“I didn’t really go anywhere that required whimsy.” Boy, that is one of the best recaps of 2021, ever! 😅

[@annevenditti5592]

Finally, someone said it. Throwing clothes out just because I haven’t worn them in a year, has never felt comfortable to me. I have a cucci purse I purchased in 1979, rarely comes out of my closet, but gives me great pleasure when it does. Saving it for my granddaughter.

[@laurenhill199]

I think No Buy is like trying to go on a diet where you avoid something completely. For me those type of diets never work. I end up focusing on being deprived of something. I did much better when I focused on adding healthy things into my diet. I ended up not having room for all the bad things I wanted to reduce eating. As for my closet focusing on shopping second hand if I can and always with a list and spending time playing in my closet to find new looks is my way of going on this kind of healthier more sustainable diet. It works better for me than No Buy and is sustainable behavior. Thanks for your videos and I think the red/orange button down looks fab on you.

[@rebeccajordan4491]

I know it’s not your day-to-day style, but every time I see you in the more “Italian” as opposed to “French” style - more sexy glam rather than understated chic - it takes my breath away! Here’s to 2022 providing more opportunities for those moments of whimsy!!

[@mylifemcq1358]

Your advice regarding decluttering in these COVID years is spot on. Just because your job is currently remote, don’t ditch all those office pieces just yet! You don’t know what the future will bring and it would be a shame to have to rebuy all of those clothes.

[@susanschreyer7654]

Too chatty? Definitely not!! Keep talking -- I feel like I'm visiting with a friend whenever I play your videos -- a friend with great fashion / closet advice!

[@elbee1290]

I felt the exact same way. When she apologized, I thought, "Noooooooo! Please keep it up!" I, too, feel like I'm visiting with a style-savvy friend who's ultra down to Earth.

[@karinefrommontreal]

What a great recap of 2021! Even if we dont have regular occasions to dress up, I really feel we need to dress to boost our confidence and making us feel good. In 2022 even if Im working from home or going to grocery, I wear my pumps and my favorite items. We only live once, no one knows when the pandemic will end so better start to be fabulous everyday just for us, we deserve nothing but the best🥰A bientot!

[@irairod5160]

I'm with you, Karine! I often wear my best perfume and red lipstick even if I'm not leaving the house, and instead of wearing my flat boots to go for a quick pick-up errand, I'll zip up my heeled ones and strut through the parking lot as if I was crossing a dance floor. I WILL BE FABULOUS, Covid be darned!

[@karinefrommontreal]

@@irairod5160 love this!👏🏼

[@moonbaby8743]

I love your videos, and your responsible approach to fashion. Chao

[@susanbaker2796]

Amen, to that Karine! I also wear red lipstick💄 at home. It just gives me the boost I need to get through Covid. Makes me feel a "little" normal in this mess.

[@ankefc]

Totally agree with your advice on decluttering. At my tender age, I have seen trends repeat themselves three or four times already if not more. i have a couple of rubbermaid bins in the basement for hot and cold weather clothes. They are labelled „not current but too dear to give away“. If I get tired of a piece that is still in good shape that’s where it goes until I pull it out again and it feels like I have a new item without going shopping.

[@andreamorgan3573]

I always have categories in my wardrobe (eg. occasion, church, etc) - I’ve never subscribed to decluttering something not worn for 6 months to a year because I have purposes for the pieces in my wardrobe - I do believe in curating your wardrobe so all pieces I enjoy wearing - Cheers!!!

[@irairod5160]

True, I keep a "work" collection and a "gala" collection, even though my work attire needs change from time to time, and the formal events are spanning farther and farther away. There are too many gems in there---I'd never be able to replace them with pieces of the same quality or that I enjoy as much.

[@kathyffarney-keck8593]

One of my favorite videos of 2021. Also I never find you too chatty. Personally, I found covid and retirement has made me wait until covid is over to declutter. I have no idea of what clothes I will need for my lifestyle going forward.

[@rebeccaw2197]

The black lace skirt/ black sweater/ obi belt look is PERFECTION. Hope you get to enjoy it again in 2022.

[@halliebass]

I like it that you repeat your clothes and use different combinations. I watch some channels and they are hauling out 20 new things every video. Where the hell do they put all those clothes? I know they get gifted a bunch, but really!!! They must have a warehouse! It can give me ideas but I don’t want to buy, buy, buy anymore. I like it that you are honest! I have gotten myself a wish list and think I will try to limit myself to one item a month. I don’t want to go no buy….That is just too severe a change for now. I try to set goals I can attain. I like to be content and as I age, I don’t want to be a fashion martyr! Loved the workshop this weekend! So much fun and a great way to spend the afternoon! And I love clothes and shopping. I recycle faithfully. Thank you for your videos!

[@tracythomas343]

Working from home and rarely leaving my home, I still dress every day. I may not wear makeup or put on shoes but I do dress in comfortable but cute items is my closet. It really is the epitome of dressing for one’s self. Thank you for such great content. 🥰🥰

[@dianchiasson5621]

You could never talk too much…you’re sharing your insights and we’re learning.

[@kristyfoster8876]

I love all your videos. Especially the chatty ones because I feel like we are buds chatting over tea or coffee. I watch your videos almost every workday morning while I am in the closet. They help me focus on wardrobe styling during the time I really need the assistance. Ask the thrift if videos have helped me decide to thrift! I am in love with my closet now because of you! Also you’ve helped Me come out of my shell with my clothes at almost 50! Thank you! Love from CA.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Aw thank you Kristy I'm so glad you find the channel helpful!

[@May-qb3vx]

My big weakness is vintage and tartan wool pieces. That’s it. That’s the place where I REALLY have to try my darnedest to say no. I just got back from the flea market and I found a vintage wool kilt (yes, made in Scotland) and I did cave to it. But I am trying, especially since I’m working on knocking my student loans down a few pegs and I’m not pulling in that much per month

[@marylhere]

My favorite piece that I have had for about twenty years is a black velvet button dress DKNY that I found hanging in a tree at a garage sale. It’s one of the few pieces I have that I get dry cleaned. It works as a dress or a coat….for $4.

[@alliwilliamson1160]

Your comment about your leopard print shirt made me realise my fault of if I like something (merino crew neck) I feel that I have to have every colour but don't wear them all, thanks for the focus! 😁

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

YES - this was a big revelation for me this year! Glad it helped!

[@saracorrea2861]

Can you do a similar video but with most and least successful actions of 2021? The decisions behind those pieces that you used the most/least and tips for us in 2022 😍

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Interesting suggestion Sara thank you! xx

[@Melaniexb1]

Thank you. I personally never throw out something just because I haven’t worn it in said time! Because if I did, I would ever be able to finish a complete outfit !

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Very useful review, thanks. PS: I love seeing your beautiful cat on her perch. Every cat should have such a sunny, furry nap spot.

[@mariehebert9597]

I offered Brave belts to all my men at Xmas....such good quality they love them!

[@DorianaPoceandada]

This video is BOMB ! You are gorgeous ! I will never say this enough but thank you for your work ! You are so inspiring !

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Ah Doriana!!! I'm so glad you liked today's video ❤️ thank you for your encouragement and support I am so grateful! xx

[@audreyoliphant2395]

I’ve stopped decluttering my wardrobe items but put them away so I can shop them in the future. My motto is; if I liked it once I’ll probably love it again x

[@samiansley5740]

Thank you for commenting on occasion wear. I do not wear mine frequently at all, especially lately. But, a few pieces that I feel comfortable and confident in helps me feel happy going to events.

[@jbecsable]

Can't speak for everyone, but I certainly don't mind you getting chatty! I enjoy it! 💕

[@DestinyFerreira29]

funny you mention that rule about deleting items not worn in 6 mos to a year... i used to do hard core declutters, than i would end up having to re purchase similar items because of those wardrobe gaps i wanted and needed for those few and far between occasions.. lesson learned the hard way . i am now a bit more diligent about what i edit and more intentional about holding onto those items. love the chatty videos. all good!!!

[@secondeve610]

Love that caramel satin skirt.

[@AutumnBardotAuthor]

There are so many things I haven’t worn for the last Covid year and a half. My skirts, dresses, and trousers were on hiatus. Yay, now I ‘m wearing them again! So true what you said about real vs perceived gaps. Lifestyle and job-despite how much I want an item, I figure out exactly where and how I would wear it. BT, Those leather joggers! Fab!!

[@ldh4937]

Totally agree with not decluttering something because it’s not been worn for 6/12months, especially during these pandemic times! Sometimes things just need a rest!I have a Ghost dress which I love and bought at a sale around 30 years ago! It’s been in and out of my go to items over the years but I love the fit and style, it’s black and SO versatile. I love it today as much as the day I bought it. Last summer, after I started watching your videos, I came up with new ways to wear it which gave me so much joy! I’m so glad I never decluttered it, and don’t plan to any time soon☺️. If you love pieces, they make you feel great and can be restyled, why get rid of them because someone says there’s a time limit🤷🏻‍♀️ I also think that your attitude to buying is brilliant! Totally agree about “no buy” feeling restrictive and much prefer the “ low buy” approach, shopping with intention and consideration, to a list! I’ve had some great pre-loved purchases since I took your advise about second hand first - all of them either brand new or only lightly worn. Most of the few things that I have bought new, I have tried to buy from ethical brands, when there is a sale or money off offer. I find that this fits better with low buy than no buy, because if something on your wish list can’t be sourced second hand but comes up on sale/offer when you’re on a no buy, then it seems sad to miss the opportunity. It’s not buying something just because it’s in a sale, it’s buying something on your wish list at a great price😊.

[@hoovergrant]

So glad you called out Brave belt company I’ve always admired that belt!

[@beatereese656]

I love your looks. I had the same problem as you with the leopard design. I didn't wear it a lot last year. I love animal prints, but I think, I was fed up of it. I will not declutter these pieces, but for instance they need a break.

[@valeriehowden471]

Good point about not decluttering everything not worn in the last year. This past summer was one of the hottest ever and I rarely worn my linen pants around the house. Trying to declutter the misfits or worn out items and replacing only if necessary.

[@mimseyllamenberger2097]

I totally made the same experience. My shopping was a little bit over the top, but instead of relaxing i tried a no buy and I escalated almost instantly. I couldn't think about anything else, wanted to buy something all the time and did that, and then I really went over the top. Now i do budgeting and I do the 30/30 rule from the minimalists (if something i more than 30 dollars/Euro i wait for 30 hours before buying, to minimize my impulse buys). That works wayyyy better

[@katem3961]

So grateful you brought up the 'declutter if not worn for 6-12 months' issue Alyssa. I have some beautiful timeless boots and shoes that I am just so glad I have never parted ways with despite not wearing during this never ending pandemic. Classic styles that I love as I am not a trend driven person at all. When I do get to wear these items I always get asked where I bought them from, some are 10 to 20 years old! Sometimes not letting go is a good thing. Love your gorgeous Italian influenced style so much 😊🧡

[@judithjohnsonnigh5757]

You are a ‘smart’ woman. Good job girl.

[@luluandmeow]

This year I've bought a few modern classics after years of not buying much, they did a lot of good to my mental health and the way I present myself to the world. I take more care of my appearance , look a little more on trend at 56 years young and feel amazing. I know I will wear these pieces for years. I also have wide feet and when I see great footwear that doesn't look too old/orthopaedic I buy it, it's important to take care of your feet and also look stylish. I sample trends in little inexpensive pieces, e.g. a hot pink bandanna to liven up my monochrome denim outfit is enough for me.

[@lu_re7198]

The navy polka dot blouse w/ the tan pleated pants was sheer perfection! 😘

[@lindatsardakas]

I think the red bag is great. Red (your red blouse!) suits you perfectly with your dark hair. Really enjoyed the SYC yesterday. Thank you.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Yay!! So glad you were able to join Linda!

[@lindatsardakas]

@@AlyssaBeltempo Just bought a ticket for March 5th :)

[@creativecheersoffashionlau7364]

Love that you mentioned that you don’t have to discard from a piece when you haven’t worn them in a year. I make clothing that have a classic style and also my occasion wear is rather timeless. So I have garments in my closet that I had in college. Back then I already had the classic style I still have. And still having the same size I can still wear everything. Only problem is I have way too many clothes ( making them myself and having a youtube channel) but still I will not do any away. When I did donate some half a year ago, next month I missed them because I wanted to wear them 🤣

[@connieclark1288]

This was interesting and informative. You are calming and smart. And pretty.

[@treasastapleton3845]

I learnt the lesson of buying in another colour way as you get so much wear out of a certain item, he t not after doing it a few times! You will always, hands down go for your favourite one every time. What I'm struggling to find are basics, like merino long sleeves in really nice bright colours. Every sustainable brand I come across do very basic colour ways.

[@lose999]

My favorite items are the boots, and those great high waisted flare jeans. Reminds me of the 70's.😉

[@susant1527]

Love how you mix and match what you already own. Once again great ideas thanks for the inspiration!!

[@heatherframpton9693]

Thanks, Alyssa. It's always a pleasure to see a new video from you ( and to rewatch your prior ones!). ❤️☺️

[@marylhere]

Ooooo I have a bag like that that I’ve had for forty years and it was vintage then. Had something in it that was dated 1945. When I refound it in the wash stand we used as a tv stand for twenty years…there it was. The receipt inside from my era was for dental work…two fillings for $27. That’s without any dental insurance. To be fair though I probably made $2.90 an hour (thank you Siri).

[@christinemichele2318]

Loving your slow fashion creativity videos. Thank you!

[@CareersbyJenn]

This was such a great video! Thank you for all the inspiration. Your voice is in my head whenever I look in my closet...fun stuff. And I love my Ana Luisa paperclip necklace and am awaiting arrival of my hoops from them hopefully tomorrow if Canada Post delivers. :) Looking forward to 2022 and all you have to offer us!

[@conniepleasant1081]

The end of this video was fun, you really have captured what looks well on you…everything looked lovely 😊

[@zenabraithwaite1934]

Brilliant. The roll neck and black lace skirt combo 😍. X

[@christinamanucy8037]

Thank you Alyssa! This was really valuable, in particular the perceived vs real wardrobe gap. I can relate to this “mistake“! And ❤️your high waisted wide leg jeans! I’m going through my own 2021 wardrobe lessons learned now and will take your advice to heart. Cheers!

[@pajamamama5965]

This video is just awesome! I appreciate it so much, especially your revelations. There's a thrift shop I go to almost every week because I've purchased some good pieces there and I have 45 minutes to kill while my girls are in dance class. Now that I know my personal style, what fit and flatters my body, and how to differentiate the quality of the piece, it has made shopping so much easier, more fun, and relaxed. Also I have become okay with leaving the store without purchasing something. But also I'm always on the lookout to replace a beloved item. Once I have something I really like such as my winter and summer handbags, I can easily whiz through that section because I don't want to settle for something less for the future. Like you I have loved high-waisted wide-leg pants since I've discovered them at age 16! There was a season in which you couldn't find them for sale. I'm so tempted to stock up in case they go out of style again. And I totally agree about not clearing something out of the closet just because it's been a certain amount of time that you haven't worn it. That rule would only make sense if you have a tiny closet and no storage space. I only let go of things that I have tried over and over and know that I really don't like them for some reason. Have a blessed 2022!!!

[@marylaidig5755]

Thanks for reflecting on your wardrobe and sharing your thoughts. I’m struggling a bit with how often a piece should be worn in order to stay in my closet. You gave me some good tips about that.

[@norahdelagarza775]

Ciao Alyssa! Love this reflection idea! I think it's great to take time to look at where you've been and what works for you and what does not. Thank you so much for making this video. It makes for more mindful shopping. Love you! 🥰 XOXO

Excellent retrospective! This year I am documenting every article I wear. I hope to have this sort of understanding of my own wardrobe, come December, 2022.

[@lindascull6327]

Yessss FINALLY thank you!!! If I threw out everything I haven't worn in a year I would have nothing in my closet.. trust me after I retired I downsized 50% of my closet to our local women's shelter thrift shop....XXOO love this video as always!!

[@suecoles7824]

I love chatty Alyssa! Your content is always so useful and thought provoking to what I can style up from my own wardrobe, thank you so much for all your time and effort, much appreciated. Suze. 😊

[@minnesotamiki]

Absolutely loved this video! I enjoyed hearing your 2021 summary.... one of my fav videos!🤩And of course, the music! 🎶👌🏽 Maybe an Alyssa playlist?

[@SarahCunningham71]

I love how the goals and measurement against them was so straightforward - easy, without being oversimplified. The idea of questioning whether something is a gap vs. simply something you can live without is interesting. (I hadn’t considered that perspective before. The idea of a gap seems like something that has to be filled, which isn’t always true.) I definitely agree with your take on the declutter rules. I have plenty of pumps and going-out clothes, and some business travel clothes I simply haven’t worn, but don’t want to part with yet.

[@DestinyFerreira29]

much respect for your candidness. " i'm human", your honesty is refreshing...

[@mybagoftheday1722]

This was very useful! I loved these clothes you had most worn and looks in the lookbook. They look chic and comfortable and you look like you feel yourself in them. My favourite is the Celine inspired outfit at 15:25 it was the best shop your closet look because it was something you actually like wearing.

[@bcplano]

I love ALL your looks! Very inspiring!🥰

[@HopingForever]

Here is a thing about second hand that I have realized: Purchasing 2nd hand is much easier to accomplish if you live in a city where the 2nd hand/consignment store choices are much more readily available. When you live in a very rural area as I do, there are very few choices. And as you know, purchasing 2nd hand takes A LOT more shopping time to find something suitable. And buying 2nd hand online is SUCH a hit or miss when you can't try things on. Leads to a quantity of thumbs down purchases. And petite sizing is an issue. I'm very petite (5'1") and that really narrows options. Unless I buy petite, clothing just does not look right on me. Anyway, that is my soapbox. I appreciate 2nd hand is a great option for some folks.

[@luisa146]

I relate a lot, online thrifting is not for me, I've tried it and ended up with things I didn't really like or didn't fit me well. In person, where I live there are very few thrift stores and sadly they're filled with fast fashion garbage, it's really hard to find good quality. The only thing I got second hand that I really love and wear over and over is a vintage leather jacket from the 80s that I got for 25€. It's beat up but it's cool and unique because that brand now doesn't even make genuine leather items anymore. I wish I was as lucky as that day with second hand but the store is far away and I can't go whenever so my chances are low. Right now I'm renewing my closet and I'm focusing on buying good quality things that I love will last me a long time. To me, it doesn't really matter if they're new, if you buy consciously only items you really need and take care of them so they serve you for years and years.

[@anne-marielandry4465]

I loved this year in review! As I’m still mostly working remote, I have the same pieces on rotation during the work week. Sadly the pandemic has brought on extra weight for me so many of my office wear pieces are a tad tight 🙁. I’ve moved away from structured pieces in the last two years and crave stylish but comfortable items which I will wear to the office whenever I have to go in. I am the proud owner of your necklace Alyssa and can attest to its versatility 😊❤️. Also I lust after that convertible bag - was just thinking about it the other day as I don’t have a good black knapsack.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Ahhh thank you for your support I'm so glad you like it! xx

[@NicoleCeleste]

Completely agree w you on occasion wear and even a few edgier pierces and not decluttering all of them. I love basics most of the time but like to liven it up every now again. I could go two years w out wearing certain dresses.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Same! But it's so nice to have them when the occasion is necessary!

I am delighted with my clothes and accessories now, I feel joyful and excited curating what I wear, honing my style, and discovering so many great ways to look my best! All of this thanks to YOU!!!

[@susanisham796]

I so appreciate your honest assessment of wardrobe curation. I had a similar experience with thinking I'd found a wardrobe gap need, which turned out to only be a want. I never wore the item, similar to your leopard blouse experience. Thank you for actually living what you teach! :D

[@evalindell2757]

I agree with you totally when it comes to occasion wear. Keep and reuse even if it was 2 years since the last time. 👍💚

Love the Look Book ! Amazing outfits

[@Lisamakes]

Gorgeous style, as always. I have a sewing KZbin channel and make the majority of my clothes, but I also love to buy second hand. It’s the best way to get the brands I like at good prices.

[@acminkus]

Lots of fun ideas here. The monster scarf in the second last outfit is so Canada!

[@dolphin7216]

Hi Alyssa! This could be your best video ever! Fascinating content, absorbing illustrations, just the right amount of personal speculation and then a delightful lookbook of the late unlamented year 2021. Brava!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

oh i'm so glad you liked it! Thank you for watching!

[@mdavisscadedu]

Great video. Your style is so appealing. And, it's interesting to see what you didn't wear as much as you thought you would in comparison to that which you wore more than you thought you would. Like everything else you do, you approach the evaluation of a year of wardrobe activity with clarity and power. I wonder what I would find if I evaluated my wardrobe today?

[@antoniaz]

Love how you promote Canadian lines. I try so hard to buy us, especially Montreal stuff. (I'm currently in love with my Frank Lyman fitted bronze puffer coat, my Danier camel wool coat, two Ever Sasy coats...) I live in Toronto mais je suis Montrealaise!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you! I was very very sad to let the black ones go :(

[@staceyknoell6339]

Thank you for another great video! I'm fairly new to your channel and you have provided so much inspiration for my closet. I just got a new job (well, 7 months ago) and we are now back in the office. I should say this is my first "office job" and my first impulse was to go shopping, but your videos helped me find several outfits among what I already own. Then, this past weekend I did decide to shop, but my only stop was a local thrift type store where I went in with the eye to create looks that are interchangeable. It seems obvious now, but I did not always shop that way. One more specific thing I appreciate is in the style recreation videos, you break down the elements of a look and then see how to re-create them. I appreciate when you say something like, "I would have never put this together before," because now I realize there are combinations in my closet already, I am freed up to find them. Thanks!

[@maryharper9321]

Love the looks

[@carmenlheureux5435]

So interesting from beginning to end! Thank you!

[@seriouslyinsanediva]

Very useful video Alyssa. I have have had no chance to wear 80% of my wardrobe for the past two years but I will not be getting rid of it for that reason. Everything is pretty much timeless and classic in only those colors which suit me. I can dress the pieces up or down. Now I just need somewhere to go!!! UGH.

[@raynaketchum5617]

Great review of your year! I'd love some advice on buttons. I noticed in another video you mentioned changing the buttons on a jacket to revive it. I'd love to know more about choosing buttons for older pieces!

[@sallymay5272]

All those looks: killing it. 👌

I think a lot is us didn’t have much whimsy this past year. 🤣 Really enjoyed your lessons learned and your fashion recap. I need to do a recap for myself. See what I am actually wearing in my closet. Thank you 😊

Great content as always! You have great taste and I like listening to you. It’s like a conversation with a friend.

Not even done watching, but I had to jump in and say: 1) I love that you're doing this video haha, and 2) YES to the point you've made a number of times about the "if you haven't worn it in a year, part with it" rule. I couldn't agree more with what you've said regarding occasion-wear, and I wanted to add that I feel the same applies to certain quality garments that may only suit your life . Case in point: I have giant feet that also require lots of support, haha. I had a pair of beautiful tall suede boots were both my size and extremely comfortable. However, because they had heels and I hadn't worn heels in awhile, I parted with them THINKING OF THAT DARN RULE. haha. I've regretted the move countless times since, and actually just managed to find their identical twin second-hand so yay, but I shouldn't have donated them in the first place. I'm so careful with the rest of my wardrobe that storing a single pair of boots that I love - but might only use here and there - should have been a no brainer, and I'm trying to carry that lesson forward.

I love your videos and your slow fashion tips are exactly what I need since I have such limited space. We are traveling around Europe in a camper and I want to seriously up my style game because European women are FABULOUS! We were in Seville last month and headed to Lisbon & Porto in February. I have a completely different body shape than you - 5’7” plus sized 16, very curvy (like my waist is a size smaller than my hips and legs) so working on using your methods but checking out other influencers for what will work best on my body.

Thanks to you and all the amazing work that you do I've started a little list last year where I'm writing down every piece of clothing that I'm buying. Also, the goal was to focus on second hand pieces. As much as I was able to stick to that I've also noticed I appreciate items a tiny bit more when they're brand new and not second hand. It's almost as if I feel better within myself 🙄 This is clearly driven by my ego and the messages we all get bombarded by every single day.. But it's something I want to focus on more this year. Love and appreciate my second hand items as much as brand new ones 💖

Hi Ieva! I think that is such a great reflection though - awareness about why we think a certain way can be really helpful xx Thank you for watching and the kind words! xx
