    everyone wears blue jeans and a beige trench coat, but that doesn’t stop you from loving and wearing them and you love them! so wear sneakers!💪🏻
    you will always be unique, even in clothes like others have because the finishing touch to the set is YOU and no one can repeat it

    Regarding the Adidas…it’s less trendy here in France, at least in my area. While it’s popular, what sets them apart is our individual style. I look at it from an entire outfit view instead of individual pieces. Love your channel. It’s one of my reference for minimal and quality style.

    • @AdelineLoke
      @AdelineLoke  10 месяцев назад +1

      That's very true. Not the piece but how you style it! thank you xx

    @Adeline, first May I say you are quickly becoming a fav channel, I so enjoy your calm direct manner as well as your fashion sensibility. Next two things; 1. Your sambas. I feel like if you could come up with your own “signature” styling with them rather than what everyone else is doing, you’d be happy. 2. The gray loafers. It’s hard to really know color virtually but my sense is that they would look really great with browns and the dark merlo red pieces you’ve been leaning toward. I hope that inspires you as you do me!
    Happy new year 2024!

    I think the difference between the sneakers and the other trendy pieces you've been happy about before is likely that those trendy pieces represented a particular look of a piece (like a navy cropped jacket with no lapels), but it wasn't all the exact *same* item. Therefore you can buy a navy cropped jacket with no lapels but there'll still be enough variety in structure, color, material, buttons, pattern, etc that you'll still feel like you're not wearing the exact same thing as everyone else and you're wearing the version that best appealed to you.

    I know the problem you have with the grey loafers. I had the same problem with a cardigan. When I bought it, I thought it was white and will work very easy with my wardrobe, but when I tried styling it, I remarked that it was not white, not offwhite, not creme. It had a weird undertone like a bit rose, but was not a real rose. I struggled some years with this cardigan and than I sold it. What I learned from this, is that if something like this will happen to me again, then I will sell the piece immediatly to get it out of my head

    The samba's. I completely agree. I have not gotten them because they are so satuarated. You want to be unique instead of one in a crowd. When I see someone with them I just think, oh yeh they grabbed something someone else is using. However, they are beuatiful

  • @redesignedlife777
    @redesignedlife777 5 месяцев назад +1

    hearing the thoughts about the trendy shoe and not wanting to wear them and liking them but confused about should you wear it or not was really painful to hear. If you like something, rock it…. It’s simple as that. Who cares if everyone else is wearing them. It’s not that complicated. Especially if it’s a piece that goes well with the outfit.

    I've made the same mistake as you with your "greige" loafers but with rust jeans/pants. Rust is technically in my color season and it's a beautiful shade, but it is so hard to style and feel myself when such a bold color takes so much visual space in my outfits. No more red bottoms for me!

    Oh The Sambas! Yes I got them finally as the backlash was almost beginning to start: after the Prime Minister wore them and “ruined them “ for people. At first I found them a bit narrow and almost let the naysayers and a compressed left foot(the curse of slightly different shaped feet)put me off them. But they’ve become so comfy ( even the left) and I totally love them. I don’t care if other people are wearing them in droves… Clothes can be an expression of personality, but I figure my personality is stronger than any pair of shoes. You don’t have to dress differently to be different. You Are unique ….Believe in your power..😊

    A quick word about at-home gel nail machines: be sure to give your nails a break between manicures.
    I got totally carried away when I got one-it was easy, fun, and cheap to have fabulous nails-that I totally destroyed my nail beds and have had to take the last year off all polish.
    Don’t forget to take breaks!

    That grey loafers might work with similar tone outfits looks if you do. I think if you have a coat that is similar colour tone may work or even a scarf. It may work with the outfit you are wearing. Thank you for making lovey content. I found my favourite barrel jeans from cos few months back because of your video. That’s my favourite jeans as well. Gap has this very nice shape of barrel jeans. Perfect for petite. I hope they still carry I found that before Covid, it’s bit cropped but lovely shape. It comes with small ripped on the knees and with no rips at all. I hope they still sell those. And Totem has a nice and clean shape in different colours. Hope this is useful and thank you.

    Not trying to be sassy but….how is a NY Yankees ballcap special to you? I’m guessing that you like the logo…. I see that hat as the same kind of thing as the sambas. I grew up wearing them so for me they are just a normal shoe. Wearing a team logo is the same thing. People aren’t Yankees fans, they are influenced by social media to want that hat.

    • @AdelineLoke
      @AdelineLoke  11 месяцев назад +3

      Completely valid question!
      I don’t normally wear hats and so any hat that I purchased and wore lots would have been special, as it’s an unusual accessory (for me).
      Also, did it have to be NY Yankees? Also no. I was mostly drawn to the fact that it was tweed, and I fell in love with it. But I totally see where you are coming from too.
