A t-shirt dress is so you!! You rock it well! One of my favorite summer staples is a skort. It looks like I tried harder and put effort into my look. I love that there's shorts underneath so I'm never uncomfortable ever! I also noticed people respond more positively to me when I wear them too.
Christina : "It gets very hot and humid here, so..." Me: *leans in* Christina : *puts on two shirts, and one of them is long sleeved* Me: *confused/amused/disappointed--and then reengaged when I come to the realization that Christina is about to give me all of the tips I need for a great capsule wardrobe for late autumn/early spring here in south Alabama.*
Great ideas Christina! I love linen too; it is breathable and elegant! My summer wardrobe staples are shorts and T-shirts. I live in Los Angeles, California so the summer lasts for a while. I love to wear dresses in the summer more than the other seasons.
Love your content. You are respectful of choice in your suggestions. Just wanted to point out that black and white suit you because of the contrast of your light skin and dark hair. It really suits you. Many choose the same formula without realizing that light or mid tones ( lower contrast) suit them better. It took me a long time to figure this out for myself!! The colours you’ve chosen are “ on trend” too. To be clear they look great on you! Thanks
I was just binging your old capsule/style videos while I curated my next capsule. Even though we have very different style, your advice is always perfect. I know its only August, but I just switched my wardrobe to my autumn capsule. Although I wear my graphic tees year round
I loveeee it! Yes to graphic tees! I kept one of my dad's harley shirts, and one vintage HD shirt for my graphics. You've inspired me to style them! :)
Thanks for the video, Christina! To me, this is indeed the perfect summer wardrobe. I live in a colder climate too, so summer is a bit of my "fantasy season," meaning that it's my favorite season to shop for and it gets me the most inspired (because I can finally go out without a puffer jacket and in white sneakers). The downside to this is that I have way more summer clothers than I actually need, and not even half of those clothes can be worn in any other season (for example, I don't wear dresses in autumn, winter and spring because it's too cold for that (at least for me) where I live, none of my light trousers go well with my autumn and winter boots, all of my T-shirts and shirts are too cold to wear in autumn and winter even under a puffer jacket... You see the picture). So I'm learning how to minimize my closet, and your channel is a big help. Thanks for making this type of content for all the wannabe minimalists out there 😄
I really love the 2 Jean's shorts looks. I am a shorts mama. They all look really nice on you❤. The stripe suit is more like pj for me they suit you well.❤
Thank you! I love watching videos like this and realizing I have almost everything you spoke of or something darn close to it. Helps support not accumulating more stuff 👍 I do love a white pair of jeans/shorts just for summer.
I am not a Summer person at all and I live in Australia! Your styling tips are really great. I will be living in linen or cotton this Summer and especially short sets. I also like a simple sundress in black or white. Like you I only wear man made fibres.
I refer to my summers as “Hades” 🥵🌵 and I’m already looking for cooler bottoms. I like a thinner type fabric chino in a green/medium brown/neutral that I can use a shirt or T with. Sandals, sandals, & sandals and yes I love Birks too. ❤😊
Thank you for sharing your wardrobe with us and some tips! I live in North Idaho USA where we go from cold and rainy to hot pretty quickly so without the adaptation, I definitely need the coolest wardrobe possible, pun intended 🤭. I’m not sure what’s going on with organic basics? Their site seems to be completely down and they have gone silent. A Small Wardrobe/Create Authentic Style just talked about this in her latest video. I personally don’t wear black anymore, I haven’t since spring so across to seasons now, I don’t even miss it! I just looked so drained and my hair always looked brassy even right after getting it toned, over black.! I may incorporate it again for the fall and winter but for now, I’m really enjoying lighter neutrals and mid tones. I am amazed that you are just now getting on the Birkenstock train! For a little while, I refused to wear them because that’s what everyone else wore, but I couldn’t resist too long either. I now have the anthracite metallic arizonas, soft footbed, and they are amazing! Since wearing their professional clog at work in the hospital for the last seven months, I just can’t go back to wearing non-supportive footwear. The challenge with that now is finding more dainty shoe styles that are still supportive. I did find a pair of vintage Dr. Martin sandals in the perfect brown color in excellent condition this summer for really cheap and I am thrilled. They have been a staple for me this summer to add some height because they are platform, without being a heel. Happy remainder of the summer to you Christina!
Haven’t even watched the video yet and i literally just placed an order for the pasties u recommended… thank u!! I’ve literally been dying for quality pasties for a HOT MIN cuz im a 36DD and rarely wear bras anymore so the regular Amazon pasties just don’t cut it 😭 i don’t always mind being a little obvious but sometimes u do need them, and I’ve been on the hunt but it’s been surprisingly hard to find recommendations and I’m not about to drop $25 just to test out some pasties
I really struggle with shorts, I've just given up. They always fit me weird, whether I get my size or size up, or make me look like a hobbit. Lol. I'm a sucker for linen and thinner cotton trousers and skirts, so that ends up carrying me. I like the climate I live in because it's only super hot for a few weeks, and is otherwise pleasant enough to wear longer line clothing and transitional pieces. Also I love nippies! I got a size too big I think, but I'm glad they've expanded their shade range too so everyone can wear them :) free the nip won't work for me, I have quite a large chest.
Love your wardrobe, so sad i cant pull of black and white... especially in the summer... They just dont look good on me. But have similar pieces in terms of Style. I hate snuggling things especially in the heat
Loved this video! If anyone reading has a favourite RUclipsr from the Southern Hemisphere who does similar style videos I would appreciate a recommendation 😊
Yeahhh…apparently organic basics is gone ?! 😮 bought out by another company according to Google bc OB was bankrupt? WILD I don’t think they had plus sizes anyways. Recently got a few tees from asos in black and white and I’ve been living in the black ones. So versatile!!!
Hello, I`m curious about how many clothes you have and how many outfits you wear per day/week? I wear a lot of the same type of clothes all the time and was wondering if I should only have the minimal amound of clothes? Do you do complete closet changes? So when you are bored of your clothes or if they don`t work anymore, do you just get new things? I usually get bored really fast of trendy items or items for special moments. I`m thinking about sticking to 2 colors from now on. How many colors do you have in your color palette? I know these are quite a view questions, I hope you have the time to answer them. Kind regards, Tamara
Hey! Huge fan, fellow minimalist, finance enthusiast, and recovering shopaholic here:) I’m going to be in Toronto in September (surprise trip for my boyfriend’s bday). We are staying in North York and he loves sushi/American style food. Do you have any restaurant recs for the burbs or downtown area? I love your channel!
Rudy makes a great greasy burger - they’re not a sit down kinda place tho. Great for takeaway! Sushi on bloor is really tasty, and I’ve never been but Ive heard great things about Tora in Yorkdale mall. if you want American (I think burgers, fries, steak) x Italian options and cool rooftop vibes try stock TC in midtown! Terroni also has a great patio - they’re an Italian place with a few locations downtown and midtown. Book ahead!
Brits say vest not singlet 🇬🇧 love the idea of a vest/tank/ whatever but I don’t think they are generally very flattering …except on models on websites. You look great in yours though. Maybe I’m just not finding the right one for me.
I’ll never go back to flip flops or flat footed shoes. I wish they were cuter, but to get the support they offer, I think they need to look like this. I’m never going back to non birks. I did get some similar footbed Isabel marant sandals, but they were way more expensive! (I wanted ones without buckles and I took them to the cobbler to have them fitted to my foot - the Isabel marant ones)
I have a Tip... Wear them at Home with socks... My first pair was uncomfortable at first for long walks in the heat of summer. Doing this over the Fall and Winter and i dont wanna wear anything else. Bought a second pair and will do that with them too. Had the issue with all my leather shoes but with Boots thicker socks will do the trick.
I'm not going to yell at you about dresses because I don't wear them either. But I might start cause, girl, some days I can't be bothered to put pants on. Lol My bottoms include black pants. The end lol
Apparently they were bought out and restructuring suddenly - I would avoid buying right now I’m learning lots of customers’ orders have been left in a lurch 😖 - it’s a shame!
I like your style, it's not fussy or overly trendy. I wish you had thrown in a current short dress style, not because I like dresses that much, it's just that wearing shorts is hotter . Thanks for the video.
What are your summer wardrobe staples? Also take a shot every time I say “effortless” lmao 😅🫠
Slip skirt+long tee. Love this combo
@@olgasulaeva2845 so chic and gorgeous!
Linen Tee and Viskose pant
where did you get those sandals? love them
Easy dresses & high waisted shorts
I’d add a Panama hat and a straw bag. Everything looks summery if you wear those as well.
Congrats on 100k Christina! Your hard work is paying off and I’m so happy for you 🥳💜
Omg thank you so much for all your support, Khalilah! i always look forward to your comments here :) xo
I really appreciate you suggesting a good pair of pasties, but also fully supporting 'free the nipple' hahah! We love a versatile queen
Please do one closer to fall as I am looking for new outfit ideas that will keep me away from shopping knowing I have great pieces in my closet ❤
On it!
A t-shirt dress is so you!! You rock it well!
One of my favorite summer staples is a skort. It looks like I tried harder and put effort into my look. I love that there's shorts underneath so I'm never uncomfortable ever! I also noticed people respond more positively to me when I wear them too.
omg such a good call!!
Those linen pants are so slimming and flattering on you!!

Christina ,we are still in Winter in Australia so your video is great timing for getting us primed up for our Spring / Summer.
Lately I’ve been loving a black baseball cap and layered gold necklaces, I call it “the Christina!” Thanks for the inspo 🌟
Loved this!! Would love to see a fall version and winter when that inevitably approaches lol
Def! That’s my time to shine haha - we love jacket weather 😂
Great ideas Christina! I love linen too; it is breathable and elegant! My summer wardrobe staples are shorts and T-shirts. I live in Los Angeles, California so the summer lasts for a while. I love to wear dresses in the summer more than the other seasons.

Thank you Paula! Yes I’ve been told I’m a true “winter” and I couldn’t figure out why some neutral tones didn’t work on me too! 😊

Dear Christina I love your style, even in summer you keep your fresh minimalist look.❤
That t shirt dress are My savers to wear whith white or other long sleeve shirt to combine black and white set an a 3rd piece around My shoulders
This was your best video yet! We love a capsule queen!
Love the singlet, linen pants and cross body bag look. 👌

love how you elevated the look of your tshirt and pants by rolling a cuff!
I really love the 2 Jean's shorts looks. I am a shorts mama. They all look really nice on you❤. The stripe suit is more like pj for me they suit you well.❤
Loved it all and your style in general. The striped shorts set is super cute on you!
I love your style Christina, you are such an inspiration!
Summer feels like it’s going to last forever!! Definitely needed 💕
Love the striped set. It looks so cute on you!
Thank you! I love watching videos like this and realizing I have almost everything you spoke of or something darn close to it. Helps support not accumulating more stuff 👍 I do love a white pair of jeans/shorts just for summer.
In my head t-shirt dress looks a lot more like pajamas then the “pajama” set 😄 to each their own as they say

This was a great video! Ive been binging your videos all week and amazingly enough injust switched to my black lululemon side bag ! Haha
I got the exact same pair of Birkenstocks this summer, also my first and they look so cool!
I’m a hoodie and jeans type of person and the summer is always such a struggle to find clothes I want to wear.
Haven’t even watched the video yet and i literally just placed an order for the pasties u recommended… thank u!! I’ve literally been dying for quality pasties for a HOT MIN cuz im a 36DD and rarely wear bras anymore so the regular Amazon pasties just don’t cut it 😭 i don’t always mind being a little obvious but sometimes u do need them, and I’ve been on the hunt but it’s been surprisingly hard to find recommendations and I’m not about to drop $25 just to test out some pasties
I hope they work well! I’ve had mine for years now!
Lookin’ good in the thumbnail😍😍
awe thank you!
Those are my besties as I live in Indonesia 😅 hot n humid. Thank you ❤
I really struggle with shorts, I've just given up. They always fit me weird, whether I get my size or size up, or make me look like a hobbit. Lol. I'm a sucker for linen and thinner cotton trousers and skirts, so that ends up carrying me. I like the climate I live in because it's only super hot for a few weeks, and is otherwise pleasant enough to wear longer line clothing and transitional pieces. Also I love nippies! I got a size too big I think, but I'm glad they've expanded their shade range too so everyone can wear them :) free the nip won't work for me, I have quite a large chest.
Great video! I actually have (and use) the very similar summer essentials this year 😁
Love your wardrobe, so sad i cant pull of black and white... especially in the summer... They just dont look good on me. But have similar pieces in terms of Style. I hate snuggling things especially in the heat
Just came across your channel and I’m so glad I did! Love love your style hun and your content! Can’t wait for the autumn vids! x
Excellent ! I love your style.
My summer essential are a pair of slip shorts. Chafing thighs are painful as heck
Always look forward to your videos!
I appreciate it so much!
Brits do say tank top, or vest 😊 never heard of singlet edit: apparently it is a British word but I’ve not heard it in the UK
Must be aussies that I heard say that! Haha
Haha in Australia and New Zealand we say singlet
Us Aussie use tank top and singlet but vests are thicker and often made of wool
Thank you for this ❤️🤗
Always! xx I hope you're well girl!
Easy breezy looks
beautiful cover girl haha - I had to :)
Loved this video! If anyone reading has a favourite RUclipsr from the Southern Hemisphere who does similar style videos I would appreciate a recommendation 😊
Been watching a lot of capsule videos lately and I have to say that yours is one of my faves so far!
Awe thank you!!
Yeahhh…apparently organic basics is gone ?! 😮 bought out by another company according to Google bc OB was bankrupt? WILD
I don’t think they had plus sizes anyways. Recently got a few tees from asos in black and white and I’ve been living in the black ones. So versatile!!!
Wowwwww that’s really unfortunate!
I love seeing The Simpsons clips in your videos. 😆
The best!

I’ll never go back to flip flops or flat footed shoes. I wish they were cuter, but to get the support they offer, I think they need to look like this. I’m never going back to non birks.

Love all the looks! Side question, is something going on with organic basics website??
Apparently they were bought out and restructuring suddenly - I would avoid buying right now I’m learning lots of customers’ orders have been left in a lurch 😖 - it’s a shame!
@@Christinamychas WOW! Thank you for that information!!
Im early this time. Yey!
yayyyy! thank you for being here!!
100% pajamas, no matter what color.
I did a skirt/shirt set to avoid the pj look.
haha i get it!
Hate summer, the tops the bottoms, so locking forward yo wear transitional pieces. Even vest are ssving me to wear this season.
How to select nude lipstick shade??
I always wear a pink toned shade - brown undertones tend to translate very 90s brown on me!
Can I ask if you do something specific when you roll up your trousers? I love the way it slightly tapers the leg on you!
I just roll 2-3 times depending on the length of the pant - the linen trousers in the video do taper on their own, that's prob why!
I like your style, it's not fussy or overly trendy. I wish you had thrown in a current short dress style, not because I like dresses that much, it's just that wearing shorts is hotter
. Thanks for the video.
Global warming 😅 it's scientifically called summer 😎
it's feeling hotter than ever these days!
