"you mean to tell me there's a set of steps that if I follow them, I will be correct and good and blameless in this world?" - I feel incredibly seen, yet personally attacked (in the best way) by this sentence. Instructions, BAY-BEE!
STYLE PROMPTS: Pattern clashing, -core aesthetics, 'the one item you can't live without', 'You can never have too many accessories', Pastel vs Brights, Complete monochromatic look, 'I made this myself' (maybe a bonus day since not everyone can sew/craft/DIY), Casual versions/cosplay of characters, cartoons, fruit, animals, snacks, etc etc.
I love all of these style prompt ideas!!! Gonna save these ideas for my own fun, even if they don’t get used for the next challenge. :)
Amazing!! Thank you!
"Casual versions/cosplay of characters, cartoons, fruit, animals, snacks, etc" Oh, so like Disneybounding, but garlic bread! . . . why do I know exactly what I would wear for that?! 😂
me: not being able to sit still long enough to watch this in one go, so I end up re-starting the video 8 times.
also me: kathleen can have increased watch time as a little treat from my neurodivergent brain full of bees.
Me here, also with a brain full of bees, so thrilled to see someone else doing the distraction-restart loop!!! 😅🥹
If I restarted every time I got distracted I'd never get through a video haha... I watch in chunks, or while eating. My bees are doing a slightly different dance! 🐝
Although I did get distracted writing this comment and have to go back 😂
Thank you for this precious watch time gift 😂
Omg I was just 30 years ahead of my time! I made cottagecore jumpers with gathered waists in 1989 from goodwill selvages (odd sized fabric from the end of the bolt, priced for clearance or sold at thrift store). for one I used peanuts fabric that was printed to be cut and stitched into toys, but I just used it whole for the dress! The other one was pink and blue sheep print flannel. I do not have either anymore, and I was severely mocked but I had no idea I was dressing "futuristic." the sheep print dress actually kept me out of jail twice, but that's a long story...
Oh and a style challenge idea! How about picking your favourite food or drink and styling an outfit around those colours. Eg you like avocados so style an outfit with brown and greens or caramel lattes so a cream, whites and browns outfit. It might be a dumb idea i dunno! 😂
I recently started watching your videos a few weeks ago, and I may have binged watched every single video... I was so bummed when I ran out of videos. So when I got the notification that you posted today, I was so excited. Thanks for bringing a little bit of whimsy and joy to my day!
Ahh this happened to me in May and I binged everything too fast 🥲
Have a great week, my friends! 🎉❤
The dress looks so good! some style prompt ideas: different -cores and aesthetics, decades or time periods, genres (sci fi, fantasy, etc), you pick an iconic fashion photo and we style outfits inspired by it, you invent your own aesthetics like strumpet rodeo clown.
With all the book talk, maybe~ a style challenge around book culture? Fantasy, academia, romance, library, Nerdy, magic. I don’t know, just thoughts.
Watching this for a third time while working on a knitting project because, Kathleen, you are by far my ultimate comfort creator. Every upload truly is a fuzzy little gift that tickles my brain.
Great video, hope your hand is doing ok! A pet inspo challenge might be cool. Like use the colors, patterns, and any other elements of our pets to create an outfit based on them!
This is such a cute idea!
1989, this style was 🙀 😬 😨back then but you have the ability to make it amazing. I’m all about this sorcery.
Haha what a compliment thanks!!
Ahhh, I was hoping for something soothing and friendly to watch, and here you are, Friend!☺️✨ Kathleen + Mickey Mouse in Uncle mode + unleashed Creativity == A Highly Enjoyable Sunday Afternoon!!! 💖✨
I've always wanted to do a random color generator week of outfits and also a random pokemon generated outfit challenge 😅I've been hosting style challenges for years...started with decembrights and jeanuary ❤
Theme idea: corporate ren faire (wear renaissance fair pieces in a work-friendly outfit)
🤩
Honestly what I want my work clothes to become. Secret ren faire while still being professional. 😉
Style challenge ideas: trying to include many different textures of fabric in an outfit, nature-inspired, history-bounding. Wanted to repeat what another commenter said: outfit inspired by a fictional character. So excited for whenever we do another style challenge! It’s so fun. :)
First of all, Baby Snoopy 🥹🥹🥹
Second of all, how about a clashing prints challenge? Stripes, florals, dots, bananas…third of all, thanks for being awesome!
I have stumbled upon your channel on this fine Sunday afternoon and as a fellow self proclaimed thrift goblin I feel at home. Kathleen I love your vibes, and I love all of your stinky thrift finds.
Style challenge ideas:
Dressing for different book/film genres?
Dressing like cartoon characters?
Hi Kathleen! Just a suggestion but I think you should wear a white underskirt because :
1. White will make the color of the print pop even more
2. Make your skirt more puffy and fluffy 🐑
Also I really love the sailor collar it's so cute 😆
My challenge idea is to pick your palette from a painting! I'm thinking Hilma af Klint or Van Gogh or Gustave Klimt or something
i'm so inspired by this - thank you!!!
"Strumpet rodeo clown" is such a good saying.
*
Mrs. Frizzle moment and I'm living for it
Its giving Ms. Frizzle on a trip to Disneyworld ❤️ And Cartoon character inspired outfits!! Pick a toon and make an outfit inspired by them!!
I know it's only July. I'd love to see how everyone styles for Fall. A September-October challenge where each week there's a theme (i.e. incorporate a colour you dislike/believe you're unable to pull off, how we see ourselves as Autumn Divinities, or using your favourite fall food/drink, use those colours to style an outfit and we need to guess what food we're wearing as)
I loved the floral Cotton dresses of the 80’s. Still have one hanging in my closet.
I have sooooo many statement pieces that I'd appreciate a style challenge week based on one statement (article of clothing) each day.
Or (this is hard mode for me lmao) styling our basics in a new way!
One where we challenge ourselves to dress to different summery aesthetics would be cute too♡
ideas for other style challenges: maybe a capsule wardrobe for each season? like a week of styling repeatable outfits for fall. tbh it’s just so hot where I live right now that it’s hard to feel inspired to play much with clothing - I’m just trying to be cool and have as little touch my body as possible. maybe that could be a challenge too though - bringing more style to summer outfits with accessories?
Kathleen why are you so very adorable? Love your orange and blue outfit. One time you gobbled us up in your car ,just like you did that cute doggie and💕😁. Thanks for your beautiful ideas. I couldn't find a maxi jean skirt. I put my tiered white cotton slip with the lace on the bottom, underneath my jean form fitting mini. I recently thrifted the slip to experiment with layering. It's jean, maxi, sheerish, and mermaid skirt all in one and unique cute😁. You gave me that boldness.💕
Oh and btw I did the color palette for the week and I felt empowered in my outfits.💥💪😁
Maybe a challenge centering thrifting?? 👀 Your favorite piece, most unique piece, hardest to style piece, etc. Really highlighting second hand treasures 😌
This is indeed a happy little corner of the internet and I am here for it! ❤
Oh WOW!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for recognizing my look for Day 5 of the Style Challenge ❤
This was the first ever style challenge I have ever participated in and it was so much fun! Plus got to see everyone’s great looks 🤩🤩🤩
Any style challenge is a welcome gift not to wear leggings & a t-shirt while daily mom’ing. I started binging your videos 2 weeks ago with my kids after searching for colorful wardrobe videos. They love you. 🥹
The challenge definitely got me out of a 5 YEAR rut. I’ve been thrifting with the kids now for my sanity. So thank you!! 🧡🧡 I’d love to see some ghibli, Ren faire, beach wear, casual cosplay or tv/movie inspired looks. Anything that adds insight into what you’re digging & makes me feel like I made a new friend. 🥰
Aw I’m so glad the challenge was fun & helpful!! That rocks. Love your ideas, too 🩵🩵
The best thing about Monday morning! Your new videos( watching your video from the future in southern hemisphere)
I found your videos recently, and I just love them! I've been loving your creativity, and your whole vibe. So thanks for the quality entertainment! xoxo
Oh em gee I am here for the style challenge! I think a fun one would be styling an accessory you're new to or wearing a familiar one in a new way! Like one I just stumbled onto was wearing a handkerchief around the waist to break up top and bottom, I did it for pattern mixing too recently with a dress and damn it was fun and I never would have thought to wear my old hankies that way!
Kathleen I can't express enough how much delight I get out of your videos! Seriously. They warm my heart and make me smile! Your personality is just so bright. Really glad I got to find your videos🌻
You are giving "Pirates of the Caribbean" Vibes. Perfect for Disney Bounding. Big Thumbs Up.
Aw heck yesssss 🏴☠️🩵⭐️
My favorite corner of the internet.
˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ eeehehe! thanks for being here
My two favorite RUclips things have happened here - thrifting/sewing and books.
The best day of the weeeeeeek!!! 🎉
You always create the most beautiful shapes and layering with your outfits! Amazing! ❤
Aw jeeze thanks so much!
Ahhh thanks for asking 🤩 I love an unconventional materials style challenge, e.g., make an accessory or outfit out of stuff from your junk drawer, pantry, or recycling bin. It can be time consuming -- could make a good one-off challenge.
So many cute looks. Love the community building -- go Kathleen!
Character dressing challenge would be super cool!
I gotta recommend the Murderbot series. So enjoyable and easy to read quick!
I do this thing where I'll thrift sewing patterns even though I don't sew and don’t have a sewing machine but this is gonna be inspiration to pull those out and see if i can hand sew something 😊
The Jenna love warmed my heart, beech. ❤
we miss our queen, beeeech 🥹🩵
@@KathleenIllustrated we can keep her online spirit alive! If you think every time I get a text message my phone doesn’t yell “OH HELL YEA” well, you would be wrong
obsessed obsessed obsessed obsessed obsessed obsessed also baby snoopy?????? weeping????? congratulations on being so swag with a vintage sewing pattern!!!
You are a certified comedian in this video, I dunno why but it all LANDS and I loved it and love you.
Lol thank you! The silly energy was powerful in this one!
I found such an amazing old 80s vintage bedsheet with a huge beautiful light blue Pierot clown with a tear on her cheek holding a pink rose and blue stars all around it, can't wait to turn it into a fun clown core dress too as soon as I also find the right vintage dress pattern for it!
Omg incred!!! I’d love to see it if/when you finish!
@@KathleenIllustrated Hey I did manage to finish it! But sorry youtube seems to censor comments with links. I can try again to put it in the latest community poll if you'd like to check it out :)
I would love to do a challenge week where every day is a different character archetype. Like, what would you wear as the hero of a story? The villain? The damsel? The wise wise old person in the woods?
My favourite author of all time is Laurell K. Hamilton. I started the Anita series at Narcissus in Chains, and had to go backwards to the beginning to fullfill my spooktacular needs. I don't know if it is smarter to start at the beginning, but I can tell you, once you get a couple books in, and a couple characters added 🤯 It is the most addicting series that I have ever read. The fae series she does is good too, but you know my particular favourite 🥰
What great fun. The sheets are the same as my childhood sheets. I saw you spot those in a mic'd up at the thrift store episode.
Loved this sewing project! ❤ Style challenge idea: wear something handmade (or hand-thrift-flipped) every day for a week. 😎
Ideas for a challenge: "shake your neutrals", false black, disco touch, funfetti.
You're awesome, thanks for creating this little corner of the internet!
This is just what I needed today! I have a bunch of vintage patterns I need to use! Thanks for the inspiration!!❤❤❤
Omg that orange shirt is so beautiful on you.
Business Casual Fantasy is been a moodboard of mine lately
this is the second time i'm seeing this in the comments!!!! what the heck, it must happen.
I loved seeing everyones outfits for the style challenge :) I only participated 1 day since my week consisted of night shifts but in the future id love to do challenges with pattern mixing, fantasy themes, time periods.
PS love snoopy !!
omg i love ur videos!!! perfect to watch while im working hehe!
you got this!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
I could honestly watch you do just anything all day and be perfectly content:)❤
so good love it
Oh my gaaaaaaash!!!! Thanks for featuring my clown vibes Kathleen! The sky was a paid actor this week. 🙌🏻
I'm late but I'd love a challenge having to do with making work outfits fun as its something i have a hard time with :) loved the video as always
Tie skirts !! Also ribbon as bias tape is a great idea..I like the frequent mentioning of clowns 🤡
Delighted to have discovered your channel this week, but I've missed the style challenge! Looking forward to the next one.
omg i was so sad when i couldn't post for all the days!! but it was so so fun to pick out some fits. i would love to see circus casual challenge???
and queen as always
Thank you AGAIN for the style challenge! ❤ I didn't post but I definitely rocked some rad outfits last week thanks to it! ♡
❤❤❤ the dress came out so well!!
I've been waiting to see what you were gonna do with that sheet! It turned out so lovely!💖
thanks my friend!
I was actually in Columbus this weekend visiting some family friends and my haul this weekend includes two different poetry prompt books, one poetry book, and a funko pop from the Half Price Books
That lil baby snoopy!!!😪🥺😍😍😍
˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ him LITTLE!!!
I loved the style challenge, Kathleen! I participated three days and posted once, will definitely try to do all days next time! Also, the dress turned out amazing. Love both ways you styled it
Idea: different silhouette than you would normally do.
My go to is paperbag bottom and tight small top, so it would be interesting to experiment out of that
I was really looking forward to hang out with you... what a cool dress! 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️
I love this dress! the pattern + colour combo is incredible 👏 A small sewing tip that might help with gathering the fabric next time: out two lines of gathering stitches about 1cm one under the other and then you can pull them to gather. This way it'll be easier to sew after because you won't have as much rolling and fluffing of the fabric right at the edge and you can just sew your pieces using the inbetween space of the gathering lines. (hope that makes sense!) I know it's double the work, but I promise it makes a difference!
Oh this is an awesome tip! Thank you!!!
The challenge was so fun and you were incredible running it!! It seemed like a lot of work but you were so engaged with soooo many people participating!! I think it might be cool to do your classic “only buy one thing” challenge but all together to compare on your stories! Also uhhhh have you ever considered making a patreon? 👀💜🫶🏻✨
Yes!!
Buckeyes taking over the planet!
World domination is in our grasp ! 😉
Been waiting for this vid since you posted your creation on IG story! :~)
I hope to catch the next style challenge IG thingy - missed the first one but I am in a SLUMP with clothing and style dear gawd. Love your content lady!
I just wanted to say I love your channel
Decades days, aestetics/style days (goth, etc), color blocks, clashing.
just fabulous, informative and funny!. the dress was a flouncy dream, well done...kashi blinky eyes wus cute...a thousand thanks
Love the book review segment ❤
It would be cool to collectively do a pattern of something, and we have to pick a different fabric for each separate piece
You popped up on my FYP so i decided to give this a watch. Really liked it so now I'm going through your backlog 🙃 But I wanted to say that mickey bedsheet was 100% on my big brother's bed back in the 70s! I've seen pictures, and I tried to find it but we've moved like 3 times recently and i have no idea where all the photoalbums ended up 😅 love your aesthetic and your sense of humor. You got yourself a new subscriber 😊😊
I found your channel yesterday! You are quickly becoming my favorite!❤
hi new friend!!!! so happy to have ya :o)
The new dress is too cute, great job with it!! I would love to see a style challenge that includes having to thrift something new for the outfit. Maybe some kind of specific piece or color or something.
Style Challenge: Childhood dream job-inspired outfit. Example: I really wanted to be an archaeologist and was crazy about Egyptian history so I could attempt for some Evie from the Mummy vibes.
i've been waiting all day long for this :P
hehe thanks for your patience 🫡
I'm sworry that is the cutest thing I've ever seen 💃 take all my monies
Just started to watch your videos and im now some how early?? Anyways you seem so awesome i might just continue watching
We’d love to have ya 🥳
Style prompts based on movies, art works, music(?!?), food, zodiac signs, and flora/fauna would be fun!
love it! thank you
Haha, I use the term ‘ear balls’ too! 😂
Your intro makes me happy
🥰 thanks berry much!
The style challenge was so fun! I participated but didn’t post because that’s where I currently am in my style journey 😅 but maybe next time! I think it would be fun to include some outfit recipes like big top little bottoms, etc! Also this dress is soooo toot I love it
This reminds me of the big comfy couch girl ❤
the highest compliment 🥹🌙 thank you!
It's kind of giving Ms. Frizzle and I'm here for it
Yaay, I'm so glad you liked my outfits! By the way, I really enjoyed looking at everyone else's outfits, it was super inspiring ♥
Unfortunately, I didn't have time to participate in the last two days of the challenge.. but I'm already looking forward to the next one! 🌞Great and fun video as always Kathleen!
You the best, ester!!!
