I think hair styling is also important when it comes to balancing one’s outfit. For some reason I kept on envisioning you with a blunt wavy bob or lob haircut while watching you style all these different outfits. Ofc, everyone’s hair preference varies and should matter to the wearer only😊

I like the little top, big bottoms on you best! Those light colored jeans with the ballet flats, so classic and beautiful!

I really liked this video and loved the skirt and jumper outfit but with the boots big+big as I am not keen on tight fitting clothes and most of the time I like to feel unrestricted also liked the bottoms and plaid shirt ..Thankyou so much for showing us clothes U can actually wear

❤️

I’m the same! 5.3 with short arms and legs 😂 and I like oversized everything too 🎉

All the links are live in the description box, Love to know which outfit formula you want to try out!! 💛

Wow i really injoyed your take on the fantasy self.most youtubers have kinda discouraged ppl from the dream character and her stuff. I am going to take some of your suggestions and impart them into my life.yes its beautiful.THANK YOU💛acceptance is gentler and more freeing

Watching your videos feels like hanging out with a friend🤍 Would absolutely love a 'beyond the basics'.

You are such a wonderful breath of fresh air! So glad I found you 😘

Thank you for this perspective! I've always heard and been under the impression that that fantasy self detracted from who I am at the present moment and I should get rid of her whenever she popped up. This view is much better and kinder to her (and me) and I love the idea of incorporating her philosophy rather than her clothes. You are right she really is where the best of us resides.

Enlightening. Thank you.

Great topic. However, I don’t want to blame my self doubt or lack of knowledge about style development on “the patriarchy”. 🤔 - Because it’s not just women who struggle w/ these issues. Thanks to social media and people like yourself, we can all learn and improve. ✨

Can you share the brands of your elasticated waistband pieces, the skirt and the pant? I’m glad I came across this video! 🤍

I put A Like as soon as I got to 1.56 😁 Thankyou for the wonderful suggestions and one thing is a must for me and it is comfort with a bit of personal style 🥰

Okay, so this is technically four guesses, but I had a hard time narrowing it down: relaxed/soft, chic, minimal. Also hilariously as soon as #28 popped up I said "ooh, I like that" just as you were saying you didn't like it that much!

You have a beautiful, soothing voice 🙂

I'm so glad I stumbled onto your video! Granny Weatherwax is my north star!

Great video and insight❤ never thought of it like this. Makes so much sense!!

So much great advice. You should write a book. I love your style.

This is such great advice. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. New sub!

It is wonderful to see a family woman put forth realistic suggestions.

O, yes, this video was helpful! I realized that I've already started to incorporate some features of my fantasy me in my clothes and life in general and I feel wonderful ❤Another Terry Pratchett fan here, but my fantasy me is more like Eskarina Smith 😁

Granny W. is awesome😂 Love your content - thanks!

Yes! I believe that my fantasy self has been a big part of my poor shopping and thrifting choices in the past. I love the idea of giving voice to her though, and finding ways to honor her various forms in more practical ways for my actual life and style. No one ever seems to recommend this! Brilliant!

I have just fallen in love with you and your channel! Keep the positive vibe and great content coming! Thanks for the lovely sentiment!

Casual, feminine, and minimal. You have a mix of dramatic and classic vibe especially with the looks that featured the newsboy hat, dark shades, striped shirt slung over the shoulders, and red scarf. You seemed to really enjoy those while you were wearing those pieces. You have a great sense of personal style. Maybe a pair of black knee-high boots would make the skirt more wearable. I'm 5'4 as well and that particular skirt makes me look frumpy. You made it work beautifully. You're absolutely right about dialing down some aspects of yourself to fit the situation. It makes sense to show up appropriately to meet the events of our day. Is there a particular style era or style icon that you like? The first look was giving Audrey Hepburn glamour, which suits you well. I really enjoyed this type of video. Have fun playing with different looks😊😊

Thank you so much for putting such wonderful videos together!!! I loved being walked through a bit of your process and thoughts- I keep going into a capsule wardrobe but it’s never felt curated to me- and your videos are really helping me think about the longer and more intentional and considered journey to achieve this! Again, thank you!!

Undone. Soft. Classic. Love your content! 💪🏻💃🏻

i already love your channel omgg,,, i know a lot of people needed to hear these advices 😭❤ tysm for this video

Star ❤

I enjoyed your content, point of view and “About Me” mission statement. You have a lovely soothing voice. Good luck growing your channel!

Wow! Thanks for taking the time to show all the different versions of the outfits. It was very interesting to see! My 12 favorit Outfits are: 8, 13, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22, 25, 29, 31, 34, 43... 😊 keywords: casual/relaxed, cozy, chique.

Great advice, exactly like the title The Perfect Basics. Not sharing the typical white shirt, white tee, white sneakers, black blazer etc.

I am on the same page with you regarding personal style and love to hear your sharing.

❤

Finally!! Someone who addresses the “washing dishes and doing things “ sleeve problem!!!!!! You are the ONLY person I have ever seen address this . I thought I was going mad after many many attempts to make the button down work! Well done !!! And hi from New Zealand 💞

These were great tips and this was also just really pleasant and lovely to listen to - it is so nice to be reminded that it is possible to cultivate a personal sense of style that is satisfying and nice to look at that also fits within our financial means and fits in with the needs of our lifestyle! Fashion can be expressive and intentional and nourishing! Thanks for the generous and gentle reminder!

❤Thank you for these 5 great tips! I've never tried an elastic waistband or ballet flats but am going to look at both. Recently bought a taupe shoulder bag with interesting texture and cream sandals with a chunky heel but I have yet to style them and make sure now that I have them that I like styling them and if not, I will return them.

Some great bag options. I hadn’t heard of those brands since in I’m the U.S.

Between your soothing voice and the chirping birds (plus the imagined smell of bread baking 😅), this may have been the most relaxing video about style I've ever seen! And a truly lovely sentiment, one that came just when it was needed most for me. It's so easy to get swept up in the self-criticism, picking our bodies apart for the silliest reasons. All of those outside voices are just a distraction. 💓

Lovethe quote!! Thank you❤😊

I have a real problem with shopping for my fantasy self. What I have learned is to purchase things second hand from a charity shop for my fantasy pieces. I enjoy them and then declutter them when i no longer enjoy them. Less guilt and better for the planet.😊

Love this. Would love to see some personal examples

Welcome back 🙏❤️ I have loved following along on your UA-cam journey through out the years. Eager to see your personal style blossom 🌸

Hi, Alanna! Thank you for this video, what a great way to start the week. 😊You are very wise and have a lovely vibe! ❤

Your channel is a breath of fresh air... thank you for this! I'm with you in turning up the volume of our own voices and wearing whatever the hell we want!🦁

Fashion you can buy, but style you possess. The secret to style is knowing who you are, which takes years. There's no how-to road map for style. -Iris Apfel

Such wisdom. I wish I had implemented this earlier in my life.
