🙋♀️ IMPORTANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS CHANNEL 🙋♀️
Please know that I began my ethical fashion journey in mid-2020 and am still learning new things every day. My aim is to build a community here on CZcams that is passionate about style but wants to pursue it consciously and ethically.
I encourage you to explore shopping ethical & sustainable brands or those brands that are at least making progress (if these options are available to you). I also encourage you to shop second-hand as much as possible, whether that be at thrift shops or online like Depop, Vestiaire Collective & Facebook Marketplace. Do your best to be kind to people and the planet and you will be rewarded greatly ♥️
On this channel, I like to share fashion styling tips, outfit ideas and sustainable fashion tips. My motto is #BuyLessWearMore and is a friendly reminder to us all to buy less new things and wear more of what we already own.
#SlowFashion is a journey and I thank you for being on it with me!
Lots of love xx
Emily

I love that you walk us through your decisions, talking to us real time and showing us a video at the same time as you layer. It's less "I am the all-knowing influencer" and more "we're all in this together, let's work it through together".
I just happened upon her channel but this is actually why I subscribed.
I really like these types of videos, where you elevate basics that most people already have. Great job putting together gorgeous looks, and extra points to you for the variety of style "types" you model!
🙏🏽 thank you Hannah. I am going to try make more videos like this 🥰♥️ x
I live in Africa and so glad I got a fashion blogger sharing the same seasons as I do. Love your channel! :)
Aw thank you lovely!! Xx 🥰♥️
I’m so happy to learn that Tencel is a fabric that’s okay to reach for. Love the looks.
Yes absolutely 🥰 and it feels so beautiful on the skin 💕😍 thank you Bonnie x
loving the slow fashion
Dress for the mood. I so agree.
Emily, I really appreciate and enjoy how you share your reasons for your style choices and your micro-adjustments like cuffing your jeans just a tiny bit to show the black strap on your sandles. It helps me to understand how to apply the concepts to my outfits.
In a comment that someone else left, you mentioned that you are trying to figure out your "blabbering on". I TOTALLY DON'T think you are, in fact, it's the most helpful part. I mean, I definitely learn from SEEING HOW you style things, but for me, the HEARING HOW you make decisions about your styling choices is soooo beneficial. So please don't stop verbalising your inner workings of putting stylish outfits together.
All outfits are simple but chic and nicely put together. Great vid as always.
🙏🏽 thank you lovely 💕💕💕🌸 x
Such a great video Emily! Sometimes I find myself wondering what I can do to elevate my basics, and this was the answer + great sustainable tips! X
My favourite outfit is the last one... beautiful lavender cardigan :)
Aw thanks gorge, such a lovely cardi, super lucky to find that one 💜 x
All these looks were amazing. I love them all, especially the little slip dress with the lavender cardigan. I love vintage pieces and I enjoyed seeing you rock that outfit... especially the lovely earrings. I'm going to give that look a try for sure. You are such a sweet soul. Thank you for all you do. ❤❤❤
Thank you Alma 🥰🙏🏽 oh I love how the last look turned out as well, so sweet, I surprised myself with that one 😋💕 thank you for watching and commenting, it means a lot xx
Yes, I agree, the dress with the mauve cardigan and beige shoes was beautiful.
My favorite is the linen outfit. I have all those pieces. Off to style them like that... Thanks for the inspiration!
Oh yay! I’m so glad. Have fun experimenting! 🥰♥️ thanks for watching! Xx
I like everything in this video. I particularly like the relaxed black jeans. I realised they are the kind I wore every day as my uniform pants at work. I threw the work ones but because of the comfort I bought a pair for other than work
For those of us living in the north hemisphere and love the silk scarf trend but don’t know how to incorporate into the wardrobe, would love to see a look book inspired by silk scarves from summer to fall❤️
I love this! I could watch one of these every week! These tips make all the difference helping me avoid frumpy and instead feel modern and chic! xx
♥️🥰🙏🏽 thank you lovely!! I’m gonna aim to make more like this! Just gotta work on how much I blabber on 😅 😋 xx
Me too❤😊
I could agree more fashion is really an expression of what you feel at the moment 😍 I love your style!
Love all the outfits. My favourite was the linen shorts and shirt.
Thanks Susan ❤️🥰 I surprised myself with that outfit, I love it too, can’t wait to wear it out when the weather warms up! 💕 xx
Hi Emily that hair tie side tuck for sweaters is genius! Thanks so much!
Super helpful, love this video and love your style!
Really love your approach. It’s very attainable and inspiring. My closet is mainly black and love it that way but have learned so much from your channel!
Loved loved LOVED this!!! I made the suggestion in the survey to make videos about how you make normal looking clothes look beautifully matched, because that's what I struggle the most with! Mondaine clothes being lifted up! Ty so much for this 🤗
!!! Yay! Thank you!! 🙏🏽 So glad it helped and it was on par with what you asked for 🥰 I’ll try to make a lot more like this, I really enjoyed making this ♥️ xx
Love the looks! 👏
Thanks Debra 🌸💕🙏🏽 x
Love love love the striped tee and linen shorts outfit- great Parisian vibe. Would be really cute too with a red bag as the pop!
I really enjoyed watching this video, all the outfits are amazing! Please make more videos like this one
Thank you so much lovely! I definitely am aiming to make more like this ♥️🙏🏽 xx
I loved your ideas ,Emily!👌🏻🥰🥰
I work at Abercrombie and I definitely do this with my outfits from there I put different pieces from there clothes with other brands as well too to make it look good.
I love the vibe of your videos, really like the outfit ideas and I agree that dressing how feel works for me too, just as listening to music according to my mood :)
Thank you so much lovely 🥰♥️♥️ sounds like we’re on the same page! X
Uau!!! This linen suit look is so creative and awesome 🤩👏
Thanks gorge 🥰 I actually surprised myself with this one 😋 you never know what’s going to happen when you experiment! Hope you are well ♥️😘 x
I really like these types of videos and you did very good on explain your rationing on why you did on adding or adjusting a garment. Love that Fanta made his appear in the video. He s so adorable. Fashion is body art and expression of the vibe of the wearer. That is why t important not to get to sucked into only wearing what is trending. I love the lavender cardigan what a great thrift find. Can not wait to see your next video. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come.
Thank you Denise 😌💕🥰🙏🏽 I completely agree about not just focusing on trends, but focussing on who you truly are.
I think Fanta was the real star of the show today 😆🐱🥰 😌 thank you for watching xx
@@EmilyElizabethMay Is Fanta a Maine coon? We have one but he mixed but still a very large cat but grey
The navy strip and shorts are adorable on u❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🙏❤️ thank you!!
Hi Emily, i loved this video. I live in QLD and shorts and tee are our uniform here so it was great to see how to elevate that look, i will def be trying that, love stripy tshirts and linen. I also loved the slip dress outfit, so cute!
Aw 🙏🏽 thank you lovely. I can’t wait till it warms up a little more here and I can wear those looks out 😍💕 good luck experimenting with the linen shirt and shorts look ♥️ xx
Love love love every one and same I have always had an eclectic style because I always dressed for my mood also love this new way with your videos very helpful and fun watching you create them how you created them much love and appreciation ❤️💕
You’re so pretty Emily♥️
I love your content
Wow thank you.
This is a great video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I really feel like this is what I am lacking…
Thank you lovely. I will try to make more like this ♥️🙏🏽 if you feel like this is the area you’re lacking/struggling with, don’t be afraid to just experiment with styling in the privacy of your own bedroom. I often stumble across my favourite outfits when I am experimenting for filming these videos! 💕 xxx
This video was very essential, inspirational and interesting ✨ thank you Emily ❤️
P.S. I liked yr floral dress 🌸
Aw thank you so much 🙏🏽♥️ I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🌸💐😘 xxx
Love your black outfit 🖤😍
lots of good tips here!
🥰🙏🏽 thank you lovely! X
Aww kitty scared of leather jacket 😂 im always too fancy around my peers, so I appreciate ur styling tips to make basic stuffs look great.
Bless him 🐱😆 he even gets scared when I hold it on the hanger 🤷♀️😅🥲🥰 thank you for watching lovely ❤️xxx
Another very inspiring video! Loved all of your outfits. I am much older than you are but I get a lot of inspiration from your style. For example, I would wear the slip dress in a midi version. Love to see Fanta in your videos!
🥰♥️ thank you so much for your support, im so glad you enjoyed the video. Ooo I would love to see a midi version of that dress!! 🐱 let’s be honest, Fanta was the star of the show today wasn’t he?! ⭐️ 🥰 xx
@@EmilyElizabethMay He definitely is, lol! I love seeing him in your videos. He is such a star!
Dude, I was literally googling “how to elevate basic outfits” last night!! I can’t believe how well-timed this is!
Haha I love it! So glad it’s timely for you 🥰 I hope you enjoyed it xx
I love how u style
Great ideas for outfits, love your style. 🇺🇸💛
Thanks so much Pam 🥰 I’m glad you enjoyed it♥️
Very helpful, thank you. Please more e.g. adding jackets
When I used to work as fashion and portrait photographer, all black outfits are almost required because of the obvious issue of self-reflection issue in mirrors or other reflective surfaces. Other than all black is cool. 😎
😃😍 Oh your gorgeous smile! Makes me smile everytime Emily. I loved your outfits. Fanta is hilarious, ginger cats have unique personalities 🧡 The last outfit was super feminine and cute. Each one, as you said, reflects a different mood, I really like that line of thought. The gold chunky chain looked great on you too. I'm a fan of tensel, feels so light and breathable. Gosh, I struggle to find comfortable knickers. Never know what the best cut is for my figure! Cheek coverage seems to be an issue too 🙄🤔 TMI?? 😆
Loved the first outfit and cuffing the jeans made a huge difference 😮
Also loved the all black outfit, (sorry Fanta). Stay safe and well Emily. Thank you as always 😊🤍🖤🧡
Aw 🥰 you are too kind, Kate. Thank you 🥰😌 lol Fanta was too cute in this video. He just wanted to get involved!
Haha I have struggled with underwear too in the past 😆 I think every bum can tolerate a different cut/shape 😋🥰 I’m pretty happy with these briefs!
Thanks fo me watching lovely 🥰 stay safe xx ♥️♥️♥️
@@EmilyElizabethMay 😊💚
Emily, I follow a few slow fashion advocates, but I love you the most, because I also live in Sydney, and it’s so much more exciting to see you style clothes and brands that I recognise. I particularly enjoyed your lockdown comment about where everybody is going in their cars 😂
Ohh thank you!! ♥️ 🥰 a fellow lockdowned Sydney-sider 👋🏽 I hope you’re doing okay 😌 hehe I yelled at those cars a lot during the video (probably just people off to their jobs 🤣) xxx
@@EmilyElizabethMay I totally get it. I’m in Blacktown, one of the severely restricted local government areas, so yelling at people leaving home in their cars is practically an Olympic sport at the moment 😜
I love all these outfits!!! The purple cardy looks great! and the beaded bag and those earrings...(are they heavy?) Stay safe during lockdown!
Thank you!!! 🥰🙏🏽 surprisingly no, the earrings are not heavy at all! Lucky! 😍🧚🏽♀️ xx
Laughed so much at the kitty...hilarious.
HI 🙋🏻♀️ I really that french style shorts and striped top so chic 👋 and that vintage so cute.
I absolutely love al the looks...just a note I think you should change the round toed shoes for pointy.Time to store our round shoes till they come back on trend.
It may be your modelling background wearing a lot of different styled outfits, or maybe the culture of your city or habits of the people around you, but it seems so natural for you to wear the different styles.
I love many of your suggestions, but personally I can't get over the imposter syndrome when styling outfits. The outfit might look cute or cool on me, but somehow I feel like I'm trying to hard or that I'm dressed to be in a play or something, so I end up down-styling it again to the basic and bland look.. I especially get this feeling whenever I try to wear hats!
Am I the only one in here feeling like this or is there someone else who maybe have recovered from this feeling and have some tips on how to move past it? 🙏💕
Wonderful and realistic styling, I like how your suggestions are practical and yet elevate the every day.
By the way, you linked many of the items but I did not see the delightful light heels from 16:46 (your pretty floral dress outfit) in them, would you mind sharing the name of the shoe/brand or where similar styles can be found? They look very elegant.
Thanks for all your great content
Thank you so much ♥️🙏🏽✨
Oh sorry! These heels are old ones from Everlane but they don’t make them anymore ♥️ i only link to similar brands if I can find them ethically/sustainably made and I haven’t found any similar from conscious brands yet. Hopefully I will soon✨🤞 xx
Hi Emily! Love your style and videos! FYI the link to the oversized white dress shirt is not working. Could you update/share? Even if you know of a similar style? Love the length of it! Thank you 🙏🏻
Love love your channel....your black bag 😍love it where is it from?
🥰♥️🙏🏽 thank you so much. Oh this black bag was 2nd hand off Depop!! 😬 no brand tag on it either! Sorry ☹️😌💕
Hi Emily, so nice this Video. Can you please tell me, where I can buy this nice black bag, it is like the gucci bag 🥰
Do you wear nail polish, what colors do you wear if you do
You are so pretty
where is the black bag from?
Hello Emily I am looking for a show like you cream ones you wore with you dress. Can you help me? I live in the US I’d love a pair of red or black 🙂
Hi Fanta Paws!😊❤🐈
How tall are you dear? I'm about 5'10" and have trouble with length
Cool vídeo. More …. Show us more ideas
I love your style tips but because you are so gorgeously slim nothing would look the same on me.
also where are the deets for the slip dress look👀
❤️❤️❤️❤️😘
How tall are you ?
And anyway I don't go anywear at night only at the weekend and maybe not but who cares about me only my parents brother and my friends
Never spending 200 dollars on jeans. Are you nuts!??😹
😆 No, I’m not nuts 😋😌 I just care about who makes my clothes, how they are made and how long they will last in my wardrobe.
I understand it’s a privilege to think this way, but I think anyone in the position to afford ethically made denim should do so. Like I said, I don’t like to push sales on people who can’t afford them, I just like to get the message out to those ready to receive it ♥️♥️
@@EmilyElizabethMay Well my GAP jeans fit me perfectly and I’ve had them fit over 10 years and I look hot in them. You’re very elitist to buy $200 jeans and not everyone is like you. Great jeans can be found everywhere. Snob.
@@bcplano snob? 😕 that’s not very kind. Do you often speak this way to people you don’t know?
One of my favourite pairs on jeans was bought 2nd hand for $20! I also agree that great jeans can be found everywhere but not all jeans are made ethically unfortunately. For example, none of GAP’s supply chain is certified by labour standards, which means their workers are likely not being paid fairly and don’t work in safe conditions. This is a human rights issue and is important to me, it’s part of my values and it’s why I search for brands that make their clothes ethically.
I understand this is not an option for everyone, so I never force these values onto anyone. This is not me being a snob, this is me caring for the humans making the clothes I wear.
@@EmilyElizabethMay yes I do. Especially when they’re a Jean snob. Snob.
Would you ever be okay to share a food blog or is that a topic you would rather not touch? Also love the fashion videos. It has reminded me just how much shopping had been my “therapy” during the pandemic and to do better for our Earth and those who live on it.
Hi lovely. I have had a couple of requests for this, so I’d be more than happy to. I’ll try get it arranged 💕 so glad my vids have helped to make you think in a more conscious way. It’s definitely a journey and every little thing we all do helps 👏🏽🙏🏽 thanks for watching and commenting xx
@@EmilyElizabethMay :) Yeah I guess I just also want to see how being “sustainable” and/or “minimalistic” has affected other parts of your life I am in my early 30s and it’s nice to see how people around my age are living or incorporating these aspects to their lives. How something so simple can be so hard is dumbfounding. I will say at least my purchases were mostly 2nd-hand
I would gain a lot of help if you could list a number of places you shop successful.
Not fast fashion like H&M.
And i know you get a lot of hand me downs and probably thrift but I don't know where to shop any more.
Clothes are too expensive and I dis like my style so needing a whole new wardrobe.
You are so beautiful but for a person who does not work any more and on a retired income your pieces a bit high for me so I will have to look for some that is a bit lower in price. Thank you ! I will keep watching your video's . ...

You’ve got a good style! You do speak too slowly! Just a thought!
DO NOT buy from Organic Basics!!! I bought two t-shirts. It is way to boxy and the neck is very tight. When I wanted to return the items, I was told that I can only get store credit if I want to get a free return label, if I wanted the refund, I would have to mail the items back to Denmark and pay the mailing fee by myself. Then I was told that their system had some glitch that they could not create free return label even for store credit return. The worst purchasing experience that I have even had. Never, Ever, Buy from Organic Basics!!!
