What outfit recipes are we rockin' on repeat these days?? 🔁

[@xoxos_drawings]

Alooooooot of button ups and vests

[@oliverthegorgon5281]

Vest, midi skirt, and platform shoes

[@BG_NC]

At work, button ups and slacks every day. Outside of work, I've been thriving on the masculine + feminine recipe

[@mlemenager]

Feminine and utilitarian Funky button up and maxi skirt Warm and cool contrasting palettes

[@kaytemnorwood]

Pockets on pockets. Also, almighty EGG

[@Gus.Martin.Rollerblading]

Kathleen is COOKIN'! 🔥Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how much love and care Kathleen puts into these videos? So dang good

[@hanniballecter1960]

LETS GOOOO we always let kathleen cook over here ur so right gus

[@fettucinelimbs]

Kathleen, I absolutely ADORE the way you don't give a darn tootin' about "fashion rules," like the hatred toward "frumpy" outfits and not calling attention to (awesome!!) hips/undesirable parts of the body. The way you make me rethink the combinations in my closet to find something completely new and different! like I'm abt to cry omg, your vibes are incredible :]

[@missspiderbaby]

I have to wear scrubs 5 days a week. So on the weekends I have no idea what to wear. Outfit recipes will definitely give me a good starting point. Thanks for the help. 😁

[@janemahan2663]

"Frumpy" IS a curse word for us over seventy stylin' people! Ha! You are such a joy to watch, Kathleen....

[@lisa_wistfulone7957]

I’m in my 50s and came here to rewatch this one, and it is a Joy to find your comment here!!☺️💖✨

[@IAdoreIdolFlorida]

Ended up creating my own outfit recipes from some pin searchin that really narrow in on femme + masc. I encourage my gender expansive pals to try these out! Oversize graphic tee + maxi skirt + chunky boot: with a men’s graphic tee you can get that more masc silhouette and you can even throw on a men’s blazer Dress over button down + tie: rock the formal men’s wear under a dress and you are living large Oversized frill collar + long sleeve top + men’s pants: a huge frill collar can be layered over a sweater to get a really boxy look with a touch of feminine. I think more businessy men’s pleated pants look good with this. You can play with ties and bows too! Jumpsuit/coveralls + blouse: you’re a working man in a working world but you like to be a lil dainty. Consider also mesh instead of blouse. Femme shirt + masc pants: literally just pair a blouse with some business men’s pants. Add a belt with big hardware to masc it up. Thanks Kathleen for the inspiration! Since I’m afab the advice for me to dress androgynous is usually “just wear men’s clothes” but ya boi wants to wear dresses still. I hope the trans stinkies in the comments see this and try some new outfits too!

[@GingerRootss]

Love this!!!! I'm TAKING NOTES!!

[@rooftopknights]

an outfit recipe i've been wearing a lot this summer is very big pants + tiny top + flowy overlayer which in my wardrobe mostly looks like oversized linen joggers/harem pants + a cropped tank top + big button up or a scarf as a cloak

[@emilymaeflower93]

where are you buying harem pants from? (i’m plus size) i’ve been trying to find some and not having a ton of success. what brands do you like?

[@airportcat]

@@emilymaeflower93 not exactly a harem pant, but i love the Alexa trousers from Lucy & Yak! wide size range, though be warned they run large

[@emilymaeflower93]

@@airportcat oh!! ive wanted to try those but im in the US so theyre expensive to ship and try on and mail back, so your recommendation (and tip about sizing) is very appreciated. thanks! :)

[@thepastelgothunicorn6543]

i NEED that pattern clashing video! i feel so scared to mix patterns but i really want to try it because it looks so cool in other people! and i love all of your tips so kathleen there's no one i would trust more to teach me about that than you ❤

[@aleatoirefrancais]

I agree! I'd love help pattern clashing.

[@mnrv_nn]

i love how you explained WHY pieces work together. i think thats the most important reason to understand the reason you enjoy something. like when i look at outfits i want to understand why i like them so i can pull specific aspects into my own outfits. thank you for describing how your outfits worked together with like actual vocab and reasoning. that helps me so much to understand why an outfit may or may not be working and how to love more fits i put together 💕

[@bridgetbaker7529]

Love a frumpy moment. My go to winter outfit recipie is big vintage sweater (what some may call an "ugly sweater")+ little skirt+ tights + boots. It has been too hot to function this summer so a go to outfit has been sundress + hat + sneakers. Loved the inclusion of the pink skirt in the masc + fem outfit and how it was styled there.

[@maiazine]

alright so... 1. i vote for you to publish "kathleen's little dictionary of fashion" because your fashion vocab and adjectives are SOMETHING 🤓 2. 3:52 that green set was MADE for YOU. you 🎸 that color 3. still laughing at the tomato and edame summer line. 4. in actuality each quotation is just a video topic were all waiting for... 5. girrlllll rock those hiPs I've spent all my life wanting a pair 😗 6. 7:52 the shirt 😩 7. okay can I just go shop your closet. it's a sin to have so many cute items belong to only one human 😑 8. 12:45 now there is my FAVORITE FIT OF ALL 9. can i enroll in a Kathleen creative 'dialoging' workshop? 10. how did 17min pass sOOO quickly???? 🌞 thank you so much for working with me! you deserve all the subbies that there are, you're a dancing sun ray 🌞

[@KathleenIllustrated]

you're so kind!!! thanks friend

[@knitsoft]

Frumpy bumpkins forever 🎉

[@julierosemodelproductions]

"does this have a pocket?" the answer should always be yes :D do you have an article of clothing that you wish had pockets? potential vid idea to sew some pockets places?? :P

[@gypsyjade7170]

I love this ❤

[@phedran]

Yes! I've been thinking of adding pockets to some of my non pocket items soon as a starter sewing project.

[@opeitsmeganlee]

I needed to hear the "frumpy talk" today. Thank you!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

You got it! I’m a certified hype woman!

[@jdixon452]

I looooovvve this! I really liked watching you build, deconstruct, rebuild, switch and talk through the process ... it feel real & genuine and SAFE to hear you say, ' I don't know if I like this' or ' Why am I not wearing this more' ... all very true things that can happen in the creative process! TY for being YOU ❤

[@moony647]

I love you so much. I have felt so much more comfortable and cute just putting items together from my own closet that I didn’t think to put together. I feel like I’ve refreshed my style without having to buy anything and it’s amazing

[@yvonnemurphy7487]

I like rocking punk with granny styles or industrial with flowy, femme. garden party vibes together.

[@femkeneleflo]

Thanks, Kathleen! Not only for the video but you also just taught me it´s ´quote unquote´, not ´quote on quote´ (which didn´t make any sense to me anyway but apparently I never bothered to look it up)... 🤓

[@blaireshoe8738]

I couldn't put my finger on why I preferred the patterned fit at 15:49 with the floral skirt to the floral top's version, until I remembered advice from @andreasfashiongalaxy - Your hair color can contribute to your outfit's color palette and overall balance, so if you bring that color down into the bottom half of your outfit (bottoms or purse/belt+shoes for example), it can help the outfit feel a bit more balanced (which isn't always the vibe, all looks are fun and valid). All this to say, the saturation/black in the skirt brings the saturation/black (or very very dark brown, idk what your camera does to it) of your hair down into the rest of the fit which tickled my monkey brain in the nice way, and having it in the top but having the bottom be so much lighter and desaturated still gave "she knows she mixed patterns so she must be cool", but less monkey-brain-tickles. I actually do prefer both looks to the full set of either, for the simple contrast of saturation levels, which is not to say that I don't like the sets, just that this is a very fun spin on them that really lets each piece shine. I'm off to watch Maia's video :D

[@BG_NC]

I love that you said you should have steamed the edamame set 😂

[@rochelle2758]

I love the hypermasculine/hyperfeminine combo, which makes a lot of sense to me as a very femme person who is (or feels) a little on the tall side. I've longed to be a tiny teacup since puberty, so I love an oversized men's shirt or blazer with a pretty floral or a little lace.

[@ReignBeauofTerror]

More outfit recipes, please! These videos are so good for me, rn. I've been struggling to put together outfits that feel like "me" and these are so helpful as I explore!

[@machine_maggot]

as a child i wasn’t allowed tv for more than an hour a day and absolutely no phone, tablet, gaming consoles, computer. although my mum went overkill, it did awaken a love of fashion in me as my main form of entertainment was playing “dress up” with a trunk full of halloween costumes. recently as i’ve grown up there’s not time in my day for that obviously. or so i thought. your channel constantly reminds me fashion SHOULD BE fun and an ongoing experiment. more feeling good than anything and over time it teaches you what looks good (for you.) ty for your videos :3 they really brighten up even the gloomy days

[@ParksAndCreature]

I don’t have a “normal” body because I have a big tummy but I’ve had a mastectomy so I am completely flat on top and kinda look like I have the body shape of the grinch! But finding your channel (and subsequently watching ALL of your videos) has been a huge style inspiration for me and I have felt more comfortable than ever by using your ideas and tips and hearing your perspective on different looks! Thank you SO much for making these videos it’s such a huge help

[@MeridaEllaSDB]

90 seconds in and I’m already certain this is an awesome collab. Great energy. I’ll sub her channel after this video ❤

[@iliveinletters_]

The groovy pattern clashing fit is SO GOOD

[@shaynannigans]

The last two outfits with the different patterns looked so good! The masc/femm outfit looked the hardest. I always just add a tie or bow tie for masc looks so I would want you to try that sometime! ❤

[@sierrarichardson3196]

My Sunday consisted of watching a slew of Kathleen videos, and now Monday we have this gem 💎 Keep rockin’ it, you lovely Ohioan!

[@ivania321]

yes yes Kathleen that is a Posh Bear aesthetic and I like it. i like it a lot. I have a farmer's blouse with stripes so I wanna see what I can do with that the rest of the summer. :) oooh this so good. I am so excited

[@dianebettin4302]

I just found your channel last week and I love it! I am older, but I love your vibe and fun style ideas! So inspirational!

[@justyouraveragenerd1493]

perfect, just in time for dressing nice for back to school (aaagggghhhh)

[@stellistin]

I kinda thought that I had outfit recipes. But I think I broke them all. I used to pretty much only wear high waisted skirt/ pants + tucked in top/ t-shirt + cardigan. These days I just combine my pieces until I like the outfit. I also like to try putting colours together that usually don't go together. Blue and Green. Pink and Red. Trying things that are out of your comfort zone like the low waisted bottoms were for kathleen is also great to mix it up. I recently added mock necks and smocked tops to my wardrobe. And I love it. Never thought I would say that : )

[@lilyancurtis8596]

I like a tight base layer with baggy outerwear. Also, baggy top + little bottoms + long sockies

[@survivalsilk2101]

youre literally teaching me fashion rn, thank u queen

[@aleatoirefrancais]

I'm only 9 minutes in, but I loved seeing you step outside your comfort zone with the low waisted bottom and long top. And you killed it!! You look so good and slinky like a cat :D

[@StalxD]

To the Closet!

[@schickers21]

I love the idea of a video on how baggy doesn't equal to big/frumpy. I want to be able to wear fun things and not worry about how it flatters or doesn't flatter my figure.

[@ivania321]

crop top or tiny top, a line skirt or skort cargo skirt, sun hat i.e. cap or bucket hat, sneakers and hoop earrings :) my go to, for sure. (yes, i have become sporty spice the last 3 years) i am obsessed with Bloke and Bloquette style fashions lately

[@thezlington8186]

One of my favourites is long sleeved turtleneck top with any short sleeved/strappy dress over the top. My best one is a tight fit black and white striped ribbed turtleneck with a black velvet midi dress with capped sleeves, v-neck and glittery stars. Or a mesh black turtleneck with a black satin square neck mini dress with short puff sleeves. I wear a lot of black

[@debbiedrawsfunny]

The pattern mixing outfits get a big 'ol YES for me

[@alisonh.7407]

Very interested in seeing a future video about fit and baggy vs. quote unquote "frumpy"!

[@PRAYINGMANTIS.]

Also the vanessa stockhard's cat painting😭😭😭 super cute

[@Ace-1525]

very strict work dress code, so desperately seeking new ways to style the clothes i have in a way that i can still wear them to work and enjoy them. you've been a huge help the last couple weeks thank you!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

so glad to hear!!! thank you for watching :)

[@erinrabideau3691]

LOVE those pattern smashes!!

[@sarahfourtner5751]

Ever since I have started watching your video I have ventured out of my comfort zone so often. I always felt frumpy in baggy clothes and felt as though I had to wear clothes fitting my curves. Now my favorite outfit recipe is baggy + baggy. My favorite outfit is a baggy band t with a maxi skirt with a slit. Thank you for inspiring me to explore my personal style fellow Ohioan!!

[@csenns]

Thank you for this inspo!!

[@incrediblefelis]

I love this so much! 💛💛💛 What a fun way to play with clothing

[@HMSDisaster]

My coworker called mixing patterns “power clashing,” which always stuck with me. (I think she got the term from the tv show Girls, but I could be mis-remembering.)

[@CherriesJubilee]

I had so much fun with both these videos. I have sooooo much in my closet and find myself saying...I have nothing to wear, way too often. But now, when I feel that way, I just use a recipe. Sometimes it works like a charm, and sometimes not. But, I can always change my clothes so I am excited to try these new recipes! Can't wait for the clashing patterns video.

[@shorst7986]

I really liked your mixed pattern outfit, can't wait for more on that!!!!!!

[@HomemadeHalbert]

Love the masc + femme prompt!

[@janicestewart8291]

Love the last combo!!!

[@friendlykiwi384]

Love the frilly shirt and the camo pants! Never thought to do that!

[@niki_bbb]

Kathleen, I would loooove to hear your thoughts on the whole """"frumpy"""" thing!

[@cosyreadingtimes8857]

Really loved that video. Given the recent undecidedness the weather seems to have concerning what season it is, contrasting seasons can also be fun. Like shorts with a big sweater and nice warm socks and sneakers underneath or a short summer dress with a wooly pullover on top.😗😊

[@bastelkiste2242]

I loved the animal print blouse with the patterned skirt and the black belt ❤

[@stuntsbysteph8748]

I needed this. You've been inspiring me to try new things! ❤

[@tessarose8430]

so much fun! i've never thought of it as an outfit recipe, but combing masc and fem pieces is one of my favorites on the day to day!

[@Deafkid97]

We have such different styles (I find both to be fun!) but it’s so fun to watch your creative process!

[@alisonh.7407]

These videos have become a highlight of my week. You inspire me!

[@daphnegrace64]

Your videos are so comforting and inspiring at the same time and I love them!

[@stephanieg2000]

The pattern clashing was on point!

[@bri9irl1991]

I'm impressed with your pattern + pattern looks.

[@JuicyCrone]

I love the outfit recipe videos and I say keep them coming!

[@pompom8030]

Liked it from Leaf to Root ❤

[@silk2949]

You are too much fun! Thanks and keep being you.

[@gypsyjade7170]

The fem masc look was seriously stunning ❤

[@atuvera9021]

My recipe is wearing big shirt, fitted pants... But i'm trying some flared jeans againg after like a decade and i'm loving it ❤

[@emilymcarthur9602]

Those last two pattern clashing outfits 😍😍😍

[@setodd2098]

So many cool outfits!

[@kat_thefruitbat]

LOVE this collab! 👏 Two of my absolute favorite people in the sustainable fashion scene! 🤗❤️

[@bonniek356]

Yaaaay love a Maiazine collab! 🎉

[@PRAYINGMANTIS.]

YAY A NEW VID!!! I'll go thrifting soon and these recipes inspired me even more😭😭

[@enchantedviolinart]

The pattern clash outfits were a dream 💕💕

[@uneasycylinder]

Kathleen Illustrated you have literally changed my psyche with your videos I thank you for your banger fits and suggestions

[@FlippinLizzie]

LOVE your videos so much! Thank you for sharing your trips and tips, not to mention your quirky quips! ❤️🙏🏻

[@mizzbee7406]

I'm more of a monochromatic/analogous color scheme guy, so i LOVED the first pattern smash 💖

[@quixotichippie]

adorable, some great ideas 💕

[@vantain20]

My two favourite creators in one video? YES!!! ❤❤❤

[@veenorbury1429]

Woohoo, another great vid! Love that we're cooking with outfit recipes lol. I tend to go for small top (or tshirt) with big pants... it's just SO DANG HOT you need the air flow! now to go meditate on "baggy" and "frumpy" and their origins

[@beclouise8686]

Just discovered your channel! Loving the content. You're adorable. I rock pattern clashing alot and it's so much fun. Also I love blue and green together !

[@lisa_mello]

Love these outfit recipes! I've only revently found your channel and have binge watched a lot! I work from home so my outfit recipes have been joggers with a pretty top/blouse. Or since the weather here in wales is shocking, joggers with cropped patterned/texture jumpers 😅

[@friendlykiwi384]

Love the grey swirly top- it’s smokin on u!! 🎉

[@Soulrrr]

Your green linen co-ord set is absolutely gorgeous! And I love how you styled the pattern clashing outfits. I'm inspired to try my own pattern clashing outfits now, seems like having similar weight/drape are beginner-friendly steps. I also wanted to state my appreciation that you try different outfit combinations in your videos, some work but some need more work to work! I feel safe to try out my own combinations and that it is normal if I can't get something I like in the first try ♥️ I have been enjoying the fitted top + loose pants/skirts combination lately. I add a textured jacket and paatterned scarf on top. Obsessed with all the layers and textures 😊

[@kaytemnorwood]

I am frump. Frump me up. Frump is goals in this house.

[@maddyg4024]

I love watching your videos when I am doing my laundry, organizing my closet. Feels like im hanging out with a friend! Love your playful vibe and the encouragement for non-judgmental stance towards self. Thank you for inspiring💖

[@ivania321]

O M G MAIA !!! :D so happy to see you here on this channel. xoxoxoxox

[@pearlspear2922]

i would watch absolutely infinite huge amounts of outfit recipe videoooooooos

[@HomemadeHalbert]

Ok one more thought. The mixing of the matching sets at the end was fire. 🔥

[@airdnaxela420]

I love the threat of you rewiring my brain. More of this is good for me 😌

[@megdel]

every. single. outfit: FIIIIRE! kathleen teaching us all kinds of goodness!

[@parmasean_eater]

hyper masc+hyper femme is such an interesting conscept.. i have an idea for smth to put together to try and style it, exctied to try that!

[@Beatrizbulsara]

your videos always give me the courage to embrace my inner whimsical self and for that I thank you, my closet is full of color and fun clothes now 💙💚💜🧡

[@magellenic]

Hyper-masc plus hyper-femme was so funnn, I will be trying, probably already do that yo

[@mdavisscadedu]

I'm in love with your videos. It doesn't matter too much what you are talking about. It's your perspective that is so much fun. Hope you do more soon.

[@JennCampbell]

The majority of my clothes are black or black and white. But I love throwing in all the patterns at once: polka dots, checkerboard, stripes, florals, etc., all in one outfit. 😊

[@esotericexplorersmartinez493]

awesome thank you!

[@angelinanichols4282]

My favorite outfit recipe lately has been long skirt + little shirt + open button down. That or floaty femme dress + chunky shoes.

[@lovelydaywithholly]

My favs are when you mixed and matched the matching sets

[@MinasMagic]

I am so inspired by the hyper masc - hyper femme combo! In recent years I've been so focused on comfort that I find many of my outfits make me look like a teenaged boy...not a bad thing, just not the look I want. I can't believe I never thought of pairing a floaty/ruffly/pretty/etc top with my sporty shorts rather than my go-to t-shirts. Thank you for inspiring me out of my fashion rut!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

yay! so glad you're feeling INSPIRED. hope you loveeee your new outfits!
