5 Easy & Timeless Holiday Outfit Formulas You Already Own | AD

[@christineperkins7183]

Please don’t ever apologise for showing the same pieces as you always teach us something new about how to style them or tweak the outfits to suit different occasions. Slow fashion is the way to go and you are leading the charge. Thank you for inspiration, ideas and enthusiasm. Have a wonderful Christmas. From Wales.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you Christine! So happy you are enjoying seeing the same items!! I sure am! :) Have a wonderful holiday season xx

[@christinezwicke1002]

Totally agree!!

[@JessMakingArt]

Absolutely! It’s good to see a beautiful closet be used to it’s fullest and it is so helpful!

[@JonathanCurtis]

Exactly! Showing the same pieces is the whole point! I love finding new ways to wear my old favorites and reinvigorate my passion for those items.

[@islandsyl]

This is one of the best outfit videos that’s easy to understand. I like how you paired outfits that don’t work and how you can tweak them to make them work. So helpful! ❤️

[@jimandjudyc48]

I think that one of the best aspects of your wardrobe is how 'mix and match' your separates are. I am trying to get my head around 'why' most everything you own goes so well with every other thing. Maybe you could address this sometime in a video; that is, how to choose separates that go well together no matter how you put them together. Also love your use of jewelry (and sometimes footwear) to dress up/dress down a look.

[@ElizabethScottStress]

Thank you for this! I'm watching after the holidays, but I'll still use this for winter outfit ideas, and for next holiday season. So cute!

[@carlsenlifeafter60carlsen11]

Merry Christmas, as always I loved it all. I have to say it gives me ideas to try different things on. I have leggings a long shirt and a sweater like that and I could put that outfit together easily. Thank you for that. I wouldn’t have Thought to put that together.

[@minikorsi]

💕👍🏻The endless combinations you can create just from a few items....My favourite is the monochrome look with interesting jewellery. I'm totally going to use that this holiday. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@mkc5230]

the black look turtle neck/hair back in the intro and outro is perfect for you - looks stunning!

[@emsjane69]

I’m getting the paperclip necklace for Christmas. I love it 🥰

[@sandramaki7819]

Loved all these looks! Proof that you do not need a lot of clothing to look chic and elegant! Thanks so much Alyssa 😍💚💚💚

[@tc123c4]

So good!!! I haven’t heard a lot of the formulas! Never thought about cuffing my joggers with elastic bands!

[@manualgearshift4965]

Fascinating how much impact such a small adjustment in jewelry and a bag can make. Puts the creativity in a new perspective-don’t stress out, just change out this one thing.

[@77Crazycat77]

Thank you for not going to the classical sleeveless suggestions which are impossible to wear, even in Portugal. Loved this video soooo much. All the best. Merry Christmas.

[@deniseoates7147]

All the outfit formulas are equally good across board. Now my favorite outfit was the first one with the wide leg pinstripe pants and horizontal stripe top. I have 2 tops with those exact strips and will like to try that look out. I might come up with an interesting look. I appreciate these videos from you because it brings up the thought of what do I have that could be used for these types of looks. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come.

[@setdecdenise5113]

I loved the monochrome look ,those pants and that sweater omg sooo good, so chic and cozy great combo!! You have taught us all, great pieces we love can be so fabulous and fun when we restyle them. Loved this one Alyssa, as always, and loving these watch looks as well, chic classics.

[@jamiefromtexas1380]

Same! Loved it!

[@hellohannahjennings]

Love the monochrome with the interesting accessory formula - grey + red is such a chic color combo!

[@deborahsarna2300]

As always, fantastic presentation of using wonderful, already owned pieces for a variety of looks! I love how you think outside the box in terms of how to wear certain pieces, thereby elevating their original purpose. The fact that you can produce the combinations you do--- knowing you have been traveling and not even having your full closet tp access--- speaks to the versitility of the pieces you brought with you. Love them all!!

[@brifren2]

The look with the red plaid skirt is my favourite! Chic, gorgeous, very flattering and vibrant! Very European too, I think :)

[@aiweideng9703]

All the looks were great, but I loved the last one. I’m always in search of comfortable outfits that looks put together. And you managed that with lounge-wear! Amazing job 👏🏻

[@cindyboughen9933]

Loved all your outfits, but especially the blazer + jeans….always a winner!😍

[@seattlegirl2077]

I would love to see a vintage chain belt with that skirt for a holiday look. But keep the edgy in the boots and other accessories.

[@TheT74]

The jogger outfit was fire! Gonna copy that one in black since thats what I have. Thanks Alyssa!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

yes Tamira!! That was a fave of mine!

[@Lulusnotreadyforthis]

I'm such a denim and blazer person! Thanks for showing multiple stylings of each look

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Yes!! Me too! Glad you liked it xx

[@jaygeecee13]

I always learn so much from you and really appreciate the slow fashion approach. It's fun to follow your tips and come up w new uses for clothes I've had for a long time. I love the "elastic cuff" hack you showed and can't wait to try it! It's a total problem solver!

[@annakrol6912]

I absolutely love your monochrome look! It’s definitely my number one! I’m trying to incorporate it more into my style! It always amazes me how you can put such a great looks with few simple pieces. Your pearl ring is amazing. And of course your Ana Luisa collab necklace which I will be sporting this holidays too!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Ahh amazing thank you Anna!

[@josiegraffjewelrydesign6907]

I loved the sweater-and-interesting-skirt and the jeans-silk cami-blazer combos the most! Probably because I have several options for both in my wardrobe😊

[@susanclarke431]

Loved all the outfits.

[@melissafraga1223]

Thank you for your content! I'm new to your channel and I learn SO much from your perspective. Could you do a video on how to pair black and brown together. What are the rules? How much of one color versus the other. All the things. Please. :)

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Hi Melissa!! Welcome! Great question thanks for the suggestion!! xx

[@JaineeGandhi_PersonalStylist]

Love this video, as someone who is moving to Canada soon, I find the ideas so helpful.

[@eddyaaaaaaa]

I love when you showed the sweater/shirt with and without the belt!! Incredibly helpful

[@eddyaaaaaaa]

AHH! And the color of denim with the blazer/accessories! I'm going to go try on my closet now, BYE!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Yay have fun!

[@birgitpscheid5413]

Thank you very much! My favourites are the first and the monochrome look.

[@carlosruiz184]

My favourite the last one!!! Loved it 😍 what a good idea! Brilliant, never thought of it!

[@marygruszewski9971]

Fabulous outfits! Love your style and the shop from your closet vibe! I do have much inspiration from watching your videos AND VOW IN 2022 to achieve your outlook on sustainable fashion and since my apartment IS my closet I will easily be able to shop from my closet (with the intent of minus the clutter in 2022) Thanks Alyssa! PS loving your paperclip necklace. Is it available or since it is your design yours alone?

[@elizabethcongo7815]

Looove! Jeans, silk cami, and top (either cardigan or blazer) is my absolute go-to outfit combo for feeling my best. Such a classic.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

yay!! Same :):)

[@TahsinaSaosun]

I really liked the dainty balance to the monochrome sweater + trouser combo. Your videos always inspire me to play around in my own closet! Excited to see how many outfits I can create based off these formulas.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Amazing! Love hearing this! Have fun shopping your closet xx

[@halliebass]

Love the watches. My watch is 20 years old. I bought it with money that my dad gave me for a trip just before he died. I really like your plaid skirt. It is so versatile and festive! And the gold satiny skirt is so lovely. It is good to see repeat pieces with different combinations! I have my Christmas jewellery. My pearls, my grandmothers locket or my Crystal star broach from my mom.

[@cindydiggs.8721]

I love this “outfit formula” typr of video!

[@swsunsetseeker7285]

Thank you for inspiring me to shop my own closet!

[@odessasudeku9985]

We tend to forget that color of our hair can be a match with same color of something we are wearing. Your almost black color look great with that red skirt, black bag and black boots

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

yes - such a great point Odessa! xx

[@jauntydamemusic]

Yes! I LOVE seeing people wear clothes or accessories that match their hair. It looks so harmonious, and makes sure that the PERSON is part of the look, not just wearing the look.

[@sophiarocket1682]

I adore you and your videos! I'm definitely going to play around with the sweater + skirt + edgy shoe formula.

[@karlaschmid8757]

Loved the black jacket and faded jeans.

[@karenrichards1917]

I tried out the denim and a blazer formula while I was watching. Plan out an outfit for a lunch date with my sister. Thanks for the inspo.

[@BubblyViolin11]

I don’t have a pair of full length wide leg trousers (yet, it’s on my shopping list) but that first combo reminded me I have a pair of culottes that I can swap in. I have to fix the hem, but that’s an easy sewing job. Thanks for the reminder!

[@cjack-caldeira3363]

Great ideas/ looks as always. Surprisingly, I loved the last look the best. Giving me ideas …🤗

[@kimberly21]

I especially loved the last look. Your jewelry choices were beautiful. It really added interest to each look 😊

[@garlicgirl3149]

I loved this!!!!!!! It was great to see why to add or delete an item depending on where you are going and the look you are trying to present or the feel you want. The difference with and without the belts.

[@nadiamar9339]

Always good ideas, thank you!

[@almabackstrom5414]

Love all these ideas. I am learning so much from you as you explain the combinations and how to balance an outfit. I'm looking forward to giving these formulas a try . My favorite was the cute top and wide legged pant. I will see what pieces are lurking in my closet to

[@andolique1075]

Great video, as always!!! You've already inspired me to tweak my outfit for tonight! 🤭

[@sarahryanthestylecoach]

I just love seeing that gold satin skirt! It works so beautifully in so many ways as you demonstrate time and time again! Lovely video, Alyssa. Wishing you a lovely holiday season! 💕

[@norahdelagarza775]

Ciao Alyssa! Loved these formulas! The loungewear separates formula was my favorite. Love you! 🥰 XOXO

[@20kjw]

love it when you dance!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thanks for watching Karen!

[@allthingswavy6420]

I like the monochrome ideas AND the blazer/jeans combos. I always come away super inspired--love your videos!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

so glad you liked them! Thank you for watching! xx

[@fredericavlogs]

Alyssa, girl you're always on point!! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you and your family! 🎄❤❤

[@tamibunker7019]

Just re-watched this and really appreciate this content to think over more. You have great suggestions! Also, I have been having a great time second-hand shopping with my daughters this Christmas break. I'm an avid thrifter, but we have been going to our local second-hand curated stores. I'm kind of freaking out over a skirt I purchased. I'm going to try the sweater, interesting skirt, and edgy shoe formula.

[@zenabraithwaite1934]

Lovely- Merry Christmas. I love the Bardot and dark trousers. I have similar at home ☺️

[@aureliaaime78]

Love the looks with a blazer 😍😍

[@TheZeyre]

Hi Alyssa! Very naughty schoolgirl vibe with the long sweater and plaid skirt! My fav though is the grey sweater and loose trousers with the brown belt though though the other way with the monochromatic grey is very nice. Realistically the copper skirt would be the Xmas pick for the fan dinner. Great accessories!! 🎄🎀🌎🌍🌏 Xo J from AB

[@DCPersonalStylist]

Lovely video! my favorite formula was the sweater + interesting skirt. The color you picked for this outfit really makes it modern and festive without being too much! 😊👍

[@annepjulien5328]

I love this! I want to be able to use what I have and seeing you reusing your beautiful and classic pieces is a huge encouragement! Thank you, as always, Alyssa!

[@marylaidig5755]

Merry Christmas, Alyssa! Thank you so much for sharing another creative video. Your outfit formulas really help me see my wardrobe in a variety of different ways.

[@heatherframpton9693]

Thank you (yet again!) for your styling recommendations, Alyssa! My husband and I are FINALLY travelling to see my side of the family in Chicago for Christmas (1st time since moving to Michigan...hours closer, almost 2 years ago!), and styling suggestions are always welcome! ☺️🎄❤️

[@e.walloch590]

I really liked the plaid skirt with the cream sweater untucked. I thought the short length of the skirt plus the longer length of the sweater was more interesting/unexpected.

[@Ivymoon]

CIAO Alyssa ti se and shine for your creative choices to style this hollydays. I love how you styled as a host or visitor this coming december festives. Love your favorite skirt and sweater, the tights give an excelent wardrove to style very ad hoc to the festives. Love it! Even thought that I also love how you styled your midi skirt. In México sometimes we visit our relatives, to enjoy the ''recalentado'' a dish with Heath we ate last night @ dinner. And, with luck, we bring a tupper for that recalentado to the house😊 That midi skirt can help you to visit for the «recalentado».

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

thank you so much for sharing this beautiful tradition with us Ivone! xx

[@Riftsong271]

A huge fan of your videos and love all the outfits here Alyssa! Can you share where the black blazer, beige blazer, beige v-neck sweater, beige sweater dress, and grey turtleneck sweater are from?

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Hey Alice! Thank you for the kind words! The black blazer was tailor made - a Christmas gift! Beige blazer is secondhand Zara, beige v neck ... I believe is grey in real life ... It is approx 11 years old and I bought it at a tailor - it's a men's ... I don't know the brand :( the grey turtleneck sweater is secondhand Joe Fresh! :) I hope this helps!:)

[@kristinejenkins1936]

So many looks to try, fabulous! (Don’t think I’ve got a “skilk” cami, though! 😉)

[@mariabarnes9197]

While watching this video on using what you already have to create holiday outfits, I was struck by how many outfit vibes will be "ruined," by having to remove our shoes on entering a home with such a rule. What suggestions can you give so that even without shoes we can retain our festive look? Any ideas?

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

ugh yes. I always ask the host what their shoe policy is (some people are ok with shoes but not heels for examples) and then I build it around that. I also have a pair of "indoor" flats - that are pointed toe metallic and work with pretty much everything so as not to ruin a look's vibe! I hope this helps!

[@jnelsimpson1190]

Love these Alyssa! Am saving pics for packing for a trip in a couple weeks as I shop my own closet!! PS do your faux leather paints make a swish noise when you walk?

Love the satin skirt and V neck.Not sure about the fishnets. For me opaques would work better.

[@debbieharrison4288]

I love your jewelry choices. What pieces should I be sure to have to layer necklaces or to use as bracelets? I think I have bought too many repeats but can’t find what I need too often…maybe one of your videos could cover jrelrt?

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

yes! I had a few requests to cover jewelry so will do that in 2022! :)

I think the pale grey monochromatic look will be utilized by me with some new black slides

Dear Alyssa, the golden nordgreen watch "Native" with the brown strap, which you are wearing... Is this the 36mm size one? It is beautiful 😍. Thanks Nicole

[@catherinebiernis3534]

I love your videos. Thank you for your effort and time. I have a question about the faux leather pants. Isn't faux leather actually plastic, which is not good for our environment?

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Hi Catherine! Thank you! Great question - yes - most faux leather is PU which is plastic - including these. (Good news though! There have been great advancements in the use of pineapple, cactus, and apple leather which is awesome) I don't usually go for *new* faux leather - these are secondhand. When something is secondhand, I relax my criteria (I'll even wear a secondhand fast fashion piece if its well made and if i love it, for example) because my values are about using what's already been produced/using what we have. I prefer to help reduce demand for overproduction by keeping clothes that were already produced in circulation. This is such a nuanced question and can really depend on someone's values. Im so glad you asked it and I hope this provides a bit of clarity! xx

[@iandasolay]

What happens with the shoes/boots to elevate the look? They are my big problem in winter and during the holidays. It's cold and I don't feel or see anyone with open shoes or sandals as most holiday look proposals offer. I would appreciate a video about winter shoes to elevate outfits 😉

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Hi Irati! I'm assuming all of these looks would be worn indoors - I usually wear winter boots to my destination and then swap them. You might enjoy my latest video about winter outfits that actually make sense!

[@nicoleneumann2542]

Does the sleek jacket need to be butt length to pull off that look, or would a shorter jacket work too?
