My boyfriend once told me that there is no such thing as “over dressing”. He says the concept of over dressing was created by insecure individuals to make u feel bad for being yourself
Uh, if you show up to work or school in an evening gown and tiara I think it's safe to say your overdressed. No insecurity involved. Just fact. There is a such thing as dressing for an occasion.
I obtained a personal style the day I decided to wear what I actually want and stopped listening to other people's opinions (especially family). In the beginning it feels weird to be "overdressed" but then you realize that you are not overdressed, the others are simply underdressed. Bitch, I'm fabulous...
I have relatives who push me to buy things I hate, and to pass on things I love, even though I repeatedly say “keep your opinions to yourself”. I do best, and have no stress, when shopping alone. I want to wear what I like, not what some else likes, plus they have different shapes and needs. I’m sick of everyone telling me not to wear white bottoms, for example. Yes, they’re bad for their huge hips and thighs, but great on my skinny ones.
For me, a big part of being sure of my style is asking myself: would my 9 year old self like it or not? I feel like as kids we are more unapologetically ourselves, we don't feel the need to follow trends or anything. We just like things!
Interesting you say that....I've been acquiring pieces that are modern takes on things I loved in my childhood/teen years when I had more fun and less worries and more confidence to be creative and experiment. It's been fun to do this and fun ro get creative and figure out how to incorporate the injection of youth and playfulness to my now more adult and practical side. Doing this has helped me completely get a real personal style back for myself, as I lost it for a couple years while going through some hardships of life. Now I look forward to getting dressed because it feels like me...all versions of me.
I've been doing something similar recently! Just going back to what my younger self naturally gravitated to before the influence of social media. Its a good tip!
When I was little I loved choosing my clothes and would wear stuff I liked or else I wouldn't but then middle School happened and kids weren't nice so I just wore what was accepted and I've stucked with that I miss just choosing what I want and saying to myself if others are going to like it
"Fashion is temporary. Style is eternal." - Yves Saint Laurent Love this video. It helped me on so many levels - including psychologically. Thanks, girl.
I literally had to pause this video tearing up, because I recently started overcoming a very self harming, dangerous shopping addiction, and I'm finally understanding that all of this time, I was looking to be someone else / anyone else but me and I just kept buying stuff over and over again thinking I'd finally "look good" or "feel good" while I've probably just always have been afraid of owning the style I have in my head but never dare to be? Idk, I'm all shook up right now and just thank you Amy! I feel like this should be an obligatory video to watch in school
My love !! Thank you for your vulnerability! You have no idea how happy i am that this video helped you have that mind shift. So excited for your self discovery journey 💘
@@gorlgoyle Dear Paige, gladly! First of all, therapy really helped, but not just therapy, but actually commuting with myself to be honest, to recognize about my shopping binges and how bad it made me feel… talking to anyone about what’s difficult or literally an addiction for you is the first step always, to getting better. It helped me too to start having cash again for my weekend expenses instead of using my card like crazy, I deleted most of my shopping apps and unsubscribed for tempting emails for things I knew I absolutely did not *need* no matter how hard I liked something. I also cleansed my closet taking into consideration all the points that Amy refers to, what’s really me? And what do I see myself wearing? And sold most of it. Letting go of all that felt like a weight lifted off of my shoulders and freed me a bit. Sometimes seeing everything you have stored, or available to yourself makes you realize about the fact that some minor details like good friends and relationships are super worth more than getting 20 shirts on sale. It’s overwhelming, really, but it’s the punch of reality you may need to realize you may have “shopped too much”. I hope this helps 🧡 sending you lots of good vibes and love wherever u are
5 REASONS YOU CAN’T FIND YOUR PERSONAL STYLE ▫️2:49 You think one aesthetic is personal style. ▫️3:34 You’re buying too many trendy pieces. ▫️4:22 Stop relying on others to dictate what to wear. ▫️7:53 You lack the confidence to wear what you want. ▫️9:25 You care too much about what other people think (13:44 How can i develop my personal style)
the 'what do people wear to X' vs 'what does Hannah wear to X' literally just blew my mind because I actually do that and feel like I'm never dressing true to myself! definitely a mindset I need to adopt

Ok, my 3 vibes are: masculine/femenine (I'm pretty femme but I love to add menswear aspects), rock and roll chick (shirley manson from garbage) and your favorite anthropolgy teacher (love me some natural fabrics, oversized shirts and denim)
I’m at a place where I’m pretty happy w/ my personal style, but if there’s anything I learned from that experience it’s that overt trend-chasing will literally kill any meaningful advancements in that area lol. Of course, experimentation is necessary, but being HYPER selective w/ the trends you choose to participate in is one of the smartest things you can do imo! Unfollow some influencers if you have to tbh 🤷🏽
This is something I’ve only recently started to learn and I so wish younger me could have benefited from realizing this. I’ve spent so much time trying to emulate certain trends that I lost myself in that madness and hyper consumerism.
This may seem tedious for some people, but as someone with BPD who struggles with identity diffusion/disturbance, the tangible steps of creating a mood board and going back to it whenever I feel lost is super helpful. Thank you so much for this!!
It might help looking into the kibbe system (through the reddit community, the other info on the internet is mostly old and stereotypical), it has a special niche of it called essence that helps channel the overall vibe one has (plus there's lots of pinterest boards and examples of style icons). Or the truth is beauty essences, they have exact pinterest boards to help pinpoint yours!
I appreciate that you put up pics & examples of what you mean or who you're talking about. It helps me better absorb all this great information you give us. (If I don't, I Google who or what you spoke of) 8p
Dare to look different! If you love dresses, wear them, instead of jeans, or vice-versa. I always loved silk scarves, for example, and wore them when they weren’t “in”. They’re just a frequent element in my style, hot or not. If it’s situation-appropriate, comfortable and makes you feel great, wear it, it doesn’t matter if anyone else does, this type of confidence grows!
I'm really drawn to skater/grunge aesthetic ( lately with lots of color). How do you make this style fit into work appropriate clothing? I want to feel like myself at work, but hate that I end up just buying clothes to fit the mold of what is traditionally deemed okay to wear. A video on personal style ~but make it professional~ would be so so helpful
maybe a basic outfit but with a twist/statement piece, like instead of a basic blouse, an oversized blouse with some jewelry or smth (this is just my first thought lol you can hate it)
For me personally, the skater grunge aesthetic is very relaxed but also kind of edgy at the same time. (It may mean something completely different to you. You decide based on your interpretation of the aesthetic.) Perhaps, try different textures such as adding in leather to your outfit (leather blazer? boots?) or a more relaxed fitting suit (boyfriend blazer) or try the same color scheme/palette or try more edgier accessories (chain necklaces, chunkier soles on shoes, raw hemmed scarf, bigger and bolder accessories). Those are some suggestions but please make sure to check the dress code first.
Funky rings can really make a difference. I have started to buy vintage and modern rings and the mix is super rock and roll to me. They don’t even have to be super crazy rings. Mixing metals with rings can be a really cool look.
Not all styles can be made work appropriate, grunge is one example. To a great extent, one has to conform to workplace standards. Two different wardrobes is the answer.
I think it depends on what the skater/grunge aesthetic means to you and what your work environment is like. For me (a person who graduated from high school in the early 90’s), skater/grunge was flannel shirts, vintage tees, and shag/Courtney Love type hair. So if I wanted to bring that look into my business casual office, I’d mix wider leg trousers in maybe a window plaid or a pinstripe with a graphic tee and top it with a school boy blazer in a coordinating color. Or, if you have a more business professional office, I’d have a more traditional single button pantsuit with a linen or silk slightly over side tee and some really cool shoes- like those thick sole oxfords that are popular now.
Thank you for saying that no one has just one aesthetic! I always felt so weird having both a gothic and pastel aesthetic until I realized that it's ok to have multiple ones!
i think i’m pretty happy with my personal style atm. in middle school my style wasn’t really my own, just what everyone else was wearing so i fit in. skinny jeans, cropped sweatshirts, etc. and now i hate those things because they remind me of middle school and how it felt like torture because i couldn’t be myself and my mental health was extremely bad. but now, i’m in high school at a performing arts school where everybody wears what they want and can express themself unapologetically, which is what made me feel really comfortable in what i like to wear. i’ve been wearing outfits i wouldn’t dream of wearing at my old school or at any public school, and i feel so much more happy. so please, don’t follow trends just to fit in, it will make you miserable. wear what YOU and ONLY YOU want to wear
My ENTIRE closet is filled with clothes my mother told me I would look good in, but I hate them all. They're not ME, they're more her or maybe even who she wishes I would be. On top of that, I am extremely insecure and self-loathing. My body shape is awkward, I have no clue how to do even the simplest makeup, and I suffer from chronic illnesses that make me look different... I'm working on it, and you're video is a great start. Thank you ❤️
You hit the nail on the head, because, once I made the goal of no longer caring what other people think, I realized my clothes were no longer good enough. They didn't truly reflect who I am. I shaved my head and changed how I do my makeup and I feel more myself. My wardrobe is the next step.
Girl I’m 37, I haven’t had homework in like 15 years 😂😂😂 But I’m so interested in trying this out. I feel like I am all over the place. My body changed so much with becoming a mother, I can’t pull the style I used to have anymore. Which funny enough was that Twins, Gwen (90’s). So now it’s harder to have a style that goes well with my body and what I like. I would love to see a video that talks about body types and what looks good . Signature styles video would be awesome too!!! Thank you!!!
As a mom the only major thing that I’ve held onto -as an individual, is my personal style. So I go hard with it! LoL The playground is now my catwalk 😎 Other moms love it❣️
as someone who grew up with uniforms and wasnt allowed to go out with friends until 15 AND a "plus sized" woman in anXS-S country who has been fat shamed since i could remember by my fam, I have 0 sense of style. So this is really a big big help. Thank you!
I was thinking about my personal style the other day and I realized that I haven’t been comfortable wearing strappy camis and I feel more comfortable wearing t-shirts I realized what makes me feel most confident is dressing masculine so that’s what I’m striving for!
i know what i like and what my personal style is, but because i am insecure about my body, i often don’t feel comfortable enough to wear certain items. i would love a video about style and body positivity!!
😫she stepped on my toes with #5. I’m in college and I’m comfortable wearing the leggings, biker shorts, and sweatshirts but I realize that I use them as a “comfort” and as a way to not step out and wear what I actually want. Even though my own personal style consists of wearing over-the-top and wacky pieces. I would sometimes put on an outfit that was really “extravagant” or “classy,” but then I would talk myself down out of wearing it thinking about how others would look at me or if it was too much or would draw too much attention to myself.
I think I've finally found my own style. But the main problem I've run into while I was trying to find my personal style is that I'm constantly on pinterest scrolling for hours looking for specific outfits. I've found very few that speak to me. I love tutus, plaid, dress, ruffles, puff sleeves, corsets, hardware items like chains and grommets, and I LOVE layering. Not Disney Channel layering, but korean girl group circa 2018 layering. I don't find a lot of things like that on the internet and trust me, I've tried. But now I know for a fact I don't have a certain "aesthetic", but I know who I am and I know what I like.
My three vibes have always been ultrafemme, goth and historically inspired (the 70s, the Victorian era, Renaissance, Tudor English fashion, medieval) And I found it really easy to channel those into a style by breaking it down into core components that define them. The vast majority of my clothes being dresses and long skirts, dramatic sleeves, luxe fabrics, wide leg of flared trousers if I wear them at all - anything that really flows. Pointy toed footwear, massive hats. Endless maximalism. I made it into a Pinterest board and reddit post years ago and to this day it's still me, even as it evolves.
For me, it’s because for the longest time, I followed trends (out of style within a few months-fastest way to waste money) and collected everything I thought was pretty or cool. But they weren’t me. So I had a closet full of stuff I didn’t even wear and only wore a handful of things in the closet.
thank you for this! I’ve been stuck in comfy clothes since last year but now that life is slowly picking back up I feel so uninspired by my closet because I realized the things I was wearing pre-pandemic were based on trends and not who I really am. I’m ready to start expressing myself in a more creative way and this video was a great first step to that. let me get on this HW assignment 😌
I loved this video! And hearing you explain your style. This approach is much more sustainable in every way than mindless trend following. For me to find my style I first had to find by body type (using the Kibbe/McJimsey method) then my colour season (deep autumn) and then finally my personal essence (style thoughts by rita helped with this a bit!). I'd describe my style as "stormy modern fairy" which translates to dainty, feminine, youthful parts (fairy) mixed with sleek cuts and staple trends such as mom jeans (modern) as well as a lot of deeper colours, touches of edge such as leather, and makeup such as black cat eyeliner (stormy!).
I used to dress up often & be into fashion & stlye. After joining the military and wearing a uniform 5 days a week for 10 years, weight gain, etc. I kind of lost my style & don't know what it is besides "comfort chic". This was helpful.
EVER SINCE I WAS BORN, I ONLY WEAR CLOTHES THAT ARE BOUGHT BY MY MOM OR CLOTHES THAT ARE GIFTED TO ME. SO I NEVER REALLY CARED ABOUT MY APPEARANCE OR WHAT I WEAR. NOW THAT I'M IN MY 20'S, I'M STARTING TO SLOWLY BUILD MY DREAM WARDROBE AND DISCOVER MY PERSONAL STYLE. THIS YEAR, I BOUGHT 3 OUTFITS FROM A THRIFT STORE. AND I LOVE THESE 3 PIECES SO MUCH, I WOULD WEAR THEM EVERYTIME I GO OUT. I NOTICED, I LOVE WEARING LONG DRESSES. NEUTRAL COLORS. SLEEVES. LAYERS. TRENCH COAT. EVEN THOUGH THE WEATHER IS MOSTLY HOT HERE. I FEEL MORE CONFIDENT WHEN I GET TO WEAR MY FAVORITE CLOTHES. I EVEN CHOPPED MY HAIR SHORT AND I FEEL GREAT BECAUSE IT'S EXACTLY THE LOOK I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED EVEN THOUGH OTHER PEOPLE THINK I LOOK BETTER WITH LONG HAIR. WHEN I WEAR WHAT I WANT AND LOOK HOW I WANT, I FEEL LIKE A BADASS.
amy i have been a long time fan of yours and this video really solidified why. so many stylist/fashion creators are always shoving ideas of “timeless” and “classic” and all these rules. while you really always encourage self discovery and expression. thank you for making the content you do 💚
This is so interesting to me. I’ve been a student my whole life and basically lived in tshirts, sweatshirts, jeans, leggings… and that’s about it unless I went out to a party with my friends😅 now I’m pursuing my masters degree and as I prepare to enter a more “adult” world I think I’ll be more inclined to developing a personal style. I’ll have to do a little experimenting
Maybe try looking into the kibbe system through reddit, it helps a lot with dressing right in terms of both cuts, fits etc and physical presence! Most people finish their journey in 1-2 years tops
I am 19 and I have discovered my personal style it makes me really stand out from my peers I m glad that I don't fall for trends now I would surely have a great wardrobe throughout my life.
I'm 27 and STILL trying to figure out my personal style (instead of just always trying to make whatever I think looks good on others work for me as a petite person) THIS VIDEO WAS SO INSPIRATIONAL and made me really excited to try again. I love that you inspire me to be myself by YOU just knowing and being true to yourself.
I have watched so many of these finding your personal style vids but honestly yours is the first one that I actually found helpful. Everywhere they tell you to first find your aesthetic but I couldn't agree more with what u said about people not having just one aesthetic that they dress up like
I loved this video. The conversation was so real between style vs. trends. Oftentimes we get caught up in the trends that we forget that we can add trends to our own style and not just make our wardrobe out of trends.
I’ve always been into loungewear pajama vibes, or slip on dresses with long light jackets and lastly grunge- gothic soft core. I have my femme masculine days too but really I dress how I feel that day, there’s no trends in my wardrobe 🤷🏻♀️ Thanks Amy! Awesome content as always ❤️
PLEASEEEE AMY. You say you can talk about fashion and personal style for days. Please do! I absolutely love these videos and honestly your thoughts on it are so interesting. So please more videos like this! do a curvy general style please.
I’ve been waiting an honest video like this! I agree with the confidence idea. When I am feeling confident I feel really good about what I’m rocking. Also I wear more daring outfits too when feeling extra
When I was in my teens and early twenties my style was very well defined! But now that I’m in the working world (a teacher) and that I’m starting my 30’s, it’s been a struggle 🥴 I don’t like the way I look in my old clothes even though they still fit me, I just don’t feel like myself anymore in those colorful clothes that I loved to wear! Here I am, trying out the neutrals and rediscovering what makes me feel good! So far, I know that skater skirts and dresses that accentuate my waist, are very flattering. Still working on it!
I would so appreciate you making a video about styling different body types. I recently had my second baby and feel a call to start fresh with my clothing. I have also been that person who hid myself due to PTSD and am regaining confidence to shed the past selves. Love this content and your view points ❤️
I think i like a mix of preppy vibes (pleated mini skirts, backpack purses, high ponytails, white tennis shoes etc) with sophisticated model vibes (blazers, heels, bodysuits)
Me encanta tu contenido porque creo que eres de las pocas personas que realmente se toma el tiempo de investigar, poner ejemplos, y todas esas cosas que le dan calidad al contenido, no sólo hacer videos por hacerlos y que sean sólo de relleno. Definitivamente me gustaría ver más videos como este y no tengas miedo de hacerlos más elaborados o profundos, porque se que a esto te dedicas y seguramente tienes mucha información valiosa. Saludos desde Puerto Vallarta! Un lugar tropical que seguro te gustaría visitar pronto aquí en México
I took the 7 universal styles to create my own style and I am: -traditional, romantic with touches of creative. I am an inverted triangle, so now is easier to buy, but I has taken me a lot of experimentation to find what I love.
I’m an art director and designer. I’ve watched a lot of videos about personal style/taste. I think you nailed it better than most people I’ve heard. I love the take of infusing yourself into it, I think that’s the most important thing anyone could ever say.
It's so real! No joke, I had a roommate just like that... so passive aggressive. Back handed "compliments" about everything from my eating habits, to the colors I'd pair together with my outfits and then when I pull into the apartment complex parkinglot after winter break I see her getting out of her car in ALMOST exactly the same outfit I was wearing in that moment and I wanted to scream lol 😆 My hair is also naturally curly and I've always worn it as such. She started curling her hair and would tell people it was naturally curly when it was obviously not. I can't even hahahaha
True! When I was in class (no it is online) I went preppy-ish style/relaxed, but with my blowout done. No make up, cause it is hot more of the time here and I really didn't want to mess my oily face more 😅 and my female classmates were bad gossiping about me being over dressing and taking too much to just going to sit and listent in class. when the year almost dijiste, they were wearing cute outfits, and beautiful hairstyles... I wasn't jealous, just smiling inside like: girl, you just give me the reason ay the end.😂😂 I love cute things, so I really light up when see beautiful around me. Yeah, they were exoecting I stop, bit I didn't. Being cute-femenine it is my style and I am not giving up. It si my podwer, I am not letting anyone bring me down as I allowed in the past.
i don’t wear every style out there but will participate in some. my friends always note my outfits like all the time. especially out of uniform days (if you have uniform yk). i try and love to express my fav colors, pieces, and myself through what i wear. i lean towards pastels/skirts/feminine yet put together outfits. i really have noticed myself tearing up in this video because i’ve always wanted to wear whatever since i was young but told i was overdressing by peers. yet recently (like past two years) i’ve been coming out of my shell and trying what i like even if it’s fancy. i remember my first out of uniform where i tried and i felt so good. now my grade has like doubled in size stepping into an older grade and i’m both nervous and excited for our first out of uniform. some of those comments and remarks still hurt me about being so extra, but i really want to show myself. i already know some ppl are gonna judge me and say remarks but i’m preparing to overcome it. (wish me luck!!!) i really just want to say ty because this video really captures what i feel and think being kinda known for style in my school and by my friends. i’m kinda considered “popular” by some ppl (they’ve told me that and it’s so awkward for me 👉👈) and lots of the girls have ummm… fashion but not style. i hope to be shown in a kind light (i’m not one for drama) with good style and just be friends with who i am because i like them. so ty for this video ❤️
Love love love this. I still really struggle with my style and putting outfits together. I always struggle with clearing out my closet and shopping because I'm not sure how to select and find things that work for me and put them together. MORE videos like this!
Amyyy I'm so glad I found your channel. It's exactly what I wanted. You really understand for fashion for its essence and not the surface level shit you see all over UA-cam
I love this video so much-it’s such a reminder of owning what you KNOW you’re meant to wear and ignoring the fluff of overbuying and overconsumption just to keep up with what’s popular. I’ve paired down my clothing collection so much and am loving just being more honest with myself about what I love myself in, what looks make me feel beautiful and confident, and not spending money on anything unless is 100% represents who I am and what I stand for. I love fashion channels like yours that advocate for choosing personal style over fast trends. ❤️❤️
YES! I usually dress more on the vintage and preppy side which i think suits my work perfectly but people at work dress super casual and boring so I stand out a TON. I've been told to try not to call too much attention to myself because the area is a bit unsafe but tbh I don't think it matters what you wear for someone who wants to rob you. I love wearing midi skirts, block heels and I stand up tall because I know I look great
loved this video- I’ve been having a fashion crisis where my closet feels foreign to me all of a sudden bc I couldn’t think of what works for me - this video helped me this over that again!
LOVED this video and it's fascinating seeing the focus on fashion on your channel again. I soooo agree with the feeling that nowadays everyone looks so similar and therefore, boring.
The most consistent element in my style is contrast. I like pairing opposites because it’s interesting and exciting to me. I also love whimsical pieces (metallics, layered sequins, texture, beading, and foils). The 1970s is my favorite fashion era. I love the prints and colors. Overall I’m pretty modest as far as being covered up though. My day-to-day style is different than when I “get dressed.” When I get dressed for an occasion, it’s all party party party.
This video was sooooo good Amy. Every point was 100% real. I absolutely love the part about confidence and projection. Haters often do become your biggest copy-cats. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Wow. I kinda stumbled on this video and you caught me in the 5 minutes!! I feel like everyone is just buying the same stuff from the same place. So many people look the same…!
I am absolutely in lovee with this video and your personality!! I followed the steps and was able to really captivate my whole style, personality and values when designing my moodboard which was interesting as i was focusing on fashion, but was able to see my personal style outside of fashion aswell, e.g- I realised that my value of loving to make others laugh was reflected in my love for colour in clothes and how it was also inspired by my jamaican heritage and many other things. I've been watching so many videos after realising I owned way too many statement pieces and was worried that I was following trends, but your video is the only one that really helped me to see me and what I actually like. It's so important within this generation; not saying that you can't take inspo from trends, but as you perfectly described, having your own personal flair is so important. THANK YOU AGAIN !! I've subscribed, God bless! xx
Unfortunately, being plus size still extremely limits your available options. Finally, this is beginning to change. I’m seeing more stylish options for everyone, not just black polyester skirts and pants! H&M has some great plus-sized styles now, but sadly, they’re still heavy on the synthetics (when I’m overweight, breathability is more important than ever!). I’ve always tried to stay in the normal BMI range, for my long-term health, but it does make shopping a lot easier, too. I’m looking forward to there being no separate “Plus Sizes”, just a range of sizes to fit everyone, in every garment offered. This was once the case, but the population is just heavier now, the US average woman is 5’4” and size 16, not 5’9” and size 6, as most clothes are designed for. I don’t know a single female who approaches that “ideal”, it’s just not realistic.
Clothes just "flow" better on clothes hanger bodies, that's why " skinny or outfit?" Is actually a thing. That is my problem. There are a lot of options now (the 80's and 90's were super hard) but the clothes don't fit or hang the same way they do on slimmer bodies. Buying larger clothes isn't the answer, then you just end up swallowed up by baggy clothes. I am at a loss as how to get that natural feel without buying bespoke clothes.
Excellent advice, Amy, thanks. I was also overly influenced by the Boho style, which was big in California, where I live. I took advantage of a significant weight loss and age milestone, to jettison this strained style. I’m so much more “me” in the more simple, sophisticated, classic styles I wore during most of my life, except for the Boho period. It’s funny, Boho is now a big trend in Europe and the UK. There will always be a remnant of this style, I think.
Love this!! Thank you for putting together such brilliant content! Doing the homework at the moment! Would absolutely LOVE to hear about signature style! Xx
Yes I want more videos.. I feel like I used to be but let people influence me into thinking I was too much and now I’m so lost on my style I’ve just gone to plain basic so that maybe I could figure it out again
honestly, i´ve just noticed how i dress to hide myself. i have a style in mind but i just dont feel comfortable in my body to rock it, like form fitting dress or crop top showing part of my belly fat. i just dont dress to my desire or potential. i dress out of fear.
“fashion says ‘me too’, style says ‘only me’ ”
LOVE!
Well said 👏
OMG I love this‼️😉
omg
This honestly blew my mind
My boyfriend once told me that there is no such thing as “over dressing”. He says the concept of over dressing was created by insecure individuals to make u feel bad for being yourself
I agree with your bf. It's SO true
He was speaking facts
Awesome boyfriend
Lol yea my ex used to tell me I was overdressed all the time 😂
Uh, if you show up to work or school in an evening gown and tiara I think it's safe to say your overdressed. No insecurity involved. Just fact. There is a such thing as dressing for an occasion.
I obtained a personal style the day I decided to wear what I actually want and stopped listening to other people's opinions (especially family). In the beginning it feels weird to be "overdressed" but then you realize that you are not overdressed, the others are simply underdressed. Bitch, I'm fabulous...
I have relatives who push me to buy things I hate, and to pass on things I love, even though I repeatedly say “keep your opinions to yourself”. I do best, and have no stress, when shopping alone. I want to wear what I like, not what some else likes, plus they have different shapes and needs. I’m sick of everyone telling me not to wear white bottoms, for example. Yes, they’re bad for their huge hips and thighs, but great on my skinny ones.
@@kimberlyperrotis8962 and white bottoms can be great on huge hips and thighs too. Just depends. Everyone is different.
I aspire this energy :D For me its the same, but I am good with it now. It is my money and my body. You don't pay for it so shut up :D
Fr I love wearing heels
PERIOD
For me, a big part of being sure of my style is asking myself: would my 9 year old self like it or not? I feel like as kids we are more unapologetically ourselves, we don't feel the need to follow trends or anything. We just like things!
Interesting you say that....I've been acquiring pieces that are modern takes on things I loved in my childhood/teen years when I had more fun and less worries and more confidence to be creative and experiment. It's been fun to do this and fun ro get creative and figure out how to incorporate the injection of youth and playfulness to my now more adult and practical side. Doing this has helped me completely get a real personal style back for myself, as I lost it for a couple years while going through some hardships of life.
Now I look forward to getting dressed because it feels like me...all versions of me.
I've been doing something similar recently! Just going back to what my younger self naturally gravitated to before the influence of social media. Its a good tip!
When I was little I loved choosing my clothes and would wear stuff I liked or else I wouldn't but then middle School happened and kids weren't nice so I just wore what was accepted and I've stucked with that I miss just choosing what I want and saying to myself if others are going to like it
when i was little i refused to wear anything but wellies and tutus (i also loved my pig hat but my parents put their foot down there 😅) soooo 😍
Nine year old me would be happy wearing the gaudiest most poofiest dress in the store so I'm not sure that's a good indicator for style for me lmao 💀

Love this video. It helped me on so many levels - including psychologically. Thanks, girl.
I literally had to pause this video tearing up, because I recently started overcoming a very self harming, dangerous shopping addiction, and I'm finally understanding that all of this time, I was looking to be someone else / anyone else but me and I just kept buying stuff over and over again thinking I'd finally "look good" or "feel good" while I've probably just always have been afraid of owning the style I have in my head but never dare to be?
Idk, I'm all shook up right now and just thank you Amy! I feel like this should be an obligatory video to watch in school
My love !! Thank you for your vulnerability! You have no idea how happy i am that this video helped you have that mind shift. So excited for your self discovery journey 💘
I wish you all blessings of God
Whether you believe or not, you're valuable and worthy ❤
This really, really hits home for me. Wishing you well, María, and others who many be similarly struggling. ❤️
If you have the mental capacity, would you mind sharing a couple tips that have been helping you overcome this?
@@gorlgoyle Dear Paige, gladly!
First of all, therapy really helped, but not just therapy, but actually commuting with myself to be honest, to recognize about my shopping binges and how bad it made me feel… talking to anyone about what’s difficult or literally an addiction for you is the first step always, to getting better.
It helped me too to start having cash again for my weekend expenses instead of using my card like crazy, I deleted most of my shopping apps and unsubscribed for tempting emails for things I knew I absolutely did not *need* no matter how hard I liked something.
I also cleansed my closet taking into consideration all the points that Amy refers to, what’s really me? And what do I see myself wearing? And sold most of it. Letting go of all that felt like a weight lifted off of my shoulders and freed me a bit.
Sometimes seeing everything you have stored, or available to yourself makes you realize about the fact that some minor details like good friends and relationships are super worth more than getting 20 shirts on sale. It’s overwhelming, really, but it’s the punch of reality you may need to realize you may have “shopped too much”.
I hope this helps 🧡 sending you lots of good vibes and love wherever u are
5 REASONS YOU CAN’T FIND YOUR PERSONAL STYLE
▫️2:49 You think one aesthetic is personal style.
▫️3:34 You’re buying too many trendy pieces.
▫️4:22 Stop relying on others to dictate what to wear.
▫️7:53 You lack the confidence to wear what you want.
▫️9:25 You care too much about what other people think
(13:44 How can i develop my personal style)
the 'what do people wear to X' vs 'what does Hannah wear to X' literally just blew my mind because I actually do that and feel like I'm never dressing true to myself! definitely a mindset I need to adopt
Ok, my 3 vibes are: masculine/femenine (I'm pretty femme but I love to add menswear aspects), rock and roll chick (shirley manson from garbage) and your favorite anthropolgy teacher (love me some natural fabrics, oversized shirts and denim)
I LOVE THIS MIX! wow babe. thanks for sharing!!
Omg I am exactly the same! I love that😍!
Can relate haha
I’m at a place where I’m pretty happy w/ my personal style, but if there’s anything I learned from that experience it’s that overt trend-chasing will literally kill any meaningful advancements in that area lol. Of course, experimentation is necessary, but being HYPER selective w/ the trends you choose to participate in is one of the smartest things you can do imo! Unfollow some influencers if you have to tbh 🤷🏽
100 percent agree.
This is something I’ve only recently started to learn and I so wish younger me could have benefited from realizing this. I’ve spent so much time trying to emulate certain trends that I lost myself in that madness and hyper consumerism.
This may seem tedious for some people, but as someone with BPD who struggles with identity diffusion/disturbance, the tangible steps of creating a mood board and going back to it whenever I feel lost is super helpful. Thank you so much for this!!
i’m going to do this!! thanks:)
It might help looking into the kibbe system (through the reddit community, the other info on the internet is mostly old and stereotypical), it has a special niche of it called essence that helps channel the overall vibe one has (plus there's lots of pinterest boards and examples of style icons). Or the truth is beauty essences, they have exact pinterest boards to help pinpoint yours!
I feel cute at home than instantly I feel super nervous once I step out, thanks social anxiety.
This is a great guide. I think we are on the same boat. :))
And if its not enough do 4 mood boards for 4 seasons (I live in 4 seasons climate) and create 4 capsule wardrobes 🥰
I appreciate that you put up pics & examples of what you mean or who you're talking about. It helps me better absorb all this great information you give us. (If I don't, I Google who or what you spoke of) 8p
Yes i'm so visual so I try my best! thanks for appreciating that love! means alot!
Yeah alot of people are insecure when they see someone different,,,but confidence is the best accessory,,
Dare to look different! If you love dresses, wear them, instead of jeans, or vice-versa. I always loved silk scarves, for example, and wore them when they weren’t “in”. They’re just a frequent element in my style, hot or not. If it’s situation-appropriate, comfortable and makes you feel great, wear it, it doesn’t matter if anyone else does, this type of confidence grows!
I'm really drawn to skater/grunge aesthetic ( lately with lots of color). How do you make this style fit into work appropriate clothing? I want to feel like myself at work, but hate that I end up just buying clothes to fit the mold of what is traditionally deemed okay to wear. A video on personal style ~but make it professional~ would be so so helpful
maybe a basic outfit but with a twist/statement piece, like instead of a basic blouse, an oversized blouse with some jewelry or smth (this is just my first thought lol you can hate it)
For me personally, the skater grunge aesthetic is very relaxed but also kind of edgy at the same time. (It may mean something completely different to you. You decide based on your interpretation of the aesthetic.) Perhaps, try different textures such as adding in leather to your outfit (leather blazer? boots?) or a more relaxed fitting suit (boyfriend blazer) or try the same color scheme/palette or try more edgier accessories (chain necklaces, chunkier soles on shoes, raw hemmed scarf, bigger and bolder accessories). Those are some suggestions but please make sure to check the dress code first.
Funky rings can really make a difference. I have started to buy vintage and modern rings and the mix is super rock and roll to me. They don’t even have to be super crazy rings. Mixing metals with rings can be a really cool look.
Not all styles can be made work appropriate, grunge is one example. To a great extent, one has to conform to workplace standards. Two different wardrobes is the answer.
I think it depends on what the skater/grunge aesthetic means to you and what your work environment is like. For me (a person who graduated from high school in the early 90’s), skater/grunge was flannel shirts, vintage tees, and shag/Courtney Love type hair. So if I wanted to bring that look into my business casual office, I’d mix wider leg trousers in maybe a window plaid or a pinstripe with a graphic tee and top it with a school boy blazer in a coordinating color. Or, if you have a more business professional office, I’d have a more traditional single button pantsuit with a linen or silk slightly over side tee and some really cool shoes- like those thick sole oxfords that are popular now.
Thank you for saying that no one has just one aesthetic! I always felt so weird having both a gothic and pastel aesthetic until I realized that it's ok to have multiple ones!
Girl thank you for saying no one has one style because that is what really boxes us in and confuses us.
i think i’m pretty happy with my personal style atm. in middle school my style wasn’t really my own, just what everyone else was wearing so i fit in. skinny jeans, cropped sweatshirts, etc. and now i hate those things because they remind me of middle school and how it felt like torture because i couldn’t be myself and my mental health was extremely bad. but now, i’m in high school at a performing arts school where everybody wears what they want and can express themself unapologetically, which is what made me feel really comfortable in what i like to wear. i’ve been wearing outfits i wouldn’t dream of wearing at my old school or at any public school, and i feel so much more happy. so please, don’t follow trends just to fit in, it will make you miserable. wear what YOU and ONLY YOU want to wear
My ENTIRE closet is filled with clothes my mother told me I would look good in, but I hate them all. They're not ME, they're more her or maybe even who she wishes I would be. On top of that, I am extremely insecure and self-loathing. My body shape is awkward, I have no clue how to do even the simplest makeup, and I suffer from chronic illnesses that make me look different... I'm working on it, and you're video is a great start. Thank you ❤️
I’ve been traveling to Mexico a lot this year and I’ve been noticing how much I’ve been embracing my culture more in my style ❤️🔥
Oh I miss Mexico & can’t wait to visit again❣️I miss the food, people, geography & culture ‼️🇲🇽
This is something I'd very much love to do. Idk where to start tho lol
You hit the nail on the head, because, once I made the goal of no longer caring what other people think, I realized my clothes were no longer good enough. They didn't truly reflect who I am. I shaved my head and changed how I do my makeup and I feel more myself. My wardrobe is the next step.
Girl I’m 37, I haven’t had homework in like 15 years 😂😂😂
But I’m so interested in trying this out. I feel like I am all over the place. My body changed so much with becoming a mother, I can’t pull the style I used to have anymore. Which funny enough was that Twins, Gwen (90’s). So now it’s harder to have a style that goes well with my body and what I like.
I would love to see a video that talks about body types and what looks good .
Signature styles video would be awesome too!!!
Thank you!!!
As a mom the only major thing that I’ve held onto -as an individual, is my personal style. So I go hard with it! LoL
The playground is now my catwalk 😎
Other moms love it❣️
Style is presenting yourself without even opening your mouth :)
as someone who grew up with uniforms and wasnt allowed to go out with friends until 15 AND a "plus sized" woman in anXS-S country who has been fat shamed since i could remember by my fam, I have 0 sense of style. So this is really a big big help. Thank you!
I was thinking about my personal style the other day and I realized that I haven’t been comfortable wearing strappy camis and I feel more comfortable wearing t-shirts I realized what makes me feel most confident is dressing masculine so that’s what I’m striving for!
i know what i like and what my personal style is, but because i am insecure about my body, i often don’t feel comfortable enough to wear certain items. i would love a video about style and body positivity!!
😫she stepped on my toes with #5. I’m in college and I’m comfortable wearing the leggings, biker shorts, and sweatshirts but I realize that I use them as a “comfort” and as a way to not step out and wear what I actually want. Even though my own personal style consists of wearing over-the-top and wacky pieces. I would sometimes put on an outfit that was really “extravagant” or “classy,” but then I would talk myself down out of wearing it thinking about how others would look at me or if it was too much or would draw too much attention to myself.
I think I've finally found my own style. But the main problem I've run into while I was trying to find my personal style is that I'm constantly on pinterest scrolling for hours looking for specific outfits. I've found very few that speak to me. I love tutus, plaid, dress, ruffles, puff sleeves, corsets, hardware items like chains and grommets, and I LOVE layering. Not Disney Channel layering, but korean girl group circa 2018 layering. I don't find a lot of things like that on the internet and trust me, I've tried. But now I know for a fact I don't have a certain "aesthetic", but I know who I am and I know what I like.
My three vibes have always been ultrafemme, goth and historically inspired (the 70s, the Victorian era, Renaissance, Tudor English fashion, medieval)
And I found it really easy to channel those into a style by breaking it down into core components that define them. The vast majority of my clothes being dresses and long skirts, dramatic sleeves, luxe fabrics, wide leg of flared trousers if I wear them at all - anything that really flows. Pointy toed footwear, massive hats. Endless maximalism.
I made it into a Pinterest board and reddit post years ago and to this day it's still me, even as it evolves.
For me, it’s because for the longest time, I followed trends (out of style within a few months-fastest way to waste money) and collected everything I thought was pretty or cool. But they weren’t me. So I had a closet full of stuff I didn’t even wear and only wore a handful of things in the closet.
thank you for this! I’ve been stuck in comfy clothes since last year but now that life is slowly picking back up I feel so uninspired by my closet because I realized the things I was wearing pre-pandemic were based on trends and not who I really am. I’m ready to start expressing myself in a more creative way and this video was a great first step to that. let me get on this HW assignment 😌
I loved this video! And hearing you explain your style. This approach is much more sustainable in every way than mindless trend following. For me to find my style I first had to find by body type (using the Kibbe/McJimsey method) then my colour season (deep autumn) and then finally my personal essence (style thoughts by rita helped with this a bit!). I'd describe my style as "stormy modern fairy" which translates to dainty, feminine, youthful parts (fairy) mixed with sleek cuts and staple trends such as mom jeans (modern) as well as a lot of deeper colours, touches of edge such as leather, and makeup such as black cat eyeliner (stormy!).
I used to dress up often & be into fashion & stlye. After joining the military and wearing a uniform 5 days a week for 10 years, weight gain, etc. I kind of lost my style & don't know what it is besides "comfort chic". This was helpful.
EVER SINCE I WAS BORN, I ONLY WEAR CLOTHES THAT ARE BOUGHT BY MY MOM OR CLOTHES THAT ARE GIFTED TO ME. SO I NEVER REALLY CARED ABOUT MY APPEARANCE OR WHAT I WEAR. NOW THAT I'M IN MY 20'S, I'M STARTING TO SLOWLY BUILD MY DREAM WARDROBE AND DISCOVER MY PERSONAL STYLE. THIS YEAR, I BOUGHT 3 OUTFITS FROM A THRIFT STORE. AND I LOVE THESE 3 PIECES SO MUCH, I WOULD WEAR THEM EVERYTIME I GO OUT. I NOTICED, I LOVE WEARING LONG DRESSES. NEUTRAL COLORS. SLEEVES. LAYERS. TRENCH COAT. EVEN THOUGH THE WEATHER IS MOSTLY HOT HERE. I FEEL MORE CONFIDENT WHEN I GET TO WEAR MY FAVORITE CLOTHES. I EVEN CHOPPED MY HAIR SHORT AND I FEEL GREAT BECAUSE IT'S EXACTLY THE LOOK I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED EVEN THOUGH OTHER PEOPLE THINK I LOOK BETTER WITH LONG HAIR. WHEN I WEAR WHAT I WANT AND LOOK HOW I WANT, I FEEL LIKE A BADASS.
amy i have been a long time fan of yours and this video really solidified why. so many stylist/fashion creators are always shoving ideas of “timeless” and “classic” and all these rules. while you really always encourage self discovery and expression. thank you for making the content you do 💚
This is so interesting to me. I’ve been a student my whole life and basically lived in tshirts, sweatshirts, jeans, leggings… and that’s about it unless I went out to a party with my friends😅 now I’m pursuing my masters degree and as I prepare to enter a more “adult” world I think I’ll be more inclined to developing a personal style. I’ll have to do a little experimenting
Maybe try looking into the kibbe system through reddit, it helps a lot with dressing right in terms of both cuts, fits etc and physical presence! Most people finish their journey in 1-2 years tops
I am 19 and I have discovered my personal style it makes me really stand out from my peers I m glad that I don't fall for trends now I would surely have a great wardrobe throughout my life.
I'm 27 and STILL trying to figure out my personal style (instead of just always trying to make whatever I think looks good on others work for me as a petite person) THIS VIDEO WAS SO INSPIRATIONAL and made me really excited to try again. I love that you inspire me to be myself by YOU just knowing and being true to yourself.
if you want to experiment with styles get into thrifting. It is an affordable way to try things without committing a lot of money to it.
i needed this video, i’ve been looking for something like this for years
I know right ⁉️
I have watched so many of these finding your personal style vids but honestly yours is the first one that I actually found helpful. Everywhere they tell you to first find your aesthetic but I couldn't agree more with what u said about people not having just one aesthetic that they dress up like
I loved this video. The conversation was so real between style vs. trends. Oftentimes we get caught up in the trends that we forget that we can add trends to our own style and not just make our wardrobe out of trends.
I’ve always been into loungewear pajama vibes, or slip on dresses with long light jackets and lastly grunge- gothic soft core. I have my femme masculine days too but really I dress how I feel that day, there’s no trends in my wardrobe 🤷🏻♀️ Thanks Amy! Awesome content as always ❤️
PLEASEEEE AMY. You say you can talk about fashion and personal style for days. Please do! I absolutely love these videos and honestly your thoughts on it are so interesting. So please more videos like this! do a curvy general style please.
You seem literally so nice and you make me feel like I’m in a safe space
I’ve been waiting an honest video like this! I agree with the confidence idea. When I am feeling confident I feel really good about what I’m rocking. Also I wear more daring outfits too when feeling extra
When I was in my teens and early twenties my style was very well defined! But now that I’m in the working world (a teacher) and that I’m starting my 30’s, it’s been a struggle 🥴 I don’t like the way I look in my old clothes even though they still fit me, I just don’t feel like myself anymore in those colorful clothes that I loved to wear!
Here I am, trying out the neutrals and rediscovering what makes me feel good! So far, I know that skater skirts and dresses that accentuate my waist, are very flattering. Still working on it!
I would so appreciate you making a video about styling different body types. I recently had my second baby and feel a call to start fresh with my clothing. I have also been that person who hid myself due to PTSD and am regaining confidence to shed the past selves. Love this content and your view points ❤️
I think i like a mix of preppy vibes (pleated mini skirts, backpack purses, high ponytails, white tennis shoes etc) with sophisticated model vibes (blazers, heels, bodysuits)
Me encanta tu contenido porque creo que eres de las pocas personas que realmente se toma el tiempo de investigar, poner ejemplos, y todas esas cosas que le dan calidad al contenido, no sólo hacer videos por hacerlos y que sean sólo de relleno. Definitivamente me gustaría ver más videos como este y no tengas miedo de hacerlos más elaborados o profundos, porque se que a esto te dedicas y seguramente tienes mucha información valiosa. Saludos desde Puerto Vallarta! Un lugar tropical que seguro te gustaría visitar pronto aquí en México
I took the 7 universal styles to create my own style and I am:
-traditional, romantic with touches of creative.
I am an inverted triangle, so now is easier to buy, but I has taken me a lot of experimentation to find what I love.
I also have an inverted trinagle body! May I ask what kinds of pieces do you like?
I’m an art director and designer. I’ve watched a lot of videos about personal style/taste. I think you nailed it better than most people I’ve heard. I love the take of infusing yourself into it, I think that’s the most important thing anyone could ever say.
I love, and feel confident in, my personal style, I just enjoy watching fashion/style content.
Yo you are speaking straight facts! “They start off as haters and then end up copying you” 💯
It's so real! No joke, I had a roommate just like that... so passive aggressive. Back handed "compliments" about everything from my eating habits, to the colors I'd pair together with my outfits and then when I pull into the apartment complex parkinglot after winter break I see her getting out of her car in ALMOST exactly the same outfit I was wearing in that moment and I wanted to scream lol 😆 My hair is also naturally curly and I've always worn it as such. She started curling her hair and would tell people it was naturally curly when it was obviously not. I can't even hahahaha
Definitely
True! When I was in class (no it is online) I went preppy-ish style/relaxed, but with my blowout done. No make up, cause it is hot more of the time here and I really didn't want to mess my oily face more 😅
and my female classmates were bad gossiping about me being over dressing and taking too much to just going to sit and listent in class.
when the year almost dijiste, they were wearing cute outfits, and beautiful hairstyles...
I wasn't jealous, just smiling inside like: girl, you just give me the reason ay the end.😂😂
I love cute things, so I really light up when see beautiful around me.
Yeah, they were exoecting I stop, bit I didn't. Being cute-femenine it is my style and I am not giving up. It si my podwer, I am not letting anyone bring me down as I allowed in the past.
This was so helpful! I’ve always loved 70s inspired things. I didn’t realize just how much it actually indeed is my vibe!
i don’t wear every style out there but will participate in some. my friends always note my outfits like all the time. especially out of uniform days (if you have uniform yk). i try and love to express my fav colors, pieces, and myself through what i wear. i lean towards pastels/skirts/feminine yet put together outfits. i really have noticed myself tearing up in this video because i’ve always wanted to wear whatever since i was young but told i was overdressing by peers. yet recently (like past two years) i’ve been coming out of my shell and trying what i like even if it’s fancy. i remember my first out of uniform where i tried and i felt so good. now my grade has like doubled in size stepping into an older grade and i’m both nervous and excited for our first out of uniform. some of those comments and remarks still hurt me about being so extra, but i really want to show myself. i already know some ppl are gonna judge me and say remarks but i’m preparing to overcome it. (wish me luck!!!) i really just want to say ty because this video really captures what i feel and think being kinda known for style in my school and by my friends. i’m kinda considered “popular” by some ppl (they’ve told me that and it’s so awkward for me 👉👈) and lots of the girls have ummm… fashion but not style. i hope to be shown in a kind light (i’m not one for drama) with good style and just be friends with who i am because i like them. so ty for this video ❤️
I’d love to see a signature style video on Zendaya!!! Her collabs w Law Roach are the stuff dreams are made of 🤩🤩 !!
Love love love this. I still really struggle with my style and putting outfits together. I always struggle with clearing out my closet and shopping because I'm not sure how to select and find things that work for me and put them together. MORE videos like this!
Bless this girl! I can’t believe I’ve never come across her videos, there’s no bullshit whatsoever I love it♥️
i can’t stress how helpful this video was for me. it was just what i needed to hear. everything clicked into place in my mind. thank you💕💕
Amyyy I'm so glad I found your channel. It's exactly what I wanted. You really understand for fashion for its essence and not the surface level shit you see all over UA-cam
I really love how you speak with your hands and how you can really point out the styles! Thanks for your video!
You look so healthy and beautiful Amy
aw thank you Ana!!
I love this video so much-it’s such a reminder of owning what you KNOW you’re meant to wear and ignoring the fluff of overbuying and overconsumption just to keep up with what’s popular. I’ve paired down my clothing collection so much and am loving just being more honest with myself about what I love myself in, what looks make me feel beautiful and confident, and not spending money on anything unless is 100% represents who I am and what I stand for. I love fashion channels like yours that advocate for choosing personal style over fast trends. ❤️❤️
YES! I usually dress more on the vintage and preppy side which i think suits my work perfectly but people at work dress super casual and boring so I stand out a TON. I've been told to try not to call too much attention to myself because the area is a bit unsafe but tbh I don't think it matters what you wear for someone who wants to rob you. I love wearing midi skirts, block heels and I stand up tall because I know I look great
i’ve been trying to find my personal style for far too long and i’m deff going to be taking MANY notes 📝
loved this video- I’ve been having a fashion crisis where my closet feels foreign to me all of a sudden bc I couldn’t think of what works for me - this video helped me this over that again!
Girlfriend this is definitely one of your best styling videos..thank you!
aww thank you!!
LOVED this video and it's fascinating seeing the focus on fashion on your channel again. I soooo agree with the feeling that nowadays everyone looks so similar and therefore, boring.
I love these kinds of videos! They always get the creative juices flowing! I'd love a video on Sophie Turner's streetwear lol
The most consistent element in my style is contrast. I like pairing opposites because it’s interesting and exciting to me. I also love whimsical pieces (metallics, layered sequins, texture, beading, and foils). The 1970s is my favorite fashion era. I love the prints and colors. Overall I’m pretty modest as far as being covered up though. My day-to-day style is different than when I “get dressed.” When I get dressed for an occasion, it’s all party party party.
This video was sooooo good Amy. Every point was 100% real. I absolutely love the part about confidence and projection. Haters often do become your biggest copy-cats. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Had to save this video as a reminder to myself when I start to get stressed about my style. I love this
Wow. I kinda stumbled on this video and you caught me in the 5 minutes!!
I feel like everyone is just buying the same stuff from the same place. So many people look the same…!
I am absolutely in lovee with this video and your personality!! I followed the steps and was able to really captivate my whole style, personality and values when designing my moodboard which was interesting as i was focusing on fashion, but was able to see my personal style outside of fashion aswell, e.g- I realised that my value of loving to make others laugh was reflected in my love for colour in clothes and how it was also inspired by my jamaican heritage and many other things. I've been watching so many videos after realising I owned way too many statement pieces and was worried that I was following trends, but your video is the only one that really helped me to see me and what I actually like. It's so important within this generation; not saying that you can't take inspo from trends, but as you perfectly described, having your own personal flair is so important. THANK YOU AGAIN !! I've subscribed, God bless! xx
I loved your video, i could see myself in many of the points you made! You definetly got a subscriber from me😊
These are the videos I need!!! Do not chill out on these!! You is great, you is so knowledgeable. Haha
Thank you boo!
this is the best personal style vid I have ever seen. and I've watched SO. MANY. over the years. thank you!
Unfortunately, being plus size still extremely limits your available options. Finally, this is beginning to change. I’m seeing more stylish options for everyone, not just black polyester skirts and pants! H&M has some great plus-sized styles now, but sadly, they’re still heavy on the synthetics (when I’m overweight, breathability is more important than ever!). I’ve always tried to stay in the normal BMI range, for my long-term health, but it does make shopping a lot easier, too. I’m looking forward to there being no separate “Plus Sizes”, just a range of sizes to fit everyone, in every garment offered. This was once the case, but the population is just heavier now, the US average woman is 5’4” and size 16, not 5’9” and size 6, as most clothes are designed for. I don’t know a single female who approaches that “ideal”, it’s just not realistic.
Monki has some plus size options and they often have several models of different sizes model the same clothes
Clothes just "flow" better on clothes hanger bodies, that's why " skinny or outfit?" Is actually a thing. That is my problem. There are a lot of options now (the 80's and 90's were super hard) but the clothes don't fit or hang the same way they do on slimmer bodies. Buying larger clothes isn't the answer, then you just end up swallowed up by baggy clothes. I am at a loss as how to get that natural feel without buying bespoke clothes.
thrifting can offer some good options as long as u have pieces in mind
I always love your approach to teaching us about fashion, style, and self love! Thank you!
This video motivated me to get up and find outfits I now have like 10 outfits to wear to an event or just to school or sm
Love love this video! Thank you so much. Would love to see one about body types as well.
Hye Amy .... you are amazing as always. I'm loving all these fall trends, A plus is that I have variations of them already in my closet.
Excellent advice, Amy, thanks. I was also overly influenced by the Boho style, which was big in California, where I live. I took advantage of a significant weight loss and age milestone, to jettison this strained style. I’m so much more “me” in the more simple, sophisticated, classic styles I wore during most of my life, except for the Boho period. It’s funny, Boho is now a big trend in Europe and the UK. There will always be a remnant of this style, I think.
I love this! It's like a guide, fashion course, inspiration and therapy in one! I love this video so so much! Thank you.
I loved this video!!!!! I do love following trends but I also want to find my own personal style. This defined it so well
I literally love you. This is speaking to me on so many levels. Thank you. Definitely going to keep tuning in.
I would love to see a vid on your fav signature styles! 🧡
this is honeslty the best video on fashion ive ever seen, thank you!
Thank you so much for making this video! I have been second guessing my style so much and this helped me get back on track! 😊❤
I love this! And yes, would love a video about the body shapes and how style goes with that
Love this!! Thank you for putting together such brilliant content! Doing the homework at the moment! Would absolutely LOVE to hear about signature style! Xx
This video is amazing and so super helpful, I can’t believe it doesn’t have millions of views!! Thanks for sharing
Yes I want more videos.. I feel like I used to be but let people influence me into thinking I was too much and now I’m so lost on my style I’ve just gone to plain basic so that maybe I could figure it out again
honestly, i´ve just noticed how i dress to hide myself. i have a style in mind but i just dont feel comfortable in my body to rock it, like form fitting dress or crop top showing part of my belly fat. i just dont dress to my desire or potential. i dress out of fear.
Omg this video it's so helpful! Thank you for sharing this info with us, I'll do the HW right away✨❤️
This was great for helping me identify my style. Thank you
Loved this video, currently working on my personal style and it’s been a process 😂 so I’m excited for this series!
Amy,
Your editing on this video was awesome. Also, this was such a great video. Gracias chica. Xoox 💕✨
Thank you, Amy💖 this was great. Yes, bring on the fashion series!
