I was surprised you didn't try to make an outfit out of the 'orphans'. When you first showed off your choices, I immediately thought the white vintage top would go wonderfully with the green skirt and (screen colors notwithstanding) maybe even the green vest on top. Perhaps add 'make an outfit from only unloved items' to your challenge?
I didn't think to pair them together as they're such different weights! The skirt is very thick, woolly and warm, and the blouse is very light and summery. But you're right, it might have worked :)
the vest, the skirt and the white blouse would make a great outfit already. i usually sort my clothes by colour and when it is freshly washed i put in on top of the stack. the clothes in the bottom of the stack will be next to be worn and i style them to an outfit that fits my needs. this way i wear all my stuff always and never really forget what i have got. there's no need to be superconvinced by an outfit, it just has to work okay, why would you stress yourself over just not going outside naked. there will always be jeans and t-shirt there for you :D
I did this too last year! (I blame the lockdown boredom) I found out that the donate pile soon became part of my fabric stash, I've been using it for pockets, facings, collars and even contrasting sleeves 😁
Lol. I read that as ' detonate stash' 💣 And yes, I do the same, very often. It's so much fun, to upcycle unloved or unwearable clothes. And seeing that donated garments, that aren't either vintage or brand name often end up in the trash anyway...I don't feel to bad about cutting something apart, that's technically still wearable.
Yes to both of your comments! Bias binding and lining are also good ones to use unloved/unworn garments for but now I’m finding that although my donate pile is shrinking my fabric stash is growing (as if it needs any more help) 😂
I would wear the purple dotted blouse with the green skirt or under the blue dirndl!!! And also keep the sleeves rolled down. The thing that makes it look cheaper is how pale the fabric looks when rolled as it is printed rather than woven.
Evertime I'm tempted to complain about our cold and rainy summer (Germany is just the same, weather wise), I remind myself, how much I actually hate typical July weather. Hope you have air-conditioning. I don't and trying to sleep in that kind of heat...I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
If I really like an article of clothes but don’t have anything that really goes with it, I look for things that will go with it. Sometimes I just buy something that looks very pretty without thinking about what my wardrobe currently has or doesn’t have.
This is a great strategy for your wardrobe! Thanks! I love the 40's vibe, so I cast a very positive vote for the sleeveless blouse with the spice colored trousers at 6:48. I agree with other comments, that the vest and pants (Hobbit?!) outfit was really cute and not costumey at all.
I think it’s good that some of them need to be phased out. 👍But, maybe you could wear the second to last blouse with the green circle skirt. Just an idea 🥰
I truly love that last, wine colored blouse. I have so many things in my wardrobe to style it, so it would be very versatile for me. I wish you lived close ny and we could exchange items that we were donating out. We don't have much in common in terms of style, but that would make it even more interesting.
Ok but can we talk about that purple cottagecore skirt, it's SO pretty! (is it purple? Gray? Lavender?). I agree with all of your choices on what to keep and purge, I should do this with my wardrobe!
The “modern” blouse, I would’ve paired with a skirt of the same colour, tucked in with sleeves rolled up. Or a white skirt/pants to give it a pop. The green skirt looked really nice with both the blouse you made and the red blouse! I would also have paired it with the “modern” blouse or a longer sleeved white blouse. The styles you came up with were quite good though! 😃
I would have tried to style the vest you made with the green skirt, with your brown boots and a white long sleeved shirt. That skirt doesn’t look too summery to me but it’s super cute for autumn/winter IMO.
The green skirt might've been fun with a white jumper and a tan belt! Or even the white sleeveless blouse. I also noticed you had two purple blouses you weren't in love with, so maybe it's in the colour rather than item itself?
Yep... Unfortunately many of us have not gotten too much wear out of our summer wardrobe this year... 😭 Great initiative to do this exercise. Very inspiring
oh I really liked the purple blouse with that grayish lilac skirt! And maybe you could try the green skirt with a white blouse and cardigan or smth like that? 🤔
Ok but the second outfit with the blue skirt!!!! You literally looked so lovely 💗💗💖💗💗💗💗 you reminded me of Sophie at the end of Howls moving castle . That outfit suits you and it shows!!
The Hobbit outfit was the best! That green vest on the simplicity of white and black 💚💚 Didn't look like a costume, unless you want it too. Versatility!
Really enjoyed this video. I totally agree with your assessment as to what garments should be eliminated from your wardrobe. Life is too short to wear garments that you do not love.
I would have put the purple shirt with the green skirt. Quite a beautiful autumnal look :) And I would put the dottet shirt with the mustardy paperback pants you tried on with the white shirt. I think that might be a nice look.
I love that green skirt, its so pretty! I would pair it with the waistcoat :) the purple blouse i dont know how to style. Really nice to see you experiment
I‘d pair the Primark-Blouse with a pair of classic, high-wasted black Marlene trousers and black pumps. The green skirt outfit makes you look like a teacher. 🙂 And I do love your Hobbit outfit. I love waistcoats so I‘d totally wear it to the office.
Love the "Hobbit" outfit! Maybe with a more tailored, closer fitting pant or pencil skirt?The "Hobbit" blouse would go great with the green skirt! You have fabulous clothes! I wish I had a closet like yours, but I don't have the room.
I'd style the polka dot blouse with white or light blue bottoms for summer. I really like it, but I know what it's like to keep things you just don't reach for. No point in keeping those! I do have some clothes in my wardrobe that I hate in spring/summer, but love in autumn/winter, so I make a point of only getting rid of things in the season I normally wear them.
The Hobbit outfit looked awesome! And I also loved the white blouse with the high neck and no sleeves. It made your slender arms stand out (in a good way)! I think it really suits you
I think the purple blouse and the green skirt would look good together, especially with a brown or purple belt to show off the skirt's decorative belt loops. Kind of an 'eggplant' look. Add a brooch, cardigan, or both and the whole thing would look very vintage.
Maybe the purple sheer-sleeved blouse tucked into the cinnamon high-waisted pants, with a scarf that showcases lots of purple and cinnamon as a belt? The scarf would need to be long enough to tie and then let the ends hang down a bit. With brown flats, this would be a pretty summer-into-autumn outfit.
Oh, the last purple blouse with the grey skirt and suspenders was stunning. So sad you didn't like it. But that skirt and suspenders is so cute, I saw it and I'm going to make one like it. :D LOVVVE that linen dress!
I agree with the green skirt. The reason it doesn’t suit you in my opinion is that it’s fitted down to the mid hip. Personally I think A-line or pencil skirts look more “you”. The green wants to be both and it’s not working out😅
Well, I’m *slightly* disappointed because I was really expecting you to pick ANCHOR pieces and not an accessory like a vest or a thin sleeveless “blouse”. But you’re so adorable, so much fun to watch and I love the outfits you come up with, so I’ll get over it! 😅 As for the purple blouses-the colors aren’t flattering on you. The light colors you’re wearing now are bringing together your skin tone and hair and eyes. You became “invisible” in the polka dot blouse and the last one. So we saw the outfits but not the real you. You have an amazing figure and can make almost anything work. But you really look brighter in the pastel tones you’ve been going with recently. It was a great experiment!
for the red blouse, maybe put a black woolen sweater over it so that only the collar is visible and (if possible) the tips of the sleeves. Or a chunky woolen beige open sweater over it and black pants ..
I love the outfits you came up with! I kind of did this challenge accidentally once when I moved. I packed up the clothes I didn't need often first and took them to the new apartment and my frequently worn clothes would go last as I still needed them in the current apartment. So when I moved into the new place the rarely worn clothes were there unpacked and ready to go first so I would suddenly wear completely different items than I usually would :D It was very interesting though and I had to be a little more creative.
I own the Primark blouse as well and was hoping to get an idea about how to wear it again. It seems like, mine is going to the thrift store now 🤣 But I really enjoy your outfits. They look beautiful 😊😊
Even though you didn't like them, I think the Polka-Dot Outfit and the the Outfit at 11:48 looked both really good on you! My favorite one was the first though! Also, I have a request, I know you did some of these (or similar ones) in the past already, but not with your knew style (if I remember correctly): I'd really love to see a video on how to style hats, scarfs and head bands with different outfits! ☺️👒 (And how to wear them with confidence 🤣)
Nooo, don't get rid of the green skirt! When you showed the first three items, I thought they would work great together: green skirt, white blouse, darker green vest!
The purple polka dot shirt would be so cute under a pair of overalls! But it would also go cute with the green skirt but I have a feeling since you don't really like both pieces if you pair them together you definitely wouldn't wear it.
What about black fabric painted polka dots on the last blouse, the purple one. It might make it more edgy. Dots the size of pencil eraser out the size of thumb print.
"Is this too Hobbit-y?"
Rachael Maksy has entered the chat
Lol I thought of her instantly 😂
YESSSS 😍

I thought the same thing about combining the orphans.
I was thinking the polka dot blouse under the burgundy blouse…they go together for one last hurrah!
I thought the same thing!
Agree 👍
Ditto
The “Hobbit outfit” looks like something I would wear to an interview, corporate cute.
I think with a cigarette pant it would be particularly good for that!
Ha, same.
It looks kinda 60s-70s chic to me!
I don’t even know what a hobbit looks like, but that outfit could totally work in the corporate offices I work at.
Am i the only one who actually loved the outfit at 11:50? It's so different and interesting
sameeee
Yes I thought it was sooo cutee
Me too
Yesss I loved that one too!
I was surprised what's wrong with it, why she took another. I think, this one was the ideal choice.
Maybe try the sleeveless blouse with the green skirt? I was hoping you'd try pairing them together to show us.
I didn't think to pair them together as they're such different weights! The skirt is very thick, woolly and warm, and the blouse is very light and summery. But you're right, it might have worked :)
@@Loepsie hagays🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❣❣❣❣❣❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@Loepsie Maybe with a turtle neck under the white blouse ? Could open a button or two
Thought the same, these colors and fabrics would make a nice contrast :-)
That white blouse is VER-SI-TILE! You went from sweet to adventurer to model in seconds I love it
the vest, the skirt and the white blouse would make a great outfit already. i usually sort my clothes by colour and when it is freshly washed i put in on top of the stack. the clothes in the bottom of the stack will be next to be worn and i style them to an outfit that fits my needs. this way i wear all my stuff always and never really forget what i have got. there's no need to be superconvinced by an outfit, it just has to work okay, why would you stress yourself over just not going outside naked. there will always be jeans and t-shirt there for you :D

The white and blue outfit is just perfect! Really Vintage picnic or seaside vibes!
The last blouse looked really nice in the second outfit, I really liked how the colours went together xx
That polka dot blouse with black leggings may not have been your favorite, but it looked amazing on you!
When she first showed the blouse, I hated it. But when she actually wore it, it looked really really good! I was amazed
I really liked that purple blouse with the pinafore style skirt, I was very surprised you didn't go for that!
I would wear the purple dotted blouse with the green skirt or under the blue dirndl!!! And also keep the sleeves rolled down. The thing that makes it look cheaper is how pale the fabric looks when rolled as it is printed rather than woven.
You can also roll the sleeves in a way the the printed side is up
1. The ‘Hobbit’ outfit looks bomb 🔥 and reminds me of the love interest/historian/archeologist in the mummy
2. Outfit two gives off ghibli vibes 😍
I legitimately got jealous of your "autumnal summer" because I'm over here melting in 100 F (38 C) temperatures. 😂😭
Evertime I'm tempted to complain about our cold and rainy summer (Germany is just the same, weather wise), I remind myself, how much I actually hate typical July weather.
Hope you have air-conditioning. I don't and trying to sleep in that kind of heat...I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Yes we have 43°C weather here in Spain. I would love to be in that weather now. 😀
Our heat index got to 109 F a few days ago. Not fun!
If I really like an article of clothes but don’t have anything that really goes with it, I look for things that will go with it. Sometimes I just buy something that looks very pretty without thinking about what my wardrobe currently has or doesn’t have.
This is a great strategy for your wardrobe! Thanks!
I love the 40's vibe, so I cast a very positive vote for the sleeveless blouse with the spice colored trousers at 6:48.
I agree with other comments, that the vest and pants (Hobbit?!) outfit was really cute and not costumey at all.
Purple goes very well with green! So purple blouse and green skirt! I agree: all five items fit TOGETHER very nicely!
I was hoping you would tuck the dotted blouse into the green skirt. I think it would be super cute!
the white blouse would look amazing with the green skirt!!!
I think it’s good that some of them need to be phased out. 👍But, maybe you could wear the second to last blouse with the green circle skirt. Just an idea 🥰
I think the first two options for the purple blouse were super cute. The pants and the grayish skirt was so cute with the blouse
I truly love that last, wine colored blouse. I have so many things in my wardrobe to style it, so it would be very versatile for me. I wish you lived close ny and we could exchange items that we were donating out. We don't have much in common in terms of style, but that would make it even more interesting.
I'd pair the Primark blouse with a white pinafore maybe and the green skirt with a white victorian-style blouse
Love 1st look w vest! 🥰 I agree about the green skirt! Super fun!
I really like the combination between white blouse and the blue dress at 6:34, it suits you very well!
I looove the vintage white top and your mustard pants, such a cute combo!
I just LOVE the white blouse with the blue dress and with everything else ❤️
That last blouse is so beautiful!!! And loved your vest with the white blouse and dark trousers .
The Primark top might go well with your queen's gambit pinafore. Or the Rachel maksy formula of full skirt + vest.
The first outfit with the sleeveless white blouse is so adorable omg
could you do a more in-depth video on cottage-core and vintage-core fashion?!! im super interested in it and you fit that aesthetic perfectly!
did you try the ivory vintage blouse with the green skirt at the end? that was my initial thought when i saw what you pulled out.
Ok but can we talk about that purple cottagecore skirt, it's SO pretty! (is it purple? Gray? Lavender?). I agree with all of your choices on what to keep and purge, I should do this with my wardrobe!
the white vintage top with the green skirt!
The green skirt with a cream fall / winter sweater, tights and tall boots.
The “modern” blouse, I would’ve paired with a skirt of the same colour, tucked in with sleeves rolled up. Or a white skirt/pants to give it a pop.
The green skirt looked really nice with both the blouse you made and the red blouse! I would also have paired it with the “modern” blouse or a longer sleeved white blouse.
The styles you came up with were quite good though! 😃
the vintage blouse with the blue dress immediately made me think of Belle
I loved the second choice for the purple blouse
I would have tried to style the vest you made with the green skirt, with your brown boots and a white long sleeved shirt. That skirt doesn’t look too summery to me but it’s super cute for autumn/winter IMO.
Good call, the skirt is too high waisted, a vest would fix that.
The green skirt might've been fun with a white jumper and a tan belt! Or even the white sleeveless blouse.
I also noticed you had two purple blouses you weren't in love with, so maybe it's in the colour rather than item itself?
Actually loved the primary blouse idk it looks kinda nerdy chic and quite elevated with the gold jewellery
The white blouse and blue skirt are giving me MAJOR Sophie vibes from Howl's Moving Castle!
The purple top you wore at uni with the green skirt would make a really lovely outfit to be honest xx
Yep... Unfortunately many of us have not gotten too much wear out of our summer wardrobe this year... 😭
Great initiative to do this exercise. Very inspiring
I actually loved the polka dot shirt with the black pants. It looked fantastic and very iconic Audrey Hepburn looking on you.
oh I really liked the purple blouse with that grayish lilac skirt! And maybe you could try the green skirt with a white blouse and cardigan or smth like that? 🤔
Ok but the second outfit with the blue skirt!!!! You literally looked so lovely 💗💗💖💗💗💗💗 you reminded me of Sophie at the end of Howls moving castle . That outfit suits you and it shows!!

Honestly all of the outfits you tried with the white blouse worked really well.
Really enjoyed this video. I totally agree with your assessment as to what garments should be eliminated from your wardrobe. Life is too short to wear garments that you do not love.
I would have put the purple shirt with the green skirt. Quite a beautiful autumnal look :)
And I would put the dottet shirt with the mustardy paperback pants you tried on with the white shirt. I think that might be a nice look.
Loved this video!!!!! 😍 😍 Like that you showed us outfits that you did not like as well! This was very inspiring and I learned a lot!
that white blouse is everything!
I love that green skirt, its so pretty! I would pair it with the waistcoat :) the purple blouse i dont know how to style. Really nice to see you experiment
I‘d pair the Primark-Blouse with a pair of classic, high-wasted black Marlene trousers and black pumps. The green skirt outfit makes you look like a teacher. 🙂 And I do love your Hobbit outfit. I love waistcoats so I‘d totally wear it to the office.
Outfit 2 top with outfit 4 skirt, top over a contrasting cami top. I think will work a treat. Primark top "burn".
The white blouse and the vest is really beautiful.
This is a really good idea, might have to go through some of my wardrobe and give it a shot!
Love the "Hobbit" outfit! Maybe with a more tailored, closer fitting pant or pencil skirt?The "Hobbit" blouse would go great with the green skirt!
You have fabulous clothes! I wish I had a closet like yours, but I don't have the room.
12:06 okay, the blouse can go. But that black skirt looks AMAZING on her, and you can’t change my mind. 😌
Aw, the vest and pants combo was super cute!
I'd style the polka dot blouse with white or light blue bottoms for summer. I really like it, but I know what it's like to keep things you just don't reach for. No point in keeping those! I do have some clothes in my wardrobe that I hate in spring/summer, but love in autumn/winter, so I make a point of only getting rid of things in the season I normally wear them.
The Hobbit outfit looked awesome! And I also loved the white blouse with the high neck and no sleeves. It made your slender arms stand out (in a good way)! I think it really suits you
I LOVE every outfit you made with the white blouse 😍 I have a similar white blouse. I'm going to try those outfits myself! 🤩
Purple blouse + the green skirt = combo
I think the purple blouse and the green skirt would look good together, especially with a brown or purple belt to show off the skirt's decorative belt loops. Kind of an 'eggplant' look. Add a brooch, cardigan, or both and the whole thing would look very vintage.

The scarf would need to be long enough to tie and then let the ends hang down a bit. With brown flats, this would be a pretty summer-into-autumn outfit.
The purple blouse would be lovely with a red skirt, think hippie fortune teller toned down.
Honestly you looked amazing in all your outfits! You're such a beautiful woman, and you have great style imo
Oh, the last purple blouse with the grey skirt and suspenders was stunning. So sad you didn't like it. But that skirt and suspenders is so cute, I saw it and I'm going to make one like it. :D LOVVVE that linen dress!
I’m definitely doing this!! Thanks for the inspiration!
I like the purple blouse with the black skirt but I think it needs a focus, like a cute belt buckle at the middle
the cream blouse also would work with that green skirt. maybe even the polka dot blouse as well close to christmas time?
You could have paired the green skirt with the white sleeveless top. Would be cute :).
I would put the burgundy polka dot blouse with the green skirt or under the green vest, or even all three together.
I agree with the green skirt. The reason it doesn’t suit you in my opinion is that it’s fitted down to the mid hip. Personally I think A-line or pencil skirts look more “you”. The green wants to be both and it’s not working out😅
Yep, it's an odd silhouette!
Please try the green skirt with the black vest, and some blouse, maybe even the white one underneath!
Well, I’m *slightly* disappointed because I was really expecting you to pick ANCHOR pieces and not an accessory like a vest or a thin sleeveless “blouse”. But you’re so adorable, so much fun to watch and I love the outfits you come up with, so I’ll get over it! 😅

But you really look brighter in the pastel tones you’ve been going with recently.
It was a great experiment!
Now you need to make a blouse to go with the skirt:) I think it's worth some love
What about that vintage white blouse with the green skirt?
A simple black boatneck 3/4 sleeve with the green skirt !
for the red blouse, maybe put a black woolen sweater over it so that only the collar is visible and (if possible) the tips of the sleeves. Or a chunky woolen beige open sweater over it and black pants ..
I love the outfits you came up with! I kind of did this challenge accidentally once when I moved.

The first outfit is quite cutee
and all the other outfits!!
That vest with the dress was meant to be!!! (First outfit)
I think all the outfits looked super cute 😍💕
I own the Primark blouse as well and was hoping to get an idea about how to wear it again. It seems like, mine is going to the thrift store now 🤣
But I really enjoy your outfits. They look beautiful 😊😊
I need to do this exact project for my wardrobe. I have way too many clothes I never wear because I don't know what to wear with them.
I would try a white laceskirt or something simmilar "cutesie" with the dotted blouse
Love that green skirt
Even though you didn't like them, I think the Polka-Dot Outfit and the the Outfit at 11:48 looked both really good on you!
My favorite one was the first though!
Also, I have a request, I know you did some of these (or similar ones) in the past already, but not with your knew style (if I remember correctly):
I'd really love to see a video on how to style hats, scarfs and head bands with different outfits! ☺️👒 (And how to wear them with confidence 🤣)
Fun video :) By the way, I really liked the vintage blouse with the paperbag pants, too.
This green skirt could look very nice in sort of hobbity, Rachel Maxy inspired outfit, with white blouse and vest 😊.
Cool idea! A great way to see which things you ought to donate. I think I should some time try to do the same!
I got curious to see the green skirt paired with the sleeveless vintage top...
Nooo, don't get rid of the green skirt! When you showed the first three items, I thought they would work great together: green skirt, white blouse, darker green vest!
The purple polka dot shirt would be so cute under a pair of overalls! But it would also go cute with the green skirt but I have a feeling since you don't really like both pieces if you pair them together you definitely wouldn't wear it.
I love this idea! Thank you for this tip 😊
The Plum blouse would be incredibly cute with an A line wool skirt in a dark forest Green and a brown leather bag
What about black fabric painted polka dots on the last blouse, the purple one. It might make it more edgy. Dots the size of pencil eraser out the size of thumb print.
