    How would you style these pieces differently?

    • @jvl1a
      @jvl1a Рік тому +10

      The beige dress I would style with some brown/dark beige/neutral sweather with big holes on top of it and high lace up shoes and maybe with some fishnets kinda tights. On cold weather maybe I would add long heavy jacket that would ends right above where the skirt ends.

      The mini skirt I would pair with a funky turtle neck! Or maybe a red one to match your red gogo boots and black jacket!

    • @veve7349
      @veve7349 Рік тому +8

      I think you could make the dress look less costume-ey by taking out the little stitches that gather the fabric of the skirt towards the bottom of the dress in the front and the back (there are three areas where they did that as far as I can see, two in the front, one in the back). It would fall more plain and the underskirt would only peek through while walking. More cottage core, less pirate. It looks like it would be a simple alteration that would make the dress easier to style for sure. Maybe I'd go with green dye then?

    I really appreciate you putting the time and effort into trying to "salvage" the outfits. Getting into thrifting and becoming aware of the sustainability movement has taught me that instead of getting rid of clothes, it's much more fun to try and make them work for me.

    I wanna see the dyed dress. It seems like the most interesting item, just not a great color. I would probably go more brown with it just because of the color family it's in already, but I bet the black will cover well and make it more versatile.

    Before I continue on, I’m thinking you could layer the pretty white lace bodysuit OVER a smooth-fitting long or short sleeve top so it looks like a lace tank top over it. But the way you styled it under the corset and white longer skirt was SUPER pretty! 🥰

    For the lace bodysuit, I would wear it with a pleated skirt (Or any kind of mini skirt) and a cropped cardigan, but have the cardigan sleeves pushed off the shoulder! Then layer some necklaces on top 🥰

    We all buy things we regret, and I will never not watch (and enjoy) videos that support and teach us how to restyle and rethink these pieces. The 'mend and make do' mentality is so important, not only for sustainability, but also to remind us that with a bit of imagination, we _can_ make those pieces work for us. ❤

  • @georginaferenz6083
    @georginaferenz6083 Рік тому +17

    I love the first outfit! You could also layer a sheer fitted black shirt under the white bodysuit and add a long tiered black skirt/boots. I think you will get more inspiration and use once the weather gets cooler too.

    In the original video I was totally with you that it was super disappointing purely based off the price. If you would have been charged $60-$90 I feel like it would have been amazing. In this video I think you really made everything work and look amazing, but the box is still disappointing because it’s not worth the price

    Wow, your hair is so incredibly cute with all the ribbons! And I think you definitely improved the pieces with your own styling. The final dress look was my favorite. I also think dying the costume-style dress black is an amazing idea!

  • @lilhonor5425
    @lilhonor5425 Рік тому +15

    With the two dresses I think they might look good with cardigans especially long ones. A flannel would also look good with the grey dress. With the brown dress I think pairing like a sheer or lace turtle neck underneath could work. I also think with different accessories it could work in different aesthetics like you could wear it with arm warmers and your demonias for like a fairy grunge/whimsigoth look. If you went the cardigan route with it I think it could also lean more cottagecore with other accessories.

  • @marianacuns
    @marianacuns Рік тому +6

    for the lace bodysuit i would style it in a very casual summer way! basically like i would style a white tank top. you could wear it with some high waisted jeans and sneakers or with some denim shorts and an open button up :)

  • @sterrexx4891
    @sterrexx4891 Рік тому +1

    Hope you get some inspiration

    I really liked this video and would love to see a "re-style my closet "series using existing pieces or with 1 strategic new piece . Here lately I'm trying not to shop as much and the same outfits over and over in my closet are driving me crazy!

  • @kaytoomuchsalt5100
    @kaytoomuchsalt5100 Рік тому +5

    It’s really great to see you try to make these pieces work for you! I definitely agree that the box was a bit underwhelming considering the cost. For the lace bodysuit, if you have any bandeau bras (or thin tube tops or cropped tanks could also probably work), you could probably layer those underneath so the detailing still gets a chance to shine without you feeling too exposed - that’s my go-to strategy for a short-sleeved mesh top I have. For the ornate dress - I think dying it black or, like I saw someone else recommend, green could be pretty! Another possible suggestion - if you’re worried about it being too costume-y as one piece, maybe you could cut it up into two pieces? So you’d have a corset top and a flowy skirt. (I’m admittedly thinking about that one thrift flip Carrie Dayton did where she turned a plaid tunic dress into a matching set.) It could be easier to dress them down that way? Especially since you own individual pieces like that already. Also, pairing the button-up with the pleated skirt was a great idea! It was very cute and you seemed way more comfortable in that than in some of the other outfits. I agree that the last dress suits you the most - it definitely makes for a good spooky season dress and I also think it gives some very strong Taylor Momsen/indie sleaze vibes. I don’t know if you still have your pumpkin cardigan but that and/or the fall vest you got while thrifting with Carrie could be fun to pair with it? 🤔

    You honestly did a great job styling everything, especially for what the pieces were!! Also you styling the white lace body suit reminded me of the sister in 27 dresses where she cuts up the mom's old dress and uses only one small piece to see on her final dress, except not in a heartbreaking way like the movie

    The lace body suit is just giving 80s Madonna but in a bad way for me, but the way you layered it in the first outfit was great! Would it also work better for you dyed black? I feel like black lace comes across less tacky when it's that kind of elastic material.

    Hey, Alexa! I love your videos! I think that the dark blue pleated skirt would look really cute with like a black or white baggy sweater, or maybe like a tank top and a cardigan. It would be like a dark academia aesthetic. I also liked how your baby tee looked with the skirt by itself, so you could just pair it with a simple white tee or the one you wore. These are just some ideas for other ways you could style the skirt.

    I love the first outfit you styled so much! I originally thought you did black cowboy boots with- which I think could all be really cute too! But the boots you paired I think are more you style. Or maybe even add some sort of open black vest over it to tie in the black boots.

    i would try layering the lace bodysuit on top of a tight long sleeve shirt or long sleeve turtleneck with a blazer over it.

    This video was an excellent idea.
    OUTFIT 1: I think outfit 1 works. It's quite cute!
    OUTFIT 2: I'm not sure if I like how outfit 2 layers. Maybe if the spaghetti strapped top was white or black the outfit would look more cohesive. I understand that maybe you were going for a pop of colour, but you can always get that in shoes and accessories.
    OUTFIT 3: For outfit 3, I did not like the shoes with with tee. Sorry. I think the shoes are too dressy for the tee.
    OUTFIT 4: I liked the cropped look better for outfit 4 lol.
    OUTFIT 5: I think you should just sell the dress away. I feel like it wasn't meant to be. What if u dye it and u still don't like it?
    OUTFIT 6: I'm not into wearing slip dresses in public, so I can't really comment on the last outfit.
    I love these type of videos from you though! WEAR WHATEVER MAKES YOU FEEL CONFIDENT!😊

    I think with that body suit, I'd do one of those cool-girl oversized blazer and jeans or mini skirt outfits, where you just see a little peak of the body suit. like the kind of outfit that Karina Gomez wears!

    i think it would look amazing if you dyed the dress green, grey, or pink :D
