    to the people saying that she's following trends: I can't speak for her, but keep in mind that liking something trendy doesn't mean you like it BECAUSE it's trendy. she might wear something that's considered trendy, but that doesn't mean she is doing it for the sake of the trend, she might genuinely like it. also, almost all fashion is trendy in some corner of the internet. it just matters what you genuinely like and will stick with.

      @@favourmarie5397 it’s hard but I wanted to wear whatever I wanted. Maybe start with 1 thing that’s out of your comfort zone but that you truly love and want to wear and then don’t think about other people at all. If you look happy people take it as confidence. Honestly it’s a lot of fake it until you make it. And if it you want to wear something weird don’t acknowledge that it’s weird. Treat it like it’s normal. But start with something you love because it’s easy to feel confident in something you love!

    YES on the dress shaming! I now wear dresses almost every day because I find them to be the comfiest, easiest outfit for my body (it's literally a 1-piece outfit, so quick and easy) but for years I avoided wearing them even though I wanted to because whenever I did, I would get unwanted attention in passive aggressive comments like, "Wow I could never put that much effort into getting ready," "What are you dressed up for?," and "You're probably judging me for my sweatpants right now lol." Big NLOG energy. Eventually I said F em and started wearing dresses as much as I wanted, but people still love to comment on it, as if the most self absorbed thing a woman can do is to wear a dress. 🙄 It's just a piece of cloth people!

  • @kapokikkodragneel1505
    @kapokikkodragneel1505 2 ปีที่แล้ว +175

    Important to note is also that you don't need to look perfect 24/7
    Fashion is fun, I like fashion. But I've been feeling the pressure to always look my best and look put together all the time so much lately. Living in a big city near a lot of shops, when I'm just strolling around I see all these girls dressed perfectly. There are barely any people that aren't dressed up a bit. It makes me feel self conscious to go out in my comfy basic clothes. Cause even though I don't really dress to impress, I often feel super unattractive seeing all those girls. It feels like I'm getting judged. And again, I live in a big city with a lot of shops nearby, basically the whole country comes here to shop, and there are many many tourists. For most people I see, it probably is a special occasion, which is why they dressed up. So it's really just my mindset that needs fixing.
    Something else that bothers me about that is that I have only a couple of things that I really really love. I wear them so often, but I can't wear them all the time. Clothes gotta get washed, and I don't wanna get sick of those clothes either ya know lmao. So it just bothers me that I'm almost pushing myself to buy more clothes so that I can look cuter more often... Even though I deep down don't really want to.
    (I like clothes, but I have a deep dislike for shopping)
    It's just good to keep in mind that you don't have to dress up cause boy... Dressing for other people becomes so stressful.

      @johannaflores8332 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      I think this is so true and definitely falls into the category of wearing the clothing you feel most anxious to wear BUT makes you, YOU. If non dressy comfy clothes is how you feel most comfortable 80% of the time, just like for someone else that may be a dress, it’s about ha ving the courage to dress comfy, and that doesn’t mean that your style is any less valid than the person that feels more comfortable in a dress. You know? And the hardest part is trying not to compare yourself because everyone’s self expression is different. I know that super hard though so I get it.

      YES i live in the main street most fucked up decision I’ve ever made but what the fuck am I supposed to do when i just need bread??
      I prefer to go to quieter shops around 2-3 blocks away as I usually do also lines are shorter
      But to be honest from their perspective it would be really cool to just live there and go out in relaxed clothing if you’re confident in it it’s kind of a dream to live there for so many people. To the point it’s not “special” for you
      Like whatever a shirt and jeans or even sleepwear in the mornings like a dad lmao. I’ve seen seiyuus pictures and they wear normal clothes when they’re rehearsing, yet dress really fancy for stage performances (like kanon69)
      As for repetition I’m just planning on wearing a uniform like delancy from princess charm school cause its camp but blends with a uniform and just wear that everyday cause i grew up with uniforms and it makes me feel comfortable but also focused on my activities
      Honestly fuck all of them lol, I think the more activities you do the easier it is to just be relaxed and say fuck it, buy the supplies you need eat out and not really care and be thinking about your next steps on your projects instead. It’s so much more fun and interesting to have a personality, genuine interests AND good looks but only dress up when you want, and way less insecure
      It’s been a year from your comment so did you manage to solve this and how?

      Omg u people so much thinking…you can choose very high quality “comfy clothes “ (they will cost more but u will look put together. You can buy more than 1 of the same thing( u can have 5 black sweatpants to match with different t-shirts) so u don’t have to think to much about it. The important thing is they are clean/ high quality fabric and u take care of your hair/nails and that’s it u can wear almost always the same combination of outfits

    I really related to your story about your highschool experience. I just started highschool last year and I was the new kid. I sat by myself at lunch and in the beginning of the year wore clothes that felt true to me, but I found throughout the year I started to wear what everyone else was wearing and I was not comfortable with it. I felt like I was being judged and became self conscious, it was not fun. I then started to find my style this summer. I now wear my natural curls and my pixies like style! I am so comfortable in my skin now and in how I dress. I found confidence through your videos.

    I LOVE the what makes you anxious tip! I feel like my true fashion sense is very bold and extra and for that reason I've usually shied away from it because I didn't want the attention. Definitely gonna invest in those types of clothes. I'm getting to a point where I need to be authentic cause I feel like I'm suffocating
    And yes yes yes to accessories! I'll start there. Thanks for this!! 💜✨

    Omgggg what you said abt fashion inspo and body inspo and distinguishing the two really resonated with me. I sometimes look at outfits and think its gonna look like that on me and when it doesn't i get upset. Soo thank you for giving that timely reminder 💕

    this video popped in my recommend and i'm so glad it did! there's so much happy and uplifting energy here and i'm glad i found your channel.
    this video really speaks to me, i used to be the typical trend follower and would beg my mom to buy me clothes everyone else wore, but the styles stopped being appealing to me. i started going thrifting and found outfits i really loved, and i realized that wearing what i like has made me more confident and happier

    oh my god the point about thinking back to your childhood is so true for me!! there's this picture of me around age four, asleep on the ground, wearing an orange flannel, blue tutu, and red boot covers i had from a wonder woman halloween costume. and now flannels, skirts, and boots are like my favorite combination!

    shopping has been a little hard for me because my parents don’t allow me to wear crop tops and when i go shopping everything is cropped🤣 does anyone have any store suggestions that sell cute but not cropped shirts?💗

    • @kasydybush9320
      @kasydybush9320 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      yo same lolll i noticed romwe has a lot of cool graphic tees. you may honestly find some cute stuff in random stores tho tbh you have no idea how much like walmart will surprise me sometimes 🤣 so just try to stay on the lookout even if it doesn’t necessarily seem like a place where you’d expect to find cute stuff 😌

    • @genevievem6425
      @genevievem6425 2 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      you could try thrifting! you can find lots of cute tops that aren’t cropped and one day, once you’re out of your parents house, you could crop them!

    • @ye3346
      @ye3346 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Another thing is getting the crop top and just wearing a longer shirt underneath. There’s many ways you can pull that style off!

      @delphine860 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      heyy, like the others said you can go thrifting or on depop and vinted ! I would also recommend checking the store Uniqlo, they have a lot of good basics which aren't cropped! It can be a bit more expensive than some other stores but honestly not that much in the end and the quality is usually pretty good!

    I am calling my style gremlin with a bit of pastel pink. I love brown a lot and dark green (I don't have much green but love wearing it) then pink- neon pink suits my skintone better but love pastel pink sooo much! I like paisley print and other small intricate pattern (sucker for floral but I have so much so im calming down with it)... and bows on clothing... idk kinda random but I just like bows lol.

    I love it! I trust that some of us come into this lifetime simply knowing what’s for us, sometimes parents get it right too and intuitively choose what looks best fits best etc. I wear a lot of the same colors and fabrics and styles too and it empowers my energy!

  • @hazelpaulband
    @hazelpaulband 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    ive pretty much always worn what makes me the most happy and feel like myself. when i started getting judged by other people, i was confused. i realize now that those people just may not be comfortable with themselves to wear what they want.

  • @Marymationnn

    I think the tip about childhood kinda helped - maybe I wasn't exactly dressing cool back then but my favourite books/movies/games really give some impression of what fascinated me even to this day. Like, a lot of browns, something vintage, adventurous and bold-looking, it's definitely one piece of the puzzle what I want to wear.
    Overall really cool tips, your channel is the best and most honest about this stuff, thank you! I'm moving to another country soon and need to make a massive closet purge, so this helps

    The thing you said about chidhood is so true and I never realized that! I just noticed yesterday photos of me when i was kid and said to myself that I still want these clothes I wore! beautiful colors like pink,light blue,rhinestones,jean skirts,flowers,graphic tees e.t.c are some of the things I never stopped adoring!!!

  • @laura_B24
    @laura_B24 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    thinking back to your childhood ideas and fashion is definitely a good tip! I think because often when we are very young we feel like we have more freedom of expression? Like you barely see trends and stuff as a kid and you also don't get as judged easily fashion-wise either? But when we get into our teen years we suddenly see trends and stuff and others judge your fashion choices and you start to think bad of your style. Idk just a theory haha.

    Teen dramas fucked me up so bad. I thought this girl was 16 until she mentioned she’s 21. I am 16 and I was comparing my face, my 16-year-old body to that of an adult. So glad she mentioned, it really called me out and made me more calm :)

    • @gigimw

    This video made me jump out of my sofa, ran to my wardrobe and absolutely clean it. I gave the clothes that I don't wear or don't feel like myself anymore and kept what I like. Now it got real smaller and I see all the clothes that I usually wear and make me feel myself and I like it pretty much! Thanks TH-cam for recommending me this video, totally worth it! :D

    I wish I would have found your content about a year ago when I started my style journey; you have so many good tips!! *Over the past year, i've been trying to: gain more confidence socially* (I used to be and still kind of am in a way the insecure shy girl, but i've been slowly but surely gaining more of the confidence i've been striving for), *find my style and make/obtain my dream wardrobe as i've said* (constantly looking on pinterest, thrifting, looking online, putting together outfits with pictures/matching things up, branching out and watching fashion content I like and that is helpful like yours) *and talking with a friend that is going through the same style and confidence journey as I am* (whenever we meet up, we have deep conversations about how we're finding our styles and what we like to wear, about how we gain confidence and feel confident, as well as so much more!). Thank you SO much for the amazing content you post; i've only watched two of your videos and already hooked!

  • @kasydybush9320
    @kasydybush9320 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    i 100% agree with all of this! this video was so perfect and now you have a new subscriber 😌💞 another thing that i found has been helpful for me is looking at my closet and before decluttering kinda just playing dress up lol. i found there were a lot of things, mainly accessories, that i have and i absolutely love but never wore because i was too scared to wear it. so maybe even try digging through your closet and grabbing the things you don’t wear as often and style it. that may help you broaden your wardrobe without actually buying things yet to help if you’re in that rut of just wearing the same outfits that feel safe. and it can save you from buying clothes you already have something similar too. ok bye idk why i’ve been talking for so long

    @meowmeowdefnotafurry 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Another thing if you like RPGs (or really any videogame in general) is to base some outfits off of your favourite characters/character designs, this can especially help for if youre just trying to explore your style, for example i have a friend who does this and they one day dressed like jean from genshin impact, on another day dressed like basil from omori and on another went out like natsukis casual wear from ddlc, they liked the basil outfit the most and right now their style is mainly cottage core!

    one thing that I think about right now is finding my style and I’m getting a lot of progress this past year. I absolutely love bright colors, long dresses & skirts, ruffles, flowers/florals etc... though I’ve always had a struggle with picking an aesthetic though I try to think about what Mina Le said “Aesthetic can be limiting having a style ≠ an aesthetic” (or something like that) I realized I’ve been putting myself in a box all this time also you introducing new ideas to me so thx for the vid 💕 I can’t believe I didn’t even know about your channel till now

    going back to college in the fall, and thinking about wearing what i love in my closet makes me anxious because so many girls dress differently. freshman year i bought a bunch of clothing that didn't align with me, and it mentally dragged me down. my uni has mostly athletic wear, sweats, and plain styled tops that i've never felt myself in. this summer i made it my goal to explore my fashion and it's been a success! i've been finding pieces that i LOVE, and can see wearing for years ahead. i wish i started working on my personal style earlier, but now i'm able to pinpoint things like colors, necklines, and even what type of pantleg i most enjoy. this especially helps while thrifting. i still have a long way to go!! thank you for this video!!!! ❤︎ ❤︎
