I Tried Styling My Mom's Old Clothes Into My Personal Style

[@Mintshake_bunny]

Omg, a dad version would be cool too!! I loved this, such a fun concept!! The brown cardigan look was super cute and the scarf one was the most fun! Also loved the dress looks~

[@soy688]

if anything, this has encouraged me to go raid my mother’s wardrobe

[@mamajo1515]

My mom gave all her clothes away a few years ago and it makes me so sad bc she had so many amazing pieces that I have such fond memories of her wearing back when I was little and would have loved to wear myself one day 😭 just gonna have to keep living vicariously thru you and other content creators who raid their parents’ closets and come up with such cool modernized outfits. Seriously this is so so cool to me

[@ItsJennB]

A dad outfit video would be so fun! One of your outfits featuring a dad-ish necktie inspired a whole styling video of my own lol

[@sabrinathomas4072]

Liz, stumbling across your and Kathleen’s YTs has whole heartedly made me change the way I think of style, accessorizing, and the acts of thrifting/reusing my wardrobe. Thank you!!! Getting dressed has never felt so whimsical and fun before 😻

[@securityvau1t]

My mom's closet is a genuine 80s/90s treasure trove, so I'm glad that you went along with that video idea. I have a lot of fun styling her lesser-worn pieces (my dad's included!). Also: I didn't even realize outfit #4 was giving leprechaun energy until you'd said so, so don't sweat it haha -- it's the bolder combinations especially that make your videos fun to watch/take inspo from!

[@strawbemmy]

i have so many of my grandmother's old brooches and haven't known how i should style them but i LOVE the way you used it as a lil clasp on the cardigan! it feels obvious yet i never would've thought of it! totally stealing that!!

[@halley8105]

That green blazer outfit and the first outfit are definitely my favourites

[@kimberleymoses-mx1vp]

That last purple dress outfit looked so amazing the way you styled it! With the background you filmed infront of... it looked so elegant and dramatic, like you were about to have your portrait painted!!

[@TheNewYear75]

truly inspired by that scarf hack, brb gonna try it myself

[@carrieamoreno]

This is such a cool idea, and a great way to bond with your mom ❤

[@riverAmazonNZ]

I’m so glad my mum keeps all her fave pieces, she’s got some awesome vintage and handmade (and hand painted!) items. She still wears them, in her sixties!

[@colettemitchell3412]

I love how your mom sewed such a creative quirky dress. All of them were styled very well. I don't like the green sweater blazer either. You did a good job making it look better.

[@emmanuelleschultze6095]

I love all the pieces and outfits. I love the idea of the brooch with the cardigan. Also, I have an idea with the beautiful green blazer, to add an all-black or neutral palette to make the green stand out and then pair it with funky accessories that are earth colours.

[@cinemaocd1752]

My fave was the green knit blazer. Very 1970s, but it was in great condition and such a cute color. I loved the outfit you made with it too. I thought it looked so cute. You could wear it to work or in a more formal situation...

[@supernova622]

I also really liked that outfit, because while I don't like hate that style of knit blazer but usually I find it kind of whatever. The outfit really elevated it. I'd love to see a whole video of fun, funky work appropriate looks

[@diane_almond]

The purple dress one was SO GOOD. also the headband was a freaking moment

[@karengrohs4942]

Wow. I am impressed. Those last two dresses your mom made look fabulous with your skirt additions. I never would have thought of it, and it makes a huge difference.

[@demonicastar]

It's really hard not being pulled in by moms cool vintage beauties. My mom had a beautiful a line midi skirt from the 70's, grey with rainbow stripes that follow the shape of the skirt , it looks to be handmade and she was kind enough to pass It on to me and I'm totally enamored 😄

[@lisa_wistfulone7957]

I’m an 80s kid (literally your mom’s generation!), and it was so fun to see these pieces styled in such playful, casual ways! Girls usually glammed up the formal looks, treasuring any expensive brand items and featuring those pieces. Your styling videos always help me to reconceptualize my thrift finds and old items in new, fun ways, and I especially enjoyed this one! (I never did know how to style like “the cool kids!”) 😅 Thank you!!🌻✨ (Also, your mom is super cool! Those dresses she sewed look like super-shiek very-expensive Vogue fashion from the era!! My compliments to her skill and cleverness!)

[@kendra555]

omg i have a brown cardigan that gives that exact same vibe when you added the brooch and i’ve had no idea how to style it, will be copying your look immediately 🙏🏾

[@kendra555]

also give queen comet a kiss 4 me❤❤❤❤

[@tajashania]

Your mum lowkey has some lovely pieces 🤩 outfit 5 is my fave, so pretty

[@cyndybeller1306]

The last 2 looks were inspirational to me. I’ve come across (and left behind) dresses that appealed to me but I had no idea how to bring them fashion forward. Loving the ideas!

[@cacommencebien]

Outfit no2 is giving Studio Ghibli heroine, I LOVE IT

[@alex9190]

i have my moms chain belt from the 80's and every time i wear it i get tons of compliments. its my favorite accessory. its silver and instead of all the links being the same shape they go square, triangle, circle. its so fun

[@aliciabeem9236]

This is such a fun idea! my mom doesn’t really have many of her old clothes, but I did get to wear her wedding dress from the 90s and it was so perfect 🤍 I will definitely keep some clothes for my future kids haha

[@professionalamateur741]

I love this video!! Would definitely watch an edition where you style your dad’s clothes, your grandparent’s clothes, anything like that! Old clothes can be so fun to style. I liked all of these outfits, but I liked the dresses and the blazer look the best. The color scheme of the blazer look was phenomenal, and I love how fun and unique the outfits you made out of the dresses were. Tell your mom she’s an icon and her dresses are beautiful.

[@sulwhasoo3550]

your personal style differs from mine completely but i can really appreciate your thought process behind putting together outfits, it's really inspiring! subscribing for your kind and vibrant energy

[@MelliaBoomBot]

Omg, more family members’ clothes ought to included! 😊 brilliant 🥰

[@AK-cv9uw]

Omg...the scarf and skirt ARE PERFECT!!! All the looks slay as always though!! 💕

[@charoraimondogarcia]

Okey, I absolutly love the brown dress your mom made. And lovelovelove the 3 outfits you made with the dresses (I loove 80s)

[@alex9190]

my mom and i are very differently shaped so we can only share over shirts and accessories but its fun. i wish i could wear some of her clothes from the 90's bc she had such a fun whimsigothic/grunge aesthetic

[@catis4]

I just did the same a few months ago to my mother's closet and got my grandma's pink cardigan, a y2k see through wrap around blouse, both not worn anymore, and a lilac turtleneck sweater that I share with my mother. It's great to have clothing for free!

[@Soulrrr]

I love the fits of 5-7. I might try the scarf trick on myself! it's such a brilliant way to get more use and versatility out of an item. I am amazed at how layering a skirt under or above fits 6 and 7 totally transformed the outfit from outdated to contemporary. Super cool, I might want to experiment too if the weather allows 👌

[@YouareSOjelly]

The scaaaarf vest dress aaaaaaa ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@lexisuarez7484]

your makeup and hair in the talking parts slays!! also really enjoyed this video and concept!

[@michealla]

This is such a cute idea! 🥰 Unfortunately my mom got rid of her stuff from the 90s like a decade ago, and she’s kicking herself for it now because I wear a lot of the same kind of stuff she used to haha. I adore how you styled piece #3, so so cute 💛 would love to see a dad version of this video :)

[@shorst7986]

I really loved that scarf/skirt dress outfit that you created!

[@YouareSOjelly]

How you styled the handmade dresses was *chefs kiss* I have a two layer cinched skirt that needs my attention rn. brb going to my closet! 😂

[@vickisigh2674]

i love how you styled piece 3! it really does look so cool and relaxed, but polished and thoughtful at the same time. it’s also so easy to recreate through thrifting!

[@haleyisfabulous]

I love this video conept! And it was so fun to have your mom choose the pieces she wanted you to style. I think it would be really fun, if you were to do it again, to have some sort of reaction piece from whichever parent has lent you their clothes!

[@luci.fer.003]

0:58 have I gone colorblind or are those shorts actually brown? Like I don't see the green at all. Still love the outfit but I'm confused 😅

[@MiscellaneousMatilda]

Love, love, LOVE this video! I think my favourite outfit is the one with the scarf as a dress/cardigan, but it's hard to choose!

[@GinnyEvergreen]

LOVE the last outfit!!😍

[@Nyersawr]

I love your energy and how funky and playful your fits are. your vibe and style is just so refreshing 😊

[@alexmcginness8859]

We have the same loafers! Love that for us! 💁🏽‍♀️

[@MaraAnnelisa]

Your mum has so many cool pieces! I love the dresses she made herself, and though it may not have been your style, you rocked the 80's look 🤩 Maybe making outfits only using your parents' clothes could be fun too ✨️

[@kendra555]

scarf as a vest fit is giving quirky aunt that’s always traveling and makes her own jewelry

[@Ghost-angy]

A dad version would be really cool, maybe you could try to style one or two androgynous outfits with those clothes if you are comfortable with that. I’ve raided my moms closet a while ago and found some really cool corduroy jackets, though sadly the sleeves were to short on me, maybe I should look again

[@iheartherbology]

that purple dress is amazing, your mom is iconic for that!

[@lexiconsentino]

oh i loooove this video!! one of my fav things about thrifting 80s and 90s pieces is texting my mom after to ask how she used to style stuff like that ❤️

[@chxrka]

wake up babe my favorite fashion youtuber just posted!!

[@TheNikkePikker]

I love the brooche cardigan fastening, im gonna try that myself! ❤ Outfit #4 gives me hip marketing agency vibes.. and i work at a hip marketing agency 😂 and wow, you made your moms dresses work!!! Those are really cool fits

[@dizzyonearth]

this is so cool! love how the skirt layering changed those last two looks! i think it would be neat to see you recreate follower’s outfits at some point too!

[@bugzilly]

the success/ease of this shows how solidly the 80s are back, baby

[@TINA-ke1cp]

You slayed those dress and skirt combinations. I already love 80s mom wear but you definitely elevated it and LOOKED AMAZING 👏 💖 👏 Ps- I would love to see the 80s dad style version of this video.

[@Xenathewarrior83]

You did amazingly well!! Love your intuitive approach to styling))

[@catherinecarterartstudio]

Hi, Liz - Loved the scarf as dress outfit best. Also, I actually liked the green blazer outfit. On an earlier video, you tucked those blue/black flowered pants into a pair of black boots - I think that would have made this outfit a little funkier. Great concept ... would love to see more like this!

[@pritsguy]

the leprechaun outfit... slay 😸🍀

[@ossaobscura]

Absolutely loved the scarf and skirt outfit. Now I will be combing the thrifts for a big scarf. Ad my vote to doing a Dad version of this!

[@sandpiper_]

i have one of my mom's skirts on right now (that i've stolen, it's basically mine now), and i was wearing it last friday and decided i should crochet a top to go with it and i just so happened to have yarn that matched with it really well. i finished the top a few hours ago and am wearing it. this is the first crochet project i've actually finished which is exciting. my mom also made this funky green mini (?) skirt back in probably 1990 or so, and it happens to fit me pretty well so i've worn that and !! i think it would look good with this very same bright (but simultaneously dark) purpleish magenta crochet top. moral of the story: steal your mom's skirts.

[@solegr8]

Thank you so much for sharing this video. I'm completely hooked!

[@angelinanichols4282]

Such a great challenge! I love the outfits you came up with. I'm forever sad that my mom didn't hang onto any of her 80s and 90s wardrobe.

[@JoyChun0508]

#4 is my favorite 😍

[@RioRav]

I neeeed those floral pants oooooo they are so cute

[@RioRav]

@@beepwrld 💯

[@kelleyburke]

This is such a fun idea!! I wish I could do something like this, because I have a very similar style to what my mom wore at my age. I LOVED some of her old clothes. But she's gotten rid of most of them already. Still, this inspires me to go raid her closet for pieces she may have missed, lol

[@arurora5474]

I love to imagine that the 4th outfit is like if you were ever forced to take a corporate job with a dress code that would be the type of outfits you would style in retaliation lol a glimpse into a paralel univere

[@Sweetinfernalcreature]

My mother and I are vastly different sizes and heights but I used to steal my mom’s clothes when I was in high school all the time. She had the most amazing late 80s oversized striped top with a drop shoulder. It was horizontal stripes on the body part then the sleeves were vertical stripes. So cool! Wish I still had it. I think she took it back then donated it :/

[@RhymingMime]

Ur mom has fab pieces omg!

[@terranmilne2472]

I feel like the Blue and green outfit would be pulled together with a red/orange neck scarf or ribbon !

[@silkandsticks]

Ah this is so sweet! ❤ i remember "borrowing" a pair of leather brogues from my mum's wardrobe and wore them to (literal) death! ❤❤

[@jacquelinebrown5630]

Wonderful job

[@wlammy4ever]

Such a fun video concept!❤

[@kimm4831]

I need a tutorial of how you tied the scarf to make it into a vest 😟

[@carolined82]

Yes, please do this with some of your dad's clothes! 😊

[@ryanprice1232]

I would loooooove to see a dad version!!

[@Wanderlustwaltz]

Great video! 👏👏👏

[@twinkie_doodle]

yes dad version please! Loved this video

[@samantharose1001]

#7 is a little grecco-roman or something ✨ I LOVED the first outfit

[@samiansley5740]

For the cloth blazer, I wonder if you’d criss-crossed it and tucked it into the pants (treating it like a shirt), how you’d have felt? I didn’t think it read leprechaun tho that’s a *classic look 😉

[@laraharding849]

Do another one!

[@barbaracrouch7419]

Where is the belt (that you wore with the brown dress outfit) from? 😍

[@kimahee]

Yes please do one with dads clothes!

[@InfinityOnRhi]

Many of my clothes actually did belong to my mom in the 90s, one of my favorite dresses was hers. She also had a cool snake tank top with cool slits in it that I would love to have and think looked really cool but I'm pretty sure my chest is too big for me to steal it and she might've got rid of it🙃

[@lenaholztrattner8603]

i currently raided my mom's closet too.... never had so many stylish pieces

[@sarahthomsen5619]

Dads clothes yes!!!

[@goofygoober4026]

DAD VERSION!!!

[@decayedspaceman4929]

Actually I think the second outfit is not giving european at all, but rather Korean seaside ajumma harvesting clams and the such

[@Mimulus2717]

I bet you would be surprised by the number of women your mom's age who still want to dress cool and inspired and would watch your videos if you included tips for the more mature person. Just as you show all body types ( yeah!) In your inspo pictures, so too some older fashionistas would be appreciated. We don't want to be serving golden girl vibes, rather sophisticated yet thrifted fashion week style. Hugs from Seattle!

[@ellisonjames2624]

How about just make a drape sash thing separately Then you can wear it with lots of choices.

[@dkalisd]

My mum has newer clothes than mine. She has wardrobe clear out twice a year lollllllll

[@professionalamateur741]

Btw for outfit 4, “leprechaun” didn’t even enter my mind until you said it. soooo just goes to show most people won’t see anything wrong or weird about your outfit until you bring it up. But also leprechauncore is a slay, I’m totally on board. Now I want to dress up like mythical creatures from a bunch of different cultures (in a respectful way of course).

[@salo81]

I think I have the same blazer as your mom but mine is black. I wear iit for choir and playing recorder in church. The churches are often quite cold and it lookes elevated but is warm, cozy and soft to move around in. The last dress reminded me a bit of babywearing 😁I am so sorry, no offense.

[@HazelShade]

Mom reveal when?!

[@biakosta]

You cute amazing leprechaun 🎉

[@juliekantorova9748]

❤

[@SimonandGarfunkel57]

how did you mum like it?

[@alex9190]

i always think of ashley aka bestdressed when i hear the word juxtaposition

[@kaykerns2287]

Do dad

[@SA1911Operator]

Girl I'm sorry but that purple dress is so Jesus of Nazareth. That purple is super overpowering and the sash element is cool but the way it's constructed gives off church production vibes. Everything else is good but I would take a second crack at that dress.

[@neenland]

omg this is such a cute idea???? i wish my mom kept her old clothes!! also congrats on the sponsor!🩷🫶🏻
