I'm saving your new idea to style them for sure! Also, I LOVE galaxy print (as an astronomy enthusiastic), and I hoped it would never go out of style, and now you can't find items with this pattern at all! (unfortunately my few items with this print have being worn out after a few years so now I don't have any :()
Yay, someone that likes galaxies for astronomy or even scientific reasons! Sure, it's beautiful but I have my geeky reasons too. One trend for items with constellations (well for multiple decades really) has been zodiac related. I don't dislike astrology, or even sci-fi (I mention because of the large amount of green men when searching for space themed things to buy.. I myself am partial to xenomorphs and Timelords lol but that's not my point) but we need more things that celebrate the beauty and incredibly interesting aspects of space. I have reused my favorite galaxy image as my phone lock screen for 4 phones now. Would love to have galaxy clothes that don't fade quickly!
I was surprised how much I liked it as well! When I thrifted that top like three months ago I was really spectacle about how I’d be able to make it work!
Love these videos!! It's good to remind ourselves to try to think of new ways to style things outside of the ways we had been used to seeing them. The taller boots with the Capri were definitely the move!
Yes! I don't really own anything sheer that would look good with it like I have my white sheer nightie that I think over a floral or just different patterned bandeau would have worked, but it just looked off with the galaxy print. Definitely should have thought about the styling a little bit more, but everything I put with it just didn't work whereas I think galaxy print leggings could be more fun to style!
@@alexasunshine83 I wouldn’t have anything sheer to put either but in my head maybe a sheer button down would be cool. I still like the outfits you put together though even if the Jean vest hid the pattern a bit I liked the contrast with the Jean!
I don't really go for cheetah myself but I think it's fine as an accent and not the focal point of an outfit. It can also be good with the clashing pattern look if you're creative with it
I have to say that this time I hate all of those trends except the clouettes and long cardigans. I used to wear jeggings and tunics allll the time in high school. I also like popcorn tops and sequins, but it depends on the cut of the garment.
Listen, people can take my cheeta print skirt from my cold dead hands. Also half of my work wardrobe before the pandemic was long open cartigans. So comfy!!
I'm a retired librarian and I'll probably be buried in a long cardigan. I'll never, ever stop wearing and loving them!
My favorite long cardigan is a librarian approved black cashmere men's button up from our local museum's white elephant sale 😀
@@juanitacarrollyoung2979 that sounds like a fabulous find!
Also a former librarian, annnnd yup. Is it especially a librarian thing? 😂🙌
I’m studying to be a librarian and have loved the same long cardigan for 5 years, it was meant to be 😂
I am not a librarian but same. I live in open long cardigans from fall to spring. 😄
These “out-dated” videos are some of my favorites. You are unbelievably creative; so many great ideas!!!
I enjoy these too Alexa.
Some of these go nerver out of style but can use a revamp.
Thank you and I m saying:"I want more"
Love these styling videos! I would love to see one of all "office appropriate" outfits ranging from casual but nice (i call boutique style) all the way to suits! It'll challenge you because your shoe choices and and other outfit choices will totally have to change!
Idk why offices care if you wear like doc marten boots as long as they look nice. I don’t get it
I think the galaxy print bandeau would be cute if you layered it under a dark sheer dress to lean into the celestial/witchy/night sky aspect!
Ooh yes, I LOVE this idea! But then, that’s totally my vibe in general ✨
Ooooh! I see it !!!
I am heartbroken that people think cheetah print is outdated lol but loved the video! I always love seeing how you style garments because it's so wildly different from me. ☺
Cheetah is actually a foundational print for me. I am choosing to ignore that it’s “outdated.”
@@alexmcginness8859 Foundational is such a good way to put it! I think I will also choose to ignore that it's "outdated" 😜
I mean I don't believe in the whole consept of trends but I think animal print is something you either hate or love and not something that truly goes in or out of style. It just depends on the person.
Cheetah is one of my neutrals haha
That’s leopard tho??
The galaxy bandeau outfit was one of my faves! The idea of layering it under something you never would have seen it with in the 2010s-a denim vest-made it feel current bc it wasn’t so clearly 2010s galaxy print anymore, but more of a general abstract print.
Yeah I felt the same I actually really liked it as well
I laughed out loud at the mention of the Alison DiLaurentis top😂😂 PLL is a perfect time capsule of 2010s fashion!
Very true. I was obsessed with all the fashion on that show back then
Hahahaha lol
Honestly the ways you styled popcorn were super cute! I was not expecting that
I thought it was going to be the hardest one too!
I loved them when I was a kid but they aren't flattering on me now. I did quite like it with the denim dress though, turned the texture into an accent, just like the zebra outfit. Red looks great with black and white! I think perhaps if we had more than just long/short sleeved crew neck popcorn shirts, more of us would wear them.

A cherry or floral.. maybe even cute mushrooms.. sorry sorry
I’m from NJ so Leopard Print is a neutral and you can’t tell me any different 😂. Leopard print for life! Love how you styled it. I literally wear it head to toe because Peg Bundy is my style icon
I am not from NJ BUT! I do believe leopard/cheetah print is a neutral. The amount of animal print I own is obscene. Love Peg Bundy😍
@@DemiBoBemi yesss! Leopard print everything all the time
@@jennywhiskey9327 🙌🙌🙌
Yes! I also think it’s classic. I love the 90s so many of those shows influenced my fashion sense and I also say animal print is a must 👍
Hell yes!
I really like this series because there's a nice undertone that we don't necessarily have to buy new pieces to stay current.

I definitely think mine were a little off haha like the painted on button really wasn’t doing anything for it! There’s definitely others out there that give that legging feel but don’t look so fake! Also yeah animal print forever!
I still wear some of these lol, no-one can take my cardigans!
Although the galaxy print leggings/ hoodies/ backpacks/ etc brought back some 2013 memories wow
I have a galaxy print mesh shirt that a freaking love!! It’s so cute
On casual Fridays, I heard that cheetahs often run around wearing denim jeans to avoid a fashion cat-astrophe.
😂😂😂😂
I love these videos! I don't really buy new trends anymore, but I still have quite a few pieces from the 2010s in my closet that I like, but feel just out of style in, and your ideas give me so much inspiration!

Gaucho's were ICONIC!! I thought I was a fashion icon when I wore mine to my 5th grade Chorus recital 😂 they truly were the moment lol
Yeeeeeees!!! Same haha I wore my every single day because I thought they were such a fashionable piece!
that tunic would be so cute w fishnets, a black skirt, docs, and layered necklaces!! effy from skins vibes~
Red popcorn top, black & white pants are fire!!
Thank youuuuu ! ❤️
Imho animal print never ever goes out of style 🖤
I feel the same!
I agree. Every time it comes "in" (which is every other year seems like), I think "what the heck, it never went out".
Agreed! Animal prints are my favorite esp cheetah/leopard. And I also love to wear them with black 😄
I would love a video of you styling your new overalls and maybe even the denim dress in this video for the different seasons! I recently thrifted some overalls and I struggle to wear them in the summer!

i like them to show my metal tshirts. They aren't meny long sleeved
Ah I got my fingers crossed you find some 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

It was a joy reading your long comment 💕💕💕
I actually liked the first tunic/tiered top look. I used to have a pink popcorn top growing up that I absolutely loved!
Let's face it, there is no saving the jeggings 😂
😅😅 I tried !!! I think if the painted on pockets and seams weren’t so obvious it’d be way better
i love when u experiment with prints and these videos need to be viral tbh!!! people should be less obsessed with being on trend and instead finding their style
Love the sequence top in the black pants! It’s a fancy outfit. It looks great on you.

Do a Halloween costume video with only things that are in your closet! Helps us last minute people lol.
Check out Mary’s Rack.

I cannot wait for tunic length tops to come back! I’ll never switch to shorter tops and they’re so hard to find nowadays.
actually the galaxy fit came out great! i think bold prints like that visually look better in a small dose :)
The galaxy bandeau looks awesome but I think it needs a see through / lacy / crocheted shirt / blouse over it.
Definitely agree !
I'd say the flared printed leggings are still a thing here in the Netherlands, especially in student cities. Part of the student couture haha. I loved the culotte outfits!

Oh- and a neon pink, a-line, long skirt in a matt or leather look material paired with the red popcorn top(cropped a lot shorter).
But I loved how you styled these too x
Love these videos such a fun way to rethink some stuff we might have in our wardrobe! Makes me want to try and figure out how to style this old skater skirt dress I just found in the back of my closet!
Yes!!!! I styled a skater skirt in the last episode of this, but I think maybe next time I’ll do a skater dress!
I think I'd style a skater dress with tights, a slightly oversized jumper and flat boots.
I so appreciate the outfit with the swirly pants I bought a ton of those because I was an art teacher and it looked like paint and then I quit my job... I still like it though I've just been wearing it with more neutrals rather than like the full on Y2K vibe
Popcorn top + zebra pants was definitely a hit for sure :)
I wouldve done the galaxy top and shirt but like add some see thru long sleeve shirt but the outfit was almost perfect just needed a little something
Love that you’re going back in time! Very ballsy. Fits with the whole wear whatever you want slogan you’ve got going on and is personally inspiring because I love some out of style trends..But just so you know, the word culottes translates to panties in French….there is probably a different word for that 🤣
*edit
Making « trends’ work whenever make one seem infinitely more stylish and timeless
They are called culottes in English! It’s from the same root, a split skirt or wide leg cropped trouser that was a historic undergarment! They are also basically the same as Gauchos.
Yeah I found when I googled gauchos versus culottes, culottes tend to be longer than gauchos, but yeah funny that it translate to that haha
My animal print phase turned into a lifestyle 🥲
I honestly love jeggings! I find regular jeans to be kind of uncomfortable and tight for me so I like using jeggings as my alternative because they look like regular jeans but feel as comfortable as leggings. Except the jeggings I own do look more like regular jeans then the ones you wore in this video so it’s not obvious that I’m not wearing regular jeans and they are easier to style.
Jeggings are comfortable from American eagle
Yeah definitely think some that are just painted on seams would be waaaay easier to style! They definitely were comfy as well!
"When you touch yoursel-" HAHA that is perfect way to describe reversible sequin shirts
Yay new video 😊
💕💕💕💕
By the way I'm from India....♥️♥️
Long open cardigans are my favorite things! They are my staples in the colder months
I am giggling over you styling the jeggings exactly how they were worn in 2010. 🤣
AND pairing the popcorn top with the animal print flares! Nobody wore those tops here except middle aged Chinese ladies. And that is Exactly how they wore it!
That popcorn top unveiled DEEP memories !! Loved the way it was styled
These videos are interesting to me solely because they remind me of how out of the loop I am with fashion. Like I didn’t realize culottes weren’t in anymore, I bought some linen ones ober the summer and thought that I was on trend haha
I love you for casually featuring the crownprincess of england in her olive caprice trousers :D
Yay for tunics with shorts and short skirts! I have no problem wearing them with anything, but this is the first trend shows me a smart way to wear a short shorts or a miniskirt in cold weather. I can pair it with tunic and leggings for fall and early winter and that high-low look will make it work well, while it stays warm and has the usual seasonal leg coverage.
You, like your personality and your fashion sense, are just FAAAABULOUS!!!!!
You are so kind 😭
I really love these videos! I think it’s important to show that you can continue to get life out of clothing.
I'm obsessed with the blue sheer lace dress hanging in the background, has that been featured in a video yet so I can see it in all its glory?! If not please show us soon I'm in love! 😍
Alexa, thank you for this video. As an older person, it feels weird to see trends from my younger years becoming en vogue again. Some of them I love - like chunky shoes. Some eeehhh not so much - miniskirts, etc. I do live my life and dress unapologetically, because the only person who has to be concerned about what I wear is me. Toodles.
I’m a millennial and live in skinny jeans with tall boots in the fall/winter. Especially those superrrr skinny jeans. Throw on a big top and some tall boots and you are good to go.
Also all jeans needs holes in the knee! Loll
💕💕
It’s such a cozy look!
Your hair in this video looks so good!!!! You look amazing and the honest self reflection, without beating yourself up is a really great roll model feature.
I had galaxy leggings with a unicorn 🦄 on one leg and a robot dinosaur 🦖 on the other...haha they were so over the top 😂
The tiered top looks good with leather pants, if you have it, try it :) Reminds me of a Nana like rock/grungy style.
Ooo perfect. I just got some hand me down flared capri jeans that i love the idea of, but wasnt sure how i was actually going to wear them!
Got you ! 💕
I love Cheetah! And Zebra and Cow lol…animal prints for life!
You should style the bandeau top over a white button up! Very cute!
You really good at doing almost the impossible in styling all kind of thing that others might have looked over while thrifting. I have about 2 accordion tops, this work good for me because I am rather large in the chest and these tops looked like fun. That bandeau would have looked really good layered over a button up shirt or a fitted pulled on top or over a dress to add and give it a statement. Designers are influence by what they have seen, or experience and you should not be surprised that runway can be coming from street style photos as their muse. So, we all should be dressing all for self-expression. I am 60 and I feel like I actually seen it all at this point and so this Fall/Winter, I going to try to experiment and have some fun with it. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come.
I've honestly wanted to bring back the popcorn top ever since it went out, thank you so much for including it 😂
yes do it do it !!
No way! Those wavy green patterned pants bring back childhood memories… I literally had the SAME set with matching top. It was for our routine in tap dancing class. This was way back in 2002 & we danced to Michael Jackson, it was a whole vibe. 😂
Anyone can do videos styling what is trendy now... to style clothing that is 5 or 10 years old.. super creative and fun to watch.. like someone else mentioned.. ballsy.. i really enjoyed this
Love these types of videos you do!
Some of this outfits made me believe not a single soul would look good wearing this "trends". I like your sense of style and that you tried to make it work but this tunic, jeggins and galaxy top needs to be buried asap
Have not watched yet, but thank youuu Alexa
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Still having long open cardigans, I'm saving your new idea to style them for sure!
Also, I LOVE galaxy print (as an astronomy enthusiastic), and I hoped it would never go out of style, and now you can't find items with this pattern at all! (unfortunately my few items with this print have being worn out after a few years so now I don't have any :()
Yay, someone that likes galaxies for astronomy or even scientific reasons! Sure, it's beautiful but I have my geeky reasons too. One trend for items with constellations (well for multiple decades really) has been zodiac related. I don't dislike astrology, or even sci-fi (I mention because of the large amount of green men when searching for space themed things to buy.. I myself am partial to xenomorphs and Timelords lol but that's not my point) but we need more things that celebrate the beauty and incredibly interesting aspects of space. I have reused my favorite galaxy image as my phone lock screen for 4 phones now. Would love to have galaxy clothes that don't fade quickly!
I think the popcorn shirt surprised me so much. It really did look great. Due to your styling of course.
I was surprised how much I liked it as well! When I thrifted that top like three months ago I was really spectacle about how I’d be able to make it work!
Love these videos!! It's good to remind ourselves to try to think of new ways to style things outside of the ways we had been used to seeing them. The taller boots with the Capri were definitely the move!
For the galaxy print bandeau, to show the print maybe wear something sheer over it!
Yes! I don't really own anything sheer that would look good with it like I have my white sheer nightie that I think over a floral or just different patterned bandeau would have worked, but it just looked off with the galaxy print. Definitely should have thought about the styling a little bit more, but everything I put with it just didn't work whereas I think galaxy print leggings could be more fun to style!
@@alexasunshine83 I wouldn’t have anything sheer to put either but in my head maybe a sheer button down would be cool. I still like the outfits you put together though even if the Jean vest hid the pattern a bit I liked the contrast with the Jean!
The popcorn top tied with the zebra print pants you knocked it out of the park!
you smashed it! I actually really loved the galaxy print bandeau outfit??? it made me want a vest which I never thought would happen
I don't really go for cheetah myself but I think it's fine as an accent and not the focal point of an outfit. It can also be good with the clashing pattern look if you're creative with it
The striped sequin top and faux leather pants - absolutely stunning!!!! Xx
That stripe sequin top is so good!
Cheeta print is a neutral-and I stand by that!
I have to say that this time I hate all of those trends except the clouettes and long cardigans. I used to wear jeggings and tunics allll the time in high school. I also like popcorn tops and sequins, but it depends on the cut of the garment.
Listen, people can take my cheeta print skirt from my cold dead hands. Also half of my work wardrobe before the pandemic was long open cartigans. So comfy!!
This might be a hot take but the bandeau outfit was actually one of my favorites 🫢
Anyways, I'm completely on board if Galaxy Print ever wants to come back. I'm gonna become the pioneer
Trust me once I find some secondhand galaxy print leggings, I’m gonna grab them and try styling them!!
Loving the bob natural hairstyle looks so great on you!
Cool outfits as always! ❤
❤️❤️❤️
I wear long cardigans like yours all the time. Warm and some of mine have pockets (which is handy!) and kind of elevate an outfit.
I think the red popcorn top would look cool with white baggy high waisted trousers, a black leather belt and the docs
The way you can wear the bandeau now is under a mesh or open knit sweater top or dress :D
Loved the popcorn top outfits and I agree the black suede vest looks better with the galaxy bandeau!
why is the popcorn top under the denim dress kinda a fit
