sometimes the algorithms on pinterest and tiktok unintentionally get us stuck in the trend cycle and convince us everyone is dressing the same. i see a lot of people hating on this but not many people offering solutions so i thought it'd be fun to create some outfits using things outside of social media as our styling reference!!

Hearing “not everyone can or want to leave the house” felt like a warm hug. I suffer from chronic pain which makes leaving the house rare for me. I love fashion but haven’t been able to properly dress up or feel cute lately. This video came at the perfect time❤
Hugs from another chronic pain haver ❤️❤️
I think some people don't realize that not everyone has the same feed. I'm interested in fashion and current trends and my feed looks nothing like what theirs looks like. I only learn about these trends through videos like yours
This! You have to put work into personalizing your algorithm just as much as you have to put work into developing personal style. I think the larger issue is the hyper fast trend cycle and the resultant instant gratification need for a magic formula- start viewing and saving diverse inspiration and you’ll get shown more
i agree, a lot of the style girlies i see on instagram and pinterest are all kind of looking the same even though we consider their styles "unique"
I just think we focus too much on being “unique”, “special” or different than everyone, to the point where dressing timeless and minimal is considered boring not exciting enough.
"We"
@@PuppyBIood yes...
@@angelhellokitti EXACTLY like being unique is coming to be a trend which is literally against the point of personal style
@@angelhellokitti and yeah i agree about the minimal thing, thats one thing i forgot to mention because sometimes on like tiktok and stuff ill see a styling video where the outfit is not cute LMAO but they can call it a stylish outfit just because its unique
Even though I don’t agree with the sentiment regarding Pinterest, I do appreciate the tips about finding styles that include architecture and even looking at old photo albums.
Also, I didn’t expect to see my favorite bird at 8:53, the Eurasian Hoopoe.
And I didnt expect to find a Chilco in 9:03
i'd be crazy happy if you brought the "dressing like" series back, i rewatch those all the time! i think i love it so much because i almost always just dress for vibe, i.e. whatever story i'm currently acting out in my head
it's always a good day when Katie posts! i absolutely love pinterest for inspo but the repetitive algorithm can be frustrating. thanks for the reminder to look elsewhere! kpop is always the biggest source for me. i'd love to see a video of kpop inspired fits from your albums or just favorite concepts!
ahhhh i hope you do character lookbooks again especially anime ones i miss themmn
istg every time Katie uploads I drop everything I'm doing just to watch it
I agree that sometimes itsnt easy to get inspired on how to channel your inner style, even more so when you live somewhere where weather is warm and you cant wear layers as much to upgrade your fit, but i agree that withdrawing inspo from shows, games, magazines will change the game!
having an awful day home alone and sick and just opened this app and i am so so happy u posted a new video, god bless ur lil soul imma cry
This was so cute! I think taking inspo from figures and albums is actually really cool, would love more fits inspired by blind boxes
Some movies that do have a lot of fashion focus but also just so beautiful that the photography and architecture are so beautiful that become an inspiration by themselves are Helter Skelter and The Love Witch. I love the heavy red in both of them but the vibe is still pretty different.
I love how creative and playful you always are with your fashion, it's so inspiring! My favorite looks were the hirono inspired one and the red and white flower one!
this is SO helpful bc while i love my pinterest feed, i do feel like the vibes of all the inspo it serves me up can be rather one-note at times. it was so inspiring to hear all the places you get inspo from!
I love that 2001 Head over heels film.. and the fashion in it.. I’m going to date myself, but I was a teenager when it came out and I wanted to dress like them 😅
a show that has shockingly fun fashion is Smallville i love the way lana and chloe dress
Hello hello, I just found you so disregard this if you already have a pair but there IS a style of boot that is super fairycore, in fact I've sometimes even seen them called "pixie" boots. They're also sometimes just called "slouch" boots. They're going to be totally flat, usually made out of suede/faux suede, have a ruched top of varying heights, an almond or pointed toe, and often times a little embellishment on the side like a tassel. I'm not sure how popular they still are but I know they were popular as recently as the late 2010s because I actually have a pair that my grandma purchased new at the time. I've been wearing them for years mostly as house shoes. super comfy!
The best inspiration for fashion,clothing is from outside those avenues
I used to have a book of puzzles (literally had he image on the left and then a like 50 piece puzzle on the right of that image) of a bunch of her fairy illustrations …I kept it for yearsss until my own daughter started playing with it and when we moved I realized that some of the pieces that were missing couldn’t found anywhere which was a bummer cause I’d kept it for like 20 years lol
I have that book with the maroon cover you showed in one of the slides of the fairy illustrations!! : O
and I would looove to see you do a w.i.t.c.h. isnpired lookbook, can't remeber if you did one already, I feel like you said you were going to but than ended up going in different directions and I just think you would nail the style of that comic so if I'm not misremembering and you don't have a w.i.t.c.h. video already I would again love to see your take on it!!
i second this!
Can you do a Nana or twilight look book?
Ngl I understand the sentiment, but personally this isn’t my case. I have used Pinterest ever since I heard Emma chamberlain preach about it in 2022. As a matter of fact I don’t have Instagram nor TikTok downloaded on my phone but I do have Pinterest. So I think I might not use this app like the lay person which is why I don’t feel it has become detrimental to my style, but the main reason why is that I have multiple styles in a way. I save pins but if I don’t like things, like the fur sweaters (ik shocker) I simply don’t. Also my clothes folder has a TON of sub-folders which are for different styles I enjoy or for seasons. This has actually made me realise about trends early on! I mean I loved the mermaid aesthetic and jelly aesthetic way back in 2022. And in early 2022 I loved the Russian hat aesthetic, and then bam! Also I do some of the things that you said like look at old pictures, I love Jane Birkin!! And also I am trying to rescue some 2010 trends lmao. Thus far I haven’t found much. Anyways idk maybe I’m blindly biased by the Pinterest masses who knows.
im obsessedddddd w the sevond outfit that is so so cute
5:24 100%! Very Strawberry Shortcake 🥰
I think a lot of content creators have the same feed… bc I don’t see fur coats on my Pinterest ever.
As someone from Brisbane herself, do you ever feel uncomfortable for dressing your true style in public? People in brissy dress so bland (THONGS WITH EVERY OUTFIT OF THE DAY) 😭
When I have no idea what to wear, I always turn to the Totally Spies, they never let me down
nobody is doing it like you queen, this video is another banger
the pure amount of dopamine i get when i see youve posted
fun! me too i'm tired to seeing pinterest recreation look that only consist of a white top (tee, blouse, button down shirt etc.), blue jeans and black Dc Martens and call it revolutionary... boring! if I see another beige coat on top of that 🙄
I think for me, Pinterest helped my personal style. But now, it’s kind of ruining it at the same time.
some suggestions for you for tv show lookbooks: x files (could be a fun challenge?), desperate housewives (!!!!), true blood (seasons 1-3) and or one piece (a op lookbook would be so gooood)
Video idea: How you would style the Mean girls 2024 remake? 🤩
i know this is unrelated but you have really introduced me to personal styles and building my own, so thank you so much
That last fit would go awesome with ur white cowgirl boots!! No need to buy new shoes :)
OOOoo! And with little pink bows tied on the sides
Omg Shirley Barber! I think I still have one of her books somewhere in storage, I'd probably cry if my mum got rid of them lol
This was so creative and gave me some great ideas! Thank you, Katie 🥰
Popmart Azura's are my absolute favorite!
I looove Hirono ❤
I’d be SO curious to know what you’d do for a Do Revenge-type style video 👀
Loved the white dress
Red tights look!😊
Love the concept ideas, and the fits, ESPECIALLY THE GHIBLI OUTFIT!!!!
Youre the only one I turn off ad blocker for :P
Damn pop mart has definitely a soft spot in my heart, I’m obsessed with it and my wallet knows it too 😂❤
You should style off of Buffy the vampire slayer! She always looks so good and is a 90s fashion icon.
My life is already ruined Pinterest can't hurt me and my 2000 pesos argentinos t-shirt from La Salada
loved this video idea !! ur a genius
It would be super cool if you did a dressing like Ruby Gloom characters video
Where do u get those cute dolls things? Also, can u get it in the uk?😍🥰
These are kind of random but I would be interested in a Code Name Kids Next Door or a Soul Eater look book!
Have you done a character video on the movie Kamikaze Girls?
I’m gay so a lot of style inspo for me comes from Sci fi. Problem is some of the utilitarian stuff I want is sooo expensive
Persona 5 Royal lookbook!
Late to the comment section but can you do a Sanrio look book? Love your vids btw 🩵🩷
what a cool idea for a video!!
does anyone know where the striped polo is from? 😍
12:53 there’s a manga called The Guy I was Interested in Wasn’t a Guy At All , you might like it?
It’s definitely cus you’re not in America! The nba tunnel pics are huge here, especially on twitter 😭
once the girlies are done learning to sew and full on creating their wardrobes, we need to move on to maing our own shoes. that will be how the girlies slay in 2033
Would you do a look recreation based on the show Crossing Jordan? 🥹
please do W.I.T.C.H. outfits
i love uuuuuuuuuuuuu ur so cool
Fight Club?
Damn first time im this early ✨️
So i just stumbled upon your channel and *𝘨𝘢𝘴𝘱 Tata plushie just chillin on the back >.
It's even harder to find inspiration in your 40s. Not only is it difficult to find anyone close to my age who posts outfits regularly, but even when they do, they're often wearing the same oversized and relaxed fit clothes that are trendy now and all in neutrals (and which make me look like I'm a child wearing hand-me-downs while cosplaying as a boring accountant... not exactly the look I'm going for at my age). I found your videos because I wanted to learn how to accessorize and wear more color, and it's fun to watch you take a character/idea and interpret it. I mean, you interpreted a flower and nailed it.
That's so awesome! I hate how Hollywood and the media in general paints it that women above 30 can't have fun with their style or clothes- if they don't dress like a typical suburban mom or are a mega-rich designer-wearing middle aged woman then any deviation from the norm makes you childish or "insecure"- not acting your age or whatever. It's so stupid and sexist and I hope you have lots of fun with your fashion!
Carla Rockmore has great videos featuring more “mature” fashion but with color and texture and fun accessories! I’ve learned a lot from her videos :)
I think one issue that makes styling more difficult is the sexual focus. I realized this when I watched a video on glam grandma’s and quite loved their style. They were loudly fashionable and enjoying life but modest the whole time. I think wanting to still dress a particular way into your 80’s means it is a good fit and not something that is just a trendy influenced style that crept into your wardrobe. You can see it with people who just age into their style and not out of it. One thing I think is that style should get more dramatic with age and not less.
Style B Jones is a good one to follow
So true! The only person that comes to mind for inspo to a "mature" audience is Trinny from Trinny London. She is bold with colors and texture. Other than that I can't find lots of inspirational channels, most stylists on YT from her "age group" are pretty boring... lots of beige beige beige...ugh.
Pinterest is my most used social media platform but it doesn't have a negative impact to my personal style since (like Katy) I have a lot of variety in my style I can dress very alternative, total black with punk elements and the next day I'd be dressed in cutesy elements, pastels and frills and the day after that Id be dressed with very muted colors, earth tones kinda post apocalyptic. So pinterest is really helpful when it comes to styling things differently and getting new ideas since Im not limiting myself to one style.
Also I like watching street style videos for inspo! You get to see all kinds of people and styles!
Same
I understood my personal style when i could find things in many different aesthetics and it still had my vibe to it.
I usually use pinterest for tips on how to style clothes I already wear in different ways, but mostly I use it for saving bias pics and sims 4 cc shopping 🤭
Sims 4 cc shopping is so real
same i look for ccs on pinterest too😭
there's so much pinterest cc 😭
cc shopping is real
Hey, a tip for fairy aesthetic footwear without purchasing new shoes could be using leg warmers in that colour palette and adding accessories to them like hair clips or even anklets (extra points for ones with butterflies or flowers), and putting that over a cute heel or may jane shoe. Also love the video and all your fits
I NEED a Coraline Inspired Lookbook. You would do to so well!! The colours the patterns the accessories! She's a real fashion icon
Coraline was literally the only reason why 6 year-old me was obsessed with raincoats, rain boots, newsboy caps, and striped stockings lol 😂 I wanted to be her sooo bad after watching the film on repeat
I would love to see a DC characters / Young Justice / Teen Titans look book ! I think it would be fun if you could use their suits as inspiration into something more casual :>>
YESSS👹 I am currently rewatching young Justice for the thousandth time and I seriously want one. I think it would turn out so well.
OMGG I was literally thinking of that the other day!!! it would be so fun
Bratz dolls were my favorite growing up and definitely inspired current staples of mine (platforms, mini skirts, cropped t’s)
This happened to me with classic 2000s Barbie movies
if you have a personal style that others don’t too, pinterest’s algorithm like…breaks 😭 i can’t find anything on there now
Taking inspiration from blind boxes' characters is a great idea!! I'd actually really enjoy a full video styling yourself as the blind box characters you already own ^^
Looking to fandoms always gives me really fun inspo for style! It's always really interesting to actually look at the clothes my favorite characters wear and see what I like about their designs. I've also taken a lot of inspo from fan art haha! I especially love when fan artists of the media that I like give the characters non canon or modern outfits that match their personalities!
I NEEDED this video as I struggle to find my personal style when being influenced way too much!! Thank uuu💞
Same!
wow as an aussie girl shirley barber was such a blast from the past - her illustrations were everything! also shout out to pearlie the park fairy for another book series that made me so jealous of fictional fairy fashion!!
I was born in 2005 but when you mentioned shirley barber i recognised those ilustrations instantly. I had a book with puzzles for pages and i was obsessed with them. You unlocked a childhood core memory within me
Internet archive has a lot of good books and magazines, including 2000s Japanese mags and doll magazines. Super handy
Party Girl (1995) is a really underrated film for fashion inspo!!
i have a small collection of acrylic charms of anime and video game characters that i can put on my phone and sometimes i try to make the color scheme and the vibes of my outfit match with whichever charm i picked that day! it helps me so much on days when i don't know what to wear
when you cut to the layered birthday cake outfit i literally mouthed "oh my god thats so cute" at my phone, the colors + patterns r so fun and striking together
Whenever i think i am at the peek of my knowledge about how to be creative and unique in fashion i watch one of your videos and realize that i am not and that there is way more possibilities of making it that i still have to figure it out and experiment. And it doesn't hurt my confidence about my creativity capacity at all, actually its the opposite, it makes me even more inspired to be creative on the way i dress! Thank you for the videos and sorry for any writing mistake, i am from Brazil haha
Honestly, my biggest problem with Pinterest has never been the fashion/styling side of the platform, but rather the "artist" side AKA the people who repost others' arts, without credit, permission, or worse, claiming it as their own. And this sometimes even bleeds into the styling side of Pinterest, what with so many amazing artists posting about their cool fashion designs. Otherwise, to each their own on how to curate their boards and feeds !!
Everskies, tiny toys and dolls, xiaohongshu and instagram art and kpop idols concept photos are my mains for inspo
it's so nice to see u in ur element, drawing on all the things u love!! also digging the kenma hair tbh
I am in love with that strawberry beret! Can you do a Strawberry Shortcake inspired lookbook?
As an autistic person, Pinterest always overwhelms me.
It feels again like I'm "behind" constantly, never fitting in with the right trend at the right time.
I used to hyperfocus on other people's style, in order to fit in.
I also never get how trends are set. Who decides what's trendy when?
And if something doesn't make sense to me, it makes me confused.
I felt mostly stress when I think about personal style, never really knowing what I liked to wear.
Now, I know my comfort clothes , but nothing is set in stone & I'm looking forward to have fun with clothes again.
Your video helped me.
I feel so inspired!!
Thank you, truly 💖💖💖
That cake outfit is chef’s kiss🧁🥰
I love how you aim to be and succeed at being helpful like this-when people only throw out criticism but not any ideas and solutions on how to fix things or do better, it can be just really negative and depressing.
How do I get inspired…? By watching YOUR videos! 🤭✨
the cake outfit reminds me of gokinjo monogatari ! (also i love ur soobin pc.. >u
yeah where I live most people have absolutely no style 😂
OMG! Shirley Barber, yes! I found my books the other day.
I do love pinterest, its just inspo. I have many a sub board in my fashion board for the different vibes i like. A lot of them intertwine, but im trying to amp up the fantasy inspiration. I go to LARP and the costume and character design is by far my favourite part so I am trying to pull that into everyday fits.
love to see u more active around here. you're sooo creative!
haven’t even watched this yet but ik it’s a banger
please do a sex and the city lookvideo
Dress like totally spice characters pls!!!
I would love to see videos where you style outfits based on cartoons like scott pilgrim or movies like legally blonde!! Love your videos :-)
I have a hard time on putting outfits together that are considered business casual (for work) while still being me. :/
7:18 yesss loved his Met Gala look! Love that you included NBA tunnel fits in this, inspiration can be found ANYWHERE
