ABOUT DRESSRELIEF
My name is Mariel, and I started getting into fashion in the past few years and am learning so much about it. I'm drawn to fashion as I believe it is an art form that not only allows individuals to express themselves but also creates a history and record of different time periods and generations. I've had a lot of fun learning how to put together outfits and use different styles to tell a story through the way I dress. I started this channel to share what I learn along my fashion journey and hopefully help others learn and find their style as well.
I post videos at least every other week, mostly regarding fashion but may include a few beauty/makeup and lifestyle related videos as well. If you're interested in this content, please give my channel a shot and subscribe!

one of the most underrated accessories imo is suspenders! there's the classic leather, but also woven or even embroidered ones. they're perfect for a vintage or academia vibe, and they even fit some fantasy or adventurer outfits as well

[@dressrelief]

Yes that’s also a great idea!!

[@analys1422]

A no make up look with a bold lip, I a great accessory and cheap. I’m 61 I wear whatever I want most definitely out of my age range, but who cares, be you always! I have always loved fashion, since I was a kid, and wore things that I just love. The older I get The bolder I am . Great video , kudos ♥️👑

[@c0Le_sLaw]

i’m 20 and i love seeing older ladies that just don’t give a fuck. there’s an 80 year old that works at my library that has a bright orange hat and matches her lips and stockings to it. it’s kinda inspiring and icomforting to know that i can still be cool as i age.

[@SmokyMtnSparks]

I feel you on not conforming your style into merely what society sees as age appropriate. It can take a while to be confident. As a teen in the 80s I really wanted to dress like Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan. But I lacked the confidence. Now I think I might give it a try. Maybe add it into my rotation of style aesthetics.

some of my favorites ways to accesories : - vests/sweaters vest/waistcoats - bengels - chunky earings ( my favs are jhumka earings) - ties ( the more funky the better ) - trinkets ( on you're bags , belt loops , jeans ) - pins - broches ( they are so underated ) - scarfs ( fun colors , patern , size ) - big scrunchies or cool hairstyles - mixing silver and gold ( trust me it look good )

[@jadencooke9444]

Another way to accessorize could maybe be like body art, prob mostly like henna and permanent and/or temporary tats and stuff but you could also just… draw.. on yourself. Maybe a little chaotic, but maybe also kind of fun and different.. something you don’t really see a ton of…

[@pixelzebra8440]

I LOVE henna it’s like a tattoo without the commitment and it looks so freaking pretty

[@pixelzebra8440]

Also I got a lot of compliments last time I got henna if that’s what you’re looking for lol

[@Meowmanoo]

This is a really unique one if you have a dark skirt you can grab your small earrings and put it on them so it looks detailed

[@imogendowling2574]

i enjoy adding a waistcoat/vest to my outfits, it instantly elevates it! i also have my signature jewelry + a new pair of anatomical heart earrings a friend made - they make some cool earrings in general, so i will be expanding my funky earring collection

[@squad-tb6ph]

fr vest/sweatervest are my signature pieces and they elevate so much an outfit and look like you took time to think of the layering but it's simple!

[@BetsyTacyGirl]

I love adding vintage hats when possible :) Fun video :) My current favorite accessory is a pair of Pride and Prejudice book earrings.

[@dressrelief]

Sounds cute! Pride and prejudice has been on my reading list forever, i should get to it!

[@Ilovevintage77]

I will comment to some more later, but oh my goodness I feel accessories really put the cherry on top of any outfit and can make a minimalist outfit something even more stunning! I love accessories and will comment more with the ones I love best later I have to run right now! 💕💕💕💕 thank you for another amazing video Mariel

[@Angel...............]

You got me so exited to try things out now! I didn´t know about some of those accessories before either so I´ll definitively check those things out. I love the Art Nouveau jewelery included in some of the pictures and I can definitively see those go well with Fairycore of Whimsigothic stuff. And for further DIY stuff there are Wire Jewelry and different kind of metal clays like silver clay et , that is more intense and takes some stuff to get started with tho.

[@Leeeesalein]

thank you for mentioning the small (jewelry) artists! We're greatful for the support 💖🤗

[@jaiyana73]

Perfect accessory advice, absolutely love your style ❤

[@lurdezrodriguez]

I got in Luv with the sweater Ur wearing ... And in a good luck momento i found a look alike in a local thrift store... The moment i saw it in the rack i remembered u and Ur vid... Hugs from El Salvador

[@Katie_v]

oh, you just reminded me that I have a collection of sweater clips that I never wear! 😅 Also i have to check out those nail rings ... I'm too impatient to paint my nails anymore.

*Accessorizing tips* 1. Mix & match aesthetics (example wear a masculine outfit with feminine jewelry and hair) 2. Use accessories to change an outfit’s vibe > kinda similar to tip 1(example u have a basic outfit and then add a knit bag and butterfly necklace) 3. Experience with maximalism+minimalism 4. Match accessories to ur outfits colour palette 5. Wear items in an unintended way (example wearing a scarf as a belt instead of a scarf) 6. Use accessories to change the silhouette (example ur wearing a loose shirt u can tie a belt at the waist for a diff silhouette) 7. Diy accessories > nobody will be able to replicate u, therefore u stand out look unique and cool (example adding patches on ur pants) 8. Support local/small shops/artists > they are often handmade so u look cool & unique like in tip 7 9. Take a look at vintage accessories/thrifting 10.

[@AyePee3]

lmao i have the same pj pants haha so comfy

[@stupor_mundi]

This was a lot of fun, took a lot of ideas from this like pinning down fabric to create a draping effect, so beautiful 😍 Omg I have that hair comb at 11:41, Rose's butterfly comb from Titanic, it was such a splurge for me at the time lol I recently found my great grandfather's cufflinks, I want to wear them but I dread losing them. Also, is perfume an accessory? Because your scent can also impact how you come across to others.

[@basket.8case]

put pins and buttons on your bag!!! a lot of them and put different sizes

[@wooferb0b]

where's your sweater from?

[@lunaorta4125]

Where do you shop for those accessories and jewelry. My issue is that I don't know ~where~ to look

[@sydneylee1936]

tbh all of my favorite accessories are from the thrift!! definitely always scout out your thrift stores jewelry cases, bags, scarves, and hats. i feel like accessories are less picked through at the thrift too and it’s easier to find great items

[@yadiaag7771]

Depends. It matters what you love to see. Sometimes I wear an entire outfit Zero accessories and then go to the mall and try on stuff or hold them up. Thrift store has some of the cheapest and most unique but wear what you love. I’m not going to buy pink or fluffy cutesy things but things that I do love like Afghanistan jewelry, Indian jewelry is extremely hard to come by where I live so I go thrift stores. Hats, scarves, belts are the cheapest at thrift stores but quality matters over anything. It doesn’t matter how adorable a scarf print is if the item looks like you got it at the dollar store, SHEIN or cheap Temu.

[@user-ym7ie9in9q]

I’ve been looking for that jumper everywhere where did u buy it 😭
