Hey yall:) Sorry this video was delayed (I had some Serious technical difficulties), but I hope you enjoy it! Also let me know what you think of the longer format than usual for me👀
Um I always love more time with you so long videos are fun! I’m always sad when the video is over. Obviously longer videos mean more work with videography and editing, so do what’s sustainable for you, but I do not tire of you!
@@professionalamateur741 this is such a sweet comment, you are always so kind
Yay a longed video
The longer the better! I love listening to your cheerful slightly rambly opinions on fashion and other stuff ❤❤ but as said, only make it as long as is doable for you.
if you happen to see this comment: what plant is that next to you? i have the same one and i havent been able to figure out what it is! greetings from finland
There is something so healing about dressing up to go to the library and draw/read in complete silence, i love it. Great concept for a video too!
I love how u pointed out how some younger girls may feel uncomfortable wearing the exact same outfit you wore because their body type. I know for one I stayed away from skirts and low cut tops as a kid because my chest and butt was just to big for it and I didn't want to draw attention.
I'm so sorry you felt that attention on your body as a child!! It sucks how common that experience is. I hope now you get to wear whatever makes you feel good, whether that includes skirts and low cut tops or not
Ugh ,the first time I was cat called from a car by a group of older teenage boys, I was eleven. I was wearing last year's summer shorts and had just started puberty and my bum was developed. Ugh. I will never forget that feeling. No child should ever have that experience it is gross! xx
I would love to see a sequel to this video where you don't dress like you actually did as a kid, but take inspiration from how you _wanted_ to dress as a kid. Making your child self's dreams come true!
i relate so much to the childhood "i don't care how i look" judgments while also being fascinated by fashion
yes!!! Literally had fashion design sketchbooks but also didn't feel like I could apply it to myself haha
I stopped doing laundry to watch you climb that tree. It deserved my full attention. I need to go back to doing fun LITERALLY FREE things! Less going out to restaurants and ice cream places and shopping, more picnics with homemade sandwiches and drawing and climbing trees and playing pretend. I’m rediscovering how to have fun oh my goodness.
hahaha So glad the tree climbing commanded your attention.
But omg seriously, so much of "fun" for adults is based around consumption and there are really so many wonderful fun activities out there that don't cost a penny. Might have to try to recruit some friends for regular tree climbing
I love going to museums and performances with my student ID so I usually get in for free or with a huge discount! 😍
Student rush tickets are so cool, I got so many expensive seats to operas, ballets, plays, and concerts for less than $10.
Of course it depends where you live 🤷🏻♀️
That lowkey sounds healing af
This was such a cute idea. Child me refused to wear jeans. At the end of last year, adult me realised that child me knew what was up and I no longer have any jeans in my wardrobe.
I also refused to wear jeans for several years as a kid!! Now I only like them oversized & with a little stretch to them
My childhood fashion was 50% school uniforms and 50% whatever my mom made me wear/hand-me-downs, so little me would be so happy that I finally get to wear whatever I want and get to explore fashion now. I probably won't revisit my personal childhood wardrobe 😂 but this was a very great video 🥰
I think the topic you mentioned about how we are socialized to both care and scoff at fashion would be such a great discussion. This is something I've been thinking about a lot myself and it would be really cool to hear some other perspectives on that topic.
This video did make me think of my "not like other girls" era (yikes) and how I dressed for the sake of feeling less girly since it was "bad". This got to the point where I hated my girly attributes and sometimes wondered "hmmm do I really want to be a girl?". YES, I love being a girl, but somehow my mentality made me think less of being a girl and other girls around me. I love dressing girly and womanly nowadays as an adult, it´s one of the most important ways I present myself, at least for me.
Anyway, great video as always
I also had an era like that. Mostly in my teens, so now I am rejecting that idea and embracing "girlieness" in fashion.
"adulthood is realising over and over again that everything about you was shaped by your parents" i felt that man
Shout out Hamtaro for seeing you thru every era
literalllly. my ride or die!!!!
I distinctly remember me and my 12-15 year old friends regularly getting honked at as we walked or biked or rollerbladed around the neighborhood dressed in pretty typical tanks and shorts or outfits like the green shirt/black skirt you were wearing so everything you said about being more aware of your body was definitely something I went through as a child and still think about all the time as an adult. WHEW. All of that to say thank you for saying all that and I love your videos.
I came to comment this!
Yea, me too. My poor young teen self. Being whistled at by adult men. It still makes me sad and angry, it's confusing and intimidating.
@@TheNikkePikkerSame here; and love to the kids we were.
I’m fifteen right now and I get honked at all the time, it’s horrible that people think it’s okay to do that
such a breath of fresh air, your excursion in the woods almost made me a little emotional. such a special way to connect to your inner child. you’ve definitely inspired me to try something similar!
The striped tank! I had so many striped tanks and tees until I was told that girls should avoid horizontal stripes (because they make you look wider 🙄🙄🙄).
I remember going shopping with one of my friends in fifth grade and she didn’t buy a T-shirt because it had horizontal stripes and she felt self-conscious 😕
I wish we wouldn’t make literal children feel bad about their bodies, or anyone for that matter
Me too. A 10-year-old shouldn't have to worry about that...
You gave me the confidence to wear my embroidered palm springs butter yellow T. (Ive never been to palm springs) People may mistake me for a grandmother.
I love to hear this!! & honestly grandmas are amazing & there is no shame in looking like one
This was so fun to watch! I remember all of these styles from my own childhood, the cargo pants, the tropical designs, the 90s hand-me-downs. Also the plaid dress + big collar combo! It's feels really weird to see early 2000s/mid 2000s things coming back into fashion now. I'm currently watching a lot of TV from that era that I used to watch as a kid, too, and it all makes me feel much more connected to my childhood self...
I love how you used this as an opportunity to play outside ☀️
vlog concept 10/10, eclipse slideshow 10/10, daily reflections 10/10,
also 7:22 if this pastel-bright orange is a skort with the white track stripes on the side … I for sure had that exact one !!
thank you sm & omg it sure is!!! I love this for us
I had no style when I was a kid in the 90s-2000s, my mom just dressed me and my sister in mismatched leggings and a T-shirt throughout elementary and middle school. The only exception being a Winnie the Pooh pair of overalls I had that was pretty darn cute now that I think about it.
I remember as a child my favourite outfits, most of them were colorful, full of fun prints, and I LOVED "twirly skirts" as I called them (AKA skater skirts). Now I dress 50s style, lots of prints and colors, pink hair ! Child me can be proud !
I like to call my personal aesthetic bebeme-core ... I am sewing items that are reminiscent of the clothes I wore as a baby or toddler. My mom based a lot of my handmade clothes on historical garments, so I'm excited about this sewing project.
I think I’m having an emotional day because I was tearing up while watching you climb a tree and picking up rocks 🥹 Really love this video concept ❤
My current job has no dresscode-- so sometimes I wear my kid self clothes and it's the most comfortable I ever feel out in public. It's so healing and so fun 10/10 recommended! Love this!
When you did the kid Liz pose in the coconut girl outfit, it suddenly came so alive! Bizarre how time is a thing and how you are always a person, and idk 😂 I rlly felt it
Dude, my mom always got me second hand clothes from my elder cousins, I rarely got new clothes I chose to buy, and now she wonders why I love thrifting so much and refuse to buy new clothes... Sorry mom, reap what you sow XD
OMG, same.
1½ years ago I even started volunteering at a "Free-of-charge"-Shop (it's kinda weird to explain, people can drop off stuff they don't need anymore and others can take it for free - so it doesn't go to waste and gets a second life) and while I thrifted a lot before, I honestly can't remember the last time I payed money for clothes.
This way, my style got a lot more eclectic and courageous - because I just take what I think is interesting, and if I end up not wearing it, I just put it back in the shop ☺️
As a child I dressed SOLELY on what was comfortable. 😅 (okay, and sparkly). As a young college-aged teen I developed my first (recognized) crush on a girl and I suddenly cared about fashion. Now, as an adult, I make my own clothes so I can be both pretty and comfortable. 🧡
I honestly tired up a little when you climbed that tree and looked down at a camera all happy and playfull.
This video reminded me of my child self and my own chlotes back then, it was lowkey healing to watch. Thank you!
Your final thoughts made me think of Brene Brown's work and the difference between belonging and fitting in.
I just love your experiments so much! I've been so inspired by your approach to styling, not having to buy new things to recreate specific looks etc. I've been on a sustainable fashion journey for the past 5-ish years and your videos bring so much joy to clothing. Thank you! (I liked outfit 4 best too)
FANCY HISTORICAL BABY I LOVE IT SO MUCH WOW! I want to be a fancy historical baby now. Why do you say things that speak to my soul in such a way, Miss Liz Beepworld? I am truly vexed. Much to ponder…
I personally don't like how you style clothes but i really love and appreciate your content.
Your child self is so stinking cute 🥰
Okay but the coconut girl outfit with the hoodie was kind of a vibe?!
Ok this, but teen edition?
This is the best idea ever
I swear I had those exact pink Cherokee shorts that you showed while thrifting
pardon me those jorts are what dreams are made of
What is coconut girl if not 2003 persevering
This video was so wholesome I can't believe you make me want to do something I've never considered before YET AGAIN, the power you hold haha
hahaha I love this. If you ever do any of the ideas you get from my videos I hope they go great
I always enjoy very much your videos, they are always a fresh breath for me. But, for me, this one has been specially good. You really made me think about my childhood and, me being a 43 year old woman, you made me want to make this same experiment to meet with my inner child, my essence. I think we should all have this connection with ourselves. The older we get the more we loose it and the more we forget our essence. I have never thought the way we dress could have so much impact on this, but it absolutely does! Good job girl! ❤
I haven't read Freshwater but I loved Akwaeke Emezi's other book, Pet. It's marketed for younger readers but it's beautiful
I could never do a challenge like that. My mom dictated my outfits until well into my adolescence and I was being made fun of so much that I stopped going to class. I then went straight to mall goth as soon as I earned my own money and could buy clothes for myself, mainly because I knew that she hated black. And nowadays I am mostly confused about style in general.
This is a really interesting concept (and I was glad to see a video from you!). It did make me start thinking about my childhood clothes and what I liked and what I didn't. Looking back, I can see the roots of my current style (a blend of classic, boho, and 'coastal grandmother, which is really classic). My favorite piece of clothing as a five-year-old was a cotton sundress in a muted teal blue color (totally my color) with bands of red and yellow rickrack on the hem. I would totally wear something like that now. I also fondly remember a dark green velveteen jumper worn with a white blouse with a big collar - again not that different from some of my clothes now (many, many years later).
My style has remained pretty consistent over the years too. Dramatic shapes, bold pattern, colours, and texture. I just really like fabric so I always choose my clothes based on the fabric and comfort. I’m so glad my mother always let me wear whatever I wanted.
Liz you rule I love your videos so much thank you for ✨️influencing✨️ me so 💥positively💥‼️‼️‼️‼️
This video seemed like fun to revisit! Interesting for me I don’t remember how lil me liked to dress, all I remember was hating strips because my dad would call out STRIPS whenever I wore them 😅
I loved how reflective this video was... I feel like being more connected with things that really interested you in your past is such a great place to start being a bit less terminally online (obv idk about you but this is a problem for me). Idk I've been trying hard to spend less time on the internet and more time in my actual real life recently and it's been very good for my sense of self. I thought I would end up feeling connected to people online but I kind of had to relearn how to interact with people in person before I became more confident in my online interactions?? And like... Now interactions over the internet is an option rather than the default. And omg just going outside more and engaging in hobbies has given my brain safe places to wander so I'm not just rehashing anxieties! Critical for me to get anywhere!! Anyway this has got maybe more personal than I meant... Nice to think about what I was obsessed with as a kid (cargo pants and dreaming of being like kim possible, while irl being a shy nerd haha)
HI LIZ!!! I have been binging your videos at work for the last few weeks and I absolutely love your videos and style!
It seems like we had a pretty similar childhood although i am from Germany 😅 the Hand me downs, living in the 90s although it was the 2000s, the same hobbies and activitys… i also was very Special with my clothing 😅 so… wanna be Friends? 🙃
Super video Liz. I discovered you recently and am so happy I did. You are great to watch. I also love the variety of bodies that share fashion on.
I have read a great book - well researched yet super readable and fun - about fashion psychology recently that talks to the feelings your talked about in this video. I can highly recommend « big dress energy » by dr Shakaila Forbes-Bell if you are interested!
She has a whole methodology to follow in it that might make a super interesting video. Anyho. Thanks for the incredible content. X
There is actually a purpose to wearing the baseball cap backwards for people with har that doesn’t cover their neck. It protects their neck from the sun. But it doesn’t make much sense for people that do have hair that covers their neck, in my opinion.
Liz you better do this with your teenage self!!!
This makes me wanna try out this for myself! im gonna have to go through the ole family album and take some pictures 🙈 seems really fun but also introspective
This was such a cute idea! This video was so cozy and I loved the nostalgia. Def gonna try this idea in real life
I think, when I was a kid, clothes just were something you had to wear to not be cold or naked - and not something, I put much sort in.
I remember having a really girly phase, loving to wear pink and purple (well, the purple stayed) but besides of that, I just wore what was put on my body, was easy to move in and wasn't itchy...
My first remembrance of consciously deciding what to wear was when I was 11 - and it dawned on me, that I dressed really uncool and childish, so I begged my mom for some hip clothes...
Luckily, during the last few years (I'm in my mid 30s, so there's still hope for all of you) I developed a style I'm really comfortable with and that's really sustainable because it consists of at least 95% thrifted clothes 😍
Did you take pictures and send them to your parents. I feel like they would have loved that.
This is a really fun idea! As someone who is trans, I genuinely would love to try this to see what clothing feels still fantastic, even after the years and changes in expression
love this video concept! My little child self was very particular abt clothes and it was purely for comfort no thought about styling - but as I got older I had the stupid “nOt lIke tHe OthEr gIrlS” phase + purity culture that caused me to dress in a way that I later ended up hating when I realized I always felt uncomfortable of myself just existing the way I was. So I decided to expiriment with the clothes I loved seeing on others on myself. (I thought I couldn’t wear things only others could cuz I wasn’t enough or whatever lmao and being diagnosed autistic but in denial for a long time there’s a whole lot of lore there) The past 4 years have may look like a complete 180 but I feel like myself now more than I ever did before! I love accessorizing, skirts, dresses, bright colors, etc etc etc
you are probably the only fashion youtuber that has original and unique concept ! love ya !
loveeeee this video idea sm!!! and your ideas in general, you’re so creative ❤️❤️
I distinctly remember a dark blue gingham dress with white lace trim that i adored when I was a child. I wore it until it only fit as a shirt and then I wore it till it wouldn't fit at all lol I'm still looking for it's replacement in my wardrobe to this day. Most of the clothes I had as I got older were hand me downs so i relate to not being able to really pick your own clothes. So if I did have something I loved, i LOVED it.
Those thoughts on outfit two were so real
Omg this video made me feel so many things 💖 I love little me 😌
I love this comment🥹
this was so sweet and thoughtful💕
I think I had the exact same melon green t-shirt with the fish graphic, when I was a kid! We're about the same age so it makes sense
omg I love that. that was one of my faves!!
7:04 OMG I HAD THAT SAME SHIRT I WORE THE HELL OUT OF IT 😭
SO DID I it was my FAVE
This video totally inspired me to do this!! It honestly made me tear up a few times in weird way because I miss my child self and I want to channel her in my life more 😊🙈
You are not the only person to say this made them emotional! Honestly me too & it's making me emotional now to read comments like this:')) I hope you get to do something to channel little you this week
I was born in 95, and Mom dressed me like I was from the 80s lol I hate suit/skirt sets to this day, but I really wish that I still had some of those dresses with big square/triangle collars lol They always made me stand up straighter and feel more confident than some thin, non-structured dress. If I could find some decent ones at the thrift, I'd snatch them up in a heartbeat lol I had a phase of hating stuff like that, but I was honestly most secure at the time that Mom chose all my clothes for me XD I wish I had a jean maxi skirt nowadays too lol it's funny how I miss some of that style, but I also wear jeans, peans and shorts these days too. Good old memory lane ❤
Oh god. My clothes were sewn by my mum and mostly her taste. More flowery dresses than I desire, then and non binary me now.
When I started wearing my own stuff it was bonkers just lots of I AM WEARING ALL GREEN, NO BLUE. Then kinda goth for the next 30 years.
I remember wearing a lot of bright colours as a child, especially orange and turquoise whereas now I can't stand them and gravitate towards muted, earthy/jewel tones, so this challenge would probably make me very uncomfortable if I tried it myself 😅Love the idea, though and your video turned out to be fun to watch too!
As a kid, I distinctly remember loving capri pants - denim, cotton, you name it. Now that I'm seeing them come back in style, I'm really not drawn to them at all! ...but maybe i just need to try a pair on, again 😂
I would love that longer video discussion about being conditioned to care about how you look, but also at the same time having society look down upon it. Of course, only if you have time 😊 Loved this video as always ❤
this was so lovely, and more likger videos pleeeease your videos are so comfy and soothing and cosy :))
The outfit with the yellow T-shirt: My first thought was, Wow that's what an old lady would wear combing for seashells on the beach. The athletic capris outfit had the same vibe. So I guess old women dress like kids? Hang onto those clothes, you might be wearing them in a few decades.
You inspired me 🩵 I am looking at a picture of me wearing a cute maroon matching set w a collar and embroidered flowers and then a vibrant green striped sweatshirt 😆 I can’t wait to dig up some more photos
Can u do a vid dressing like what child you wanted to wear as an adult 💓
ooohh that's such a fun idea, I'm honestly not sure she was thinking about that but I'll be pondering it now haha
I really loved this! Really tender to think back on childhood faves and memories. Really makes me want to do this :))))
this is such a cool and cute idea and I loved all your thoughtful reflections! Seems like a very good self-reflecting experiment~ I just remembered that as a kid I had a phase of dressing in a certain color of the rainbow each day of the week hahaha. But I only had like one orange top and one green top so every tuesday and thursday people were probably seeing me wear the same shirts over and over hahaha
Really enjoyed this vid, I'd love to know which are your favourite books!
So insightful!!! I so appreciate your contributions here. "Dressing like yourself as a child" never really resonated with me but your observations are bringing all new light to the discussion. Truly great stuff. Highest quality content. :)))
Personally I love the black mini skirt + green top combo, I think it looks sooo good (however, I'm aware there's a difference btwn an outfit looking good & the wearer feeling comfortable in it)
Strapped sandals, leggings and a sweater
I absolutely love this video, Liz ❤ it’s so much fun “hanging out” with you when watching your videos. Thanks for the wholesome content 🌻
I'll do this on the next weekends. (At work it will be a little too weird) Such a good concept to embrace the inner child and the hopefully good feelings.
But I'll change it a bit and style my childhood outfits, because I know, as a child, I always wanted to style my outfits, but didn't have the things nor the ability to do so.
I loved graphic tees with leggings or bright coloured shorts or just a jersey knit dress/ skirt. Ohh all the hats I wore and loved. The colorful striped spaghetti tops ❤ my nautical playsuit with my gold dolphin earrings. T-shirts over longesleeves, ankle bracelets, those plastic 'tattoo' chokers, friendship bracelets...
It's kind of funny that my daughter wears the exact same things I did when I was her age.
28:41 - You put into words exactly what I feel. Usually I don't wear sweatpants and nobody would 'care' if I did, but it makes me the most uncomfortable out of my other "more thought out" outfits because they feel more like me. (I also have sensory sensitivities lol)
I began to cry as soon as I saw you climb that tree 😢 I had the video playing in the background propped on my laptop while doing work and just seeing you embody childlike joy made me realize how overwhelmed I have been with my job and adulting. I miss the simpler times of reading my book surrounded by spring greenery, hugged by branches and watching clouds roll by. I gave my inner child a hug and a Debbie snack treat (little me’s favorite!) before going back to work. Thank you for this very interesting and nostalgic video!
I loved this video, it was so eye opening to reflect on what fashion was me as a kid. For example, for me it was something I used to try to make me feel “normal” or “accepted”. I also realized how hard I’ve worked to separate myself from those beliefs. Thanks Liz for making this lovely video and inspiring me to further explore my fashion sense! - and this was totally inner child work😂💕
As soon as I saw the title I started internally screaming, I LOVE your content but this one is personal to me bc I LOVE dressing for my inner child and Dopamine Dressing and all that jazz omg I am so excited to watch this one!!!
I loved this video! Mine would be so much pinks, especialy magenta. A teal track suit and purple corduroy pants, I think I wore all the colors in 90s ☺️ oh and red pattent leathes mary jane shoes for picture days and special occasions🥰
This was the perfect video to watch this morning while unpacking my vacation luggage and getting ready for the day.
I liked this experiment a lot!
And I did not find your thoughts incoherent - it was an authentic reflection of the day in question and really interesting to me. Especially the part about how different certain items feel if you are a grown-up.
Thank you!
Maybe someday, you could do a similar thing for teenage you?
leaving a comment in hopes of child me visiting me in my dreams! lol but fr loved this longer format video - very insightful and inspiring. makes me want to do something similar (recreating childhood looks)
Watching you climb a tree healed something in my soul. I’m going to plan an inner child day for myself soon and do all my favorite childhood activities
Such a wholesome video idea, I relate a lot to child Liz's fashion choices 😆.
This looks like it was quite the undertaking of a video, but I really loved how it turned out! I'm off to go climb a tree now, thanks for the inspiration!
OMG I'm learning the lore of the butter yellow shirt and these shorts that I am desperate to find my own version of
Idk if you did this on purpose but I’m playing this in the background and half watching while I tidy and the music you used over the thrifting clips at 10:42 sounded like an ad so I came over to skip and ended up watching the video 😂
I ended up getting so much more out of this video than I was expecting. Thank you!
omg the coconut girl outfit looks like you belong at the beach party in the Princess Diaries! so cute
“Wear what you loved as a kid” doesn’t work for those of us who basically wore whatever our parents bought us 😂
after watching this I dropped everything to pack a lunch and a book and went out to have a picnic in the park in my pajamas
