- Ciao everyone! Today I'm sharing 3 style risks anyone can take. Modify these style tips as you see fit to change your style without buying anything new.
On this channel, I share #slowfashion and #sustainablefashion tips that center around how to #shopyourcloset, and restyling pieces you already own. I also spotlight brands that I believe in every now and then. I believe in #creativityoverconsumption, and that we all have the power to be conscious consumers.
Slow fashion looks different for everyone, and I'm so grateful you share this space with me!

At the age of 66, I am allowing myself to be risky by showing a bit more skin. I am so comfortable now with unbuttoning that one extra button. I am also finding that v-neck tops and cardigans are better suited for me. I must try to mix some unexpected prints and/or colors. Thanks for this video, Alyssa. You are so creative when it comes to fashion.
Yes!! Love this Diane! Thank you for the kind words !
Great to hear a designer who is environmentally conscious, emphasizing creativity rather than just urging everyone to buy more. Thank you!
happy you enjoy it!
The burgundy skirt with bright red blouse looks phenomenal! Love the tip on colour combos, what a great way to mix up things you already have!
Thank you for watching! xx
Great suggestions, as always! I took a risk when I bought a pair of vegan leather pants. I was super nervous the first time I wore them, but I have gotten multiple compliments every time. Every time! Sometimes I pair them with a feminine blouse, sometimes with a top in a bright color. I love them 😊
Have fun styling those Tamara xx
I like the 2:2 "different styles" approach. Otherwise, if only 1 piece is from a contrasting style, it looks as if one didn't have that specific item to "match" the others. For example, a long silk gown, sparkly earrings, evening clutch, full makeup, hair in an updo...and white trainers. It would look as if one forgot to pack shoes for the outfit!
Oh I’m laughing.. yes you’re spot on.
Greetings from Sibenik! I visited yesterday VINTAGE LOVE boutique and even bought a purse there 🙂. Sibenik is my favorite place in Croatia as far. ❤
OMG! Isn't it the best!? Hope you said hi to Maza for me :) Sibenik is a special place for sure. Thanks for sharing xx
I work for the school system and see a lot of “I don’t care” in the way my colleagues dress.
I love and enjoy fashion and show it daily for my students. The way I present myself to the children shows that I care enough to make an effort for them. I hope in some way to help them put their best foot forward towards the world now and in the future.
I was a teacher and always felt the way I dressed did impact the way I was treated. It probably had a great deal to do with my attitude that inspired me to dress with care, but was unaware of this component when I started teaching.
I had a high school Spanish teacher who dressed very stylishly. I appreciated the effort that she made for us!
I love mixing prints! Fashion should be fun and creative, within our comfort zones.
Thank you so much Alyssa! I love the tip about a slit in the front of a skirt! The midi length that's sooooo ubiquitous right now is a challenging one for me. I'm a petite and having the skirt hang down to mid calf, for example, makes my legs look shorter than they are.... but I just tried my one midi skirt backwards with the slit in the front - and woww! It opens up a peek at my legs which somehow avoids the no-leg look of other midis I've tried.
omg YES! So glad you tried that and its working for you!
❤Love this! You’re spot on about taking risks is a creative process and I love the message tying it to slow fashion and combating boredom in your wardrobe. I’d ❤ another video about combining different styles in the same outfit.
thanks Christina :) Have fun shopping your closet xx
Yeah, I love analogous colors together! Great video!
This is just what I needed! I have done some of these, but not in the same ways you shared. I can use what I have, have some fun, and look interesting. Would love a Part 2
awesome:) Thank you for sharing Kathy, enjoy shopping your closet! Good to know you're into a part 2! xx
the first two tips...yeah, too young for me (you knew i would say that, right? lol) the last bits though. things i can really sink my teeth in to. analogous colors and mixing prints is something i will play with this season! thanks for another great video. ps i made my trip to the pacific nw from sw fla with my one small bag. used lots of your hints. used purple and green with some beige as my pallette. yep. unexpected. some stuff worked, but some i did not have the proportions correct even though the colors worked togther. used lots of your styling hacks to feel comfy if not really looking spot on. did get lots of complements, especially in san francisco, on my "style". i owe it to you! you CAN teach an old lady new tricks and she WILL look chic without spending any money!
Yes!! I LOVE hearing this - you're really embracing your style it sounds like and I'm so here for it. Thank you for sharing xx
I appreciate your reminder about creativity. I try out new outfits on stay at home days to see how I feel in them. Sometimes it's a win, but if not, I didn't feel uncomfortable in public.
I do this too!
@@alamedadancepartyrecently at home, I wore a floral knee length dress with faux leather leggings. My daughter noticed and liked the matte look of the leggings. My husband noticed later but didn't like to touch the texture of them. I've worn the leggings before in the winter and no one noticed. Made me feel that the outfit was a fail. I prefer when people say something generic like, you look nice. When they get critical, it makes me rethink my look. I'm not dressing to please them, its just an indication that it was a mismatch. When I looked in the mirror at the end of the day, I realized that the idea in my mind wasn't what the outfit actually looks like. I was glad that I didn't wear it outside the house
I so love that you tried it though. I’m still working on that one. 👍💕
@@karelmillard9854 thank you! Sometimes I try something new in the morning and in just a few hours, I decide it's not working. Then I change into something tried and true at that point. In my heart, I am an outfit repeater lol
Fresh color combos👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. This tip alone helps me to almost double the fashion capacity of my closet!
For each video I think to myself : gosh she seams love his work and how creativity is your important to you…I try being inspiring by you dynamism. I took weight since last year and feel a bit « mal à l’aise » to buy new cloths because the last summer cloths doesn’t fit any more. I try to buy minimum of cloths that matching together and try to adapt my style with this rough reality to accept ( weight) …but you help me to keep my style alive even I can’t wear all the cloths I would like…I think I have less choices to be creative obsessed by hiding that part of the body that I don’t like. I think it’s limiting the creativity and the risk I could take …but anyway thank’s to be there inspiring me/us ❤️ I am very happy for you new collaboration with signe and Christina you are my best UA-camrs and it was fun in your podcast to listen of where each of you come from in your personal and professionaly journey. Love it
Christiane! I love hearing from you :) You have so much style and class - I am so happy to hear you continue to be creative and take risks with what you have. Merci d'etre ici et pour ecouté le podcast avec Signe et Christina :)
Another great video with amazing advice on how to boost our creativity using what we already have in our closet. I have tried print mixing and I was surprised to see how much fun it was and even more surprised when I received compliments from my coworkers. Thanks for getting me out of my fashion rut! ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing , I’m struggling with mixing my classic basics with bohemian style , I’m more classic in the winter and evolve depending on my activities , I’m mostly camping and visiting garden stores or playing with grandchildren , but love bohemian I feel like I’m wearing art especially embroidered beaded and tie dyed etc,this also goes for those individually handcrafted jewelry , I kinda just don’t want to look like a costume .
Yes! Love hearing this Sandra! xx
@@Nini51963 I imagine a blanket scarf in a colourful geometric pattern or am afghan (shearling lining/ fur trimmed) coat could add some boho touches to your winter wear? Or a fun accessory, like a western buckle closure belt or leather boots?
I think if you're wearing it with a classic background (like boho accessories + classic clothes) will stop it looking too costumey, as will varying the textures (e.g. not suede boots over a suede jumpsuit & suede waistcoat, lol).
I really like your personality and your style and the way you explain things.
Loved these ideas. Also, I love having my 3 favorite youtubers on one podcast. Looking forward to Tuesday's episode.
Yes, it was a brilliant podcast.
YAY!! Thank you so much for your support! xx
Alyssa, first off congratulations on almost 250k subscribers! Your channel is growing so fast!! Second, could you do a video on how to style a polo shirt? I have them for work and I feel frumpy when wearing them with jeans regardless of my accessories. I would love your perspective and recommendations❤️
do you mean a polo neck or a classic polo shirt? Sorry - different cultures use different terms!
I don’t know where I heard this, but at 72, I embrace this attitude- Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.
Yes I love a little razzle dazzle to my wardrobe
I love to play with colors and incorporate bit unexpected mixtures
Love the black midi skirt and denim shirt look
I love the way you explain things, making us so confident to try. Thanks a lot! 🌹
Love this video! I just realized the summer stuff I wore last year won’t work for me this year 🙄 this is just what I needed to see - thank you Alyssa!!!
Happy to help!
Hello!!! RIGHT on for style comfort and confidence. Whow. This is cutting edge. Seems reasonable but not what peeps think to do to be their own stylish and reasonable. I’m thinking this is a Canuck thing… ❤️🇨🇦❤️
You've given me homework, and I can't wait to try them out ❤
Thanks, Alyssa, for this video! I'm finding it just after losing 25 lbs, and trying to find my balance in maintaining my goal weight. I'm feeling a little thrill in fitting into clothes I haven't seen in some time, and ready for some new looks. ✨️
Great tips, Alyssa. Thanks!
Love your approach to fashion. I love my clothes and some of them are with me from highschool times😂 just can get rid of them😅 but thanks to your ideas i feel more comfortable than ever wearing them❤
Love love your style formulas! thanks again
Loving all the suggestions. Mixing prints is my favourite one. And idea-looks you chose were perfect.❤
Thx for the video Alyssa xx
Lovely video, Alyssa. I especially like the reminder of mixing patterns and prints as my natural inclination is to put a pattern or print with a neutral. But now you've got me thinking that I have a blue polka dot summer skirt and I'm going to see how it looks if I put it with a classic blue and white breton t-shirt, so thank you for the inspiration!!
Sounds like so much fun - enjoy shopping your closet xx
I bet it looked great!
Flex your creativity muscle! Love that! Thank you!
I specially love the suggestions on mixing colours, patterns and styles - I've always shied away from these three ideas but now I can see that they are some really creative possibilities here for me. Thank you.
Balance out the "RISKY" outfit with the go-to pieces... Molto Grazie, Alyssa! It works for me!
Just recently found your videos and they're so helpful, alyssa! i struggle with buying clothes so much and end up buying the same tshirts so no variety in my wardrobe...
Loved this! xo
Oh yes ! Very good ideas! Il like your creativity. You keep always class. Bravo
Great tips! Thank you!! ❤
Thank you! this explanation is so concise, and your delivery is lovely⭐️
Favorite style teacher of all time!
I really loved the very last tip. Two & two, I will try that. ❤
Context for me also counts there are some situations I will take a risk and others I wont. Maybe if I was more evolved it wouldn’t matter but at 60 I figure this is part of me I am happy to accommodate. Always love your vids.
SO TRUE. Thanks for sharing xx
Great tips, great timing for me! Bookmarked. Thanks!
Love this idea! You always get me excited about exploring more ways to wear my closet! Thank you for all of the content and now I'm going to try on my pink linen wide-leg pants with a bright orangey-red hand-knit sweater! Ciao!
Thanks Alyssa! Looking great in that pastel turquoise sweater with the cami! Lovely color on you. I especially like 2 and 1. Color and print is something I need to consider. That will take some homework. I also need to really understand how to wear blazers in a less fussy way with jeans or long shorts or whatever. They could be cute I I understood it better. Thanks for all you do! Xo Joanne
Homework can be fun:) So glad you brought up the blazer - i'm going to tackle this one. xx
I want more of this!
I love the idea of mixing prints, it is something I would like to try out as I didn’t know how to do it, until you mentioned it :)
❤ Tip on 2/2 formulae with outfits. Gives a fresh approach when deciding how to put together my wardrobe....♥️
What a great topic! I’m going to try to think about work showing more skin. I’m old, but you’ve given me some ideas.
Love your style inspiration...I am going to work on the skin option...love colour risks thats my go to. Patterns are a little trickier!
😊Hi Suzette: Definitely more interested in giving a peek-a-boo glimpse of legs〰️esp. since I favor flats & tea length skirts. Need something to mitigate those two things.
👌Like how a split tempts others to 👁👁 imagine how your limbs continue on up ⬆️ underneath all the fabric. Ultimately, leaving the impression you're taller than reality.
Now, on the 👀look out for nude flats that will sell the illusion my legs continue down ⬇️ from the hem of my skirt down to infinity ♾️ & beyond.
Feel like an idiot😬 to never once considered putting on a skirt backwards for a rear split. 😉Makes me think of all the years I gave away perfectly great tops, sweaters, & dresses w/a V-neck bcos of cleavage🥺. Could've turned it around🔁, & shown off a bit of my back instead🤣.
🤍Love pattern, but weird about wearing it too. Tend to deal better w/a print on a skirt or pant ⬇️. Although there have been a dozen or so instances in my life where I could wear 'em on top⬆️. Usually pattern works best for me in smaller doses🤏 like on waistcoat or scarf🧣.

I love your videos Alyssa
Great video!! Alyssa please leave the links on top as they are not showing on my end. ❤
I love this! I have been working on my style and i have realised that showing a little skin makes me feel more more sexy and edgy and more me. I have pinned images lately with a carigan with a lace bralette poking out the front. I also love my sweater off the shoulder, a very small amount of midrif ie a highwaisted maxi skirt with a looser cropped cardigan or a baby tee showing a small amount of belly.
oral jeans matches with my navy striped T shirt and It works!
Nice and interesting vidéo. i just wanted to say that the mixture of prints comes across as a total fashion mistake in Paris. We are more minimalist in everyday life and don!t like clownish outfits. Thanks again for all you work.
❤❤❤
My problem with color is not that I am afraid of it, it's that I just love my neutrals 😂 black; white, gray, blue. Red if I am feeling bold 😂
Cool
Alyssa - there's that purse again! Please share details on the purse on the rattan and leather shoulder bag (seen on the table at 4:15) Thanks!
I believe it’s the milo bag from Sezana, Alyssa did a collab with them recently and received some pieces, and this could be one of them… if so, I understand why, since been eyeing the blue one since the launched a few months aho 😂😊
yes! It is from Sezane:) seza.ne/Qh9NXWvFrW here you go! This is an affiliate link! xx
Hi Alyssa! Do you have any tips on how to find a good/the right seamstress or tailor?
honestly referral or word of mouth is the best ... and if you can't go that route I would use reviews on google and start with something simple like a pant hem
❤👍🏼
10:39 I would love to watch that video, but there is no link included or in the description. Could you be so nice to add it, please? Thank you in advance.
3 descriptors video?

Guessing it's this one...ua-cam.com/video/eb-BmiVqp-I/v-deo.html
🎉❤😊
How would you categorize the white top with gold buttons that you are wearing at 3:54? It is so versatile, I would love to find something like it!
I would call it a cardigan!
Thank you! It is so chic! I will add it to my list of items to eventually add to my closet!
Ok, where did you get that extra large mug?
ahhh they are Jasper Conran for wedgewood :)
Honestly, showing your bra isn’t classy at all… why do women want to show everyone they walk by their intimates and breasts? It’s very tacky.
😉Without a doubt, showing a bra can sometimes be quite tacky. In Alyssa's case, it can also be quite tantalizing & tasteful to glimpse a 👀peek-a-boo of a pretty bra (that doesn't reveal any more than a modern bikini top👙) on a beautiful & confident woman 🎉.
Although when it comes to baring a midriff, fit or not, I prefer the belly button to be concealed👍. Makes me think of pin-up girls & vamps from the 1940s. There's still a wholesomeness when it's covered.
Furthermore, I'm a big breasted woman who usually sticks with turtlenecks & crew necks. No matter how flattering a v-neck, deep round neck, or sweetheart neck〰️all these things tend to show off cleavage😳. That's something I heartily hate on myself. I am not 😲shocked or offended when anyone else does it. To each, her own.
⏳️As an extreme hourglass, I have made my reluctant peace with body-con &/or tailored tops that sculpt my curvy shape. Figured out early on that I can either look va-va-voom or fat & frumpy. Rarely are there any in betweens😂.
Although a clever topper layer (i.e., blazer, waistcoat, vest, gilet, shacket, etc.) can temper some of that feminine ✨️ glory & make it more tolerable for me.
All I know is that boxy tops add considerable bulk ↔️ around my middle. I can mitigate a boxy t-shirt or sweater by tucking, knotting, belting, cropping〰️ but all that won't completely eliminate the added visual weight 🪨.
Nowadays, I'm tickled to wear a whimsical graphic tee on occasion. I figure I'm giving lookee-loos a valid reason to 🧐stare at my breasts. While I am more modest in nature, I'm done being ashamed of them.
My heart breaks 💔 for all the women who have suffered breast cancer, including my 💗mother & close friends. Sometimes when my breasts strike me as difficult & intrusive, I quickly say a prayer of gratitude to have my health ⚕️.

Showing underwear is a no for me
Alyssaaaaaa❤
ib Spanish, please🎉
I was wondering how you define a mistake. You say at the beginning 'even if you make a mistake, that's OK.' What makes a (fashion) choice a mistake?
@@Dracarys.. I like your thinking. I was leaning more towards some objective fashion mistake. Rather than a personal mistake that means you feel uncomfortable.
@@Dracarys.. Yeah, I agree with that. Or if the outfit isn't fit for purpose in some way, e.g. meant to keep you warm / cool but it didn't.
🙋♀️ Agree with the others here. A Fashion Fail can be a result of objective truth &/or subjective reality.
Like a proverbial magpie attracted to bling, shine, color, pattern🌹, details, different aesthetics esp. w/a decided masculine or feminine bent, etc.〰️but actually on me any one of these things can all easily put me in a tailspin💥.
In general, I finally came to the conclusion I'm more of a minimalist who feels empowered with my palette of dark neutrals. ❤Do love color & some prints, but it 💯% has to make sense for my insane idiosyncrasies, body type, climate, lifestyle, & wardrobe.
🤔Take a light neutral tonal palette for example〰️mixing an ivory or creamy off-white w/a true white〰️can look lovely on a model or in media. In theory, it works. In reality, I put on such a combo & will instantly feel frumpy & 2nd-hand rather than elegant & elevated😔.
Likewise〰️however 🥰charming & cohesive〰️a Print Clash would equally put me right into clown 🤡 town 🎪.
🖤Black & Tan/Camel/Khaki🤎 can be a such a striking combo, but I can only tolerate the latter on some specific bottoms ⬇️. Learned this by trial & lots of error😳. Love a deep chocolate brown🍫〰️& can do it from head to toe ↕️〰️but almost anything in the beige family can 🦇suck the lifeblood🩸from my countenance & spirit🤣.
🌈 Color can give me such a visceral reaction〰️inspire such joy🤗 & horror😱. Black instantly invigorates⚡️me, while beige tones feed my frump factor🤣. Perfect to pick an edgy khaki in a cargo pant, but a classic chino or even tweed trouser leans too stale & stodgy😖.
📖 Once upon a time in the 90s, I was mortifed to arrive at work in an all navy ensemble w/black shoes😂. Truthfully, no one else noticed or cared, but it was an uncomfortable discovery for me😬.
😁Now, I can plainly see how handsome these two colors can be together. Plus, I learned in subsequent seasons that navy shoes can sometimes be impossible to find🙄. 👩🏫Lesson: buy the 👠colors you love when they're hot🔥!
😉Of course, applying Alyssa's 2:2 Rule here could turn color from looking like a random error into a deliberate & more balanced style choice👍. (Although I find that color can also be challenging bcos of undertone & intensity😑.) Sometimes the 🔑key to it all is experimentation.
😊Happy Alyssa gives us permission to play with our clothes.

@@Dracarys.. bingo!
GREAT Q. I don't think objective mistakes exist - people can wear whatever they feel good in. It's a mistake if you didn't feel amazing in it or it didn't suit your style/you. I hope this makes sense! xx
Love 99% of the tips.....never been a fan of mixing prints....too crazy bag-lady....just my opinion.
Sometimes I like to watch your videos and I most appreciate your tips. But I "hate" (not really seriously ;)) it, when you (anyone) walk around and speak with a cup of anything in your hand. It's to make us feel cozy, I know, but I find it just... annoying 🤨. Sorry... 😉
Poloneck and evening shorts and high heels….just saying
These are all no brainer suggestions, and your holding a coffee mug throughout doesn't make you appear any more the expert. Get over yourself.
Woah that was rude for no reason. If these were obvious for you, then good for you. But it's arrogant for you to assume that it's not helpful for anyone else... And extra foolish considering the number of grateful commenters on this video.
@@Kmmc2011 The foolish one is you, puffed up by the average reader who is at a sixth grade reading level. Like I said, "get over yourself." Only stuck up idiots spin constructive criticism into the one sharing it as rude.
Thanks for reminder on juxtaposition. 😇 I like to add unusual cuff bracelets.
