Honestly, just have fun with your style, there’s no rules or shouldn’t be. You’ll never regret playing with your own style, you may laugh 20 years down the line but everyone will be laughing at themselves. Have fun and don’t let society restrict you ❤
I really appreciate the fashion content lately. I love fashion, but have always had a hard time consuming content on RUclips about it because of the way that most creators tend to approach it. I love that as always you create fashion content that does not encourage overspending.

@@HannahLouisePoston if you need inspo, the sorry girls do some great thrift with me videos ❤ would LOVE to see your take, both in content and in production!
This video is giving me LIFE. I have totally lost my makeup mojo, but completely found my love for fashion again. Something I completely lost during the pandemic, I put on weight, I'm my own worst critic and I kept thinking I'm too old.. I'm not cool enough Blah blah. Since binging your fashion content and being inspired by your inclusive fashion examples....I really have found new courage!Before at work ( I was hiding in black trousers smart top boring combo) and I work in the office in a Clothing store!I've shopped my own wardrobe and started putting together combos I never dared before......My vintage Metal band Tshirts with a suit jacket and sneakers, floral dress with knit and DM boots .....I have really found my style again in the last weeks. Even wore the red lipstick!I have received sooo many compliments on my style!All without spending a penny. I'm not going to get younger or cooler so it's time to embrace what I have and just have fun with clothes. Thank you for the inspiration and keep the amazing content coming!❤
thank you for mentioning how tulle, satin, etc are pretty much always plastic and how that effects outfit-planning! it can be so hard to see beautiful pieces and know that, among other issues with plastic fibres, i'll just sweat right through them. I drool over so many velvet jackets and then they're always always 100% polyester
Teenage me had a really lovely cotton velveteen (I think) black jacket in the late 80s. It looked amazing but was so hard to keep looking nice - velvet needs to be de-linted throughout the day. I was chuckling at the street style, one outfit just looked like winter fashion here -a stylish outfit plus massive layers of warm stuff lol... I went thru an Annie hall phase in '90 but I just get too hot to wear sweaters and blazers together & whatnot
I love velvet and it makes me so sad that most of it is plastic. I also love corduroy (and some has very fine ribbing so it doesn't look like what most people imagine), which you can find made of cotton more easily.
@@miyounova yeah i always wonder why corduroy is much more available in non-plastics than velvet. something to do with the desired softness? because even really really expensive brands seem to typically have synthetic velvet
Please keep the fashion content coming. I discovered you through your no buy/low buy, and I don’t really dip into the beauty world so I am eating this up!
I don't wear makeup, but I'm into your clothing videos. These remind me of the early days of internet blogging when some people blogged outfits they saw or wore solely for fun and style ideas with no ulterior commercial motive, brand alliance, or trying to be a celeb.Appreciate the diverse photos you show too. I especially like your videos recreating looks with your own clothes or making many outfits out of a handful of items.
I can’t get over how helpful this video was. And the body diversity you include in your snapshots? So refreshing. Dang, I don’t mean to compare but Hannah, your videos are SUPERIOR.
THIS! Just Yesterday I told my friends that i think II'm finally ready to attempt to do the "socks as a part of the outfit" thing. This is my sign. I'm going for it.
I’m just eating up all these yummy yummy fashion videos! Relish your thought process and philosophy. You inspire me to let myself try things. 😎 We are cool in our own ways, it doesn’t matter if some people can’t recognize it
@@sallyjordan4869 and I'm older still! I'm finding Hannah's videos really helpful in stretching my imagination. It's so easy for those of us "of a certain age" to get stuck...and then with the pandemic, forget about it!
As a new subscriber to your channel, I have been binge catching up on your videos. It is so cool to watch you transforming yourself as you carefully, thoughtfully put much consideration into fashion and makeup styles. I am a confessed shopaholic and am just now, at 60, ready to bite the bullet and find my way to a more frugal element to my life, without having to completely sacrifice fun and style. I am a maximalist...however, you are showing me the cool side of minimal, while teaching me that I don't always need to be buying the latest trends. I can accomplish "cool" by shopping my closet and pairing styles in a new fresh way without blowing $$ all the time. That all being said, thank you Hannah, for being you and not being afraid to put your uniqueness on line! ❤
This video made me so happy!! Yes to dressing down more formal clothing with everyday schlumpy clothes! When i was about 20… (in 1989 ish) I bought a FABULOUS pair of navy blue silk chiffon palazzo pants with tiny gold sequins sitting them here and there like the night sky. They were 100% impractical and made no sense for my life. But i loved them. So i wore them with an oversized men’s Hanes T-Shirt and a pair of Keds and riffle socks and it became my very favorite all purpose outfit. ❤ You will rock all of the fabulousness that inspires you!!
THANK YOU FOR INSPO PHOTOS OF ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF BODIES!! It’s such a simple thing and you’d think in this day that would be more typical but I have struggled SO MUCH with searching for style inspo photos that aren’t 100% young, very thin, and majority white women, particularly on pinterest. I see plenty of clothes that look fabulous on those women but they don’t look like that on me….and I’m just a white middle-aged woman! That’s probably partly an ad/search targeting thing but still….I search with other terms and somehow within 2 pages or so it’s back to the exact same thing. I have a clothing mental block (I swear I have zero instinct for style) but seeing your collections of photos demonstrating styles on lots of different bodies, it’s like “Ah ha! I get it!”. ❤ Now I just need you to tackle a totally non-urban, outdoorsy middle aged cottage core x colorado mountain vibe closet 😂
Because of your videos, I finally have clothing confidence and feel like I have a "direction" when I'm shopping. I went thrifting this past weekend and was lucky enough to find one of those elusive silk shirts -- all because I knew what I was looking for, thanks to you. And it is now definitely one of my favorites; probably my most unique item! Your examples are tangible, and your suggestions are realistic. I'm a grateful subscriber!
I'm 63, and I still have hope that I can attempt cool in my lifetime. I've adopted a yellow-bronze eye look - no easy feat with a fair, cool complexion and mousy dirty blonde hair - and I'm loving the Monica Vikander jewelry bc I simply hate the current trend for "delicates". I watch your friend Kackie like a new religion, I'm looking for chunky sweaters even though we're well into Spring, and I just think you're the bee's knees! (How's that for ancient and decidedly UNcool?) Love everything about your videos - more education than entertainment. Girl, you are cool personified!
I am still going strong in my no buy year and layering clothes is my new hobby. I frequently go on Pinterest to save a monthly idea to try in my own closet. I am slowly feeling less inclined to spend money ! Total win
Thank you for including a variety of images that include a wide variety models. It makes it much easier to imagine some of these pieces in my own closet.
You could sew a slip skirt that isn't overly clingy. Grasser has a free skirt pattern (no. 669) that is cut on the bias but not fitted on the hips/thighs. It's a pretty quick and easy sew. And looks excellent under a chunky knit. I made one last week and wore it with a thrifted hand-knitted men's cable knit sweater, and felt very HLP until I half-tucked it to feel more like myself 😄
The internal conversations about fashion I am now having with myself are because of you branching out. I’m so happy to your trying something new. You obviously love it and so do I!
I love wearing a nightdress as a dress with a cropped tshirt over it. Material is very important of course, I love viscose or linen. Thank you Hannah, this was, as always, so very inspiring ❣️
Black and white outfits are my go-to. I find it incredibly interesting that some people find it scary. They compliment eachother so well in my opinion. Especially on super fair or super deep skin tones. It's a high contrast dream 😍😍
Hannah Louis Poston!!!! Both of us are into the same vibes!! ✨️ I call it " comfy romantic. " 😂 Which is basically wearing a fancy garment layered with comfy one for whatever occasion , mood or season ! Basically, I like this way of dressing because we got to wear EVERYTHING in our wardrobe on a regular basis, LITERALLY!!! I'm still searching & saving for my nice pieces & I'm still building my wardrobe since I zeroed it in 2019 ! I started with dressy garments and then the basics & then the accessories & now I I want the comfy & the fancy ! I'm fully into the capsule wardrobe method, but not the smaller one 😂 I love options because more is more in this case , especially when you layer the statement pieces in an unexpected way !! Or wearing 2 dresses at once !
95% of my wardrobe is thrifted. As a petite, (5'2 120lbs) fit and following the 1/3-2/3 rule has upped my style game. I keep a Pinterest fashion board as well for inspo. When I go thrifting, I keep "outfits" in mind. My style is soft natural mixed with classic and wee bit of romantic. I love tonal outfits and layering. I'm not a "capsule" wardrobe enthusiast, though one would see a running color story throughout my closet. As a soft Autumn, I've found a color palette that works well for me. A great exercise in creativity is pulling out items and combining them in new ways. At 56, street style isn't my thing, but I would wear a white sneaker with a dress. Happy Thrifting!
My feeling about white clothing is that it’s always a temporary relationship. I almost exclusively get it second hand and just love it to death until our time together comes to an end-or it ends up in my painting wardrobe with embroidered flowers adding more chaos to the stains.
I really like the angle you aproach sustainability in fashion, your ideas are equally practical & creative. It made me go through my pinterest styling board & figure it out. Thank you for the inspo🙏🙏
To think that I’ve never considered wearing a sweater/sweatshirt over a dress or skirt is wild to me. It didn’t occur to me to try to experiment with this sort of layering until I paid closer attention to your OOTD on Instagram. That’s all I’ve been wearing for the last month
This is so helpful! I have so many things in my Pinterest (clothes & home decor) but had never really analyzed them before to see why I pinned them and how to make them a reality. (And I have no white or light-colored clothes - partly aesthetics, but mostly I can’t keep them clean.) :)
Last summer, HLP's outfits inspired me to try oversized both on top AND on bottom, which as a short person I always avoided. I love it now! Especially with neutral colors and natural fibers, it feels like a comfy power move.
I've been feeling so lost fashion wise, I moved from the north east to a high altitude desert in the southwest and I didn't know what to do with myself, I'm intensely a sweater girl at heart and I hated what became my daily wardrobe there. I'm back east again and getting to fall in love with clothes again and redevelop my wardrobe with a more discerning eye. I love the consistency of the fashion uploads, they're soothing to my ADHD brain as I get overstimulated in my closet. Also I want to mention I appreciate that you're willing to share your Pinterest saves, it's such a personal thing, a lot like a diary. Thank you for being open and exploring this genre, I look forward to your next one!
I bought two white pieces about seven years ago for my college graduation. Since then, not being affluent, I couldn’t let two perfectly comfortable garments languish unworn. So I wore them. And wore them. They are surprisingly in very good condition now. I’ve dropped blue berry juice on the shirt. Slipped in the mud with the pants. More than once too. My secret is Shout stain treatment. I spray it on and let it sit while I wash another load; about a half hour. Then I drop it in a regular cold water wash. I never, ever dry the garment until the stain has disappeared. And I follow up this stain treatment & wash with a final wash that has white vinegar. This seems to prevent the crisp white color from fading and becoming dingy. The garments will eventually show wear, and they will become dirty job clothing until they become too thread bare. I had no idea this would work until I was forced to wear my good clothing frequently. I was quite astonished! I certainly don’t purposely wear them when I know full well that they will get dirty; holding my jelly eating grand babies, but if I forget, oh well. That’s what the Shout is for. I bought some cheap Hanes tees about three years ago, figuring this stain treatment would work here too. Nope. Turns out the garment cannot be of fast fashion quality. It needs to be hardy. My graduation garments are still going strong, while my tees, are already serving me for dirty jobs. And my other point to note, some water isn’t very suitable to working well with spot treatment. Something to do with mineral content, chlorine content, softness, hardness? Not sure why, so it’s great advice to try this with a thrift find! And I advise experimenting with different brands of stain treatments. I thought perhaps my experience might encourage other lovers of white to be a bit daring!
That image of Helen Mirren wearing green converse is one of my favorites. Also, went to the theater last weekend and wore a fitted cardigan buttoned up over one of my summer maxi dresses and black boots and socks. It was not anything I would've considered previously. It was comfortable, and I felt and looked great!
legitimately did the first two just yesterday bc the weather was so weird + I was having an active day! Wanted to feel the flow of a sundress bc it was warm, but the coziness of a sweater bc it was chilly in the shade, + the overall comfort and support of athletic shoes + socks. It was mainly an all black outfit, but the sweater has a bold black+ white pattern for some drama! Also couldn't forget some sharp cat eye shades + a loosely-pinned updo for that "is she a model off duty?!" type of energy ;)
I just found @ Kathleen Illustrated on RUclips and she is talking about these same style ideas and giving even more ideas about how to layer. This video totally builds on how approachable these styles can be without shopping as well as fun!
I love this approach and I’ve never heard of thrifting being intentional or a way to try trends. It’s usually a treasure hunt experience of collecting things that you try to fit into your wardrobe, often ending up back at the thrift store.
Your fashion sense is so much more interesting than some youtubers'. I'd love to see a video of you trying on some of these outfits you're talking about, whether from your closet or a thrift store.
I really appreciate you your content on do many levels. I’m just coming out of a very conscious phase of wearing pretty much the exact same clothes for many years. A very black phase of just not wanting to deal. To prove to myself that it’s ok to do that. That said I am sooooo bored and was stumped as a 57 year old Mom of teenagers of how to attempt a “ style” again. I really enjoy your thought processes, mixture of body images and a no reliance on just more purchasing to choose outfits. I always HATED fashion because I thought it wasteful and too expensive. You put a thoughtful fun frugal twist on it all! Thank you!!
I'm really enjoying all of your content, it helps keep me grounded (have bpd so it get hard to know who I'm sometimes) and to stay thoughtful about essteics. Thank you.
I tried doing this after your last video with a similar theme and I really liked the results. I have been getting the "there's nothing in my closet" itch so this video must be the sign to get over to my dream closet board and see what I can come up with! Thank you for the wonderful, inspirational video 😊
Hey Hannah! As someone who used to sew clothing for a living, have you ever considered sewing your own garments? There is such a thriving scene of amazing indie pattern makers online these days, and a lot of the garments you describe seem like they would be such simple and satisfying makes.
I would love to see a video about tips and tricks for executing wearable editorial looks. I find that a lot of these slouchy outfits only look good when your posed for a picture and can tend to look sloppy when you’re wearing it in daily living. What are your thoughts on translating editorial inspo from the runway or a posed image into a wearable look that you can pull off anywhere?
This was one of my favorite videos of yours. We are the same age and I too am loving all those looks. Even though in the past I've determined that oversized or overly flowy isn't the right silhouette for me personally. I also realized I thrifted a silk mini dress long ago and should play around with styling it for the day 2 day 🎉🎉
I tried the white Keds with a longer skirt and sweater on top and used kinda frilly grey socks after watching your video on skirts and sweaters and I’ve never gotten so many compliments on an outfit before!
Super inspiring. Part of my newly formulated no-buy is thrift only. Thrift but with limits, maybe. Such as, once monthly. Still working on guidelines. Edit: Also, you’re my new favorite RUclipsr. And I wasn’t considering no-buy before I recently found you. So quite inspiring, indeed.
Lately I feel like I've been coming into a new style. I've become obsessed with midi skirts then I discovered an insta account of someone who layers skirts with dresses, or with other skirts and I just feel so inspired? I feel like I'm more confident in pulling off a look like that now. With that said I will probably buy some new pieces to experiment with haha. But this is an excellent reminder to not go overboard!
These are beautiful outfit ideas! I most usually bought an asymmetrical white cotton skirt on an end of year clearance sale this winter... thinking of much warmer weather. We're getting closer & your video is filed with inspiration! Big thx! 😉
Hi Hannah, just found a very pale pink sequin pencil skirt & am going to wear it with large over-sized hopefully mohair sweater maybe a medium dusty mauve tone. So excited. Thank you for yr brilliant ideas!!! Looking for a lace skirt next! Woohoo!
According to your Pinterest choices you like loose fitted clothes. Just go for it with the trainers & dresses/skirts 💪 Breaking the girly dress vibe with casual trainers gives it interest and edge, and it’s current. Test-wear your new outfit to your groceries store and see how you feel at ease with it. Have fun with it 🤗 Loving the diverse examples of photos selection, absolutely stunning! 😍thank you!
Sometimes I realize that my lust for a particular clothing item is actually simply a desire to see or touch. I ask myself if I can make a piece of art, upcycle some jewelry, or just acquire something in a particular color, especially when I can't let go of silhouettes or trends I won't really wear. Dishtowels, by the way, can be w great way to get a whole range of "vibes" without wasteful spending. Everyone (except newlyweds) always needs to refresh at least one dishtowel in their kitchen
What a beautiful thoughtful last few videos! (Not that your vids don’t always fit this category) I have been loving wearing graphic tees over dresses - I actually find it more approachable then the jumper over dress/ skirt as I feel like i can figure out what temperature to pick such an outfit better whereas I never quite know with the jumper skirt/ dress combo. I have also just had summer here in Australia so that is easier. I have a pair of white jeans that I brought last winter that I love so much and fit me like a dream but I have worn them so much less then I expected because every time I do them I get coffee or something on them so quickly- it has made me realise how messy I am! I think op-shop (what we call thrift shops in Australia) is the perfect solution for the desire for White! And you can always dye them if they get stained!
thank you so much for these helpful tips! i’m going thrifting tomorrow so now i’m running to my pinterest board to see what exact pieces i should be looking out for in particular!!❤
You could pull off anything you wanted to wear simply because you would show so much enjoyment in wearing it. Thank you for taking us through your thought process on finding style. This has been super helpful for me right now, I had my first baby back in January and now I can't just wear my pre-pregnancy stuff because I am nursing. But most maternity nursing clothes are not flattering and overly expensive for what they are. So I am having to get more creative in my clothes choices like button downs or wrap tops etc...which are not things I would have typically worn so I'm struggling with how to style them in a way that flatters me and agrees with my personality. It's more difficult than I anticipated. Your video is perfect timing. Keep doing what you do, we enjoy your work in this world 😊
What I must say I really admire about your channel is the inclusively in the example photos. I'm a mid-size lady, and sometimes it's hard to style things, and something that looks good on very slim women looks nothing like that on me.
Hello! I'm a fellow slip-skirt skeptic, also drawn to the silhouette with larger jumpers. Something I picked up thrifting last Autumn (& you might want to look out for) was a wool bias cut slip skirt. It has a loose, textured weave and an lining and it has the shape and texture of that look, without the extreme delicacy. I also thought I might not be comfortable with the hip-hugging but wore it tonnes, one of the best £5.99s spent of the season. Wool is not a substrate I'd seen around on that type of skirt but I now think it might be the magic answer (for me) of making that look practical.

I'm fully into the capsule wardrobe method, but not the smaller one 😂 I love options because more is more in this case , especially when you layer the statement pieces in an unexpected way !! Or wearing 2 dresses at once !
LOVE the comfy romantic ✨
@@luciev.7844 thank you ✨️
I would like to just say that I would love to see a lilac-coloured eyeliner on you with this make up look 😍
We need a thrift trip vlogs from Hannah! I don’t usually watch vlogs because it’s totally extra most of the time but I would devour Hannah’s 😂
95% of my wardrobe is thrifted. As a petite, (5'2 120lbs) fit and following the 1/3-2/3 rule has upped my style game. I keep a Pinterest fashion board as well for inspo. When I go thrifting, I keep "outfits" in mind. My style is soft natural mixed with classic and wee bit of romantic. I love tonal outfits and layering. I'm not a "capsule" wardrobe enthusiast, though one would see a running color story throughout my closet. As a soft Autumn, I've found a color palette that works well for me. A great exercise in creativity is pulling out items and combining them in new ways. At 56, street style isn't my thing, but I would wear a white sneaker with a dress. Happy Thrifting!
I recently bought my dream pants from a thrift shop for literally $1. Thrifting is where it's at!! Thanks for the great content, Hannah ❤
You should totally take all these personal style videos and put them into a book format!!! I would definitely buy that!
I really like how thoughtfully you look at your style. Very inspiring. And thank you for sharing your pinterest board.
My feeling about white clothing is that it’s always a temporary relationship. I almost exclusively get it second hand and just love it to death until our time together comes to an end-or it ends up in my painting wardrobe with embroidered flowers adding more chaos to the stains.
I really like the angle you aproach sustainability in fashion, your ideas are equally practical & creative. It made me go through my pinterest styling board & figure it out. Thank you for the inspo🙏🙏
To think that I’ve never considered wearing a sweater/sweatshirt over a dress or skirt is wild to me. It didn’t occur to me to try to experiment with this sort of layering until I paid closer attention to your OOTD on Instagram. That’s all I’ve been wearing for the last month
This is so helpful! I have so many things in my Pinterest (clothes & home decor) but had never really analyzed them before to see why I pinned them and how to make them a reality. (And I have no white or light-colored clothes - partly aesthetics, but mostly I can’t keep them clean.) :)
Last summer, HLP's outfits inspired me to try oversized both on top AND on bottom, which as a short person I always avoided. I love it now! Especially with neutral colors and natural fibers, it feels like a comfy power move.
Your bangs? Growing in so beautifully - and so quickly we can practically hear it.
Having a clothing exchange with friends is fun and a great way to expand wardrobe.
I've been feeling so lost fashion wise, I moved from the north east to a high altitude desert in the southwest and I didn't know what to do with myself, I'm intensely a sweater girl at heart and I hated what became my daily wardrobe there. I'm back east again and getting to fall in love with clothes again and redevelop my wardrobe with a more discerning eye. I love the consistency of the fashion uploads, they're soothing to my ADHD brain as I get overstimulated in my closet. Also I want to mention I appreciate that you're willing to share your Pinterest saves, it's such a personal thing, a lot like a diary. Thank you for being open and exploring this genre, I look forward to your next one!
I really enjoy your videos about clothes :)
I'm having so much fun making them!
Loved the diverse photos that you shared! 😍😍😴
Love the process of your evaluation, analysis, and application
Thank you for another inspirational video! It would be great to see you trying things from your wardrobe to follow up on this
I bought two white pieces about seven years ago for my college graduation. Since then, not being affluent, I couldn’t let two perfectly comfortable garments languish unworn. So I wore them. And wore them. They are surprisingly in very good condition now. I’ve dropped blue berry juice on the shirt. Slipped in the mud with the pants. More than once too. My secret is Shout stain treatment. I spray it on and let it sit while I wash another load; about a half hour. Then I drop it in a regular cold water wash. I never, ever dry the garment until the stain has disappeared. And I follow up this stain treatment & wash with a final wash that has white vinegar. This seems to prevent the crisp white color from fading and becoming dingy. The garments will eventually show wear, and they will become dirty job clothing until they become too thread bare. I had no idea this would work until I was forced to wear my good clothing frequently. I was quite astonished! I certainly don’t purposely wear them when I know full well that they will get dirty; holding my jelly eating grand babies, but if I forget, oh well. That’s what the Shout is for. I bought some cheap Hanes tees about three years ago, figuring this stain treatment would work here too. Nope. Turns out the garment cannot be of fast fashion quality. It needs to be hardy. My graduation garments are still going strong, while my tees, are already serving me for dirty jobs. And my other point to note, some water isn’t very suitable to working well with spot treatment. Something to do with mineral content, chlorine content, softness, hardness? Not sure why, so it’s great advice to try this with a thrift find! And I advise experimenting with different brands of stain treatments. I thought perhaps my experience might encourage other lovers of white to be a bit daring!
That image of Helen Mirren wearing green converse is one of my favorites.
Also, went to the theater last weekend and wore a fitted cardigan buttoned up over one of my summer maxi dresses and black boots and socks. It was not anything I would've considered previously. It was comfortable, and I felt and looked great!
legitimately did the first two just yesterday bc the weather was so weird + I was having an active day! Wanted to feel the flow of a sundress bc it was warm, but the coziness of a sweater bc it was chilly in the shade, + the overall comfort and support of athletic shoes + socks. It was mainly an all black outfit, but the sweater has a bold black+ white pattern for some drama! Also couldn't forget some sharp cat eye shades + a loosely-pinned updo for that "is she a model off duty?!" type of energy ;)
I just found @ Kathleen Illustrated on RUclips and she is talking about these same style ideas and giving even more ideas about how to layer. This video totally builds on how approachable these styles can be without shopping as well as fun!
yesss a satin maxi skirt and cute band tee is my go to for spring! it’s all in the accessories
I love the inclusive images you always choose to use to illustrate your videos.
I love this approach and I’ve never heard of thrifting being intentional or a way to try trends. It’s usually a treasure hunt experience of collecting things that you try to fit into your wardrobe, often ending up back at the thrift store.
Your fashion sense is so much more interesting than some youtubers'. I'd love to see a video of you trying on some of these outfits you're talking about, whether from your closet or a thrift store.
Love this idea. New and fresh way to update your wardrobe
I loved the video you did trying on your clothes and putting together trends with your closet. I would love to see you do this with this video.❤😊
There are so many fun socks! Solids, stripes, textures.
I really appreciate you your content on do many levels. I’m just coming out of a very conscious phase of wearing pretty much the exact same clothes for many years. A very black phase of just not wanting to deal. To prove to myself that it’s ok to do that. That said I am sooooo bored and was stumped as a 57 year old Mom of teenagers of how to attempt a “ style” again. I really enjoy your thought processes, mixture of body images and a no reliance on just more purchasing to choose outfits. I always HATED fashion because I thought it wasteful and too expensive. You put a thoughtful fun frugal twist on it all! Thank you!!
I'm really enjoying all of your content, it helps keep me grounded (have bpd so it get hard to know who I'm sometimes) and to stay thoughtful about essteics. Thank you.
Been living the fashion content! It’s so helpful!
Love the funky new models! And the fashion tips!
I love yourr hair!! That haircolor is just *chef's kiss*❤
I tried doing this after your last video with a similar theme and I really liked the results. I have been getting the "there's nothing in my closet" itch so this video must be the sign to get over to my dream closet board and see what I can come up with! Thank you for the wonderful, inspirational video 😊
Hey Hannah! As someone who used to sew clothing for a living, have you ever considered sewing your own garments? There is such a thriving scene of amazing indie pattern makers online these days, and a lot of the garments you describe seem like they would be such simple and satisfying makes.
I would love to see a video about tips and tricks for executing wearable editorial looks. I find that a lot of these slouchy outfits only look good when your posed for a picture and can tend to look sloppy when you’re wearing it in daily living. What are your thoughts on translating editorial inspo from the runway or a posed image into a wearable look that you can pull off anywhere?
I’m really living for your fashion content, please keep it up/add more!
I really think you might have the most inclusive and diverse folks as examples in your videos and I absolutely love that
juxtaposition in dressing is absolutely delightful!
This was one of my favorite videos of yours. We are the same age and I too am loving all those looks. Even though in the past I've determined that oversized or overly flowy isn't the right silhouette for me personally. I also realized I thrifted a silk mini dress long ago and should play around with styling it for the day 2 day 🎉🎉
I love your fashion content! I really appreciate the way you approach style, thank you for sharing!
I’m obsessed with the fashion content! Also loved the guilty pleasures video. Would love to hear you speak about perfume, cause I’d love help!
Thank you, for sharing your future aspirations with us. I found it insightful and somewhat inspiring x
I enjoyed this video so much. Thanks for the work you put into it! It’s inspiring me to take a look at my Pinterest boards and take notes.
Happy to be here within the hour! Another enjoyable video, Thanks Hannah!
This video was fantastic and got my creative juices flowing! 🙏🏽
I love your tipps and ideas❤❤ you are a big fashion inspiration
I tried the white Keds with a longer skirt and sweater on top and used kinda frilly grey socks after watching your video on skirts and sweaters and I’ve never gotten so many compliments on an outfit before!
Super inspiring. Part of my newly formulated no-buy is thrift only. Thrift but with limits, maybe. Such as, once monthly. Still working on guidelines. Edit: Also, you’re my new favorite RUclipsr. And I wasn’t considering
no-buy before I recently found you. So quite inspiring, indeed.
I would like to see more fashion videos like these, you just gave me casual work clothes inspo.
Thx 😊
Lately I feel like I've been coming into a new style. I've become obsessed with midi skirts then I discovered an insta account of someone who layers skirts with dresses, or with other skirts and I just feel so inspired? I feel like I'm more confident in pulling off a look like that now. With that said I will probably buy some new pieces to experiment with haha. But this is an excellent reminder to not go overboard!
Hi from New Zealand! I love these videos where you walk through your thoughts. Love your collection especially the lowered waists! 💞
Love these videos. Ideas that I can apply with an in-depth look at your thought process!
Love seeing so much fashion content. Again - delightful!
These are beautiful outfit ideas! I most usually bought an asymmetrical white cotton skirt on an end of year clearance sale this winter... thinking of much warmer weather. We're getting closer & your video is filed with inspiration! Big thx! 😉
Hi Hannah, just found a very pale pink sequin pencil skirt & am going to wear it with large over-sized hopefully mohair sweater maybe a medium dusty mauve tone. So excited. Thank you for yr brilliant ideas!!! Looking for a lace skirt next! Woohoo!
According to your Pinterest choices you like
loose fitted clothes.
Just go for it with the trainers & dresses/skirts 💪 Breaking the girly dress vibe with casual trainers gives it interest and edge, and it’s current. Test-wear your new outfit to your groceries store and see how you feel at ease with it. Have fun with it 🤗
Loving the diverse examples of photos selection, absolutely stunning! 😍thank you!
Sometimes I realize that my lust for a particular clothing item is actually simply a desire to see or touch. I ask myself if I can make a piece of art, upcycle some jewelry, or just acquire something in a particular color, especially when I can't let go of silhouettes or trends I won't really wear. Dishtowels, by the way, can be w great way to get a whole range of "vibes" without wasteful spending. Everyone (except newlyweds) always needs to refresh at least one dishtowel in their kitchen
Going through my “looks” board as I watch this! Thanks as always Hannah
I would love to see a video like this but having you try to style your clothes and showing us the outfits you come up with from your closet as well!
Loved this video! Not things I see myself wearing, but the concept is very inspiring! Thanks, Hannah!
What a beautiful thoughtful last few videos! (Not that your vids don’t always fit this category)
I have been loving wearing graphic tees over dresses - I actually find it more approachable then the jumper over dress/ skirt as I feel like i can figure out what temperature to pick such an outfit better whereas I never quite know with the jumper skirt/ dress combo. I have also just had summer here in Australia so that is easier. I have a pair of white jeans that I brought last winter that I love so much and fit me like a dream but I have worn them so much less then I expected because every time I do them I get coffee or something on them so quickly- it has made me realise how messy I am! I think op-shop (what we call thrift shops in Australia) is the perfect solution for the desire for White! And you can always dye them if they get stained!
thank you so much for these helpful tips! i’m going thrifting tomorrow so now i’m running to my pinterest board to see what exact pieces i should be looking out for in particular!!❤
Loving all the fashion videos you have been doing lately
Great inspo, HLP! I was watching and thinking of white outfits I can easily make without buying anything new. 🥂
You could pull off anything you wanted to wear simply because you would show so much enjoyment in wearing it. Thank you for taking us through your thought process on finding style. This has been super helpful for me right now, I had my first baby back in January and now I can't just wear my pre-pregnancy stuff because I am nursing. But most maternity nursing clothes are not flattering and overly expensive for what they are. So I am having to get more creative in my clothes choices like button downs or wrap tops etc...which are not things I would have typically worn so I'm struggling with how to style them in a way that flatters me and agrees with my personality. It's more difficult than I anticipated. Your video is perfect timing. Keep doing what you do, we enjoy your work in this world 😊
Another brilliant video! I am getting completely hooked! ❤
What I must say I really admire about your channel is the inclusively in the example photos. I'm a mid-size lady, and sometimes it's hard to style things, and something that looks good on very slim women looks nothing like that on me.
I been wearing the dress and skirts with graphic t shirt and sweatshirts and sneakers. I was a teenager in the 90s which had similar style.
Sneakers with skirts and dresses are the best thing 😍
Cant wait for the thrift with me vlog 😍
Great styling ideas, I am now looking forward to combine things I already have in a new way!
Hello! I'm a fellow slip-skirt skeptic, also drawn to the silhouette with larger jumpers. Something I picked up thrifting last Autumn (& you might want to look out for) was a wool bias cut slip skirt. It has a loose, textured weave and an lining and it has the shape and texture of that look, without the extreme delicacy. I also thought I might not be comfortable with the hip-hugging but wore it tonnes, one of the best £5.99s spent of the season. Wool is not a substrate I'd seen around on that type of skirt but I now think it might be the magic answer (for me) of making that look practical.
Oh my! Thank you so much. Your video has inspired me to break out that purple maxi skirt!
