    Fun question: How would you describe your current style era? 💃💃💃

      trying to figure it out, I love color: pink, blue and green families; Quiet luxury trend which is the description of how I like to dress; and I like a little edge: accessories, jewelry or something unusual. It's taken me a long time to get here, and still changing, Truthfully, I haven't paid any attention to style for a long time as I couldn't see how it was in my life. I wore scrubs everyday, pajamas or sweats in the evening, jeans or sweats on the weekend. Seldom went out and then also wore jeans and whatever, I am 6 feet tall and wear 20 with an apple shape: not a lot of choices out there, I always compared myself to others and came up lacking, yet used to dress up when I was younger. My girls are grown and they are very stylish and know how to choose clothes that suit them, and are always put together. Is this innate? They didn't get it from me. I thought of my younger sister and a good friend, both of whom could make a trash bag look good, and continued to wonder. Personally, I think that for some women, their brains are wired for their personal style, while others, like myself, have to figure it out. I have watched many videos but yours is the only one that digs in there and makes you see the edge of the confusion so that you can get out and do something, I also appreciate your honesty. Thanks for that.

    My new approach to my wardrobe is seeing my clothes as stock. I’m not rushing to clean out my closet and get rid of my things anymore. Now I’m trying separating the bulk of my clothing from the clothes I’m presently wearing. I don’t feel as overwhelmed and taking a piece out of my “stock” now frees me to experiment with it with the pieces I wear regularly without spending money and without the pressure of deciding quickly before the time to return said item has expired.

    I like how you mention defining modesty between yourself and the Lord, and making sure it’s not shame-based. But what I really appreciate is that you don’t throw that concept completely away.
    I’m hoping to give my daughter some very basic modesty “guidelines” as she grows up, and explain as an adult she will be able to discern and figure her standards with God’s help for herself.
    I also love how you talk about waiting until you find the right piece before you buy something.

    WOW this video is probably the most helpful one I’ve ever watched. Your “3 Acts” very closely mirror my own. I was such a tomboy growing up! And I too grew up with a religious household that, in a way, shamed femininity. I have healed that part of me and I love dressing feminine, modestly, and embracing my divinely-given gifts instead of swinging to the opposite spectrum.
    Your talk about doing the internal work for figure out “why you made the mess/clutter in the first place” was huge for me. I am the challenge right now of needing my clothes to fit my lifestyle (as a mom of little kids) but also wanting to feel pretty & feminine, and working with fluctuating weight & pregnancy & postpartum (it can be so discouraging when my favorite clothes no longer fit) and lastly, to really hone in on what I love , and why I love it.
    This is such a gripping video. I love hearing your story and seeing so much of my journey in what you said.

      Christina, thank you so much for sharing a part of your life with me, too. When I recorded this video, I didn't know if it would resonate with people, or if it would sound off the wall. I didn't know!! To hear that you felt this in your soul really means the most to me. 🥰 I appreciate what you said about femininity -- I've learned to break free from all shame (thanks to my Creator), and that was CERTAINLY an area that required a new perspective for me.
      I'm not sure if you're asking for style advice as a mama -- and I'm not yet a mama -- so take it with a grain of salt, but from what I've observed from my mama friends: adding sparkly jewelry and some lip stick/gloss makes a world of difference when you have an activity day where you NEED to wear jeans and a tee. I hope this helps! 🤗

      Last summer, I decided to really focus on my style almost daily until I could get a handle on it. The more focus, the faster you can grow! I started making videos with the intention of figuring it out, and you can watch and see the transformation visually with my outfits since then.

    We speak the same language. Same thing for me the past 2 yrs. Only thing I seem to have a problem with living in Florida is finding closed shoes for a dressy casual workplace. I tend to wear loafers, booties and menswear inspired oxfords. I don't wear heels and only wear slacks/pants, skinny, bootcut, straight and wide styles. Shoes are my toughest challenge with the heat. So far Oxford and booties are my go to's.

    Thanks for sharing your journey so far Priska, I'm approaching my late 30's and can so relate to the costume era and buying lots of dream lifestyle 'fancy' outfits in my 20's 😂 This has left me with some stunning vintage and collectable items, however my style and lifestyle is now very home based and quite casual. I am going through the process of realigning my wardrobe to have better, chic, 'personal vibe' reflecting options for day to day life. I've learned a lot from your videos over the last week and it has sparked some very big changes over here in my New Zealand wardrobe and mindset when it comes to making so many clothing options actually work!

    I smiled when you mentioned blue for a boy and pink for a girl - my favourite colour has always been blue, though I also loved taupe and now I’m gravitating towards grass green as I would describe it. I always loved long dresses and skirts though as a child I never had any. I seem to feel the cold more than some, so dresses are strictly for warm weather but I love them. The swooshier the better. Comfy jeans are my go-to though
    When you said you can find what you’re looking for because it exists somewhere!!! Oh wow! I bought some things even recently that I now realise were a compromise. Because I didn’t think I would get what I’m really looking for. Then ended up seeing the item later. Perhaps a bit more expensive, but closer to my preferred look. Yet I had already spent the money. I’m still learning

      @@PriskaJordan I have been learning and my style has definitely improved. I’ve certainly acquired more basics so many things that were bought because of an instant ‘love that’ moment and had then hung abandoned in my closet now had items they could be paired with. I guess I’m still on a learning journey. I think I heard Alyssa Beltempo mention the concept before of choosing three words to describe your style and you just reinforced it. You learned from it. I guess I didn’t. Or maybe I needed another piece of the puzzle - learning to let go and pass something up if there’s a question in my mind about it. My biggest regret is getting a leather jacket on sale that is perhaps not the most versatile colour but also not very forgiving if my stomach bloats Perhaps this was not the best choice
      Guess I am a little miffed with myself

    • @PriskaJordan
      @PriskaJordan  Рік тому +1

      If I had a dollar for every time I was miffed with my purchases... I could buy us both new leather jackets. 😂 Alyssa is the first person I learned that from, too, and I trusted her because she truly embodies her style well. But hey, it took me an entire year of making style videos to figure out my words. I started with 10 -- TEN!! -- and slowly reduced. But it also showed me that my words last through all the seasons, which has its advantages. Just keep working at it until you feel settled for a bit in your descriptors. And if that approach doesn't end up working for you, try something else! It's guidance, not rules, right? 😉
