Just want to say that neutrals can mean different colors for different people. I have made the mistake of investing in black clothing and not understanding that black was not the best color for me. So don't buy black and white just because they are neutrals, instead try to find your own simple neutral palette. This takes time but is sooo worth it, and will still give that wardrobe where everything can be worn together. It could also be as simple as going for grey instead of black or beige instead of white.
Yes yes yes!!! I think Bethany has a very neutral skin tone, so pretty much every neutral looks good on her. I have very cool undertones, so tan, beige, and cream really wash me out and make me look awful. Gold jewelry also doesn't look good with my skin. Sticking with black, white (some off-white if it isn't too yellowy), gray, and navy for my neutrals looks the best on me. If I want to incorporate warmer hues, I wear it on my bottom half, so it isn't near my face. For example, I would wear a brown or tan skirt with a white blouse. This helps to keep some variety in my wardrobe and to warm up the overall outfit.
@@bytheivy Me too! It's so frustrating. But I find that more shops, especially eco, or climate friendlier brand, carry more earthy tones nowadays, also second hand (online) has a wider selection of colours for basic items. But I guess that it could be a good thing that I find my preferred colours less often, because I can rarely shop and hey that's good for everyone 😅
May i know how you found your neutral colors?
@@freshiaquanico3126 type in google 'how to find skintone undertone colors'
@@freshiaquanico3126 I would say a lot of trial and error. Just try different "neutral" colours, white, off-white, beige, all greys (warm and cold, light and dark), black, brown and perhaps navy blue etc. Pick what you look best in (according to you) and that you like. I find that the warm/cold undertone is not always good to work with, the skintone can be neutral and really it's only really adapted to light skin tones.
I think my biggest “adult” fashion move was taking better care of my clothing. I used to be the WORST about ironing, but it makes such a tremendous difference. Lint rolling, ironing, removing balled up bits on clothing, and deep cleaning shoes really make even lower end and thrifted pieces look intentional.
This is so true! During my younger years, I don't have the money to buy high end shoes so I end up buying cheap ones, but I clean them religiously and they last me years. So yes, taking good care of your items is also an integral part of ensuring they give you your money's worth.
the essentials start at 4:30
Thanks
Thanks.
Tiel Noembreux thank you
Thx dear.. 4 saving my tym😄
thanks
for me the biggest thing that has made a difference for me is checking the fabric of something before i buy it. i find that when i buy 100% fabrics (100% cotton, 100% linen, silk, etc) i have i wear the pieces more often and they hold up better over time. also making a moodboard and wish list helps me shop more intentionally. our world has made us obsessed with newness and the latest thing. now i hold out for the perfect thing instead of settling for something that doesn't check all the boxes
Emily Ziller v helpful comment. How and where do you create moodboard
@@rilu8337 ah i see, thankyou :)
Synthetic mixed fabrics often look tacky.
Random but.. Imagine if she sang. She would sound angelic omg
I don't worry about colors going out of trend because I pick the ones that suit my skin tone and they are usually autumnal or shades of blue that complement brown earthy tones, so they are not hard to coordinate.
People tend to think neutrals are either black, white or grey. You need to keep you skin's undertone in mind when you buy neutral type of clothes. Its hard to find warm, deep neutrals for warmer skin tones. Burnt orange, tan, golden camel (autumn colours in general) look fantastic with warm undertone. People with cooler undertone look great with light blue, lilac and other pastel colours.
Hi, Bethany. Could you please make a video about comfortable outfits for university/graduate students? As someone who is also 5’1, I find it difficult to style clothing and a backpack without looking like a high schooler. See you in your next video!
Love this idea!!!!
So true!
Check out Matt and Nat vegan leather bags! I find them useful when bringing many things with me during a commute and also is easy to dress up/down.
@@mirabellewang they are perfect and will really serve you for a very long time.
Leather or faux Tote bag that fits your laptop
Can you do a video showing everything in your closet now? Love these tips!
I would love to see this as well!
@@YousNora I would too!
Great idea
M dying to see that
Yessss please
The main problem is that people don’t actually know how to recognize quality, and brands are taking advantage of that. I have no problem investing in quality pieces, but I won’t pay $500 for an item that is worth $200 and similarly when I go into stores to feel the fabric and look at the stitching and finishing I find $300 pieces that are worth maybe $50. I’ve been looking for over a year for trousers (a slim, 30” inseam pair and a wide leg pair, high-waisted) and I have yet to find anything of quality priced below $600. I can’t justify spending $600 on a piece of clothing, and there are no brands subsidizing my purchases or giving me things for promoting them. Love your approach though; it’s definitely on point and good advice!
sovrappensiero1 I know im late to the party and I hope you found some! But why not get some custom made? It will be cheaper than forking out $600
that is kind of an issue that I encoutered. I have decided to invest in quality pieces, so I went to the brands that are assimilated with quality. One was a chain store, second was a small designer concept boutique. Both pieces, very expensive for me, turned out to be terrible quality, very quickly they lost shape and started to look just very worn out. So now I have problems woth investing, because it seems like I m just paying more for the same quality and I know it is possible to find some really well made stuff, I just dont know how and where. Thats hoq adulting has been going for me.
I was looking for a really good pair of wide leg trousers too. I found one from Vince for about $260. It's more than I would usually spend but i'm trying to build my wardrobe with good quality items that I love.
This is a big reason I shop mostly second hand: 1) the quality of clothing being made currently is just not what it used to be, so many shortcuts are taken in production. 2) if clothing makes it to a secondhand store and still looks good/hold up that means it has withstood the test of time and will hopefully continue to age well!
sovrappensiero1
Try Massimo Dutti it has good quality and price is reasonable.
i have mixed feelings about classic pieces that are timeless. i actually don't think many pieces are timeless, they can be marked by the time period they were created. nothing wrong with that. instead, i strive for finding pieces i reach for over and over again, which isn't necessarily a LBD or white button down. building a color scheme is super helpful and finding fabrics that are good quality - helps me build a good wardrobe for me.
Right, it can take a while, but it helps to figure out what works for your body type if LBDs and button downs aren't your thing.
Absolutely. Over the past 100 years fashion has changed quite a bit. I wear what I think is beautiful
This is so helpful. I am currently losing weight, so I don't want to invest in more expensive, high quality clothing until I am at my goal weight. However, I can invest in better jewelry, shoes, purses, and lingerie. I can also look for better quality neutral pieces even if they are lower-end as I start buying my "in between" clothes.
I used to impulse buy EVERYTHING. Watching your videos and following you along on your style journey has helped calmed my spastic style into something that’s tailored to who I am and what I want to present to the world. Thank you 💛 xo!
💛💛💛

Looking forward to hearing more of these Adulting 101 videos. Your perspective on fashion completely has changed mine. It's interesting to hear you say that you didn't really care about fashion...before I started watching your videos, I didn't either, but now I love it. You've taught me that it's not JUST how the clothes make me look, but how they make me feel!
Totally, Malina! so much truth to that
Ah the purse!! A huge statement! I believe it with all my heart! And yes if you walk into a meeting " dressed to impress " you command attention and I stand by that 100%!
As a non-petite, I really appreciate your more general videos. Really like your aesthetic and mannerisms.
Thank you for all these amazing tips! As a broke college student it really is reassuring to think of neutrals as timeless and chic instead of 'boring' like most people my age consider :)
Yes they are! I have loved basics even when I was younger (think high school and college), and a lot of people think its boring, but it meant more value for my money, and if I wanted to add some striking pieces, I thrift! I am now in my early 30s and I still use many pieces that I had years ago. Invest your money on pieces that are basic but versatile. :) Enjoy college!
@@heyheydanidani thank you so much! Minimalism is always in vogue ✨
Many years ago, I heard someone say that you should have one unique quality piece of jewelry that you can wear with everything. So for example, a necklace or a bracelet you can wear with everything, that is high-quality and has visual interest. I inherited a silver medallion from my mother, so I asked my husband to buy me a good quality long silver chain for the medallion for Christmas. He went to a good jewelry store and got something that was heavy enough that it wouldn’t break if it caught on something. It was all I got for Christmas, but it was perfect, and 20 years later, I’m still happy with it! For many many years, that was what I wore with almost every outfit. Sometimes I added a shorter silver necklace around my neck before it was really the style, just because I liked the shorter pieces as well. I always got compliments, and it felt like the outfit was finished with that medallion- it had been a gift from my father to my mother and both of them have been gone for many years. Most of my jewelry was silver at that time. For our anniversary last year, my husband splurged and bought me a beautiful high-quality 16 inch gold chain that will not break if it catches on my finger. I tend to be hard on jewelry. I have a teardrop pearl that was gifted to me by an elderly neighbor woman. So I wear that necklace with the pearl with almost everything unless I’m wearing silver. The teardrop on the pearl is unique. And the necklace itself reminds me of my husband each day as I put it on. I can layer it with other necklaces or just wear it alone, but it elevates the simple pieces in my wardrobe and gives me a finished and polished look. If you’re just starting out, I agree with Bethany. Get ONE piece that goes with everything and is high-quality.
When I first heard the advice, I remembered a really good friend of mine who always wore a pendant she had gotten at an art show that had a funky looking cat on it and was brass. It was obviously beautiful, unique, and expensive, and we never minded that it completed most of her outfits. It represented her and her off-beat taste. That prompted me to ask for the silver chain for the pendant. I also have some just for fun inexpensive things I wear very occasionally, but I strongly recommend getting a couple of higher-quality classics or making something you inherited actually into something that works for you!
This! So helpful. I have had same issues with people not taking me seriously, because of size and how young my face looks.
You're such a wholesome person.
I'm glad to have stumbled on your videos.
A lot of people around me always tell me to take coloured clothes, but I never felt really good in those pieces, I love seeing neutral beautiful outfits, even though everyone always tell me that they are annoying. They're not! Thanks to you I gained confidence and I'll do my best in wearing and assembling those pieces and show them :) I don't have a big budget, but I like the idea of building a closet, and you gave really good advices! I love listening your videos, thank you!
You got my attention because you focus on Petite size and gradually I notice you are very different from other fashion Vbloggers with your simplicity style and value ... keep up the good work and I am so happy to find you:-)
Hugs
If you have pink tones to your skin, like me with golden (what use to be strawberry blond hair ) navy is my neutral, white and pale soft pink . I don’t put black close to my face in solid colors but will use it in skirts and pants . I’ve tried all colors and certain green works too . She has so many excellent tips and wise advice to use when shopping , and I relate well . Thank you Bethany .
I love videos like this as I use them as a guideline when I’m thrifting to find quality pieces that are affordable.
Thank you for this video podcast Bethany! We love to hear you being so chatty and passionate about what you're talking about too, so it's a win-win I guess ❤✨
I love your tips AND your voice omg they way it tinkles when you laugh :(( After watching some of your videos, I have discovered what I've been doing wrong all these years about fashion and what I can do now to change that. You're amazing ❤️
I used to see ur videos 1and1/2 years back....now u have grown so much in a brilliant way...I can't tell u how much I appreciate u.👏👏👏
The biggest thing that has made a difference for me is having the color palette for my wardrobe, it makes everything easier to not get distracted by other colours that not working for me, also checking the stitching and the fabric before you buy it helps a lot. Focusing on certain style also do the trick.
Did you use any particular technique to narrow down your colors? How did you decide?
Im a nanny and i alwayysss dress to impress the parents! 💕💕💕 ppl think i work in a business casual office and i love it
Awesome! It's something that is easy to overlook but so important for gaining that trust and respect. 💕
sara bruno what do you wear to work? Would love ideas ❤️
Loved this, Bethany! It was a relaxing accompaniment as I rested during my children’s nap time. 😊
I'm not even petite but i watch your videos religiously. Your humour is really cute 😍
Go for classics! I can't agree more with everything that you say and I apply the same principles when I buy my clothes and accessories. Thank you for sharing these!
I love your voice, how you express your thoughts, how you think, love your style and elegance. Love your videos. ❤️
Yes! Shout out to Rachel!!! Windblown is my faaavorite! I loved your tips in this. Finding personal style is so hard, especially as a young woman trying to assert herself in the work place. My partner and I joke that we’ll have “made it” in adult world when I can afford a pair of Jesse Kamm pants😂 Thanks for another great video!
Girl your voice is so soothing! I love to just play your video while I'm working
I loved every advice! Thank you for putting this out there.
I do see the value in timeless basics too (I will actually start to work for a fashion brand whose philosophy that is to a tee), but I also really like 'fun' pieces with unusual cuts or patterns like flowers or gingham. I find that those pieces can really add interest and freshness to an (otherwise simple) outfit.
Your voice is so sweet... I enjoy your discussion always if it is long in video!
I'm a 5'0 and I have the same body shape as you so, when I watched your first video I just realized that I needed to abandon my everyday combo all star and floral skirts/blouses. THANK U
I'm also 5'1" and love your videos! Thank you so much for a starting point on how to change my wardrobe (it's about time- I'm 25). I really want to look my age and have trouble being short and not curvy so hopefully investing in pieces like these help me be more adult-like.
I really appreciate your wardrobe curating tips. I also live the editing and style of these videos.
Hey bethany 🌟 i just want to thank you again for your work. I had my first workday at my new workplace yesterday and i followed your style tips and i felt so confident and my whole posture and the way i carried myself changed so much. Thank you!
Whoooa! I am really learning! Thanks Bethany for making these videos.. You are a total chic!
My biggest take away is looking at my style, "What are the ones that have biggest return?"
I am excited, you make adulting more easier than I thought ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Had a funny thought @ 21:55...if you wore jeans, t-shirt, flip-flops and then carried a really nice purse...it would either be "perfectly acceptable," or look like you stole the purse :-)) P.S. Always LOVE your videos!! and your style!!
It's been a while since I saw this video, I tried updating my closet but I have a hard time finding out my own style, I'm wearing different clothes all week, I can be all black and the next day I'm rainbowy and then vintage, "dark academy" vibes. I started investing into neutral colors like beiges, off white (I'm olive and cool) and blueish lavander periwinkle tones. I do have more options now though, which I appreciate.
Polyester can be wearable too, if the cut suits you well, but I prefer cotton, silk and viscose, the fluidity is insane.
Hello Bethany. This is commonly known knowledge to well-dressed women but maybe to a much younger audience this will be ‘new’ material. You did steer me toward Nisolo. ❤️ I have the mules and black boots. Love them. I was hoping you’d mention your Nisolo black purse. It’s so simple and classic: more so than the Polene purses (INMO). Your delivery is so smooth. Good job. I still prefer your regular you-tubes where you do all the try-on and I appreciate your efforts and classic style.
I love your videos, your voice is so relaxing 💕
DO A CLOSET TOURRR 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It’s funny how these are exactly the same comments my mum used to make, but I just didn’t want to listen as a teenager. But now in my 20s I hope I’m older and wiser to take good advice when it is offered..
I follow you a while ago, I noticed the beautiful sets of clothes that you had and here I am. I'm from Chile an I love listening to you. I thank you for all the tips and advices, they have been great.
I love you Bethany, Thank you for making this video.
What a sweetheart you are. Thanks for making these videos for us. You are just the freshest breath of air and I appreciate you.
This was great! Thank you. I love your style and advice
Hi Bethany, I just want to let you know that this video has been lovely to listen to as I do a bit of pampering! 💞
Just love your voice and ideas! It is so soothing and calm... also, what is your mic! It is amazing!
I've started transitioning my closet to Neutral colours, and I've been getting a lot of compliments on how put together I look. Thank you for teaching me how to get started. Will definitely keep learning! (^v^)

I can sleep to her speaking... So serene and calming and soothing.. 😇😴
You have such great tips in your videos! I think this is the most helpful fashion/style channel I've found on UA-cam.
Loved it!!!!
I always look forward to watching your videos and I have been listening to the podcasts when I am at the airport or so... I absolutely adore your style!
wow much love, Michelle! 🤗
Wonderful video. Helped to explain why I felt I couldn’t afford all your beautiful looks. I am still hesitant about spending that much on some clothing items. How do you care for your clothes? Can you do a video on how you wash certain types (silk, denim, skirts, etc.)? Also, I prefer natural fibers for my undergarments, especially in the summer. Do you have any recommendations for this? I know Everlane is one.
Do u get mad? Lol u sound so angelic and never get angry! Im 5'4 and just loving your videos. Learning so much. Thanks
Thank you for the inspiration! ❤️
And those pink sweater you were talking about:) I have the same story:)
Love your style and tips!!!

Loved this podcast.It was just soothing.Happy holidays everyone.
hi, thank you for all those tips! myself as an architect really love about quality of materials, most of time I just gave up on styling with all black to office like everyone else. I do like the idea about additional accessories . :)
have you ever tried Uniqlo and Muji items? I bought some of their basics like linen dress and linen shirts they are pretty easy to care and very affordable. I had them for over 5 years and still in very good condition.
I appreciate this video so much! Thank you kindly!! Very very informative and detailed.. 👍🏽🌟
Bethany, i love your voice tone. i feel like listening a story. Soothing and relaxed vibe.

I finally tried the nippies because I saw you talk about it and totally glad I tried it out. I used to wear the disposable ones and the nippies are so much better. I was concerned that it wouldn’t stay on because I’m only a 32C but it was on all day without any issues. Thanks!
Glad they worked! I once tried a version from Target and it was so wrong haha 🙅
Love your tips!
