    This might sound really stupid but I feel like I have anxiety about so many things, so when picking what I wear, it's the one place where I can actually stay firmly in my comfort zone. I know what I like and what makes me feel at least a little confident and I don't want to change it. I envy how brave you are to change your style and try new things.

    • @lja530
      @lja530 День назад +1

      I totally agree. Sometimes it's fun to change oneself creatively, but there's nothing wrong with sticking to what you know and like.

    Those brown coveralls are FANTASTIC... I LOVE them! You can always wear a long sleeve top or sweater underneath, and you can then put a vest on top. Try a chunky belt too... there are so many ways to change them up. I have a couple pairs, and they can be so versatile. Let your imagination run free... just have fun with them! They look great on you by the way! 🤩❤

      They would look better without the elastic in the waist.

    • @Thatisbeth
      @Thatisbeth День назад +2

      I love them too! I always like wearing my hair up messy with some strands down, and chunky gold earrings when I wear mine.
      Also I think with these brown ones I’d probably role up the sleeves once or twice. Maybe a chunky boot?! 🙌🏻

  • @emmamemz6514
    @emmamemz6514 День назад +42

    The jumpsuit is so nice on you! I'd recommend adding in some colour, maybe a colourful sock and a bandana around your neck in a contrasting colour to brown like pink, yellow or green. Maybe also sizing smaller if you prefer the fit to be closer to your waist.

    Alexa you NEED to get a poncho like that one. It's genuinely one of my favorite outfits I've seen you in, it just suits you so well especially that tone of yellow! I've never wanted to reach through the screen and have an outfit more

    • @hunny7924

    @fashionandfear День назад +14

    Yes Alexa come join us in the coveralls / boiler club! 😂 but seriously, I almost spit my drink out when I saw you pull that out. I am wearing a long sleeve purple one right now. I love jumpsuits in general so much. They stand on their own but I am maximalist so I accessorize with additional collars, scarves, skinny scarves, giant pendant necklaces, arm warmers / gloves, overskirts and or belts and ruffle leg warms to stick out under them and over my docs.

    I love the barrel jeans with the striped tee. And it would look lovely with kitten heels. And the poncho is chef's kiss. I see it more like boho style, not cowboy. I'm glad you didn't change your boots.

    Being a german in fall, where workwear and funcion wear is suuuper duper popular in general, I am waiting for coveralls to come into style as well(and differnet torso lenghts...). So useful for gardening and physical work. Also the high waisted cargo pants from workwear brands with with little inbuilt cincers, so much more comfy than belts...

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience wearing these unfamiliar items! This was definitely a good reminder to always consider the functionality of an item and the way it will interact with clothes you’d wear it with, and to go into a store to try on a new silhouettes (or borrow from friends/family).
    One thought I had about the camo pants is that I could see it making more sense with your style if the color combination was more subdued (e.g. dark monochrome and/or muted) and the silhouette was more fitted (similar to your black/yellow plaid pants) or grunge (like a wide-leg trouser). I think the fabric, bold color combo, and cinched ankles made them look like a costume and really threw them into the “parachute pant” category lol 😅

    You looked so sunny 70s in the poncho outfit! And, I see the direction you were thinking of going with the capris, which could have been a rockabilly cool look (totally get why you had to abort the original styling, though-- the logistics of being a woman are rough sometimes!).

    I love ponchos, I have a few vintage ones my mom and aunts made in the 70s. I think vintage ponchos just kind of have wild colors bc that was in in the 60s/70s. Also I'm such a fan of
    barrel jeans they make me feel like a classy clown

  • @aliklassen1209
    @aliklassen1209 День назад +5

    I think the reason pieces trend is because they are an easy way to look stylish if you don’t really know how to style things. They usually are an interesting piece that can really only go with basics but appear to be very thought out. I hope that makes sense

  • @SV-vx9ss

    You don't have to wear the coveralls buttoned all the way up just unbutton it a bit and put a cute baby tee under it.
    A lot of these trends have variations so if you like it just find the version that works for you.

    • @teresacarle294
      @teresacarle294 День назад +1

      😎Living in LA, I would definitely buy a lighter weight cotton boiler suit〰️as opposed to a thicker fabric that leans closer to the denim family🥵.
      Personally prefer ¹slouchy & relaxed (vs fitted &/or supersized); ²to avoid fixed elastic at the waist & instead belt it for the best fit; & lastly, ³add a body-con ribbed razorback tank. That way you can leave several buttons open on top for interest. 😬Plus, I would not want to be left in only my bra when using the 🚽facilities.
      😉If I wore a white tank, I would cuff the legs & wear naked socks w/white leather sneakers. If I wore a black tank, I would probably leave them straight w/my black combat boots.
      🪖Loved the dark camo cargo pants in my favorite color palette. Since the pants had more volume, I would probably match it w/a body conturing black ribbed razorback tank that was fully tucked in, & a sheer black button up shirt open over it as a light shacket. Wear black ballet flats in the heat, or black socks & combat boots if it is cool out.
      The gray barrel jeans were quite cute. 🤩Loved Alexa's feminine grunge look, but as an hourglass⏳️figure I would 💯% skip this silhouette. Don't like to wear anything that highlights my width↔️. (That's also why I skip skinny jeans.) Relaxed leg w/a straight cut is more flattering on my frame.
      The ▪️b&w▫️ checkered retro clam diggers were quite 🆒️〰️esp. w/the cropped black tee. Alexa has such a slim, straight little figure. She totally rocked that slim-on-slim outfit proportion.
      FYI RE Capri pants: They are 🇮🇹Italian from the Amalfi Coast🏖. They are a lightweight, loose, soft straight trouser that's cropped✂️ between the bottom of your calf to top of your ankle. They were purposely designed for comfort in ☀️hot temps & to show off the custom leather sandals that the area is known for.

  • @morganqorishchi8181
    @morganqorishchi8181 День назад +3

    The heat is definitely a big part of the problem with the coveralls. The color is good with your complexion and the cut fits your body really well. I live where it's much cooler and I see people wear them with a jacket, a scarf and a bag as a comfy running-errands-all-day outfit, but at 85 degrees that'd be just asking for heat stroke.
    Also I laughed when you said you're not going to move your cat because you're not the Devil. My dad is the same way with his cat. He once stood there working at his desk for an hour because he refused to move the cat off of his office chair. There's just something about the sight of a comfy kitty that makes people's brains go, "well, that's their spot now, not mine."

  • @Emar880ommo

    Besides the voluminous silhouette of the jeans all of your items that are out of your comfort zone are super utilitarian and it makes sense if you do not need those items. A work coverall, soccer jersey, poncho…

    You could jazz the coveralls with some pins/badges on the pockets, maybe a chain style belt? I feel like "styling" usually involves more accessories...lol, but not everyone is into a lot of accessories. I think you gave them all a good try, but sometimes something just isn't your style, and that's ok! ETA: I think the biker jacket actually looks rad with the jersey and skirt combo! xD

    Alexa, you deserved those compliments as you looked stunning even though you felt anxious. My personal favourites were the coveralls and that poncho with your denim skirt and boots. I love my clothes, and I have a huge wardrobe like you, but you know when you have hit the mark when you receive those unexpected remarks. Such a boost. I also think it has to suit the wearer not the starer, but you could be due a change of style and it is fun to branch out and try something different. You never know unless you try so you did exactly that. it is all about experimenting.

    I really like this concept of trying out things that are out of your comfort zone! For outfit ideas especially w new items I really recommend trying the app whering, they have that cool feature from Clueless where you can randomize your clothes like they're in a circular rack and come up with totally new combos. I've played around with it for three months now, and honestly I have so many cool new combos to try that I don't ever even get outfit stress anymore which is so amazing! It's also teaching me so much about why certain things work better as an idea then in reality on my body and has already made me a smarter shopper in general, because I know exactly what I already have enough of and I know more specifically what I need&want in the clothes I buy next.

  • @rattasticDon

    Coveralls are actually super fun to accessorize but not in a typical way! I love wearing mine with martens style boots, bandana in my hair or at the belt loop and since they are usually plain it's really fun to add enamel pins or patches to them!

  • @lestranged

    I haven't worn a poncho since grade school (and I'm 60 now) but I recently thrifted a 100% cashmere poncho in grey and black and I think I will totally wear it when it gets colder. I'm only worried about like layering it with a raincoat or something over it, like how will my arms go into the sleeves. I think it would be great for an airplane outfit because it doubles as a blanket.

    Love the barrel jeans! They look so good on you. I love camo cargo pants. I’m 54 and still wear them. I own a lot of camo cargo pants and I don’t think those camo pants were that nice. There are washed out camo patterns that you might look better. Plus the pants looked really thin. I wear my heavier camo pants with platform court shoes and a tank top under a thin sweatshirt that has a very wide neck opening. Almost off the shoulder It’s a very casual look but it’s a cool, 90s outfit. Top it off with a relaxed fit trucker jacket and it’s 90s perfection.

    One thing with coveralls for me, I need something that gives shape, so sinched in waist but flared bottoms. The belts do help then too as it makes an almost 70s silhouette 😊

  • @lja530

    Maybe the secret to make the barrel leg trend wearable is to chose a pair that's not extreme? I have a pair from Everlane that's just slightly barrel shape and it goes with everything!

    I absolutely adore coveralls and jumpsuits in general but I’ve until recently been very uncomfortable in overalls!

    I think barrel jeans were not the correct fit for your height, body figure etc. In my understanding of the “it” fit they should be definitely longer, narrower, closer to hips and then balloon out from lower point on the leg. So, this might not be the overall item personal appeal problem but difficulty in finding the correct model of the item. Interesting if a different fit of the same item would make a difference. Great video idea and exercise. Provokes a lot of thinking how one thing can throw you completely off even if you like the concept or the other way around. Totally relate to the comfort zone aspect of clothes.

    I donated a few jerseys I had from walking some 5Ks with my company. Since I am retired now for a few years, I figured probably never wear them again. I did keep a couple though.
    I just received a “wide cuffed jean pants with just a bit of distressing” on the front pockets and intend to wear them today. When I tried them on I wasn’t sure if it was “me” but will wear them out of the house and see if I like them more. Just last night I was looking at jean skirts, as I bought some brown knee high boots and that it was a good time to get one for this weather. Most have a long slit in the front, so I’m skipping those. Yours is really cute on you, but for my age, 66, I don’t want it to look like “little house on the prairie.” I’ll keep looking. Maybe I’ll find one at a thrift store and if I decide I don’t like the look after all, donate it.
