[@roseberry9466]

I look at many fashion videos on youtube I relate to yours more than anyone else, I am an 80 old female I can wear every outfit or idea you promote. I like your site very much your style is timeless.

[@blueshoes915]

Love the “wrap top” idea. Never seen this before, looks amazing! Thank you!

[@lydiazipp5667]

Beautiful outfits! I love how the grey ensemble turned out when you added that great bag. Perfect!

[@ericadominguez87]

Love the black/white pairing. I think it is timeless and so very chic. This is my go-to pallet when in a rush. Thank you so much for your wonderful content. Always learn new ways to work with my closet pieces.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Right? I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you for watching!

[@cynthialeeser7952]

This was very inspiring. “Little tweaks that makes a tired look have more style and finishes a look.” Exactly what we need. The proportions you explained was also very helpful. Your sensibilities are similar to mine. Classic and stylish, modest and still pretty. This was a wonderful video. This all makes a difference and helps. Thank you. The all black look with belted dress and Tall boots looked great on you, and was my favorite look on you.❤️

[@SarahCunningham71]

I love how you talked through the accessories choice for the gray slacks/sweater outfit. The idea of balancing the weight of the pieces in the outfit was, to me, a new way of thinking about them. Thanks!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

oh i'm so glad! Thanks for watching Sarah!

[@swatigautam1686]

How is that bag's metal chain in that grey outfit not uncomfortable?! It was so close to your neck, would have loved it if the strap was a bit longer!

[@rosaliebarton9724]

I was wondering the same thing. I love crossover bags but was wondering what that one would look like just over your shoulder. Maybe it makes more sense in person.

[@76482]

She styled shoulder bag as a crossbody bag but it clearly wasn't manufactured to be worn that way. Imagine trying to access any contents without having to take it off, then put it back on, over, over, and over again the entire day.

[@kimberleygordey9568]

Thank you so much! I love your approach to styling and this offered so many great tips. As someone who has been a pretty plain dresser, you inspire me to try a few ideas… maybe even before consigning something I think I’m not wearing. Your best tip I use all the time is the shirt sleeve fold where you make a big long fold and then fold over that in half… love that little hack!

[@kathypr1987]

Loved the lessons on proportions, especially seeing the difference of something as simple as pushing up your sleeves. Thank you for explaining it so well, Alyssa!

[@Anna-Anna53]

Chow Alyssa the minute you post i get so excited about it 👏and it never fails. Always a fresh look a well planed context. Fashion through your posts has taught me so much.

[@firefly1711]

I'm soooo in love with this channel since two days where a video from you was recommend to me. And now I bingewatch all your videos. I love your way to style clothes and outfits in different ways. Thas so good. Can't wait to go back home after traveling and shop in my closet. Thanks for your channel !

[@msan4278]

You are amazing! I love the simplicity of these ideas. Very chic and beautiful!! Thank you!

[@carolineyates9039]

Hi. I learned lots as always Thank you. I save all these videos to look back on for outfit ideas. I have got so many ideas from you over the last few years.

[@ms_prescott_regrets]

The wrap of the shirt is excellent 👍 the tips really prove that less is more. Since I am on the short side, playing with accessories and color work well for me. Please do more of this type of video. Sometimes I forget such easy tips ❤️

[@bobbiecalgaro5888]

Thanks Alyssa for this great video. I just want to say that at my age (68), I am constantly being told to add bigger and bolder accessories. And even at 5’7” (tall in my younger years, not so much now), I have never liked a bunch of jewelry etc. I believe less is more and finally have found some bloggers who feel the same. You included! You have shown that you don’t have to look like a walking jewelry store and quite frankly that’s exactly what I think makes old women look old. Too much stuff! I love, love, love your esthetic although I live a much more colorful life. But am learning to combine those colors with neutrals to make everything more chic and elegant. Once again kudos and thanks!

[@LNatureblush]

I am a little late to the game, but I am so glad I found your channel. I love how you put outfits together so effortlessly and how we can wear it in real-life.

[@kimjohnson8471]

Love that Canadian accent (yes.....you say OWT-fit). 😃 😊. This is coming from a Native Texan with a proud Twang!

[@citizenjoevotes]

I’ve relaxed my aversion to black and white in the last couple of years. I waited tables throughout college and wore black and white as a uniform. I love your content so, so much!

[@76482]

Decades later and I still can't wear black and red together, my HS colors 😅

[@Nicky-zp8ls]

Hi Alyssa, I’ve been following your slow fashion vidéos for a couple of months and every fall season, I’m buying new stuffs I think I need to update my style and looks… I Want to share with you that this week-end, I shopped my closet and was amasingly surprised of the many great looks I came out with… A lot of your tips and ideas came back to me as I tried new options!! Thank you so much for your vidéos and one Time I particularly appreciate is your vidéos on adapting new trends without shopping. Keep inspiring us!

[@odessasudeku9985]

I just love love your fringe skirt. Such an unique piece!

[@whiskersBOOSTER2]

Such a great video!! Would love more videos on seeing how different shoes, etc. changes the look of the outfit, I always love your explanations because sometimes we don’t always realize why we like some thing or why we don’t. Have a great weekend!!

[@Nmucciolo]

Love watching and learning what you do with basics/essentials/my favs.

[@vivianepersimmon]

😍 all-black outfits are my jam! You look so sleek in that belted dress with boots. I would love to recreate that.

[@fredericavlogs]

I just want to tell you that I love all of your videos! Even if I've been away from your channel for awhile there's always something good & new on your channel in my eyes! 😊

[@lisbetsoda4874]

Love how you tweak your outfits. Teaches me so much!

[@cindymichelotti1719]

all of your videos have been inspiring and motivational and educational! Keep going!! I'll keep following! Love the Italian vibes- married to one and moving to Italy!

[@joywhitley3141]

Alyssa, all these tips were great! I just bought a new white shirt and your timing is perfect. It’s funny how such small tweaks can make a vast difference in style and proportion. You are a master! ❤️

[@monicah.m.9933]

Me ha encantado la idea de cruzar la camisa, voy a probarlo 😉 Gracias por tan buenos consejos 😘

[@allannagreen3034]

You are simply genius. You major on the minors and help us see so much in what would normally be easily overlooked. I WILL get to attend one of your virtual styling classes before I leave this earth. Take good care!

[@Sacha259]

Great video, thank you Alyssa! Love the refurbished little black dress outfit.

[@tanyaseaman67]

I enjoyed this and appreciate your desire to shop your closet -- and love the timelessness of everything. I was a little surprised not to see any scarves, especially for fall looks. As a knitter (and designer of said knits), I always seem to wear them when it's the slightest bit cold, and they are my primary ways of adding color, even inside. Either that, or a hand-knit sweater, usually structured to fit like a jacket.

[@marylaidig5755]

What a nice surprise when you add a second video to a week! This was so interesting.

[@Roxanambaresearch]

Alyssa, I have a black blazer dress, as well! Mine did come with a matching belt but I switch it by another equally black belt of a different texture such as leather, patent leather, etc. However, now I know I will style it with the over-the-knee boot! Thank you!

[@iahorvath]

Very interesting video! I learned a lot - things I never considered - a different way of looking at the clothes that I have. Thank you!

[@juliecrockford1046]

thankyu for your video. delighted to see the final skirt. i bought one like that, and wondered what would go with it. thank you

[@lfkilcran]

The gray outfit...the texture play is so beautiful. Loved all the looks!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you for watching Lisa!

[@keeptheshoes6198]

A great video on a day I wasn’t expecting it- what a nice surprise!

[@keeptheshoes6198]

… I especially like your tip to hold back on the belt if the purse has details. I am guilty of not looking at my outfit with my purse before heading out of the house, so I am sure I have overdone it many times!

[@freefallingintograce4634]

Beautiful! Thanks Alyssa! I'm with you on appreciating a structured shirt that has weight to the fabric and great tailoring. I feel that quality fabrics speak for themselves. There's just a certain presence to them. Loved all the outfits, but the red shirt and floofy skirt combination is still my favourite. And I also really loved your all grey outfit. I love grey in the fall or spring and am also a proud owner of silver oxfords! 😎👍 Big hugs, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! 😊🍂🌺🍁

[@brendahull4910]

Love your informative and practical videos!

[@saramaloney6082]

Watched this twice! I learned things I am struggling with. Proportion is my nemesis😂. I really appreciated the chunky sweater with loose pants and then you left out the belt. I often struggle with the belt and you are right , in that case it was too heavy and chunky. Thank you!! This will help next time I am trying several belts and none are working ❤️

[@margaretlewis2289]

Love newness of making a white shirt a wrap top. So flattering and unexpected.

[@janicevin4207]

I did learn something or actually saw something new to me. I am a belt person, wearing belts with pants, jeans, skirts, dresses... but you show me with your grey outfit that sometimes the belt is not only not necessary but too much!!!! From now on I will definitely double check my outfits with that angle in mind....

[@jasminegreen7974]

What a great video! These tips were actually new, practical, thoughtful and helpful. And your demonstrations really helped me understand your points. Well done!

[@ellasinger8477]

Alyssa, you are amazing!

[@barbaragolden3620]

Hi! You inspired me to get some silver oxfords (second hand!). I love your style Alyssa. Thank you for everything you do!❤️

[@onecatsopinion]

Thank you, Alyssa. I've been looking for a classic white shirt and this one is lovely. :)

[@DestinyFerreira29]

always a class act!! i love that big belt buckle, i am trying to up my belt game....

[@carolinao9918]

Wrap top is great idea! Thank you!

[@kimboleighh]

Thank you for the demonstrations! ❤

[@Cristina.Antoniuc]

Keep going girl. It was aesthetically pleasing to watch. We absolutely need more content from you ❤😍

[@conniepleasant1081]

This was super helpful for me as I am that basic dresser and I love fun shoes and fun shapes, I feel like I’m really on the right track with rebuilding my wardrobe. 😬

[@frimmingfamily]

Another great video Alyssa! Bueno!

[@RB-os7qw]

Some really great tips, thanks. And so handy having them all in one video. After doing some of these styling tricks, I tend to find that I look like I'm in a costume - that it's too styled. :(

[@rajingbutterfli]

I so love that buttondown!

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

Great tips! Love, love the gray outfit. Wonder if POMP will do petite sizing. At 5’1” am afraid the shirt would overwhelm me but do love a high-quality white shirt. Nice fabric seems to be difficult to locate. 😏

[@TheStinaLina]

Love your channel - so pleased I found it.

[@kathleenlabelle]

This was so good that I watched it twice!

[@nafsikavogopoulou8781]

I loved your video because of its originality and frankness, many greetings from Greece!

[@michelleb1152]

Just found Alyssa. I am booked. Great advice!!

[@jeanettekays1954]

Love Love your content and enthusiasm for using what you have to look interesting and put together. This senior citizen finds you most inspiring. Any hints on hiding a less then perfect belly would be appreciated. Thank you.

[@nyssamo9302]

Loved this video so much!!!

[@hanonfalu]

I've learned so much from you. Thank you!🙏🥺♥️

[@lulurosario1884]

Love it 😀 Awesome

[@heatherframpton9693]

Thanks, Alyssa, for this very useful video content. Enjoy Autumn 2021! 🍂🍁❤️😊

[@joannemcgrath3436]

I'm fairly new to your videos I love them as you keep them simple yet bold with your presentation . Great tips thank you 🌈

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

thank you so much Joanne!

[@foreverglow5685]

Hi Alyssa. I ordered the belt you have on and it arrived this week. I needed a tan belt and I love the wide style.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

ahhhh i hope you love it!!

[@almaalma3871]

Love it 🥰

[@kinshasav]

Loved the last outfit! Sharp.

[@Ivymoon]

Today, I'll follow those Tricas to style my common white shirt. But this that I'm talking about has details like fabric to the sleeves and neck, that, if I rolled it Up a little to show those colors to give a pump of colors of my white button down shirt And it looks diferentes with the blue/green, and little orange small polka dot details provide an extra to my average white button do un shirt. With my Stark blue jeans and the awesome details you mentioned to us, of how to provide a sharp look just to see a friend, I haven't seen, since 15 years ago. You're awesome Alyssa 👏 thumps up yeah😽😎

[@samiansley5740]

A bonus video! Hurray!

[@heatherp7836]

Im always hoping youll show us how you do your little styling tweaks. Like how you roll your shirt sleeves, how youve made the belts that are too big for you still work. How the heck you tuck in all that fabric and not look like youre 10# heavier in the midsection. Oh! And how you tie your headscarves!! 🥰❤

[@karelmillard9854]

Really liked this video! 🙏✨

[@ella8874]

Great tips!! Such cool outfits 😀👍

[@anonymouse5910]

Didn't know many of us have some trouble with black and white! It's my go to!

[@KS-df1cp]

Hey Alyssa, I always love watching your content. This one is great too! Sometimes we cannot go overboard at the workplace and this one addresses the issue really well. I was wondering if you could do one video on inner wear? I will surely check the channel if you have already done one. Thanks.

[@charlotteeshun1393]

And i love 💘the minimalism yet chic vibes altogether. Hi there 😊.

[@yogamama1879]

I liked this video a lot. Really want to learn how to be crrative with basics and neutrals.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you Nala! I hope you found it helpful!

[@sandrapereira-pn2cn]

O like a lot of this tips to wear and being elegant with some details ...

[@luisaheras1318]

Hola Alysa, soy fiel seguidora tuya y me encanta tu estilo. Es diverso, elegante, clásico, atrevido, haces bonitas, cómodas y divertidos outfits. Me encanta 😘

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

wow Luisa! ¡Muchas gracias por las palabras amables!

[@michelleclark8099]

Thank you. ❤️

[@cltinturkey]

You have such a great eye for detail, a la Italiana! One story may amuse you. One night while living in Rome, we ate outside a lovely trattoria. Near us was an Italian wearing a slim-fitting white shirt with just three buttons closed. She told many chest heaving stories with grand gestures and the waiters (and all men) hovered nearby all night. Buttons held up!

[@tanakribbs3583]

I found you a a month or do ago and have enjoyed your videos more than any. You make so much sense to me. I have so many clothes and always nothing to wear in my eyes. I have opened my eyes to do many different things in my wardrobe now. I do not need anything and I get excited about getting a new idea. In 2020, I got rid of a lot but bought more, more basics. I am very qwerky And love different. My biggest problem with my looks are I am 5 foot 10 and 57 years old. I do not like to wear much of a heal because they make me even taller and I do not feel comfortable with myself being so tall so I am having. Hard time with the right shoe. Thanks so much for your inspiration

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

I'm so glad you find it helpful Tana! xx

[@Ceaaa22]

I've done a monochrome with either dark blue denims, a navy V-neck sweater or black slacks with a black sweater layered over a cream turtleneck to good effect :)

[@wrendor9465]

It's always a teaching moment with you 👍🏿

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

thank you! xx

[@hayleyt7197]

Good styling tips 👍 I like it

[@emeraldwaters8028]

Nuanced stuff. I’m thinking about some over-the-knee boots and a wrapped white shirt. Also, You look fantastic and I may need a strapless bodysuit!!! Thanks, Alissa. Have a good week-whenever you read this.

[@marymiller2652]

Love your channel!! What brand is the drive crew back sweater in the stll shot for this post? Love it and am struggling to find a premium wool vendor with anything like it ! Thanks! 😍

[@makeitvanilla6313]

Such a great video! Simplicity allows you to wear the clothes, and not have the clothes and accessories wear you. I have always admired your white shirt in your videos, and the ways you style it - it's absolutely perfect on you. I have been waiting a long time to invest in a white shirt - so I was so glad you linked it. I have one on order!

[@76482]

Thanks for the Kibbe Body Type tip! I googled and took the test, now know why people are always surprised to learn that I'm only 5'3" tall. Even 6ft tall folks standing directly next to me don't usually realize I'm a short person. Apparently it's because I don't have small shoulders, big head, or a short waist 😊

[@Stephanie-lg1cm]

White shirt and blue jeans…….so classic and I love a monotone look, elevated with some pretty jewellery or a colourful bag.

[@alphiaaugustin9162]

Succinctly done. Bravo

[@priscillahaynes8615]

Alyssa, love your content! Can you tell me what is the brand of your wide legged jeans. I love them.

[@ShoppingwithRina]

Great idea thank y for sharing

[@lynnetrue4103]

I was just worrying the indigo dye of the jeans was Going to get on your beautiful white shirt😞 hope not Wonderful information!

[@marciamachado6557]

I really liked that vídeo!👋🏻👋🏻

[@annewatkis5824]

Love your videos. Even a half tuck in my apple shape looks terrible for me. Xxx

[@jeng1395]

Omg, do it yourself wrap top! How cool is that?

[@user-tz5mj8gz2m]

I am in the South of the UK. Im struggling to find the right level of layering and chic wothout carrying a masdive bag. So jeans are just too warm for 22 but then its raining ....help. you are a hugh inspiration and since I have been following your tips I receive a lot of compliments!

[@estellamunoz3125]

Awesome!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you so much for watching everyone! A few questions I've been getting: I am wearing a size Medium in Tailor Shirt - Proper fit. I normally wear a small/medium depending on how I like things to fit and this has a more oversized fit. I also own a small in a Power of My People Proper fit and it is just a smidge tighter but still has an oversized look and plenty of room for the bust. The Tailor is offered from a 2XS to a 3XL and don't forget to use ALYSSABELTEMPO for your discount! It is currently for their evergreen styles only* And if you have any questions about fit - get in touch with Power of My People, they are so responsible and amazing! xx
