How to ACTUALLY Find Your Style & Make BETTER Outfits

[@alyssarudman]

What are the three adjectives that define your core style?

[@cathrynkk4582]

comfortable - classic - soft. I noticed that I tend to lean towards clothes that are simple, casual and with sporty elements even though I wish I would wear more edgy, elevated pieces that have more style and character in them. As always, love your videos!

[@alyssarudman]

So glad to hear that! Maybe “edgy” could be one of your optional words that you layer on top of your core style when it makes sense for you?

[@PuripuriDrawings]

Just listening 1 min and I take my hat off yet ❤ Those 12 competencies sounds so interesting and smart! You always bring us so high quality content, one of my top 3 styling/kibbe-related channels indeed 🎉

[@alyssarudman]

You’re so kind! I’m super excited that you’re finding the 12 competencies interesting because I’m planning to talk about them a lot more!

[@Joyce_Brito]

Carefree, fun, feminine I love your videos!! Thank you

[@lightdancervaughn1447]

Love this video! Be- Comfortable Feel- Sensual (fabrics) Look- Elegant ( long vertical line)

[@eve_in_paris]

Effortless, current and elegant! Thanks for this interesting video, I like the list of the 12 components of personal style 👍

[@alyssarudman]

Love your words and I'm so glad you found it interesting! And I'll definitely be revisiting that list in the coming year. I'd like to hit all of the topics at least once!

[@jennettefox7713]

Simple, refined, and soft

[@alyssarudman]

Love! How did you come up with your words?

[@jennettefox7713]

@@alyssarudman I’ve been working on those words for quite a while. I also like to season them with a little whimsy now and then.

[@wanjiruthoithi5047]

This is such a helpful video. My three words are natural, classic and wildcard (I always need one item that subverts the classic description)

[@alyssarudman]

So glad you found it helpful! I love how you’ve chosen to include tension/balance within your core style with the wildcard 🥰 that combination is bound to create tons of creative and interesting looks!

[@andreacote6405]

This is an excellent video!! I loved all the outfits on you especially the striped blouse…so cute! I think my words would be casual, sporty, simple.

[@alyssarudman]

Thank you! Next time we talk, I want to hear more about your three words 🥰

[@eliakazmi]

Romantic-Innovative-Exotic, what a cool concept! Definitely made me reflect a lot on what I want my style to portray

[@alyssarudman]

Such a creative combination!

[@annaoze]

❤Lilysilk Simple, soft classic My personal style is very unfussy - jeans, skirts, sweaters, button downs, sweater-blazers and loafers. 👏video!

[@alyssarudman]

So glad you liked it! Your style sounds so comfy yet chic 🥰

[@PhiveofThree]

Sophisticated. Edgy. Comfortable.

[@RP-xr3dj]

Comfortable - Put together - Pretty

[@stargirlofantares9053]

This was interesting. Free + Colorful + Bohemian.

[@alyssarudman]

So glad you found it interesting! I love the concept of “free” within your style words. It gives such a sense of mood, shape, and physical feeling

[@stargirlofantares9053]

@@alyssarudman I like to feel freedom in my clothes, but also free to wear what I want no matter my age. Also free in the sense of free to be very comfortable and casual. Free is a freeing kind of word!! Lol 😂

[@chrissyuy]

This exercise was extremely helpful and enlightening. It helped even more to define my terms. Feel: COMFORTABLE (sensible, appropriate, secure, at ease, casual) Be: PLAYFUL (unique, humorous, joyful, adventurous, artistic, fun) Look: FEMININE (soft, modest, sexy)

[@alyssarudman]

I love how you chose three main words but added further definition with your sub-words too!

[@dessyandonova]

Stylish, minimalistic, natural

[@eveded]

It is wild to me that I have never been able to put my ideal core style into words! Everything you put out is always so incredibly helpful ❤ I think the feeling of Pictorialist Photography Movement comes to mind after thinking about it. CORE STYLE comfotable - dark - romantic Comfortable: Every piece of clothing needs to feel good on my skin + shoes need to always feel cozy or supportive. Texture is also a factor, I always love a knit. Dark: I felt like this one was the most difficult to determine, however it is definitely 2nd on my priority scale. I was in-between Gothic, Edgy, Mysterious, etc but none felt right. What draws me to all of those styles is the darkness. Romantic: Most abstract I think. When I say Gothic, I don't mean Goth. I like always feeling sexy but not the bombshell VS kind. More like a soft wet rose on a brisk summer night type of sexy. This could also just be the colors I end up wearing - Burgundies over Red. I also feel like Romantic is more organic than a sharp "typical" sexy.

[@alyssarudman]

This is a perfect analysis!! I love the thought you put into each word and how you ranked them by importance. Your style sounds amazing, I would love to see some of your outfits 🥰

[@eveded]

So would I haha I am still in the process of figuring out how to dress with my body and how to curate my wardrobe. However, finally being able to put words to my core style is a game changer! Really excited for my wardrobe to unravel ☺

[@livebynumber1733]

light + whimsical + undone

[@alyssarudman]

Such a unique combo!

[@stravagantares]

So well scripted videos! I've been watching one after the other. Keep up with this great work! ❤

[@alyssarudman]

Thank you! So glad you are enjoying them, and I hope you're finding them useful. Are there any topics you are currently struggling with?

[@stravagantares]

@@alyssarudman oh well thanks for asking, I was initially watching out of curiosity for kibbe bodytype system. (I am a tomboy, my intention for my look is not presenting female at all, but still watching cause it's interesting 😅)

[@bradadam9925]

How do you do that button hack?

[@alyssarudman]

Choose three buttons on your shirt to work with. Unbutton the top one and bottom one out of the three. Button the top button in the bottom hole. Then button the bottom button in the top hole. Mess with it a little to make it sit nice, and you’re done! 🥰

[@marinalima9576]

Effortless - Refined - Minimal

[@alyssarudman]

That sounds so serene in the best way possible. How did you come up with your words?

[@adhunaparui9408]

Elegant-simple-feminine

[@alyssarudman]

Such a beautiful combination 🥰

[@Rayray_ray_ray]

[@ladykadiijha]

[@alyssarudman]

Sounds so cool! Would love to see some of your looks 🥰

[@mariawinkler6091]

Delicate+ classy+ strong Wasn't the founder of "Tibi" the first one who came up with the 3-word-style idea??

[@alyssarudman]

I love the tension that comes from including delicate and strong in your three words! I don’t know who came up with the three word method first, but I did link Tibi (Amy Smilovic) in the description as a reference. Using three words to define a brand has been around in marketing for a long time as well.

[@maryam_nn]

feminine, vibrant, chic. By vibrant I mean vibrant colors, so that I exude my happiness to the world. is that the right word to use?

[@alyssarudman]

I think that's a great word to use if it resonates with you!

[@passioncompassionhumorstyle]

Playful, nostalgia, carefree
