"You're allowed to take up space" 🥺 This really struck a cord with me and made me tear up. In wanting to be seen as low maintenance I have really been sending a message that I am not valuable and unworthy of taking up space. I want to change that this year. I love your videos and your style. Thank you for this message it helped me see myself from a different perspective.💙

[@mariastathopoulos744]

This is a vital belief that unfortunately fashion designers and labels refute.... Grown women are influenced to shrink and diminish into size 0, 00 or small and extra small.

[@KendraClendineng]

I hope clothing brands come out with more adaptable / accessible items or lines so those who are disabled or have a medical condition (like a need for a port) can have more options than the few available.

[@KendraClendineng]

@@emilyrose728 That’s so awesome! I would love to read that.

[@tzhiru2901]

@Kendra Clendineng There's a Singaporean fashion label called Will & Well that aims to improve lives through their accessible clothing. You can take a look at their website or instagram :)

[@Mistersgoodgirl]

Tommy Hilfiger has a line like this. I hope this helps.

I do face lots of struggle for my shoe...as I have medical condition

[@marianaschooping9172]

Absolutely. I always try to dress elevated no matter where i go. It helps me try to be the best me. My problem is the outfits aren't always the most comfortable so I end up wearing pjs until i go somewhere lol

[@Martina_E]

It’s tricky

[@nneann]

SAME sis

[@Nancytheredhead]

There's a quote by Coco Channel that i think applies: "Luxury must be comfortable; otherwise it is not luxury."

[@tiredprincess451]

my solution is to get luxury pajamas. most people who have seen me in them (family, friends at sleepovers) haven’t thought they were pajamas until i tell them. i don’t really leave the house in them, but it makes me feel better about wearing them until i go somewhere haha

[@yoggita]

@@tiredprincess451 could you please share the link or brand which you like? I have been on a hunt for few days but in vain. Thanks !!! ❤️

[@schrobro8964]

As a women of 46, life experience has taught me exactly what Bethany is sharing. The way you dress can make or break you. Its just the way it is in the world.

[@sheilakosoff5806]

At the start of the pandemic, teachers had to go remote. I loved that I did not have to get ready or commute every morning. My day began at 7:30 and never really ended since we were providing emotional support from kids. At the beginning,I would shower and that was it. I would throw on a tee and my bottoms were stretchy pants. I got through my day, but I was so depressed. I had a student who could not get out of bed, so I promised to send her a selfie everyday of me dressed and even if she could not come to class she would send me a selfie of herself dressed. Everyday I got up and started to wear my dresses. I love dresses but found them hard to wear to teach. We teachers have no control over the temperature in our rooms. But at home I had control and I got into the new freedom of dressing for my own joy. I had started it for my student but it really made me more present while teaching remotely. My students began to look forward to my outfits. I inspired a couple to get out of their bed and even show up to remote class. I was also more productive. It’s true that getting ready for yourself is an act of self care. I experimented with bold lips and fun earrings. My student never made it to class but I got her to get dressed on most days.

[@bethanyleonardo]

loved reading this, you are such an inspiration ❤️

[@kristinlowther6260]

When you said “you’re allowed to take up space” it stopped me in my tracks. I needed to hear that and more importantly, to remember it. Thank you.

[@shweta7609]

‘You are allowed to take up space’ I loved that

[@briannagarcia9252]

I LOVED this video! ♥️ I’m 28 and I feel like I still dress as I did when I was 24. I always feel like my life hasn’t progressed much and now it makes sense. My style hasn’t changed therefore I feel like my life hasn’t changed. I literally have things from when I was 22! So glad I found your channel.

[@chellyj3llybean]

I’ve been feeling this a lot lately; clothing as an extension of my identity and self. I love how you pulled these amazing quotes that bring legitimacy to and materialize exactly how I’ve been feeling for a while~ thank u Bethany

[@gulsahgunes7732]

I enjoy each and every video of yours. But this one, by far fabulous and the most inspiring❤❤❤❤

[@MelGph]

So modest and descent dear Bethany I really love ur fashion.

[@simplykatydid]

This was very informative without being judgemental. More curiosity in the psychology, than set rules. Thank you.

[@florianrey881]

Thank you so much for this video! I begin my days working out, taking a shower and dressing up nicely and yes... my mood changes immediately! Still, I'd always recommend dressing up chic and comfortable as much as possible when you need to be productive. I hate when I wear tight clothes or "bad" fabrics and I'm sitting at my desk thinking how uncomfortable I'm feeling. 😅

[@bethanyleonardo]

I agree 100%

[@moggies4460]

This really put in words so many thoughts I have but have never been able to articulate. So thank you! I’m definitely watching it at least once more. And sharing with those in my life who have the same love for fashion that I do. So so good 😊

[@bethanyleonardo]

This honestly means so much! Thank you, friend 🤗

I believe that I wouldn't be the first nor the last to say that your voice is sooooo soothing, addicting, and calming 🥰🥰.

[@carlachandler6830]

That’s totally correct!

[@christinezwicke1002]

Brilliant presentation, Bethany! The quotes you've chosen to share and discuss validate the focus on dressing how and who you need and/or want to be, i.e., to guide and frame the outward image and messages you're sending to family, friends, self, colleagues and, of course, strangers. Thank you!!! Do I want more? Yes, please. Here's wishing you a happy, healthy and successful 2022!!!

[@thegillmachine]

I feel like a lot of people use this logic to try to convince everyone to dress more classy/elegant when in reality that doesn’t make everyone happy. I like to be a bit outlandish in my style and I feel like people try to tell me that reflects poorly on me but I don’t care. I know what I like and if it’s a hat shaped like a cloud instead of a pair of black dress pants and a grey sweater it will be fine. I still have the ability to be professional and capable.

[@samanthaharrell7342]

I’ve decided to make a career change this year and hadn’t even considered how clothes play into that. Thanks for making me think!

[@RenaCayari]

Thank you for this eye opening perspective especially about how clothing manages your mood. I definitely saw this connection with my work space as well, if it's organized and aesthetically pleasing, I feel like I do my best work, vs when it's cluttered.

[@bethanyleonardo]

So happy it was helpful, Rena! 100% agree on a tidy and beautiful work space 🙌

[@mzudsiri]

Happy New Year Bethany! I’ve been thinking about all these themes so much currently as a new mom who’s also breastfeeding. My body’s changed and my needs are suddenly different. I know for sure if I don’t change out of my pjs in the morning I’ll never leave the house with baby. Merging my new and old life. Clothes really have impact.

[@bethanyleonardo]

Congrats Mullica! So happy for you and your new little one 🤗💕

[@littlerain]

Thank you so much for this video. This is so well thought out and shows how much maturity with your style and self-expression. You definitely inspired me to take myself and fashion more seriously and leave behind what people might think or say about me. Please do more videos like this ✨

[@gwenwade6059]

How wonderful to find you on my feed. Thank you. "Self care is one of the greatest loves. - Gwen Wade."

[@s41r]

I agree with all you've said here. To some people, if you're into fashion you are superficial, self-absorbed and ostentatious, which is unfortunate because this is far from reality. I have been working as a nurse for more than a decade which means I am in scrubs day in and day out. Recently, I got a new job in clinical research and will be starting in February. This would mean office attire and I felt lost! I believe I have always dressed relatively well since I was young, though. I was one who did not want to just put on something and dress like everyone else in the street. But I felt I lost that since I started working as a nurse. I've just recently been watching youtube vids to search for clothes I need to buy. I am so glad I have stumbled upon your channel! You've helped me rediscover myself, Bethany. Thank you for being a big part of my 2022. Happy new year to you! ♥

[@bethanyleonardo]

Oh thank you lovely! And thanks for telling me your background and what style has meant to you ❤️✨

[@gardenkeeeper]

Thank you, Bethany. As always, you offer practical fashion advice!

[@ReactiveDogDiaries]

This video feels very spiritual to me, recently purchased a red knitted wool quarter zip and I fell harder in love than I thought I would, when I opened the package and put it in it felt like my inner child was uplifted, for some reason it reminds me of Winnie the Pooh and I was raised on winnie as a young girl, it feels nostalgic, comforting and reminds me of my grandfather.

[@ReactiveDogDiaries]

Can’t wait to see my closet evolve over the years

[@bethanyleonardo]

Happy new year, Sirri!

[@TheZeyre]

Dear Bethany! This was just excellent! I will say that after your styling course, even in the coldest of days I have made it my priority to layer!l Before I would wear a sweater over jeans ..with thermals but now I add a shirt so I can see the cuffs and maybe I change out the boots I wear,; add accessories even if I am working from home! These may seem like small changes but they have a huge impact because it looks like i took time to create an outfit.🎉In 2022 I want to wear vintage fur as it is so cold -- and why waste an item and dishonour an animal again if you have a fur from a family member? Makes no sense to have it in a landfill. Erin Cara from Toronto 🇨🇦does an excellent vintage fur styling video. At -30 to -40 Celsius warmth is the most important thing! Thank you so much! I am so glad to have taken your course!!!!!! Xoxo Joanne

[@MoodyArtAttic]

I started watching your videos like 2 years ago. I stopped after a year or so. I changed my style etc. I knew that I enjoyed your content so I tried watching a new video of yours (august or July) but I didn’t really got the points and couldn’t really connect with it. Now I tried it again (because I loooove your videos) and here we are totally enjoying it and understanding what you mean on a deep level. I wasn’t ready for it. I was like a chick that needed to grow up to understand what your words really mean. I’m so grateful that I tried to watch your videos again :))) best decision

[@bethanyleonardo]

That is an amazing goal, Claudia! Happy new year!

[@kestiameshad]

I love this video, and I love the idea of it. And for the most part, I agree that dressing/putting on your style of clothing is a conscious act of self care that can set the tone of the day. However, with the pandemic, most of us, including me are staying at home - and I can't imagine dressing up, only to change again to do some messy and hot house chores. I don't have a specific day to do house chores because I believe in breaking them up into manageable portions throughout the whole week - but this means there's a chore almost every day. Perhaps it means I should buy more shorts. Stylish ones, of course. :)

[@imadina31]

[@anamaria_1438]

[@fabiolaalmeida4458]

This is a deeper understanding of getting dressed. This is artistic, this is emotional and mostly a way of establishing a mark in society. Is this art telling how life must be or reality inspired in art?

[@serawasnever2902]

Again, thank you for being real.

[@bethpritchett]

This makes so much sense and helps me understand why I'm so drawn to certain pieces. I'm a homesteading wife and mom, so I usually feel the best when i dress like my grandmother's cousin who was born in the 1920s and had a cow ranch, or a pioneer woman (no i don't use the brand LOL). Your thoughts will help me hone in on this concept!

[@jasresearch7218]

Very insightful. I’ve never come across these ideas before and yet so many people talk about fashion and style.

[@bethanyleonardo]

Thanks so much for the kind words! I don't watch other fashion channels because it can be an echo chamber, so I just read a lot of books and apply what I learn to my own perspective on style. Glad to hear the extra effort is worth it :)

I am more comfortable in cardigans than jackets but in my work situation my boss treated me with less respect in a cardigan, so I wore jackets. In social situations I have found that dressing differently to the group makes socialising harder. Ideally we wear what we want to express who we are, but in real life many of us find a compromise with a bland uniform and a small tweak of personality.
