    I love your videos! It was really useful to try and pin down my style to three words and came up with: classic, comfortable, quality. I'm 80 next birthday but still love clothes and aim to look my best - much helped by your penetrating eye! I choose simple (classic) , well-made (quality) pieces that fit perfectly (comfort). You don't get tired of good stuff like you do of trash - some of my pieces are 30 + years old. I also like to add one stand out item to avoid looking boring - a beautiful scarf, a dramatic piece of jewellery, a lovely bag or pair of shoes.

      @@jacquelinea8224 I love Jean Muir - her business closed years ago after her death but her style was timeless; Jaeger - very well-made clothes; Max Mara - beautiful fabrics; TSE cashmere for ultra luxe sweaters. But you can find quality in lesser known brands too - and in thrift shops! There's an excellent book by Christa Weil called 'Second hand Chic' which tells you everything about quality and finish in good clothes. You can get a (second hand!) copy on abe books for a few pounds (or dollars).

Now I know how to combine 3 different styles into one personality. All this time I thought I had to choose one. A dormant part of my personality has blossomed! I never could figure it out on my own.

    I'm in my 60's, looking to refreshing my wardrobe at this time. The advice on this vlog post is very much on point, especially for younger women. When you're starting to build a look, remember to add pieces over time. A signature style will change but it should never be extreme, as classic's are always in fashion, trend will return but never in the same way it was previously presented.

I have my closet staples and want to reimagine outfits now that I have a disability and have embraced by grey hair.

      @@jacquelinea8224 thanks for asking Jacqueline. I was a big fan of neutrals ie navy, stone and grey with accents of plum, burgundy and green. I would accessorise with pops of colour in handbags. I decided to turn this around and make the colour my basics and the neutrals the accessory and I decided to try new colours like orange and to step outside my comfort prints of stripes and try eg an asymmetrical floral print. I work with children and young families so my clothes are comfortable and I wear flat shoes. I go for a youthful but not clownish appearance and I want to maintain a casual elegance. I keep the lines simple. (I’m currently in winter in the Southern Hemisphere.)

    I am somebody who adores clothes and the art of putting pieces together. It's so fun for me! I know my style, and yet I struggle to put words to it. I hear so many people use words like "chic", "classic", "minimal" etc. and honestly, I don't know the difference. If I were to describe my style without set terms, I would say that I love earth toned colors. I very much lean towards white, creams and different shades of brown, but also wear black often. I don't always add color to my wardrobe, but when I do, it's a settle or muted/earthy yellow, blue, green, red. My top two favorite materials to purchase my clothing in are 100% cotton and linen! I do have a few structured and/or fitted pieces that I enjoy and get good wear from, but I always like to have some sort of flow in the outfit, whether it's the whole outfit or just one element of it! I don't always wear jewelry, but maybe 2-3 times a week will pair a gold set of studs or mini hoop earings or a simple gold necklace with my outfits!

    At a time when I was really struggling with depression, I gave myself the gift of making my hands more beautiful. My nails are thin & constantly breaking & splitting. I decided (for better or worse) to use acrylic tips. I have 3 signature OPI colors which go with any color or outfit: Kyoto Pearl, Elegant & understated. Goes with absolutely everything. I use one coat. The frost give my nails extra shine. The look on my almond shaped nails is a gift I give myself every time I look at my hands. I have used it for years. Classic so it never goes out of style. Pale fine mica gold, also classic & compliments my jewelry. For holidays, I’m Not Really a Waitress, a deep red frost. One coat. Really! One coat.

    "Having your own sense of style" is a sentence I like. As the matter of fact, Ted Kennedy said at the eulogy for Jackie Kennedy: " no one, that we knew of, had a better sense of style than her". Now, I will never be like a Jackie Kennedy, even if tried ( never did) The closest I came is that as a little child I thought Jackie looks like my mom (not the other way around). I am a person always a little on the search of my style and that way, through the years, adapted just this style. Knowing I like a easy system, a little classic and comfortable.

    Every time I watch one of these videos, I want to purge my closet and only keep a capsule of things that are classic, polished, and carefree. But then I look at how I actually shop and dress and I’d say it’s more contemporary, casual, undone. Plus I predominantly shop vintage so my wardrobe is just full of “pieces.” So it’s a constant battle of what I think I want vs. What I actually do.

    Thank you for this, Alyssa. When you suggested starting small and shared some specific ideas of what small steps might look like, I realized I already have a few signature elements. The same perfume for over 35 years, because when you get so many compliments on it in your 20s and then across the years, you keep wearing it. And the same rings on my finger that mean something to me, but are also simple and classic. All that to say, I am finding it helpful to name those small things and know I’ve already been defining my signature style. Now I can keep going. My current pursuit is growing out my gray and finding the wash and wear, super easy but super stylish haircut that I’m going to wear for the rest of my life. 😘

    The Three Words guide is fantastic!! I used it recently when looking for a top. It helped me narrow down to 1 easy win! I just LOVE this top and my daughter lit up when she saw my choice. It's my version of a button down. I've tried the white button down and it just doesn't work for me, too crisp. So I found an 'artsy' one that is perfect, with 3/4 length sleeves! I'll have you know I tried on a LOT that day and things just didn't look right plus I was on my own. I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Then I reminded myself to think of my three words and bingo! Thank you for keeping things simple. It makes it easier when styling or getting to shop occasionally. I am 60 and I've decided I have a 'shape shifter' for a body, so finding my style has been challenging. I have figured out A line dresses and tunics with leggings works great for me. Now that my hair is totally gray I find bold colors & prints work best as well. Interestingly when I found my button down and walked it around the store to see how it felt, another customer remarked how good it looked. Confirmed how I felt. Thanks!

For me, that’s as simple as treating myself to warm, buttery banana bread & a coffee at home. In terms of "getting ready" for this time, I think about doing things like wearing my favourite, comfy loungewear (it’s really cold in Melbourne) and/or wearing my favourite lip oil that makes me feel lovely. Mine just happens to be Clarins. You don’t have to be retired. You don’t have to be going anywhere. You can still do simple, beautiful things with your day. All the best to you.

    Excellent, excellent advice as usual🥰 Your "uniform different occassions" point really blew my mind, because it is SO true for me! I love dark colours and over the last few years I've been adding more colour to my wardrobe - red and pink, light blue instead of navy, etc. After giving it a lot of thought, my three words are: comfortable, disco, classic. I don't know how else to describe my vibe other than 70s, but there you go.
    As a short, busty woman with child-bearing hips, it's always been a nightmare to shop, but I'm embracing my body type and have found that wrap dresses and boots are definitely a huge part of my signature style. Also, you'll pry my high-waisted skinny jeans out of my cold, dead hands, LOL!

    Ever since I stopped dying my hair I find that the color blue suits me better than any other color. I think this is the first step to my signature style!

    I love the uniform idea. It makes the look more cohesive and makes the style more personalized. I’m starting small on finding my signature style, appreciate your video 😊😊

    Thank you for another video! I've binged these for the past year and they're always delightful and insightful! I've tried the three-word-method before, but it never seemed to fit until you talked about the words as something to describe myself, not just my style. I've always thought my style is comfy, flowy and classic, but something seemed to be missing, because I like to mix things up quite often. Besides, the words can be conflicting too, as you said. So in the end I've settled on unpredictable, smart and comfy as my three words and I think I'm a step closer to my personal style. Thank you for helping me realise this!
    Another thing, I really love your "make new out of old"-series, it really encourages me to look at my wardrobe in new ways. Thank you!

    I definitely have a signature style, I have always dressed very similar, my purchases are only replacements! I still have clothes from university and I am 59. People think I buy vintage 😂😂 but is just my closet!

    Loved this. A few of my signature styles are my RBG low bun that I started wearing because of my wild hair’s response to the heat and humidity of the south, my minimal jewelry and big Sunnies. My style uniform has evolved over the years but always starts and ends with 3 pieces - a basic tee/tank, any bottom and a layering piece because I’m always cold. Cozy, simple, chic would be my 3 words. Thank you as always for the inspiration! ♥️

      I was ‘always cold’ & had my thyroid checked, it was hypo ( under active) always feeling cold, especially if others around you aren’t, is one of the symptoms of hypothyroidism.

    So helpful Alyssa! I like classic, but couldn’t figure out what didn’t resonate with me. I don’t like anything that is too polished or put together. Classic, Minimal, Artistic/Undone Last two are just a dash of both elements!

    I love wearing my Frye cowboy boots and have had them since 2015. I’ve had new soles and repairs completed several times so I am in the market for a new pair but taking my time. They are so me and many people comment on them.

    I wonder if I’ve compartmentalized multiple signature styles for much of my life: things I wore to work were dictated by dress codes and other people’s standards, versus things worn in my downtime when I can experiment more, highlight other aspects of myself that get less focus during the work week.

  • @hibazafran1765

    So I’ve been trialing my three words (sensual gravitas eclectic) BUT have had to tweak them based on my daily outfit formulas to actually reflect what I actually am drawn to. Now I’m playing with flowy (comfortable/sensual), elegant (gravitas) and…..? I’m thinking a nod to vintage rather than eclectic might be more accurate and fitting. It’s interesting how terms overlap yet do carry different connotations (your example of relaxed vs undone). Appreciate the welcoming words for those of us (back to ) grappling with style (post pandemic and major life and body changes). I feel like I have my 3 outfit formulas - And am using my three words to try and hone in on my own twist on things.

    • @AlyssaBeltempo

    Solids are my comfort zone as I feel messy in prints. The little things make the outfit…..rolling up sleeves or tucking the front of the blouse and keeping the back loose. I’ve always been a slow fashion kind of girl, buying quality pieces in natural fibers that breathe. Love the videos and love Sibenik as your backdrop - the Croatian coast line is magical.

  • @jimandjudyc48
    @jimandjudyc48 Рік тому +3

    If I'm in a hurry, or I just want to feel good in something without giving it much thought, I reach for black and white in my closet. Sometimes the white is on top; sometimes on the bottom, especially in summer when I love to wear white pants, but black and white is my "go-to."

  • @joywhitley3141

    i don't have a signature style...yet. i look in my closet and what an odd mish mash of "stuff". now, after watching your videos for awhile, i am able to take pieces and put them with things i might not have thought of and somehow....boom. looks great. for example, i put on a pair of black wide legged linen pants i have had for over 15 yrs, but forgot i had. lol. i paired that with a linen top embroidered around the neckline with very colorful little "people" that i got at a shop in mexico maybe 6 yrs ago. front tuck. black bag. black naot strappy slide. black and white fedora. all stuff years old. i got so many compliments on my "look". lol. all within my three words...minimal, classic, comfort. thanks so much. this stuff otherwise sits around gathering dust. merci!

    Always nice to share a bit of Sunday !orning with you wherever you may be!, Alyssa! Signature styles ... In the fall and winter I rely on sweater plus pants, jeans or skirts! Sweaters over dresses because CDA is cold. Summer is complex because I do not have that resolved yet. Do not have thr hang of blazers yet so I watch your videos! Have a great week! Thank you.

    I am transitioning from business casual to very casual. Ready want to find my signature look. I’m glad sneakers are on trend because I can wear them again. I’m also hoping to bring leggings back to my wardrobe an I have a faux leather pair now need to add a winter and spring pair. I am also looking to add color back to my wardrobe. I am bored with Black, white, blue, beige light pink. It does nothing for my complexion.
    My three words,
    Classic, colorful, comfortable.
    Classic style: button downs, blouses straight/skinny jeans, cigarette pants, dresses, blazers, and flats/heels/wedges. My signature jeweler: studs, anniversary band, heart diamond necklace. I have hoops but with wearing a mask I haven’t wore them in a long time.
    Comfortable: leggings, knit joggers, sweaters and cotton short/long sleeve shirts, sandals and sneakers.
    Colorful: NEED to FILL.
    My most important staple piece are my glasses. Cat eye style bold frame.
    I love your classic style.

    Sounds like Apollo is scaring the birds 😳 but seriously, thank you for the style tips and examples, they’re helping me streamline my personal style…my signature style of late are classic simple line pieces (slacks, a-line skirt, in neutrals) with a small pop of unexpected color or avant-garde piece(mid century brooch, abstract print tee or fuchsia sneakers, etc.)

    I loved this video and your channel AND reading all the comments (fabulous to see the age range of your viewers) I am going thru a style change along with a life change having recently found the love of my life in my late 50’s. Turns out I have an hourglass figure that I have always tried to put into long lean outfits. My husband loves when I dress in more form fitting clothes and I finally have embraced my figure as well. I am also an ARTIST. After watching this and reading through the comments (super helpful to borrow others words that seem to resonate) My words are “sensual, timeless and undone” ❤️ It is so wonderful to have put this all together because it is exactly how my art looks as well. Magic!

    I really like the concept of choosing your 3 words. I'm not as concerned anymore about the way I want to be seen as much as how I feel when I wear my clothes. I'm still working on articulating it, but I'm gravitating toward 3 Cs: classic, comfortable, and confident. Thank you, Alyssa! I always love the aesthetic beauty of you and your videos! 🙏💜

    So interesting. I am a petite gamine 5’ 0” and my weight is 8st 9lbs. I’m apple shaped with an extremely short torso. I have found jeans that fit with legs shortened. My three words are comfortable, fun and chic. Fit and flair dresses suit me best, or A line. Little gingham check fitted blouses and very fine knit cardigans. I have a lovely 3 circle chain my granddaughter bought me. Granddaughter said it represents me, her mum and her. I love it! Thank you Alyssia!
