Today's video is inspired by my own feelings I am having about Instagram at the moment. Of course, if you find that Instagram and Pinterest serves you well in terms of finding outfit inspiration - I am not here to stop you. This is simply advice for anyone who might feel that their outfits don’t really turn out the way they want to, or are struggling with their individual style. Whilst the internet is helpful in a lot of ways, we don’t need to use it all the time. Obviously, we managed to create great outfits before the internet came along. I also believe that you will find better outfits from gathering inspiration from the people around you and yourself, rather than from influencers online.
Maybe you already have someone in your life that serves as your main source of inspiration, a role model of some kind? If you do, please let me know in the comment section down below 💕

✨ Questions to ask yourself when looking for outfit inspiration ✨
Which clothes do you have?

3. How do you usually pair those items?
4. Can you try to pair them differently?
What kind of outfits do you like?
1. What outfit have you worn before that made you feel good?
2. In what environment or setting did you wear it?
3. What was it about the outfit that made you feel good? Was it the fit, the color, the style, the brand or something else?
4. Could you make minor tweaks to this outfit to make it fit into a different aspect of your life?
Do you really need a new outfit?
1. When was the last time you felt like you had nothing to wear?
2. Why did you feel that way?

honestly totally agree with you, also instagram's algorithm is so toxic... a great source for inspo are fashion history books with photos, then making your own clothes! ☺💕

[@LouiseWears]

Yes I love that, making your own clothes is so cool! And books are for sure a great resource 📚❤️

I deleted instagram, i never posted, i just was following people i also follow here on yt. Thats a reason why it got rid of it, because it didn't make sense to me. Now im getting bored of pinterest,because i see the same everyday. I have my inspo boards, i dont need more, for now, i have the style im going for right now. Everything on there is like burning my brain😂

Sounds like you made the right decision! Maybe it’s time for me to get rid of it too.. I am starting to take mini breaks from it and whenever I do I just feel a lot better + usually more inspired as well because it forces me to think for myself 😂
