    😂😂😂 I’ve never heard a dress described as biblical! Love that blue dress it’s so versatile and breezy

      I agree so much! Your hilarious description aside, where is it from? I'm headed to Italy soon and have wanted something like this - loose but cool/chic. ;)

    Great tips. I’m preparing for a 2 week Spain trip with only a backpack and can’t wait to use for videos for packing inspo. My favorite travel light hack is bringing a bold printed silk scarf. Wear as a top, use for additional warmth, as a beach coverup or blanket, or a pop of color on your bag, as you’ve shown here. Options are endless and they take up so little space!

    I really love to see your process when you put looks together for the day. I learn so much! And just to say again, thebRome shorts from Sezane maybe my all time favorite style of shorts, something not easy to find, but a WOW piece that I love everytime I wear it. Its shape seem to make me legs appear thinner, its so stylish on just about everyone. Great video, as usual!!

  • @katec9893
    @katec9893 11 месяцев назад +8

    My favourite video you did was when you styled that one dress in about 50 different ways. Would you be able to create an autumn/winter multiple outfit inspiration video? Love your channel and how you encourage people to focus on how to style outfits over just shopping for more clothes.

  • @t10mcg
    @t10mcg 11 месяцев назад +10

    This was a fun video to watch. I don’t understand the difference between “tension”, “interest”, “contrast” and not working! Sometimes you would put things together and say these words and other times you would say it doesn’t work. I would love a video on the little nuances that you are vibing with that make you think something works (in regards to tension, contrast or interest) or not. Well done!!

    • @80apocryphal13
      @80apocryphal13 11 месяцев назад

      Tension and contrast are similar and overlap, but contrast can refer to actual, visual contrast, and slightly leans that way, whereas tension is a little more the end result of putting together pieces that have different vibes, i.e. different styles or levels of formality.
      Both are ways of creating interest, which can be anything that makes an outfit seem less flat and one dimensional. Whether something 'works' or not though is largely in the eye of the beholder and a matter of personal preference/taste (which is often easier to see through consistency than anything else, since so much of it will be subconscious.)

    Just an observation, you seem to keep forgetting that your dark hair gives you an automatic tie-in to any dark accessories. 🥰

    Such great variety! I'm off on several trips this fall and will follow your lead with carry-on only. In reality, few people are noticing every detail of what you wear. They're enjoying your company and your smile. No need for an entirely new outfit each day. I recall your friend loaned you the navy dress for the trip. Would you please tell us the brand of the dress and also where she got it, if that's known? At least the brand would help those of us interested keep an eye out for that or something similar. It really is the perfect travel dress. Mille grazie!

    Great video as always Alyssa. You've given me lots of inspiration for a trip I'm planning next year from the west coast of Canada to see family in Scotland and then on to the south of France. I'm already starting to think about what to take and this has given me lots of food for thought, so thank you! And can I just say, I adore that yellow printed dress. The empire waist gives it such an elegant hang.

    It really great that you make it look so easy to pack light and still be able to dress for all basic occasions and look chic. I do have the shapeless long black dress that I got from H&M years ago but looking here it about the vibe of how you wear it because otherwise it could look frumpy. When you travel it almost like a retreat or something because you stay so long. Thanks for sharing and ta ta for now.

    We went this summer to San Felipe @ the Baja, and also wade some tricks to ware awesome changes in our 8 days of trip. And just between us, I hate summer, us my torture with my medical problems. Thank God fall is just in the corner. And my creativity mind will wake up. Besides I hate wearing small Topps and bottoms😓

  • @rebeccaw9656
    @rebeccaw9656 11 месяцев назад

    I love how the maxi dresses look on you, and I wonder wether a maxi skirt with splits instead of the black pants would have been just as chic - but cooler - in the summer heat in Italy. I generally liked how you put looks together, and the brighter addition of red and pink, even the taupe shorts, really suit you.

    • @AlyssaBeltempo

    Super Alyssa as always! Merino wool is seasonless, unlike cashmere. It is a fabric that can be worn in summer too. Frankly, yr too old to wear mini skirts, those are for teenagers, despite having great legs, like you do, a knee length is better. Wish yd shown all the 16 pieces you packed. The only outfit I liked from this video was at 17.30

It seems it's not practical if you want to do any kind of exploring on a whim, Like taking a boat ride ,exploring a cemetery, some churches wouldn't allow you. In retrospect....would you still recommend a mini skirt to visit a foreign city you want to explore?
