      I agree. I wish I had a quarter of her ability to “see” things and ad lib. And the ability to know what vintage pieces are worth getting (if you’re lucky enough to find them thrifting) yet incorporate new pieces.

    I’ve basically done this for yrs….didn’t know it would have a name one day. I just called it mixing and matching. I’d funk up/boho a pretty classic look. It’s always worked for me because I’m a little boho, but also traditionally classic for certain occasions. I guess I’ve always just been ME.

    I used to do this in my 20's when I was into a lot of sports... Casual from the waist down (kayaking, biking, running, dog walking) and ready for dinner from the waist up (sitting)!! I just now have to mix it up a bit, but I was always drawn to wearing a bit of both as I am still very active. Who knew that's what I was doing? Now I can do it more consciously. Thank you for another wonderful video!

    I love this concept! I saw so many women practicing this 2 x 2 outfit formula in Paris last summer. I just didn’t realize that’s what it was or how to copy the look. Now that I know, I will definitely be implementing it with my wardrobe. Thanks!😊

    So funny how I was doing the exact same thing this week, pairing smarter looking clothes with more casual ones and loved the effect. At one time I put on a flowery, flowy maxi dress with boots and a trench coat then changed the shoes to pink sneakers and the coat into a short puffy vest and it looked so modern and chic at the same time I got so many compliments on the outfit. Since watching your videos I have created so many amazing outfits from just my regular old clothes, it really helps me not shop at all only from my closet. Thank you so much, you are such an inspiration!

    I love how you pair these things with so much thought. I covet that aqua mint? Cardigan! Definitely going on my list for winter add ones to closet. Sadly living in Houston stops those of us NOT having to dress for the super too cold AC in buildings from dressing like this. Totally the way I love to dress, but will have to move back to Canada. 😂Counting down the days for that! I would love to see you style some clothes for our average summer heat. ( 34-38C, 90-100.4 F). Stylish and polished and sweating just is not an easy task… thank you for your videos. They are superb!

  • @rebeccab_bwlt
    @rebeccab_bwlt Před rokem +4

    So, I think the 2x2 does work, but really shines when the different elements are broken up: when the pieces were next to each other, it seemed you expressed more difficulty finding your desired vibe. Monday was my favorite, then Friday (THE COLOR OF THE SWEATER!), then Thursday. Also, I rarely get shopping itch re: bags, but that Milo bag… 😍

      I don't pay attention to it too much - i'll put it on and if it looks good, i'll go with it, and if something is off i'll see if the cool/warm tones are the issue! I think they work well together if they are in the same or similar hues like blue/turquoise if that makes sense!

    Oh, I love this. This is really my style - laid-back casual chic. It works for every occasion when you're unsure if it is dressy or not. I usually get it wrong. :) Most of my friends love a dress for a fancy party, but I've always loved the idea of a smoking suit, for example, with a sequined cami and pointed-toe shoe. I hated these cropped flared jeans when they hit the market, but I see now it is because I don't know how to style them! Thank you for your channel in general and your supportive messaging. We all deserve to be stylish.

    My formula
    Step 1; 2x2 formula
    Plus
    Step 2; Acquire slim figure and lose my bust and bum which make everything I wear stick out like a tent. Next, grow a couple of inches taller. I’m 5’2 and have a natural BBL and 32F chest which makes nice clothing hard to find.
    Step 3; Acquire larger disposable income to invest in a wardrobe full of clothes I can shop from to compile such outfits.
    ( I have like 5 dresses. 1 skirt, and a couple of kimono cover up things. Can’t wear jeans or trousers as none on the highstreet were made that fit my difficult shape everything is in black/neutral so I can mix and match without it showing how little I have and how often I’m rewearing items. I also dress very conservative to keep everything covered up.)
    I’d love to find a style that suits me but have no idea where to begin. I have no idea how to dress my shape. I see all these tall, slim, straight bodies everywhere and to me they look so, good and so much more comfortable and I can only imagine how much simpler getting dressed would be and how much more confident I’d feel if I didn’t have so much ‘baggage’.
    Often, I think about the possibility of having reduction surgery for my ‘assets.’ Think a Kim k figure, but natural so I also have the chunky thighs to support it and my chest is stretch marked and floppy as opposed to sticking out like perfect balloons 😩 and it all wobbles without support. It literally blows my mind how people paid money and chose that for themselves while I’m over here desperate to shed them so I can find clothes that fit and feel good.
    I guess we all want what we can’t have but man, I need some help. Girls think I’m short and fat, and if I’m not with my husband guys just think it’s something they can grab. I just want to style some cool outfits. Maybe I should just get a doll… haha

    I love Sézane & it was so fun to see how you paired & sized their pieces - please continue this collab! I also have the Barry cardigan in that green on my Favorites list but wasn’t sure about the color until I saw it on you! We have very similar coloring, so I loved seeing not only that piece but your other outfits as well. New subscriber here & looking forward to checking out your other videos! 💕

    The Chloe shirt is so iconic, I noticed it immediately when I clicked on the video.
