Congratulations on your pregnancy! It was very sweet and considerate of you to think of this as a potential triggering subject for other women. You often don't see women being considerate of other women on topics of pregnancy and motherhood. So.. thank you for that
There is something that feels great about putting a whole outfit together, including makeup, that is just for day to day and not an event. I love strutting round the supermarket feeling groovy.
I really appreciate the little warning and the tactful and considerate way you mentioned your pregnancy. I wish you a safe and happy pregnancy, and so respect the low-key way you have chosen to speak about it in your content. I am so thankful for your mindful and conscious delivery of all subject matters! I love your content and you deserve so much joy!!
Had to pause and compliment you on being able to put that anklet on at this stage of pregnancy! Kudos girl! Being tall must be awesome because my 5'4" self couldn't get near my feet! ;-)
As a long-time subscriber, I am really, really into this dedicated fashion content! I especially appreciate that your fashion content is not about "how to make your body look x way using clothes". Fashion is about so much more than how much our body reflects current beauty standards. Your discussion of fabric, formality, colour, texture, silhouette etc have all been really thought provoking and they help me get dressed in a way that is satisfying. Thank you!
Dear hannah. I’m watching a bunch of your video’s right now because you make me feel understood. I am 21 and sometimes struggling with that. I just watched your video in witch you talked about containing multitudes while i was just thinking about being a multipotentialitite. I’m also creative and sensitive and so often feel like so little people get exited about beauty and subtleties the way you do and i do too. I’m so very grateful for your video’s. You are an inspiration and a safe haven❤
This truly reinforces your initial purchases and how well you’ve established your aesthetic. You are looking very beautiful btw. I hope you are staying comfortable in the heat.
I recently challenged myself to wear three different outfits that had to incorporate one older unworn piece with something from this season new stuff that I’ve not necessarily worn yet. It was so fun to pair new trends with older staples I’ve not been wearing because I’ve evolved into a little bit more trendy. I’ve just recently had my 62 birthday and I decided to stop dressing too appropriately as I’ve been doing gradually as I’m feeling less vibrant. Well forget it. I’m all about being the vibrant beautiful 62 year old woman I am. I need distractions from my flaws and eye catching outfits that I feel great in. You will know this and your mom might agree that it’s hard to start disappearing from view. People look past you or even through you when you are a woman in our society at certain ages. You seem ageless to me. I’ve just found you and you truly delight me. I love your choice of words often as well. You do not “dumb it down” for we who watch you. Thank you! Great video. You look so lovely and I’m happy for your opportunity to mother. I did not have one. And I do truly appreciate the kind way you forewarned people about seeing you in your pregnant state. That they should be comfortable with watching after your small warning. Really nicely done. You are a kind woman. Best!
I've been replenishing my closet on a budget after several years of no buy and your videos have been so helpful in 1) choosing things I'm excited to wear and 2) not feeling guilty about it because I'm actually doing it mindfully and with planning and purpose. It hasn't all been smooth sailing (i need to come to terms with the fact that Lucy & Yak don't know how to make clothes for my body shape) but I do feel like I'm finally getting somewhere. I think tomorrow will be a shop my closet day!
I'm learning to break my very long list of body shaming rules. I don't want my 5 year old granddaughter to learn them. She inspires me to be fearless, because she is always telling me that everyone is fearless, just sometimes you have to try a few times. So glad to see this video now ❤
Hannah, I love how your videos manage to combine encouraging us to make sensible esthetic choices that honor our creativity and freedom of expression, with a healthy sense of amusement at our (shared) preoccupation with how we dress! You're really teaching this sixty-something woman new ways! Thank you.
Love to see the wardrobe version of SMS! i wanted to mention i appreciate the editing choice to “repeat footage”. it’s a tiny tiny pet peeve that when people are doing a voice over the b roll won’t always go as long as the VO, and i just really like the choice to keep the b roll going longer so we can keep seeing whatever thing for longer as you talk about it. hope that makes sense! also really happy you found a way to work in the Doen, the pieces are so pretty ♥️ and you’re looking so glowy! ♥️
I absolutely love this! As a recent subscriber who found you due to your fashion content, which is extraordinary by the way, I’m putting my vote in for this to be a series. I wouldn’t be sad about monthly but I won’t lobby too hard if you settled on quarterly… you’re my fashion gal! I much prefer your sense of fashion as personal style/expression over trends. I so appreciate your mindfulness with regard to budget. As an artsy person, particularly as a dancer, I’m especially grateful for your knowledge of fabrics and construction. I’m living for the fantasy of elevated editorial sweaters and fear buying a babaa only to find it’s too small. All that to say, more fashion, please. I have 4 children so I’m available for all “How do I do this with a baby?” questions & direct you to Jacinda (exPM of New Zealand, who brought her baby to parliament & Kathryn Ryan, Canadian comedienne in the UK who goes on chat shows with wee Fenna on her knees… You didn’t ask & certainly take all the downtime you want/need, but I say all that to say that I’d be happy with you wearing the baby in a sling and holding up a garment (B roll can have better shots, maybe Joe could do that) and talking through it. Maybe he can also try to catch you wearing each outfit like a photo journalist “on the go”. You know, Joe’s a wonder!
Pregnancy chat alert: I love that you are wearing your wardrobe while pregnant, you look amazing! Word from the wise (my sister) for all those pregnant ladies out there planning/able to breastfeed... you can totally convert your wardrobe for nursing too, by layering your clothes with a stretchy vest top underneath - for example, if you're wearing pants and a t-shirt with a vest top underneath, simply pull your t-shirt up over your boobs and your vest under your boobs and voila, access!! Works with shirts, button front dresses, etc, too. It saved me so much money and meant i didnt have to wear frumpy feeling nursing clothes 😊
Hannah, I enjoyed pregnancy dressing as a creative endeavor in the way you describe here - reimagining my wardrobe to fit my changing needs. And it doesn't stop after birth. ☺️ I'm very excited to hear about your thoughts on the balance of aesthetics, consumerism and parenthood! Best of luck with everything.
Yes, I do love her style - but have to say that being (highly) pregnant in the summer makes it easier- pregnancy wardrobe during wintertime is way more difficult...
This is an exercise I need to do as I recently retired. I’m trying to look at my wardrobe and see how I can let it “relax”. Hope you’re feeling as well as you look!😊🥂
Started watching your channel when I was pregnant in 2021 and your videos helped me to feel like I could still dress for myself and pull myself together a bit more each day. Wishing you and baby (and Joe) a safe delivery!!
I love this concept SO much!!! Definitely inspiring me to do the same. Please more videos like this!!! I love the motivation to create a fire look from one’s own closet instead of obsessing over the next new thing. Wow. This is how to “influence” people to be creative with their clothes and silently divert attention from over-consumption. Thank you!
I absolutely love this video and your focus on how clothes that you've had and will have are fitting your current body rather than this being solely focused on maturity. Just absolutely fabulous!!!!
These are all lovely outfits. I recently visited with a friend and her three daughters. Unexpectedly, I was on the receiving end of a wonderful "How to style your clothes" session. It was such a fun time. It has given my closet and jewelry box a much needed refresh -- without purchasing a single item!
OMG I just started doing this with my closet!! I came to the same realization that there were a handful of items I wasn't wearing. So far it's working!
Hi Hannah - As someone for whom pregnancy *is* a difficult topic; I want to say how much I appreciate the fact you haven’t centred your pregnancy in your content. I’m sure you have your own personal reasons for this; but that decision has meant I can continue to enjoy your content. For a some creators, when they become pregnant, their channels (understandably) become super focused on pregnancy/ baby shower / birth / breastfeeding etc etc etc and it becomes so triggering for me that I end up needing to unsubscribe and block 😕
The last outfit is so good. It really suits you :) And I love that you did a fashion video while pregnant, I bet you will look back on this in a year or so and appreciate it even more!
I love this video! I enjoyed you talking through your thought processes while creating these outfits. Love your kind energy too - the way you end your videos is my favorite❤️
I hated pregnancy dressing so much, but this video is game changing (9 years too late, although I’m thrilled other mums-to-be will benefit from such thoughtful content). Also, as a fellow former-Dôen obsessive - my love for the brand actually took over my life, and my wardrobe for a couple of years - it was lovely to see how you were able to incorporate your older, more intricate pieces, with your new, more streamlined aesthetic.
Lovely outfits! I'm happy to see you utilizing some of your patterned clothing into your current streamlined wardrobe. It adds pizzazz to what could become a copy-paste minimalist outfit. Have you chosen nursery colours yet?
It's such a simple concept to mix and match what we already own, but actually doing it is a step that can be daunting. Like you mentioned about wearing only a white top with the white trousers - I, too, get these "rules" in my head about my own clothes. Thank you for sharing and inspiring! And thank you for the thoughtful warning at the beginning.
Congratulations on your pregnancy, Hannah! ❤️ I hadn't tuned in in a while and had no idea. I feel so happy for you! You are radiating in all your outfits. Please keep these shopping your closet videos coming.
Your videos are so polished. I love baby CZcamsr Hannah's 10 mins introductions, but I can easily see how this can appeal to a wider audience, and it's more engaging visually
aaaaaaa this is the video I've been waiting for!!!!!!!! For the past year I fully and only enjoy in monotone outfits but I slowly began to sense some kind of weirdness (besides it being maybe too formal/fashion lol) and it turns out exactly as you said being FLAT. That's next level Hannah XD
That was nice to watch! I really really felt that "blouse-situation". I think maybe through the more or less exact definitions and inspirations that describe a certain aesthetic, we tend to think we have to fulfill a certain aesthetic to fit / to blend in into that aesthetic. So we think if we feel dedicated to a certain aesthetic we have a strict framework to be in. But, we are free to break up those frameworks, and to mix whatever we love together. I was on that streamline-minimal-color-less-aesthetic--boat, too and then i fell in love with an orangebrownred sweatshirt. And i thougt i couldnt buy it, because it doesnt fit into that aesthetic and i couldnt mix that piece in. But. I bought it and i wear it a lot and it really broke open that strict framework my brain thought i ought have to stay in. Now that i freed myself it is easier for me to reintegrate certain pieces that i loved forever and kept in ge back of my closet because they didnt fit into that allwhitenudeblacksimpleminimal aesthetic. ( I hope that my point is understandable, i am german and its sometimes difficult to express my thoughts in english 😊)
Your fashion vidoes are the best I've seen. I love the thoughtful way you describe the decisions you make and how they work with your current style, it's so refreshing and best of all it's not prescriptive like so many others are. Thank you!!!
Because of your fashion videos, I’ve been inspired to look at my closet more analytically as well as creatively and actually start composing looks that make me feel good. Thank you for this content! Especially bc I have a closet full of clothes of different sizes, I need to look at different ways to wear and style old things newly so as not to overbuy ❤
Oh my gosh. I getit now. You started off in the right place but after watching quite a few videos I see now that you are actually using this to sell us stuff! Holy cow! It rather blows my mind-- You've come full circle. My bubble is burst.
Nice outfits, Hannah! I'm glad you can incorporate beautiful prints into your minimalist esthetics. The blouse outfit reminded me of Italian actresses, such as Sophia Loren or Anna Magnani, in Neorealist films😂
Seriously, thank you! I’ve truly struggled with the shirt over a dress/tank/cami style that seems to be in right now. I live in a very warm place so I don’t like to wear extra layers, especially if there’s no actual need besides fashion. I appreciate you putting that into words. And also that you pointed out that it can be used for extra coverage from the sun ☀️ 😊
On one note, I'm so excited for you and Joe. You have such a sweet and nurturing nature with your followers and I hope you guys continue to have a safe and healthy pregnancy! On the other, I'm moving soon so I really appreciate the videos on addressing your older wears, definitely will be going through your past declutter videos as well. Time to reckon with my beautiful things again
I started a new job and need a slightly more elevated work look so I also shopped my closet. Turns out I have way more outfit options than I ever realized.
Absolutly loved this including the tweaking your style idear as such … can get very focused myself and have changed styles a lot over the years. Often as my body and environment has changed as well as a new part in my life.
I did the thing of moving all my winter clothes into storage. I put them in a closet in my guest bedroom. The weight on the hanging bar was so great the bar collapsed! So now my winter clothes are back in my closet and I'm kind of living? We've had a break from 90 degree heat so I can actually do a little layering....I'm so impressed you can get an ankle bracelet on when you are pregnant in the summer. That is a flex.
The "banishing" system Hannah mentioned in a previous video has been so helpful. I've been ill lately and all I want to wear is flowy clothing that is entirely impractical to my current state: I think it's time to banish those items so that comfortable clothes that don't get in my way can shine.
Such a lovely idea!! Gotta try it myself. And I‘d like to point out, that your disclaimer that we‘ll see you pregnant in the b roll is so so thoughtful! I think that’s a real nice disclaimer for someone who is a bit sensitive when it comes to pregnancy. Such little details make me love your channel even more! Have a nice day & greetings from Germany 🩵☺️
That’s what I love about a minimalist capsule. It forces me back into putting on things I pass over. That clarifies how I feel about it. Sometimes it’s season in my life is over but more often I fall back in love.
Hannah thank you so much for showcasing Etsy shops! I just got my order from The Purana Bazaar, and am so pleased (especially by how little it cost to get something one-of-a-kind)!
I loved this so much Hannah! I am definitively inspired to so this with my own clothes. I have so many beautiful pieces that I never wear, because like you said, I find some excuse or reason not to. And I don’t question those excuses. But I’m now inspired to reach out of my comfort zone. Thank you!
well I bet your having a ball restyling and elevating your closet wardrobe. in 2024 I started the same thing on my channel.so glad I kept almost ALL of my vintage clothes.changed up from summer to winter :) new subby Connie
My size has changed a lot during pregnancy and didn't happen to come back to my job (thank you for not letting me know till 2 weeks before my supposed return guys) so my closet is full of stuff that doesn't fit, can't use to breastfeed or is just not my style anymore. Will try this but I'm planning on during a serious purge of my closet once I'm working again
I think many of us can relate to your feeling of stepping out of one's comfort zone with a piece that "doesn't fit" one's current aesthetic. but looking at your outfit with the blouse from the outside, it looks so very Hannah (TM) in the best way possible. this just goes to show that if we feel good in an outfit, it suits us and our style. we don't need to put labels on it.
As we're in summer I completely ignored my summer dresses! I wore one my mother recently gave me and it rekindled my love for my dresses. I'm currently sick with covid but when I return to work you bet I'm going to be rocking them the remainder of the season! Thank you as always with your careful consideration. Since I'm home I'm focusing on anything but spending and this is a lovely reminder to focus on all the lovely things I do have in my closet. Sending you love and hoping you're doing okay in the heat!
9:06 I really like what you said here about "disrupting the narrative" around a particular garment. I think the same can be said about anything in a wardrobe or even around the house. Thanks again for a thought-provoking and actionable video (and congrats on the pregnancy!)
Hi Hannah, you are so beautiful and just glow when you talk about something you’re so passionate about. I remember when you tried for the first time the minimalist way of dressing and something you said about stripes not being for you, when looking through Emma Hill’s looks. Maybe florals are your stripes 🌼
I would love a video about maternity fashion that deals with the topic of how the possible need to buy new (larger) clothes can be combined with thoughtful consumption. You have the same problem with weight fluctuations in general, you can decide not to buy anything, but if nothing fits anymore, you have no other chance than to buy new clothes and I think at this point it's easy to fall into overconsumption.
Fun video :) I’m inspired by your style and commitment to loving the pieces you own. I’m excited to share your pregnancy fashion with women in my life who are going to be pregnant!
I would love to hear you talk more about your philosophy (or philosophies) about when to keep and when to let go of pieces in your wardrobe. I love that this video makes me think more deeply about how "tired" pieces that I have been thinking of as no longer fitting with my style might actually be an opportunity to expand and further develop my style, just by styling old pieces in new ways. But, also, sometimes hanging on to old pieces feels very fraught, and like it might be getting in the way of presenting your most authentic self through your clothes. I feel like you would have something very interesting to say about criterion and ideologies for closet changeover/changing style!
Im totally not a minimalist (in dress sense, decor or makeup really) but i always like looking at the very intentional decisions of a minimal person. I just love all the colours and textures and patterns sp its nice to see a minimal style with some colour and texture rather than just plain neutrals
I’ve worn through most of not all of my „usual“ summer trousers I wear and had to get creative with my wardrobe as well. Thankfully I don’t have to be in an office setting right now or I would be totally lost. This felt really inspiring and makes me want to dive deeper into my closet to see if I can find more wearable pieces. Thanks for sharing Hannah! 💌
Love all your hidden pieces! I have a huge wardrobe. I often fall back in love with older pieces, too. Hence the reason why I hold onto a huge wardrobe in the first place. I have my own vintage clothing shop at home lol
I really enjoy Shop my Closet videos. This was especially enjoyable as you shared your process in your inimitable way. I stopped buying new color cosmetics about a year ago as I am satisfied with my curated collection and now it’s replacements only. I have embarked on a No Buy July for clothing and accessories as I have an abundance of beautiful things and it is a pleasure to delve into them and find new ways to put outfits together. Thank you for your continued inspiration.
It’s good to do this with our clothing a few times a year. I’m shopping my closet for all the natural fibers because I live in Texas & it’s triple digits rn. I won’t be adding anything unless it’s cotton & doesn’t touch my body 😜. Your last outfit was the standout. The other 2 were good.
Congratulations on your pregnancy! It was very sweet and considerate of you to think of this as a potential triggering subject for other women. You often don't see women being considerate of other women on topics of pregnancy and motherhood. So.. thank you for that
Totally not triggered- but struck by the incredible sensitivity ❤
Chose not to have children, but very much appreciate kindness and consideration for the feeling of others. One of the many reasons I adore Hannah. 🌸🐝
So so true! I just wanted to write the same!
There is something that feels great about putting a whole outfit together, including makeup, that is just for day to day and not an event. I love strutting round the supermarket feeling groovy.
Yes! My favorite heels get worn to the thrift more than anywhere else!
Love your comment ❤ I must do this more
I really appreciate the little warning and the tactful and considerate way you mentioned your pregnancy. I wish you a safe and happy pregnancy, and so respect the low-key way you have chosen to speak about it in your content. I am so thankful for your mindful and conscious delivery of all subject matters! I love your content and you deserve so much joy!!
Same, couldn't agree with this more. Such a thoughtful approach.
I love the second outfit ❤
Gotta admire a pregnant minimalist style mom who shops her own closet and makes discoveries that please her to such a high degree. Well done! ❤
Had to pause and compliment you on being able to put that anklet on at this stage of pregnancy! Kudos girl! Being tall must be awesome because my 5'4" self couldn't get near my feet! ;-)
listen I'm not saying it was easy 😂
lol I left the same comment further up. It is impressive. I could barely get shoes on that whole summer I was pregnant.
I am 5'8. I gave up shoes with laces when I was in my third trimester.😂 It just wasn't going to happen.
Yup…….I’m 5’8” as well and shoes with laces were done by month 6 of my pregnancy. My birks saved the day at that point in my life.

This truly reinforces your initial purchases and how well you’ve established your aesthetic.
You are looking very beautiful btw. I hope you are staying comfortable in the heat.
I think the French look is more Latina and dramatic romantic. The hoops, the hair and the frills seem very Peron.
Thank you for being sensitive to women who may have been triggered by pregnancy. Just the fact that you thought of this means a lot. ❤
I recently challenged myself to wear three different outfits that had to incorporate one older unworn piece with something from this season new stuff that I’ve not necessarily worn yet.

This is exactly what I did! And saved SO much not buying nursing tops.
I called this the One up One down method -- people would say "he's so quiet!" no dude he's been eating the whole time you were talking.

my own journey has not been straightforward and I am all too aware of how hard it can be ❤️ I'm so glad that you are still enjoying watching!
Also the consumerism around it....i can't stand needing all the baby things
The last outfit is so good. It really suits you :) And I love that you did a fashion video while pregnant, I bet you will look back on this in a year or so and appreciate it even more!
I love this video! I enjoyed you talking through your thought processes while creating these outfits. Love your kind energy too - the way you end your videos is my favorite❤️
Yay for Hannah’s sustainable fashion content❤❤ also your earrings are 🔥🔥🔥

Maybe sulking room pink for the nursery? 😂

No 2, would also look fabulous with the same sandals and black trousers/skirt for an evening look.
That was nice to watch! I really really felt that "blouse-situation". I think maybe through the more or less exact definitions and inspirations that describe a certain aesthetic, we tend to think we have to fulfill a certain aesthetic to fit / to blend in into that aesthetic. So we think if we feel dedicated to a certain aesthetic we have a strict framework to be in. But, we are free to break up those frameworks, and to mix whatever we love together. I was on that streamline-minimal-color-less-aesthetic--boat, too and then i fell in love with an orangebrownred sweatshirt. And i thougt i couldnt buy it, because it doesnt fit into that aesthetic and i couldnt mix that piece in. But. I bought it and i wear it a lot and it really broke open that strict framework my brain thought i ought have to stay in. Now that i freed myself it is easier for me to reintegrate certain pieces that i loved forever and kept in ge back of my closet because they didnt fit into that allwhitenudeblacksimpleminimal aesthetic. ( I hope that my point is understandable, i am german and its sometimes difficult to express my thoughts in english 😊)
Your fashion vidoes are the best I've seen. I love the thoughtful way you describe the decisions you make and how they work with your current style, it's so refreshing and best of all it's not prescriptive like so many others are. Thank you!!!
Because of your fashion videos, I’ve been inspired to look at my closet more analytically as well as creatively and actually start composing looks that make me feel good. Thank you for this content! Especially bc I have a closet full of clothes of different sizes, I need to look at different ways to wear and style old things newly so as not to overbuy ❤
Oh my gosh. I getit now. You started off in the right place but after watching quite a few videos I see now that you are actually using this to sell us stuff! Holy cow! It rather blows my mind-- You've come full circle. My bubble is burst.
Nice outfits, Hannah! I'm glad you can incorporate beautiful prints into your minimalist esthetics. The blouse outfit reminded me of Italian actresses, such as Sophia Loren or Anna Magnani, in Neorealist films😂
Seriously, thank you! I’ve truly struggled with the shirt over a dress/tank/cami style that seems to be in right now. I live in a very warm place so I don’t like to wear extra layers, especially if there’s no actual need besides fashion. I appreciate you putting that into words. And also that you pointed out that it can be used for extra coverage from the sun ☀️ 😊
Feeling nostalgic seeing that blue IBM Selectric!
I love doing this! Rediscovering closet treasures is so fun!
On one note, I'm so excited for you and Joe. You have such a sweet and nurturing nature with your followers and I hope you guys continue to have a safe and healthy pregnancy!
On the other, I'm moving soon so I really appreciate the videos on addressing your older wears, definitely will be going through your past declutter videos as well. Time to reckon with my beautiful things again
I started a new job and need a slightly more elevated work look so I also shopped my closet. Turns out I have way more outfit options than I ever realized.
All lovely. The top & white linen pants is my favourite. I'm reinspired to hook into my own neglected things.
That last look!😍ᑕOᑎᘜᖇᗩTᑌᒪᗩTIOᑎᔕ!
Absolutly loved this including the tweaking your style idear as such … can get very focused myself and have changed styles a lot over the years. Often as my body and environment has changed as well as a new part in my life.
I did the thing of moving all my winter clothes into storage. I put them in a closet in my guest bedroom. The weight on the hanging bar was so great the bar collapsed! So now my winter clothes are back in my closet and I'm kind of living? We've had a break from 90 degree heat so I can actually do a little layering....I'm so impressed you can get an ankle bracelet on when you are pregnant in the summer. That is a flex.
Please do more styling videos! I love love love them!❤
The "banishing" system Hannah mentioned in a previous video has been so helpful. I've been ill lately and all I want to wear is flowy clothing that is entirely impractical to my current state: I think it's time to banish those items so that comfortable clothes that don't get in my way can shine.
Love the outfits. I especially love the Doen top and the black dress. Great job! Thank you so much for the ideas.
Did I spy a beautiful typewriter / old skool word processor?? More applause!
it's an old electric typewriter!! we love them
Watching your videos makes me want to wear jewellery again! They're all such beautiful simple pieces
Such a lovely idea!! Gotta try it myself. And I‘d like to point out, that your disclaimer that we‘ll see you pregnant in the b roll is so so thoughtful! I think that’s a real nice disclaimer for someone who is a bit sensitive when it comes to pregnancy. Such little details make me love your channel even more! Have a nice day & greetings from Germany 🩵☺️
That’s what I love about a minimalist capsule. It forces me back into putting on things I pass over. That clarifies how I feel about it. Sometimes it’s season in my life is over but more often I fall back in love.
Hannah thank you so much for showcasing Etsy shops! I just got my order from The Purana Bazaar, and am so pleased (especially by how little it cost to get something one-of-a-kind)!
I've just discovered your channel and i'm obsessed with the way it reaches me right now! Thanks so much for your content!
Ooooh blouse over dress is lovely!
I’m always so down to immediately drop everything to watch a new HLP vid ❤
:)
I loved this so much Hannah! I am definitively inspired to so this with my own clothes. I have so many beautiful pieces that I never wear, because like you said, I find some excuse or reason not to. And I don’t question those excuses. But I’m now inspired to reach out of my comfort zone. Thank you!
well I bet your having a ball restyling and elevating your closet wardrobe. in 2024 I started the same thing on my channel.so glad I kept almost ALL of my vintage clothes.changed up from summer to winter :) new subby Connie
My size has changed a lot during pregnancy and didn't happen to come back to my job (thank you for not letting me know till 2 weeks before my supposed return guys) so my closet is full of stuff that doesn't fit, can't use to breastfeed or is just not my style anymore. Will try this but I'm planning on during a serious purge of my closet once I'm working again
I think many of us can relate to your feeling of stepping out of one's comfort zone with a piece that "doesn't fit" one's current aesthetic. but looking at your outfit with the blouse from the outside, it looks so very Hannah (TM) in the best way possible. this just goes to show that if we feel good in an outfit, it suits us and our style. we don't need to put labels on it.
I’m so excited to try the blouse over the dress thing!
Love how you re-imagined the Doen blouse!
As we're in summer I completely ignored my summer dresses! I wore one my mother recently gave me and it rekindled my love for my dresses. I'm currently sick with covid but when I return to work you bet I'm going to be rocking them the remainder of the season! Thank you as always with your careful consideration. Since I'm home I'm focusing on anything but spending and this is a lovely reminder to focus on all the lovely things I do have in my closet. Sending you love and hoping you're doing okay in the heat!
9:06 I really like what you said here about "disrupting the narrative" around a particular garment. I think the same can be said about anything in a wardrobe or even around the house. Thanks again for a thought-provoking and actionable video (and congrats on the pregnancy!)
All were totally perfect.
Hi Hannah, you are so beautiful and just glow when you talk about something you’re so passionate about. I remember when you tried for the first time the minimalist way of dressing and something you said about stripes not being for you, when looking through Emma Hill’s looks. Maybe florals are your stripes 🌼
Thank you so much for sharing the etsy shop where you got that amazing caftan, what an incredible place to get beautiful upcycled pieces!
obsessed w these fashion videos!
I would love a video about maternity fashion that deals with the topic of how the possible need to buy new (larger) clothes can be combined with thoughtful consumption. You have the same problem with weight fluctuations in general, you can decide not to buy anything, but if nothing fits anymore, you have no other chance than to buy new clothes and I think at this point it's easy to fall into overconsumption.
You are so considerate and loving, you really are an amazing example of a wonderful human being. Thank you for sharing yourself with all of us ❤️
Fun video :) I’m inspired by your style and commitment to loving the pieces you own. I’m excited to share your pregnancy fashion with women in my life who are going to be pregnant!
And thanks for the encouragement to shop my own closet! And congratulations!
I would love to hear you talk more about your philosophy (or philosophies) about when to keep and when to let go of pieces in your wardrobe. I love that this video makes me think more deeply about how "tired" pieces that I have been thinking of as no longer fitting with my style might actually be an opportunity to expand and further develop my style, just by styling old pieces in new ways. But, also, sometimes hanging on to old pieces feels very fraught, and like it might be getting in the way of presenting your most authentic self through your clothes. I feel like you would have something very interesting to say about criterion and ideologies for closet changeover/changing style!
This!
These locks are so pretty and interesting. ♥️
Im totally not a minimalist (in dress sense, decor or makeup really) but i always like looking at the very intentional decisions of a minimal person. I just love all the colours and textures and patterns sp its nice to see a minimal style with some colour and texture rather than just plain neutrals
Love every outfit! Each looks fabulous on you as well.
Loved all those outfits!!
You look absolutely beautiful Hannah! Have subbed since the beginning of your channel & love each video no matter the subject/focus. You are a gem!
This was so inspiring that I went right to my closet and had a great time trying stuff on!
loving this it so refreshing, have a nice day girl 💙
Loved the third outfit on you ❤
Love the caftan and you look gorgeous in it!
I’ve worn through most of not all of my „usual“ summer trousers I wear and had to get creative with my wardrobe as well. Thankfully I don’t have to be in an office setting right now or I would be totally lost.
This felt really inspiring and makes me want to dive deeper into my closet to see if I can find more wearable pieces. Thanks for sharing Hannah! 💌
Loove the sunglasses!
Love all your hidden pieces! I have a huge wardrobe. I often fall back in love with older pieces, too. Hence the reason why I hold onto a huge wardrobe in the first place. I have my own vintage clothing shop at home lol
Beautiful!
What a wonderful take on styling - thank you for (yet again!) inspiring me to always shop my closet and feel excited about it!
I absolutely love this! Always appreciate your depth of analysis; it helps me SLOW down. So inspired to do this with my own clothes now ❤
Amazing what a pair of earrings can do to elevate an outfit.
You are a radiant mama to be! Your creativity is so inspiring - love these videos
This was such a great video! I hope you’ll do a jewelry focused video soon! I went and added all your jewelry to my wish/wait list. 😅
I really enjoy Shop my Closet videos. This was especially enjoyable as you shared your process in your inimitable way. I stopped buying new color cosmetics about a year ago as I am satisfied with my curated collection and now it’s replacements only. I have embarked on a No Buy July for clothing and accessories as I have an abundance of beautiful things and it is a pleasure to delve into them and find new ways to put outfits together. Thank you for your continued inspiration.
It’s good to do this with our clothing a few times a year. I’m shopping my closet for all the natural fibers because I live in Texas & it’s triple digits rn. I won’t be adding anything unless it’s cotton & doesn’t touch my body 😜. Your last outfit was the standout. The other 2 were good.
I love playing dress up and i am LOVING Hannah in her fashion era 😍😍😍🩵🩵🩵🩵
You look absolutely beautiful!❤😊
