I am here for this series!! Absolutely love all the thoughts while trying on every dress!

[@victoriaann6652]

you two should collab!! Two of my favs

[@baileyselig]

@@victoriaann6652 omggggg yes!!!

[@michaeladickson]

thank you!! 🥰💗

[@emmy8526]

This is that thing of “what do we talk about when we talk about clothes” and it’s our lives, past, present, real and imagined. Looking forward to the next instalment! (p.s. You could fix the too-long strap with just hand sewing.)

[@LauraStansfield-tw7xb]

Love the green dress. And it’s not that fancy looking. It could be casual. It’s beautiful. You look great in green

[@rauni431]

the white and blue pinstripe dress would be so nice if you could take it to a tailor ^^ (or do it yourself if you can sew)

[@eli19999]

I love that you are taking the time to really talk about every single item. I love talking about clothes😍

[@saraluckhardt3927]

Bright red and kelly green look so good on you! Good job on the dresses. I'm excited for the rest of the videos in this series!

[@michaeladickson]

Thank you so much!!

[@angelaa.9915]

As someone who has taken a couple of beginner sewing classes this year, I have to admit I felt a little sad when you put the pinstripe mini dress in the sell pile! Like I said, I am a true blue beginner, and I feel like making those 2 tweaks-bringing up/evening out the straps and evening out the length of the tie belt-would be pretty simple. Maybe consider a tailor or a friend who sews?

[@michaeladickson]

I’ve actually taken a lot of my clothes to a tailor over the years!! Especially pants to get the waist fit just right. I would alter it but even after fixing those things I don’t think I would wear it. Best to pass it on to someone who will! 😊

[@yagmurozses9538]

That green dress looks divine i think you could be in winter season (black looks great too)

[@lja530]

There were some great dresses but I think I like the red tank dress best. The color is just so good on you and I like that it leans more sexy than romantic (personal preference, you look good in girly dresses too, ofc!)

[@salemfawn]

okay also love the cartoon character outfit concept, green looks so good on you! i love green and it’s giving snow white poison apple on you (in the best way)

[@wildcherrygirl]

green is such a beautiful color on you!

[@tracyreed4017]

The tie on the pinstripe dress is meant to be tied at the top of where the ruffle meets the waist, so it looks like a wrap dress.

[@coldcomfort1932]

I love the red tank dress, soft white mango and green with cut outs on you! Have you ever thought about getting your colour season done? I’ve found it very helpful for me to know which colours suit me as I can be more focussed when thrifting. I also love the knee length dresses on you and those that have soft and more draping qualities to them. The dress with the funny shoulder situation probably just needs taking up at the shoulders so maybe it could be a candidate for being tailored? Love this one.x

[@annahenriksson3462]

You've quickly become a favorite of mine!!! We are like oddly similar in body type (I'm a little bit more mannish with weirdly large upper arms) and seeing how you dress yourself and look SO GOOD gives me a confidence boost every time. The green expenny dress was made for you

[@kendra555]

ugh i LOVE a good drawn out closet try on so pumped for this series🥰

[@mariawelling4194]

You look amazing in cool, bold colors..it compliments your skin and hair!😊❤

[@jillybeansx33]

if you're really over the length of the floral old navy dress you could move the bottom ruffle up to hit mid calf length and be more wearable for your current vibe!! you have some amazing pieces!

[@ellenhazelton8872]

Love your look in the deeper colours!

[@jadekraus2217]

Love how real you are

[@alexandraw.l]

the white dress looks stunning and so does the blue one im obsessed

[@faythewu]

The black and white gap dress is so cute on you! I think just pin the skirt in place so it doesn't open up so much. If you size up maybe the top part won't fit as well

[@samanthagomez4873]

I just started watching your videos and I’m loving the vibes !!

[@ttrashley]

ooooo wee nothing like a closet clean out on a sunday morning while i make breakfast 🤩

[@plwild3]

The black dress with light blue flowers from 8th grade could be made into a halter with just a black grosgrain or satin ribbon connected to the inside middle front with a small safety pin. Or it could be sewn. Then tie behind your neck. Just an idea. Super cute dress.

[@pegasus2516]

Love your style and these dresses! So cute!

[@victoriaann6652]

Obsessed with the purple floral Abercrombie! I would def buy

[@crtsekle]

Ugh I just bought the navy dress from your poshmark! Hahah too cute!

[@michaeladickson]

aw thank you!! 🥰 it’s a great dress, just not for me! 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@allydynn5318]

Omg the first green dress reminded me of the green dress that Keira Knightley wore in atonement

[@yap4808]

Yyeeeiiii love the talking through every piece😊 love to watch you☺️

[@joyous2theworld]

I used to have the bright pink chiffon old navy dress. Wore it forever. Now I’ve outgrown it.

[@Robug44]

The green dress really suits you.

[@AmaAidoo-ts8ws]

lol love you ! I eloped too . 10 years strong ❤ ! You motivated me to declutter ✊🏿

[@michaeladickson]

Aw love that! Eloping is so special 🥰

[@Robug44]

The long floral deep pink/red is nice. The checked green one sadly is too short. You have a wide variety of styles and colours. Are you a ‘classic winter’ colour palette? That helps to stay in a colour range that compliments your colouring. Also you could investigate which styles suit your shape. Just suggestions. 💐💐

[@camilacarmona]

The perfect type of video ❤ I could watch this for daaaaays

[@lambsauce1468]

My son buys me a dress from TJ Max every Christmas.

[@ja8160]

Yes it is bizarre. I feel like on vacation i get to wear what i may not wear everyday that I already own.

[@Coffee_with_Raisa]

You’ve got such a beautiful figure and I liked the shapes of most of these dresses on you🌹 However, I think that it’s the colors of these dresses on your gorgeous porcelain skin that divided these piece into “yes” or “no” for me. I do feel like black color dresses with a closed neck steal from your beauty, while vibrant colors make you glow. And I understand your love for white however it tends to wash you off a bit, so maybe you could try to wear a bright color accessory ( scarf, hair band, earrings) with them?

[@amikrenzel5788]

The fact that you only decluttered says that you know your style and love what you have.

[@lobsterkitty7]

justice for the pin stripe dress 😢

[@ingridmjellemfrorud145]

just the type of video i wanted to see on a sunday afternoon! i weirdly don't have many dresses so i bought two more yesterday from ASTR the label after seeing you style yours with that petticoat and frye boots! I didn't get that exact one, but they had a lot of cute dresses! that was such a good dress on you though, but you rented it from nuuly if I remember correctly?

[@michaeladickson]

Yes I did rent it on Nuuly! ASTR makes the cutest dresses 🤩

[@kookoo9800]

That short blue and white stripped dress u got from tjmaxx is so cute on you 😭😭 im so sad u decided to get rid of it, I’d try getting it tailored first but hopefully someone else gets more use out of it

[@judyzalesky8175]

You are so cute!💕🛍

[@alycenx]

As someone who regularly shops luxury ready to wear, amen on the row

[@michaeladickson]

like… what is happenin at the row?? 🫣😂

[@alycenx]

@@michaeladickson actual nonsense

[@kayclarity4401]

that green sexy dress is s yummy i wish i find similar one next time i go thrifting

[@TwoOnlyChildrenxoxox]

Not me finding this video while looking for something to watch while trying on everything in my closet. Random.

[@marylhere]

I’ve found the first draft OLD NAVY hold up really well. Stay away from those $4 sweater promotion and their T shirts are crap.

[@zaizeleiful]

what is the casting agency? what's the material of the everlane tank dress?

[@seedylee]

some clothing items at tj maxx/other retailers make it there because they're made poorly ie: factory rejects - could explain the off-ness of the bow/tie

[@sambradley3179]

Please don’t get rid of the striped dress!! It’s so cute

[@melodyphillips7838]

Please keep the purplish/ pink floral midi dress. It looks so good on you!!!

[@michaeladickson]

hahaha woopsie! Already sold! 😅

[@rawa7arb]

If the fit is odd take it to a tailor. I always see ppl throwing things instead of fixing it

[@michaeladickson]

I take a lot of my clothes to a tailor! But even with tailoring, I wouldn’t wear them. So it’s best to get them out of my closet.

[@salemfawn]

wait slay your husband is aapi?? i’m half korean love to see it 💅

[@michaeladickson]

Yes! He’s Vietnamese 😊

[@kellyjune]

Okay, you look stunning in every dress!I’m with you on the knees thing… I’m same and don’t like them exposed 🤷🏼‍♀️ P.s. Can you please share the brand of the TJ Maxx dress you have in green and black? TY ❤

[@michaeladickson]

It’s by the brand Nicholas! bought it a few years ago so idk if they still sell it

[@downrighthorizontal9931]

genuinely curious, how are we talking about fashion sustainability & seems like you lived in hawaii to be an actor for awhile? i feel like native hawaiians are like begging people not to visit & move there because of the limited resources, so that sort of surprised me - unless you are like from hawaii

[@michaeladickson]

you know about 1% of the story lol my husband was active duty Air Force and we were stationed there. I didn’t move there to become an actor lmao just something fun I did while I lived there

[@ivaneteroark710]

Michaela, for your periods, get all your beauty products and cleaning supplies cruelty free( your skin absorbs the nasties), diet clean, coffee always organic because of pesticides, I have a serious hormonal problem, I wish I could help every chick, xo
