I love the skirt-bomber combo. Those colours really work and give it an elegance anthough I would characterize none of those as elegant

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

They do! It's funny, I think it's the simplicity of the outfit itself vs. the pieces that makes it work if that makes sense! xx

[@kimberlymarcus3257]

I believe all styles were a hit. No matter option you went with they all were great. I love how you pick someone else’s style knowing ahead of time you might not have something similar, but always make them your own. Beautiful

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you Kimberly for the kind words!

[@racheljank1163]

Umm, LOVE the bomber with that skirt. It works as a kind of tonal scheme with the skirt, matches the texture of the shoes, and I think it is a mix of styles as well - a more masculine jacket with a fun, feminine skirt. Love the creativity and the play here!

[@amaranthx3627]

This video perfectly demonstrates how to take inspiration from someone's style or outfit and not just imitate. You're amazing at pulling elements and moods from outfits and making it your own. I'm learning so much from you! 💕

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching! xx

[@genenecianciulli3675]

Loved this video, all of them actually! Recently, I have been feeling defeated by Pinterest. How could I ever come up with a perfectly edited fashion masterpiece? You have completely changed my opinion! You are so talented! Xoxox

[@jimandjudyc48]

Loved how you showed us two options for each look. This is exactly how most women would decide what to wear from their closets...try this, try that! All the looks were great, in my opinion.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you Judy! It really is - how many times have we walked around with two shoes on!? Lol

[@jennyparfum]

I like that you explain why you choose which piece.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

So glad you find that helpful! xx

@@AlyssaBeltempo "Copying" might be the sincerest form of flattery, but even that can be 🙆‍♀️tricky to do when you're working from your own ➡️limited⬅️ wardrobe &/or narrow vision. 💖 Love your unwavering confidence going into these exercises, and also the fact you never get 😔discouraged or overwhelmed😖 by what you don't own. You simply persevere & process your way through it.👏 Your optimism is catchy! 👩‍🏫Actually, your clever tutorials urge us to go beyond the copy cat🙀 stage. You are improving & sharpening our critical analysis & understanding of each look by breaking down specific elements of the original inspiration as well as your recreations. There's an art & science to Fashion. The former might contain a bit of 🪄 magic, but there is plenty of room for us to sharpen our eyes👀 & skills. That's why it helps when you not only think out loud about different options, but you articulate how one item may serve better over another. 👩‍💼Appreciate the fact you give two alternatives. The comparison helps train us, esp. when seen side by side. It allows room for our own personal preferences to come into play too👍. 🙋‍♀️ I am typically a doubting Debbie @ the start, but you manage to 🎉win🎉 me over almost every time. All your outfits turn out lovely, but usually one look will vibe with me more than the other. 🤦‍♀️That's saying a lot for someone who is 🚫 a big risk taker, and also has some pretty rigid ideas of what I'll wear. Like that you encourage us to try 🆕 combinations & 🤔 think outside the box📦 in terms of how some garment might've been originally intended. Thankful that in the end, you also give us permission to be true to our own instincts & style. 💚 Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

[@christinezwicke1002]

Again, love the format so much. Choose the look, map the silhouette and pieces within, shop your closet and adapt, adapt...to make it your own. Of the three, I love the no.2 look (with black strappies and edgy red bag) so much. XX

[@freefallingintograce4634]

Ciao Alyssa! Of COURSE they were all a hit. How could they not - it's YOU! 👍🥰 I must admit - I'm so surprised by how much I loved the red shirt with the "floofy" skirt. Such an interesting combo. Well done, as always! Thank you. Started adding accents of red to my closet. It's really fun! Baby steps for me though.😎💖🙈 Have a great rest of Sunday! 💕🌺 Have a great Mother's Day celebration with your family. It's my mum's birthday - she would've been 80 today.💕Your mum's radiant presence reminds me so much of my mum's.🙏💖💖💖

[@louisedolloff836]

I like the bomber with the floofy skirt better. The shine of the bomber makes the floofy skirt more playful

[@frenchstyle7038]

I love that you always have a colorful outfit. I am not a beige person and a pop of color instantly elevates my mood. My favorite was the first one. Your version was better in my opinion.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Oooh I'm so glad you liked it thank you for watching! xx

[@fanirivers4505]

Try the fluffy skirt look with the nude sandals and the trench coat of the first look.

[@Divinenubian]

I love this shop your closet series, instead of constant unboxings.. Today I will also find a Sunday look and attempt to recreate it. Thank you!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Yay! Have fun shopping your closet Owani! xx

[@iruleba]

OMG! I would never have thought of pairing the fluffy skirt with the printed blazer, but they came out red carpet worth!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you Andrea! xx

[@kathyffarney-keck8593]

Loving the Italian style. I'm glad you have a new purse. Purses are my jam. I over compensate with them because I have trouble finding shoes for my long feet.

[@maureentakach3065]

You have such a gift of having a vision and pulling it off from what you already have. Again, I'm so in love with that shiny patterned blazer in the last one.

[@carlosruiz184]

I like all the looks but I definitely prefer the skirt with the bomber jacket! I loooove the skirt and the jacket, such good pieces.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

thank you! they are both about 5-6 years old but solid! xx

[@kfelong3111]

Slouch bag v. Red. Slouch for the win! Great example of why you have to try things and play with your closet! That's what I love here.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

yes - trial and error usually ends up in fun outfits! Thank you for watching! xx

[@TheAmiMom]

Loved the leather belt added to the white shirt!!! And both of the looks with the floofy skirt! I had to laugh because I have nothing even remotely floofy, but it was fun seeing how both those looks did well with a white skirt, which I do have!

[@MPOTX]

The last look with the tapestry bomber was so beautiful! My favorite look today!

[@RB-os7qw]

I love that you broke down the looks by essence. That makes it SO much more achievable! Thanks

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

YES! I'm so glad you like the concept :)

[@RB-os7qw]

@@AlyssaBeltempo Very much so, I've been watching a few of your videos of late: how any items of clothing would you say you have in your wardrobe? And how many of them do you wear more than once a year? I need to invest in a whole new wardrobe, and would love to know how many pieces are the working minimum to create a sustainable, reusable, all season selection.

[@allannagreen3034]

All of the looks were a hit for me this time. My fave was the black and white with pop of red.have a wonderful week!

[@irairod5160]

With look number 1, I prefer the red bag. Granted, I am a RED lover through and through, so my eyes always go to it.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

It seems to be the winner for most! xx

[@catherineanderson4755]

Wonderful new format by your closet Alyssa! Your style channel is my favorite, you are always innovative, super creative and so inspiring! My favorite look on you was the white shirt, black skirt, red bag! Gorgeous!

[@vibekesonntag3447]

The way you break the looks down into style elements is very educational. Thanx!!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

yay! That's what I'm after! Especially with the live event! Thank you for watching!

[@sandramaki7819]

Love the red bag in all the looks! For last look, I prefer the bomber jacket with the skirt. It makes you taller and leaner. Same thing with the nude shoes and black skirt. Of course, I am petite and I am always looking for ways to make myself taller! Amazing and inspiring video as always Alyssa! Thanks for what you do. 💚💚💚

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you so much Sandra! I'm glad you're still liking these videos! xx

[@francinepuskarich5755]

I love the black and white outfit with the skirt best.....you can also loop your new pretty bag through your belt.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you for the suggestion Francine that's so smart! xx

[@7777bren]

I Love that black "leather" belt of yours that wraps around. I wish I knew where to find one.

[@kathysteele3071]

I love this! While my first inclination was to go out and buy that pink blazer, you made me THINK about what made the look and what might be in my closet....While I’m not always sure while you are putting it together, it’s magic at the end. 😍

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Ooh I'm so glad that is what I'm after with these videos! Thank you for watching Kathy xx

[@michelleclark8099]

Me too. Alyssa’s thoughts behind the look opens up more options, for me, as well.

[@odessasudeku9985]

The last look...amazed!

[@nancyharris9909]

Alyssa, they were all hits! I liked the red bag (great bag BTW) in the first look and my favorite was the last one with the red shirt. I didn't realize how much I like red until seeing you style the color in such creative ways. Thanks again and looking forward to the next styling event!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Oh thank you so much Nancy! It will be great to have you again! :) xx

[@sinnombre4357]

Loved the 1st combo. You can also wear the red bag around the waist with a belt; it'd look interesting. The last inspiration; I think you have a beige suit that reminds me of those pants.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

great idea! And YES - the linen beige suit pants could have also worked, so smart! xx

[@eliali6484]

It's amazing how different becomes the silhouette with different bags! According to me the bag color is fundamental because it changes the color ratio - the white bag makes the outlook basically monochromatic with a little pop of red and the red bag makes it basically contrasting, very bold and powerful. I believe there is no right or better here but what effect we want - more gentle or more bold.

[@katem3961]

I could not have worded this better. It was exactly what I was thinking. 😃 💜💙

[@rbraxton00]

I like the red bag in the first look and the champagne shoe in the second look. Love the pop of red in the last look.

[@pjalexandra]

wow you have impressed me with that first look. it was so unique in the photo I couldn't see how you were going to pull it off, but you not only nailed it, you got me thinking about how I could pull off something similar even though it was not on my radar until 2 minutes ago :) Although the red bag is gorgeous I really dig the slouchy bag and how it plays with the scarf colours too.

[@happywarrior8277]

All three outfits looked great. Alyssa, you can make statement belts look so good. No easy thing with the crisp white shirt - printed skirt and waist detail in the photo.

[@vivettegarciadeister2751]

I think the word you were looking for is continuity ;). It totally works

[@b.walker5955]

Flu-effy. Totally, Flueffy. Always love it when you get out that skirt. Best purchase EVER. Well, equally as fabulous as your Power of My People white button down. ENVY.

[@charjack2]

That last look, floofy skirt w red shirt 👌

[@lamaldo6237]

Shop Your Closet is my fave series! All 3 were Hits and loved the fringe skirt - cropped blazer. Thanks!!!

[@anntoinettehaley9108]

Yeah! Love a red bag.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

yay! Thank you for watching Anntoinette! xx

[@joyous2theworld]

I love love love that little red handbag bits perfect.

[@olacampobella7240]

Great looks, the 3rd with the print bomber is my favorite 😍 and the chilling cat 😻

[@suepenfold3680]

Looking at outfit 3 reminded me of Jenna Lyons and her amazing style where she combines very casual (denim or kharki shirts) with a frothy or sequinned skirt. Or reverses it and pairs a fancy top with kharki chinos or denim on the bottom. Such an inspiration for me.

[@trustchristy8769]

On your 3rd look, if you were walking towards me in the red shirt, I would think, “Hmmmm...” whereas if you sashayed in the bomber, I’d smile and think, “Oh! Lovely!” My two cents worth 😁❤️

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

haha thanks for watching Christy! Noted! xx

[@xeniatupitsyna1026]

I loved the fluffy skirt + silk jacket look the most, because I naturally tend toward what would work with my own features and complexion. Thanks for the inspiration and the deconstruction of the looks! It is fascinating to watch! While watching I had an idea of using a scarf as a belt for the second look, and then ta-da, you pulled a tie black belt. :) So much fun!

[@fanirivers4505]

Loved both fluffy skirt looks.

[@vickigordon8311]

I would have liked to have seen the red bag with the cross body style- but all look fabulous!

[@agnesdp1855]

All your styles are a hit, Alyssa. And I think hot pink would look great on you.

[@jerrydanaseagle1585]

Love your style and prefer your choices to the designer outfits.

[@janeworton2197]

Wonderful looks! If you are taking a tally, I preferred the slouchy pouch in the first look and the red shirt in the third look.

[@fanirivers4505]

I loved your version of the monochrom look with pop of color.

[@michelleclark8099]

The first one I plan to do this week. It is very classy artistic. Another one I will try as well: I want to try my muted pink net midi ballet type skirt with my muted pink “leather” baseball cap, for the same tonal color and different style look.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Oooh that sounds amazing Michelle! xx

[@carlagiampietro5172]

Bellissimi outfits! I prefer a lot your outfit than the others!! Bravissima, grazie!! Terrific the fluffy skirt with the red shirt! Ciao!!

[@celiathirlwall3329]

Great looks, Alyssa! I love how the fluffy skirt and printed jacket turned out!! I thoroughly enjoy these 'shop your closet' videos!

[@razRosalba]

I think they were all on point!! Amazing to me how you pulled it all together just out of your closet!!

[@anniehovsepian6173]

The 3rd look, WOW love it with the red shirt it really pops. In comparison to the inspiration you went for, given the choice I LOVE the recreation you did. I'm looking through my closet I have a coral blouse and khaki pants I think would work. THANK YOU!!

[@patriciahorgan2584]

Really enjoyed the video - but the bomber jacket is beautiful - and goes so well with the skirt - so although I am not sure it reflects the Italian blogger's look as well - it is the winner for me.

[@dlsolof]

That red bag is great! Though I do agree with your slight preference for the slouchy bag in that one look 😉

[@TheZeyre]

Hi Alyssa, You did a superb job with these looks! Especially the silver jacket with the fluffy skirt! The red bag is such a fun addition! Happy Mother's Day! Xoxo Joanne🌹🌹🌹

[@lynnebarren2410]

Well done.☺all styles worked well and were great examples of riffing from a theme.

[@Di-eq7wn]

I liked all the looks. My only slight negative was the red bag has a hint of a hot water bottle about it 😉 maybe that’s just me 🤗 love this series, great to hear your thoughts putting pieces together. Very good interpretation of the chosen looks xx

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

Hits!! Loved both looks in numbers two and three. The print jacket version in number 3 gives a dressier vibe so I like that it’s very different than the bloused version.

First look red bag for sure😀 Your videos are giving me a whole new way of looking at my closet that was definitely needed. I need to stop adding and start utilizing what I have ( which is plenty) to invigorate my wardrobe👍 Second look I agree; I like the strappy sandal.....surprisingly! Third look I prefer the blazer,the red was a great idea but a bit too stark for me.

[@kelleyamador8838]

Your looks were super nice, really pretty and classy!

[@claudiakuhn4953]

[@BudgetLady]

I ❤️❤️❤️ the first look. I will try to put this one together from my closet!

[@leahlw2853]

LOVE the bomber jacket + skirt - they create such a harmonious look since they're both so light, yet the dark details in the bomber pick up your dark hair. The red is fun, too, especially if you don't want too seem too "fancy." Great work!

[@elizabethscott9695]

Miss Alyssa, my Sunday morning coffee companion! I loved this video and your creative way of putting looks together. I agree with the comments about seeing “two” different style ideas for each look. It is exactly how we look through our closet so thank you. I loved all the looks but especially #3 with your jacket. That jacket defines you and is my favourite piece to see you wear and style. So happy to see you have another “live shop your closet event” coming up. I’ll be there ... Happy Mother’s Day to your sweet Mom and to you (Apollo’s Mom).

Love these shop your closet videos. Really helps me up my style game. I was laughing to myself on look #1, when you headed for your closet in search of some color. I thought, its gotta be red and that poppy scarf at the neck. Is it weird that I know what is in your closet? Wish mine was as well curated. I'm working on it. BTW, agree the slouchy bag has a better vibe for #1.
