The Regulars | MY CLOSET Ep. 1

Since I started a series on my IGTV series showing how to bring my Instagram Edits to life using your own closet, I figured it was time to show you mine! In this video, I give a quick tour of my (small) Brooklyn closet and pulled out all of my REGULARS (meaning what the pieces that I wear the most!). I wanted to show that I practice what I preach, I keep a pretty minimal closet and am very discerning with what I purchase. To me, it is not important to have a ton of clothes, what is important is that I like and wear every single item in my closet. I want to create a collection where every single item can be worn multiple ways!
Check out my website for a shopable edit with most of the items that I featured in this video!

this is what people need: a stylist to help them understand they have a "uniform" and therefore don't need 50,000 things. That will help consumption more than anything we're expecting the fashion houses to do. There are rich people but this is for the rest of us who love fashion but have a budget, and might rather spend it going higher end than more. I saw this lady once who did beige and maroon. She lived in a artist poor rent area and i found how she looked just brilliant, stunning.

[@belindanewham5369]

Would love to see a handbag breakdown and what designers/style of bag you would recommend as almost a capsule wardrobe? X

[@charjack2]

Would love to see how you style different body types.

[@AllisonBornstein]

Yes! Since I am social distancing it is harder to show on other people so I’m sort of limited by my own closet and own body but working on some videos that i hope will feel more relevant to other body types!!! Can’t wait until i can finally be face time face with clients again!

[@NotToMentionMakeup]

Check out her videos with Violett FR!

[@finvc]

Love this, So informative and simple to follow. Thank you! Agree with Lisa, looking forward to seeing how you dress different body types. I’m curvy (although currently heavily pregnant so live in sweats!) and medium olive skinned so would love to see you dress someone similar to see what colours and styles suit me. Take care x

[@sameekshasapkota1815]

Its amazing how less items you own, and still every piece is wearable and fashionable!

[@greenfembot10]

Love love love. The color palette is so minimal but you get so much out of every piece.

[@mejulialee]

Fashion is 100% wellness. I LOVE your Closet Editing System and overall approach to building your wardrobe and outfits. I've been so much more critical of my purchases to make sure they fit in well with my closet and am embracing the "less is more" approach. So happy you're starting your own KZbin channel! 💕

[@missmillienettleton]

Can't wait to see more! I've just turned 22 and at that age where I'm starting to want quality over quantity, and trying to build that wardrobe where I can grab anything and I feel amazing in it. Would love to hear more tips on this ❤❤❤

[@The__pros577]

I LOVED THAT YOU MAKE ME THINK ABOUT MY CLOSET AND STYLE - NOW I FEEL MUCH MORE FREE AND SHARP ABOUT MY CHOICES. EASY LIFE. KEEP HELPING AND SHINING ! THANK YOU SO MUCH ! KEEP DOING THIS GREAT JOB !

[@sukaicosmica]

Love how you don't buy hundreds of things, most of girls on social media seem so tacky to me with that non stop buying obsession and with that Gucci Gucci Gucci syndrome (which to me is the fact of being compulsively buying "luxury brands" items and being so horribly dressed from head to toe with monograms etc )

[@TheTikimel]

Your editing video with Violette and your instagram edits have been life changing for me!! I went from being a corporate office worker to a stay home mom, to working from home, and felt stuck in a cycle of getting rid of everything only to buy more stuff again. Your approach to start with pieces I wear all the time FIRST has helped SO much. I can't begin to tell you... I would love to hear more about how you shop - how do you determine whether a piece will fit in your collection? I get stuck in a pattern of duplication... then I get sick of wearing the same thing... and complain I have nothing to wear :D

[@AllisonBornstein]

You are NOT alone in that! When I’m shopping, i like to ask myself: why would i wear this over something i have? Will this piece allow me to wear other things in my closet more? That seems to help me!!!

[@j.rosario9006]

Speaking of grandmothers, your living room windows remind me of my grandma’s apartment in NYC 😍, where I lived with her for a little bit before she passed.

[@AllisonBornstein]

I love that. ❤️

[@pumpkinsouffle17]

could you please make videos about : -styling monochromatic neutral outfits (beige, white, cream) -how to find the ideal versatile heel (different price points) -styling prints (houndstooth, checkered, etc.) -how to style corduroy pants, jackets, etc. ?

[@tiffanya4636]

Looove your style and ideas. I'm recreating my closet, but i do really feel I don't have a fixed style since I like to mix things up.

[@i.e.presents638]

Such a great video,t thank you! Including the images of complete outfits while you highlighted each piece of your wardrobe truly took me to fashion school. My request is a wardrobe like this but for a curvy ginger who doesn’t wear black, white, grey, or navy. I know what I consider my neutrals and my palette is set but I don’t see capsule wardrobes or minimal wardrobes online that delete those colors...ever. I literally look like I’m dying in those colors. I firmly believe that chic is not about wearing what anyone else wears, it is about the way we see the world. As an artist, a woman of a certain age who knows herself and what looks good on me, and as someone who gets great joy in being unique I know that my style needs to be a reflection of me. I just get stuck in this planning stage because the examples I see are invariably in greyscale. My strawberry blonde hair looks great with greyscale clothes but my SKIN does not. My eyes look fine with greyscale too. But when every shadow or wrinkle is highlighted by certain colors, tones you don’t even enjoy, and people constantly ask if you are unwell when you are thriving...you stop caring what other people think the fashionable colors are. Michael Kors and Meana Garcia can kiss my considerable patootie. I realize most people look best in cool colors but there is no shortage of people doing capsules and minimal wardrobes online for the cool kids. Warm colors are wonderful too and variety is the spice of life. I would love to see your approach to a warm toned wardrobe just once, I think it would really help me. Thank you for reprogramming our brains about fashion...it is SO welcome.

[@marionannmacredie]

i.e.presents now that I’m old I’ve started wearing pink tones of every shade ,and some red ...I find they are great for my skin👩🏻‍🦳 and I’m so enjoying the color now

You're relatable even though you style very famous people, and I get unending inspiration from your IGTV and Insta posts. Cannot wait for more videos here!

Love, love, LOVE your channel so much, Allison! I’ve been inspired by your style ever since discovering you on Violette’s channel. Would love to know where you get your storage items from, like your shoe rack or jewelry storage. Maybe a video idea where you explain your essential wardrobe storage items! Anyways, keep up the amazing work!

[@AllisonBornstein]

I got my jewelry, sunglasses and shoe storage all on amazon!!! Really inexpensive but have come with me to 3 apartments!

[@Lisa-sp5if]

Allison. I really believe that you are the best out there concerning editing and styling. I absolutely love your style, and I like a very simple look too...After watching 1 million of these types of shows, I’m really starting to realize that my look is very simple... top and pants and maybe a blazer, so your style is dead on for me! I just love how you show a multitude of different ways to wear different things that you have! Did you say that that necklace came from your grandma? I would love to find something like that that wasn’t too expensive. I really really struggle with jewelry. I almost never wear it, with the exception of small earrings. It always seems to Feel extra on me for some reason. Please keep doing these! You are so so good at this. I am you’re number one fan! And after we take care of a ridiculously expensive septic problem,- 😳🙏I would love to do a FaceTime session with you.

[@AllisonBornstein]

This is such a nice message and it makes me so happy that you have begun to figure out your own style and embracing the simplicity!

[@marionannmacredie]

I’ve redone my closet now...but the “things I wear most” are tees and sweatpants! I’m a singer songwriter and work from home and need the comfort...It’s going to be really interesting for me now to figure out more while following your videos. I’ve taken out all the things I imagine myself wearing and wondering where to put them as they are mostly occasional wear. A vid on strong trackpants? 😊🥳

[@dcoughla681]

Fantastic! A perfectly curated, sophisticated wardrobe that says so much about you. Professional, intelligent and chic. Your editing system has been a real game changer for me. Now I can clearly see what works & why and it makes getting dressed so much easier in the morning. I take your point about duplicates and the reason I had them is that when one goes into the wash, I would have a spare ready. However, with the regulars I can be creative with what I have. I’m curious to know if hats & scarves are a part of your regular accessories too.

[@AllisonBornstein]

I’m so glad the editing system has helped! Scarves are def part of the accessory rotation more during the fall and winter for me but I’m not a huge hat person!

You’re only the second person I’ve seen to mention the Robie, and the first one who actually owns it. I’ve been looking for the “perfect” Chelsea boot. I take a similar approach to you with my wardrobe, so I want like one Chelsea boot, one sock boot, and one ivory boot - just the one, high-quality pair in each style. I’m agonizing over it and I have saved like 30 secondhand “almost-right” versions, but I haven’t bought any of them because if they’re not exactly right then I’ve wasted the money. I am leaning towards just buying the Robie new...
