You are on the rise to be a top influencer with the articulate execution, interesting but cohesive topics, filming and editing technique, and authentic energy that’s just beaming from our screens!
I agree. Plus her style isn’t trendy. It’s uniquely hers and she wants people to find their style too. I love her work! I always look forward to seeing her go shopping especially :)
HA Ha ha ha. You guys cracked me up in the blooper section. First you in the green haze of getting all the green garment out in a sentence and then your cutie patootie hubby got to get in the mix and try to help out. Have you ever had him pick out an outfit for you to wear? I wonder how well does he know your style? I really enjoyed this tutorial of mixed print styling 101. I think I finally getting the beginner hang of it. You are such an inspiration. Thrifted at a store connected to an retirement home and found several pairs of some great wool plaid men trousers. Then I spied some men wool plaid blazers and grab them. I next went into the men dress shirts that had stripes/plaids/graphic that had the same common colors as the trousers and blazers. I tried them on, I think I finally got the mixed print down with the styling of these new pieces. I think I subconsciously picked up on these rules because I seen so many great examples from you and a couple of other RUclipsr (KarenBritchic and BJones). I will be saving this video for future guidance. You are such a blessing to your followers, like I always said in the beginning you spoil us. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you in the days to come.
Haha thanks! I just did an IGTV of my husband picking out my outfit if you want to check it out on my IG. Sounds like you had fun with prints at the thrift store! That’s awesome!!!
Loved this one!!! I had a realization watching this: you make it all seem relatable and attainable. It's not so "out there" that I feel overwhelmed or like it's only for a few super-creative types who went to fashion school, you know? It's as if we can go thrifting and/or shopping in our closets and get inspired to try new things, no matter who or where we are! You make me feel JOY in the possibility of it all! 😊 My creative juices just get flowing!! For me, a huge thing I love about your videos the way you always show how you've styled things. Your outfits perfectly walk the line of unique and cool without being too much. It's an art and a gift, for sure! So appreciate all the care, thought, time and heart you put into each video, Erica! 😙😙😙
That honestly makes me so happy because I REALLY want women to feel that way! To be inspired by what they already have and to try new combos with their clothes. Thank you so much for this super constructive feedback. It’s very encouraging to me! ❤️❤️❤️
My favorite outfit is the brown snakeskin skirt with the brown polka dot blouse! You look really good in brown colors! Very nice video also... lots of fun ideas!
You made me so excited to look into my closet and see what patterns and colors I could mix together! I always love watching these types of videos because they're always so informative and they allow me to have a new mind set when it comes to putting together pieces I have in my closet. Thank you for this! I can't wait to see what groovy and funky outfits I can come up with 😊🌼
Erica, you are getting SO GOOD! This video was so interesting and informative. All of the patterns worked. I would never have known all of this. Did you learn all this in school? Your bloopers were such a fun addition. You are amazing!
Thank you ! That was very informative. I would love it if you would do a video on styling scarves. By that I mean continue with pairing patterns but also how to wear different lengths, widths and weights of scarves. Again, thank you much!
This video is going in my bookmarked for when I think I don't have anything interesting to wear along with your color one. I love the way you style outfits. It's like... a breath mint for my brain? It's so pleasing and exciting to my eyes. Somehow I found 2 creepy ways to say inspiring. It's inspiring! I love the first brown look and the purple look is so dang groovy, I hope you go out dancing in that one! I love the quilted red jacket with mini flower red skirt and plaid shirt look.
thank you so much for creating this - this was so helpful and informative. appreciate the amount of work you put into your videos this is the type of content that I love!
You’re closet has to be amazing 😉 to be able to create all those patterns and looks I always seen these looks but sooo scared to wear!!! Sooo beautiful soo bold soooo daring!!! I love it! You are giving me the courage to try to rock something different!!! Thank you for sharing!!!! ❤️
I'm subscribed to your channel and enjoy all of your videos, but I think this one is your best. The information is very helpful, and there are so many good tips, I find myself returning to it over and over. Thank you!
Thank you! I'm so glad that it was helpful! Haha it's fun to try it out even with prints that seem like they might not go together- sometimes you'll be pleasantly surprised!
You & Beth & Karen (please recommend others!!) are so inspired when it comes to color/print mixing! Now I am eyeing my closet with great interest........ PS. poop emoji hehe
It was very good, informative, relaxing, enjoyable, interesting, colourful, …. I liked all the outfits, and the mixing, and the patterns, ... it was great! I can't get enough of your style, and you're so sweet, thank you Erica :)
Thank you for such a great video! I feel like i can mix prints/patterns now without stressing over it so much. Love the white blouse you are wearing! xoxo 😘
I love Sezane too, but I can't afford their cloths. Enjoy your gift! Looks beautiful on you. Love all the papers here too. Well done! They look so pretty as your background!
I have racked my brain trying to figure out who you remind me of as far as look wise and style.. the way you dress and carry yourself.. and I finally figured it out today .You Remind me of a young Audrey Hepburn.. her style and the way she presents herself . She was so beautiful and eloquent.. that's who you remind me of...
first time I saw this mixing was on RUclips with your blonde hair friend she was sitting on bench with red large plaid pants with black and white houndstooth blazer, tried to find it looking back but can't find it on RUclips but very cool look
Just an excellent tutorial video about combining colors, prints and stripes of all kinds and sizes. Everything looked wonderful! (But can someone explain to me this thing about big, black clunky men's shoes with cute outfits?? I like clunky shoes, like wedges and thicker-soled flats and chunky heels, but I don't get the big, black, looks-like-I'm-wearing-my-husband's shoes...couldn't they be a little more in proportion to these great looks??)
Haha! This was a trend I saw all over the streets of Paris when I went. I think the juxtaposition of combining menswear and more feminine pieces together creates a really interesting look. There were also a lot of people wearing the Dr. Martin lace up boots which gave the same feeling. Lots of flowy dresses paired with tough boots.
I loved this video so much! This is probably asking too much but here I go anyway...I ask because I'm stuck. Would you consider doing a video like this one explaining how you take a VERY period vintage piece (example: an 80's dress, distinct 80's print, color and shillouete) and how you style those pieces to be relevent today. I understand buying current trends but vintage item that meet those trends. How do you incorporate peices that speak to you, but are a walking era stereotype and wear them without feeling like you are in a costume? Or is buying only vintage pieces that meet current style trends the only way it works? I feel like your superpower is making vintage feel so modern and fresh. I'd love to hear how you approach this. Thank you for all you are do. I always look forward to Thursday!
Thank you so much Amy for your comment and suggestion! I think it’s a great idea and I might try incorporating more of explaining stuff like that in an upcoming Styling Vintage video. I think there are some pieces (esp from the 80s) that can be hard to style in a contemporary way. My suggestion would be to go for more toned down versions of this era- for example instead of wearing an acid wash dress with rhinestones and huge shoulders, opt for maybe a red silk dress that has an 80s silhouette with broad shoulders but the rest of the dress is simple. (I saw a dress like this the other day and I almost bought it). So- you can wear the acid wash rhinestone dress if you want but you can’t really style that piece in a way that feels modern because the piece is just too stuck in the 80s. Whereas the red silk dress with the iconic 80s power shoulder is easier to style for today. Pair it with some heels from a different era (not the 80s) and keep the accessories contemporary as well. I hope that helps!
Recently you used the greeting “hey guys” and you were praised for inclusivity- now it’s back to “ladies.” Pay more attention to your comments and allow for more diversity in your viewers!
Emily Walker How is hey guys inclusive and better than hey ladies?! both are gender specific and hey guys is pretty insulting to the empowered females out there.
As someone who is self-identified as socially aware and has worked as a social worker in a variety of arenas,I feel like I can say this. RELAX! Her channel is obviously about slow/sustainable fashion and positivity. I don't see how she is obligated to be hyper aware of PC inclusion. I feel like if you're looking for someone who is always completely socially "woke" then you're in need of finding other inspiration.
Obv it’s not a huge deal if she decides to use more gender-inclusive language or not, it’s her choice. There are much bigger fish to fry out there. It’s not about policing language or encouraging a hyper ‘pc’ environment just for the sake of it- I’m simply mentioning that there are those who may appreciate feeling included in her greeting. However, her channel, her choice. ((i’m personally a much bigger fan of those who use their platforms in the most inclusive manner possible. i definitely understand that there are many who don’t think twice about this, don’t think it’s a big deal, or just don’t give a shit. everyone’s entitled to their own opinion!))
🙄people are so offended.. we all have to walk around on eggshells because no matter what you can’t win.. let’s relax people! Hopefully my saying people wasn’t offensive to the robots out there🙈😂🤣
You are on the rise to be a top influencer with the articulate execution, interesting but cohesive topics, filming and editing technique, and authentic energy that’s just beaming from our screens!
mcmeow108 omg i just thought the same thing! She’s going to the top for sure 💁♀️
I agree. Plus her style isn’t trendy. It’s uniquely hers and she wants people to find their style too. I love her work! I always look forward to seeing her go shopping especially :)
😭 Ya’ll are too much!!! My heart is swelling as I feel your genuine love. Thank you!

My thought exactly.
The purple jumpsuit is just bomb.

That’s wonderful! If you end up posting an outfit on IG please tag me so I can see!
Erica, you are getting SO GOOD! This video was so interesting and informative. All of the patterns worked. I would never have known all of this. Did you learn all this in school? Your bloopers were such a fun addition. You are amazing!
Aw thank you mom! No I didn’t learn this in school. I learned it by watching RUclips. Haha
Tiny Acorn I should have known 😊
Bloopers were everything!!

She was the most cutest woman.Iam so sorry that she is not on you tube anymore.😢
Great video! I'm always afraid of mixing patterns and looking like a crazy old clown!
Haha 😂 I think it can be done in a chic way!
Nice video XOXO bye
Also, just so you know, the women in your lovely new shirt are inspired by the French artist Henri Matisse 😊
Ah yes that makes sense!
🙌🏻
after the second "i have enough light" i just sigh xD
mom marshall
Excellent video, however the problem with all videos like this for me is the bare legs. Wearing a COAT or a HEAVY Sweater with BARE Legs brrrrrr
You can always wear tights if you live in a colder climate!
Okay...but why are you wearing a COAT and a HEAVY sweater if it’s warm?
Recently you used the greeting “hey guys” and you were praised for inclusivity- now it’s back to “ladies.” Pay more attention to your comments and allow for more diversity in your viewers!
Emily Walker How is hey guys inclusive and better than hey ladies?! both are gender specific and hey guys is pretty insulting to the empowered females out there.
