Thank you so much to everyone who joined the live chat today! Would you like to do this more often?
Yes - it was fun. Like a short shop your closet event (I'm Keri, when I come to those!)
Def, could def use this. I overpack because I am always cold. Also a bit of a challenge (though I really loved this as when I think of it I can probably do something similar with my wardrobe) how would you do this with a) diffrent personal styles b) a riot of colours c) big conference where you are the speaker - would you change anything?
Just found you! You are the absolute cutest!! You are genuine, transparent, and don’t take yourself or your style too seriously. It’s very appealing and the fact that you have great style intuition is the big cherry on top for me. I look forward to following and binge watching previous videos. Cheers!!
For travel, I usually pack a capsule with 2 "main" colors: blue and white for summer, beige and black (or gray and black) for winter. But then, I play with "values" of the same color. The whites can become ecru or flax, and the blues vary from navy to royal. The grays appear in a range, from charcoal to silver-dove, the beige moves between cream and camel, and for the black, I rely on varying the silhouette and texture to bring interest. As you wisely said, accessories make a difference. I choose contrasting ones: white sneakers or blue-printed ballet flats. Black ankle boots or brown riding boots? I add a scarf, and one piece in a complimentary pattern (a shirt with gray stripes or black-and-white houndstooth in winter; a printed silk top or a flowy dress in shades of blue in summer) and voila, I have all I could possibly need, in an infinite number of combinations.
What a great idea! I might have to steal this! ❤
@autumnzellers3855 Thank you! I find that if I have 2 main colors, I feel there's enough variety for my taste, while keeping things incredibly simple: dark with dark, dark with light, or light with light. (Winter: Black top and bottoms, cream top and gray plaid bottoms, white top and light tan bottoms. This will make at last another 6 combinations for a total of nine. Add a jacket, 2 scarves, and an awesome wool hat, and it looks like I packed 2 suitcases, when in fact, it all fits in a large tote bag.)
Thank for sharing! This is awesome!!!
I would love a video on how you take care of your pieces when you are traveling with a small capsule. Do you launder? Do you have a refresh spray? Steam or iron? I think that would be really helpful to know how to refresh items so you aren't wearing something wrinkly or sweaty.
yes agreed...I am generally a sweaty person, so i always need a fresh t-shirt or undergarment each day.
I love how you use pieces that you already have in your wardrobe! You are always so inspiring to me, and saving me a lot of money in the process!❤
oh my gosh thank you!
Please don't apologize for not being "basic" or "not ground breaking!" I loved all the looks and this was super inspiring to me because I have similar items in my closet to work with. (Well, ok, not a leather mini. 😉)
yay thank you!b
I am learning to be an outfit repeater from your videos. I am weaning myself from buying outfits to building a wardrobe of great pieces that work together. Thank you. You are a good teacher!
You're so darling, Alyssa. Thank you for sharing your feelings about your outfits, in addition to the super cool outfit selection! "Why DIDN'T I wear this? I think I was a little shy." I totally relate!!!! Thank you for this very fun video!
Agreed. That was a deep insight and I was thankful that Alyssa spoke it out loud...to us.
Learning: Always bring a skin-tight layer along with a bigger-loose layer so as to have layering option. And really enjoyed this video with your thought process re. a capsule carry-on/travel. I normally pack, oh...4 times too much clothing, mostly because I do road trips. So, why not bring all of that extra clothing, I ask. BUT, it still complicates my thinking and my car. Thank you for this video!
Love your style and your ethics when it comes to fashion, Alyssa.
Question for you though, why oh why do designers and brands almost always exclusively go for gold hardware on belt, purses, shoes, buttons, etc? I love your Brave belt but I only wear white gold/silver/stainless steel... Why is there no white(-ish) hardware options?
We get a choice of colours when it comes leather and fabrics, why not in hardware?
I can, and often do, change out buttons on coats, blazers, etc, but other hardware are so frustrating!!!
This was so inspiring to me!! My partner has been wanting to take more spontaneous weekend trips and I feel a little stressed on what to bring on short notice. I’m now building my own 8 piece travel capsule! Can’t wait to test it out!
Yayyyyy you need to come to Toronto more often ❤❤❤❤
I am currently vacationing in France and I never check bags because I’m terrified they will lose it. Unfortunately the first day of our trip was delayed 24 hours because of airplane mechanical problems. Our flights were all rescheduled 24 hours but several people on the flight that had checked their bags were told that they weren’t sure where there luggage was. This just confirmed for me to NEVER check bags.
oh noooo 100% i have stopped checking bags! xx
I have the same fear. My check-in bag is always for things like toiletries, hairdryer (I always travel with my own because I hate the low-powered ones in hotel rooms) - things I can afford to lose. My clothes go in the carry-on. I've spent years curating my wardrobe...it would hurt me to lose any of my clothes.
Sometimes you have to check a bag at the gate. I have an under seat roller and a largish tote. I check my carry on size bag. If I'm THAT worried about my luggage I ship it via mail in the $21 boxes at the post office. I usually have a 'burner' old suitcase to check the items I buy when stateside. I'm not traveling just so I can stress about my stuff. I do like to watch videos to see what other people take that I might like.
The first skirt look was awesome. When it comes to fashion, I think it’s good to go out of your comfort zone occasionally. Thanks for your videos Alyssa, they are fabulous, as are you!
Even if you wore a curtain you'd still look amazing! I know very few people like that. Tks for your inspirations!
I just love how you are so "easy like Sunday morning" 🎵 🎶 ❤
I love your Style so much - it is so basic and wonderfull!! 🤩
This was fun! I love the challenge of a travel capsule and I agree with and am impressed by this one. Great job (again), Alyssa! The only thing I would do differently is either substitute or add a pair of black pants to make your capsule even more versatile.
I tried on a pair of jeans and the fit was amazing. I just didnt like the ankle cut, but here i am seeing you wear them with boots and now i regret not getting them😅 i love the jeans with the boots look!
Perfect wardrobe! Another fabulous video.. thanks
Loved this! Especially the tip about adding in texture. I’m going to start paying attention to that more as I plan for my next trip. Thanks!
Thank you, Alyssa! I am always looking for ideas to pack lighter while staying stylish when travelling. Have a blessed week! ❤
so happy this helped thank you for watching!
...and I ALWAYS bring at least one big scarf/wrap/Turkish Towel with me when travelling. So versatile...any season! ❤
amazing vibes & outfit solutions. Minimal & Sass all the way 🥰
yessss thanks for watching! xx
You are absolutely adorable! I'm constantly smiling watching your videos!❤ Pure joy😊
Perfect timing! I'm leaving on a 4 day long weekend trip this week 🙂I'm basically copying your list except my wardrobe neutrals are browns and blues and my only leather is a pair of Chelsea boots. I had a lot of fun watching. Thanks for sharing!
Love your simple outfits, chilled indeed. Also Love the all the black too. You really inspiring thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching!
Wow! I loved your video. I also have a black leather jackect, a beige trench and a similar pair of jeans but I had never thought of wearing the jacket and the trench together. Great idea! Specially for travelling.I love how you hang on to good quality stylish pieces instead of having thousands of cheap stuff.
I really LOVE the fact that your moto jacket was made of something OTHER than leather or suede. The idea of layering the wool moto under the trench was GREAT!
That was so simple yet amazing! Thank you!
I love this! I’ve been wondering what to wear on my up coming 3day travel for work.
Love all the looks you managed to get out of these few items. I have the same sezane skirt, so it's nice to see how you style it! I've only worn in once so far and it was also an all black outfit. I wore high heeled square toe ankle boots and I felt overdressed, so next time I will go with a flat ankle boot and an oversized jacket to make it more edgy and less feminine :)
A perfect small travel capsule and a big inspiration my next short trip 👍. Especially the combi of jacket and coat looks cool and can be worn on a flight ☺ Thank you soo much for your super input - big hugs from Germany
yay! So glad you found it helpful!
Hi Alyssa! Would u film a video showing us your jewelry and watch collection? I get so inspired for your jewelry!! Love it!! Thx❤
Thank you for the suggestion!
So good!! So good!!
I enjoyed this sooooo much!! My kind of clothing, my kind of styling, I love neutral minimalism with an edge 😍. Can definitely use this inspo on an upcoming weekend away, with a warmer coat.
Good Sunday morning Alyssa! Great video, once again. I love Toronto. It reminds me a lot of Chicago, my home town. Have a wonderful week!
agreed-toronto is awesome!
Love the all-black outfits! Beautiful combinations - and comfy. Alyssa, it's not really "all black", you also carried mid wash jeans and a light color trench coat, plus the scarf. In my book, this is pretty colorful...😀
Love this video, great inspiration. ❤
Loved!! So good!!
Always super chic. 👍
Great video. Super helpful!
Preparing to travel to cooler temps this was what I needed thanks:-*
Great video. I wish I could pack as lean as you. On my last 3 day trip I did only bring 3 pairs of shoes and ended up using almost all of the clothes that I packed which made me feel good. I don’t think I’ll ever be super minimalist, but I’m trying to learn how to look at my clothes as elements of style rather than a bunch of random pieces.
Love it!
Hi Alyssa, perfect capsule wardrobe for a long weekend. It is very challenging as we are in the transitional weather. I also choose basic neutral colours and that way I would pack around the main one colour whether it be black, gray, navy, camel, or cream /white depending on the season. As we all know, footwear takes up so much room especially in luggage. I’m a Longchamps Le Pliage fan, so my XS purses and totes have been a life saver with my carryon wheeled luggage especially for train/plane travel.🌎❤️🇨🇦
oooh i've been looking at the longchamps for smaller trips!
A little shy! Lol you are adorable ;)
love the boring basics - these turn into amazing outfits
thank you! xx
Thats a great look , hi and low is the best always in my opinion
I appreciate your key point- bring your favorites. I struggle with what to bring on trips and your statement was a light bulb moment for me. Thanks!
yesss! Glad it helped! xx
I love your style. I just wish I could find someone here to help me declutter my wardrobe that is out of control. I lost a sister and inherited all of her items from Europe, then a girlfriends mother who modeled in Paris and my own thrifting. I need someone to help get rid of all this stuff.
@@andreastewart1701 It sounds like you may work most effectively with company or a team. Would you consider paying for the services of a Wardrobe Organizing Professional? Especially one whose communication style worked for you. They have the skills to see the issues more clearly than us - where emotions and 'decision fatigue' can be a factor. Typically what they would do is first identify your aims and objectives - what scale of wardrobe would you ideally like to have? They advise whether a half-day, full day, or more visits would be needed, with a quote for costs. One bonus is assisting you with pieces that could be sold - thus returning some funds back to you, if that's a consideration.
Yr the queen of capsule wardrobe! Im such an overpacker especially with accessories, need about 5 handbags my fav. Tip I just discovered, for travelling, wear dresses
This capsule is 10/10!
I'm back from a few days out of town and I chose black as well, with a touch of grey. We were three ladies and I had the smallest bag!😊
Hi Alyssa, please do more copy her style videos, I love those. I don't travel much myself so less interested in these travel capsule videos. Thank you lovely.
Lol, right… you seem to have lost your tights lol. And, you’re a bit shy… Oh, you make me laugh so hard, very fun video. Love all the outfits. They’ve inspired a few ideas of my own. Thanks so much. Oh yeah… I love the opening emoji with the colourful flowers set against the all black outfits. Very cool.
As a person with a rainbow wardrobe, I have enough clothing in certain colors to wear a colorful capsule. Mix in match is still the way to go!
I love this!
Alyssa, I always like to watch your videos for inspiration. However, the item you called a scarf is actually a blanket, which you used as a giant scarf! Quite innovative. 😊
I like to make capsule wardrobe as small as possible when traveling, I take it as a challenge. I love this type of videos. ❤ Also I am jealous of you trench coat, I've been looking for a similar one (with thicker lining) for a long time.
Fun video!
Love the skirt with the trench ❤
Totally can get behind the travel capsule. Especially like the big scarf😅, so handy for so many reasons. On the whole the capsule saves a lot of space and aggravation. The only thing I would change are the jeans. I like my jeans or other bottoms to have some spandex. The wider crop leg seems a tad too casual. I’d prefer a darker wash with spandex and a straight cut. I think one gets more mileage form a tad dressier Jean. In jeans the spandex avoids the baggy knee that happens with a few days of wear in jeans without it. It also is more comfortable for me to wear. I agree with your friend..wearing the skirt for a late day get together, no matter how casual, seems more appropriate.
The skirt looks good
Love love love
Less is more, really is MORE! Great video, I must admit, I am SOOOO jealous of your legs!! Dang I wish mine were shaped like that, mine are swimmers or gymnast bulky shaped, but they work, that’s the important part 😂😂
Love your styling.... may I ask the brand of the boots?
You look great in basics
Can never go wrong with black and denim.
This was a great video! Thanks for sharing! Love the skirt looks!! So upscale and cute! Those jeans just don’t do it for me. They either need to be shorter or longer, especially because they are wide bottom. Just my own taste, I guess. I am old school and see the short pants as "flooders".
Would love more like this. How about some ideas for holiday dressing using just a few items in a variety of ways? I have quite a few basics and a few special items. Just want to be able to put together a few looks and feel great! I think I have enough clothes, just need inspiration….
I would love to see this! I travel to see family at the winter holidays. Would be great to see ideas for creating lots of looks... both dressy and casual...with a limited capsule.
@@pamelakellow4225 while I don’t travel we do host a few functions and there are others that I go to. Alyssa would be so helpful in reducing my stress about what to wear.
@@pamelakellow4225 The Canadian variety tv show, Cityline, ran a creative fashion piece last holiday season (2022). The presenting stylist was from memory a man. I thought he did a great job, and on a budget! Lots of multi-ways outfit ideas and lots of sparkle for the festive events. (I hope Alyssa will not mind an off-channel recommendation here.)
Love this capsule wardrobe. Im at my boyfriend house every 2 week-end and packing is always à nightmare.😅
I need casual, chic ,maybe if we go out, maybe if I do sport, maybe...😂
Perfection.
I travelled to Italy for 2 weeks at the end of September and I repeated many outfits. Less stressful having fewer items to pack.
I like the all-black look #2 - Sweater with the mini skirt was the best!! (Perfect for NYC where I live) My belts always like to twist around when I don't have belt loops. Any tricks on how to keep it in one place?
I love the idea of a capsule travel wardrobe. But i could never wear the same thing again without washing it. Its a me thing. So unfortunately i have to carry 1 outfit for everyday that im travelling. 15day travel- 15outfits😢
I love the vibe and it's so useful for us spontaneous travellers (or those who dream of being them...)
I can't help but am still calculating what you had in your carry-on as it seems you wore everything except for the skirt and sneakers on your way there!! :D
Didn't you take a lighter top or T-shirt to put underneath the sweater? when I think 'layers' I immediately think of a lighter bottom + a heavier top, but maybe I am wrong xD
Also, does it not feel heavy to layer several outerwear pieces?
I love how the layers look but I am not sure I would be able to move under sweater + jacket + trench or a similar combination...
Love you.❤️❤️❤️
I like it a lot.
Can you also do one for winter travel wardrobe for a week
Thank you!
Really inspiring capsule 😊 I wonder why you didn't bring your asics instead of the nikes?
I like to just bring a few pieces. I had a pair of ankle pants as a main piece. The first evening my friend spilt his wine. It stained my pants. I made do with my other pieces.
Love your videos! You're getting international attention now, so research what "Fanny" means in New Zealand/ Australia! ;) Yes you brought your fanny with you! ;o
Where do you suggest shopping in Porto and Lisbon? I'm heading there soon as well as Southern Spain if you have any recs? Ty😊
Curious what you did with your two coats after you got on the plane. How did you arrive without your trench looking like a crumpled mess? 11:00
Hi, the leather boots looks lovely! Could you tell us where to get it?
Hi, love your style. I was wondering if you could give some tips on how to wear blazers but more so the fit. I just purchased a blazer and although the shoulders fit it feels tight across and lifting my arms are not even an option. would I size up and give my already broad shoulders a more linebacker look or do I just suffer with the arms down look.
This is a great question ... from what i am reading it could be because the arm hole of the blazer is too high or not big enough. This would be a lot of work but might be able to be worked by a tailor or seamstress. In general, it's easier to size up and have items altered vs. the other way around. I hope this helps!
Can you tell us where the boots are from? Love them
Got cut off because the chat ended... Dressing for sudden size changes - I've recently put on a bit of weight (gone up about two dress sizes) which means some of my favourite things no longer fit. So either going up/down in size over a fairly short period of time?
@Teverell Can relate! 😉 I guess it depends on both the season and occasion. Knitted dresses have been a good option in Fall/Winter. And pieces that either wrap, have shirring elastic or alot of stretch for Spring/Summer.
The problem for me with travel capsule wardrobes is the washing of the items. If you dont have tshirt to have under , close to the skin, then you will have to wash your tops especially, and also if there is only pair of pants, then what if you get stains/dirt on them, especially when travelling. In general that is my problem with capsule wardrobes, there a need for too frequent washing with that few items, and that is not ecological nor economical, unless you do it by hand every time, and I dont have time for that. So while I agree with fewer and better items, a true capsule wardrobe with only 5 -6 tops, too much washing too often… 😒, at least for me. Enjoy your time 😊
I’ve begun to use laundromats wherever I go. Usually you will find somewhere nearby. I usually look online in advance and plan ahead. I wash small things in my room and once a week I spend a few hours of time in a laundromat. It’s quite restful actually. You can take little walks around, have a coffee. People are friendly and it has become part of my travel experiences.
I live in FL and only travel to same temp climate ie Asia, MX and FL so never need coat(s) however I do use a vest or unlined blazer/jacket/cardi or scarf/pashmina for a finished piece. Please respond back for more options 🙏 Thank you.
Alyssa, I absolutely love your style, it’s my preferred choice but, I find it hard sometimes to pull off the silhouettes.
You see, I am very petite 4.11” and 115lbs, and am 58 though I feel so much younger and am told constantly that I look like I’m in my early 40s.
I get conflicting fashion advice in regards to creating a taller stature……no cropped pants, no color block, nothing past the waist. It’s exhausting and it all makes me look boxy and frumpy.
Any suggestions?
A bit older at 5' 1" I find either doing a wide short top with naarrow/straight bottom, or slim top with wide bottom makes the most difference. I also avoid ditsy prints, ruffles and embelishment.
@minarosa-diaz2592 As I was reading your gorgeous Vital Statistics 😊, I was reminded of the pinup gals from old Hollywood in the 1940s-1950s. Such as Betty Grable. Many of those ladies were also diminutive - but they were styled with all the cinematic tricks. Like hair piled up - adds an inch or two, and exposes a lengthened neck. Platform Shoes!! It's interesting that the silhouettes described by @lynnfox8376 here can also be found in the movie fashions of that 40s-50s era.
❤👍🏼
I’m a little confused by the Moto jacket. Are they outer wear or a completer piece?
Alyssa, the link for your belt doesn’t work. I was able to search the site and find it, but just wanted to let you know. 👍🏻
Just came back from Mexico City and was there for 5 days. I brought 2 dresses, 1 pair of black leggings, 1 black t-shirt, 1 black sweater, 1pair of black booties, 1 pair of sandals and pajama set all in my carry-on. I wore on the plane...beige jeans w black belt, denim jacket, striped black t-shirt and tennis shoes. The thing that kills me is that I also take my kindle, IPad, cellphone +chargers and make-up bag with of course toothpaste, floss and shaver. I think I have the packing the clothes part down but how do you pack all the other stuff? Unfortunately, my bag burst on the way home from Mexico City...not because of clothets but because of chargers, etc! 😊😊😊
Your bigger bag link (convertible backpack?) is not working. Thoughts? Huge thanks in advance!
I keep seeing these fabulous jeans on you - anyone know the details?
Where did you get your purse/backpack?
What are the stocking you have on? Were they not included in what you packed? (Unless your legs are that color compared to the rest of what we can see! 😅)
Alyssa, love your jeans! I’m looking for a loose fit jean and would like to spend under $100. Anyone, please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thank you for another amazing video!
I got mine from Walmart in the Scoop line. Very budget-friendly. 😊
A little bit of constructive criticism: The jeans are cute with the heeled boots, but I think they’re awful with the tennis shoes. And the heeled boots would look much better if they were fitted in the calves. I think it’s such a mistake to wear leather boots like wellies. Thank you for your ideas, the rest of the capsule wardrobe was great. ❤
So basic, yet so stylish.
