I am guilty of buying tee shirts for my three sons at every track and field, band event, etc. they participated in. They had so many tee shirts with great memories. I ended up cutting the graphic section out of each tee and sewing them onto a large piece of fabric which I made into a quilt for each of them - and- they look great! And they use them! You would have to cut up your concert mementos but could be a great way to make them into something useful and unique.

I can never make myself like white shoes. I always think they shout. The lightest I can go is skin toned, which I love. Send your concert Tees off to be made into a quilt. They look great as conversation pieces in your family room, hold memories and are comfy to curl up under when watching tv

Concert tees are almost always a bad boxy shape, with annoying ribbed necklines. I always and immediately cut the necklines out into a boat or notched scoop. Sometimes I crop the hem too. No hemming required. Then they become flattering for the gym, house/garden jobs and with leather jackets and maxi skirts for going out. Way cooler.

I love puffer vests. You have to find the right one though. I don't like any of the ones you have shown. Personally, I prefer mine to be more cropped rather than oversized. I like very little stretch in my jeans, if any. My rule is 1-2% stretch max with the remaining cotton. I am happy if I can find 100% cotton denim. I'm old too at 59....lol. I will admit the stretch jeans now are better than they were a few years back. Back then they all seemed to stretch out after a few hours of wear and became very baggy. They also wore out very fast too with the cheap stretch. I went years without buying jeans because I hated the stretch so much and that's all you could buy at one point. I'm happy things have changed the past few years and I am now able to find denim jeans I like again.

I live in Colorado and love my puffer jackets and vests. They really do keep me warm in Winter and everyone wears them here. Band tees, in my younger days when I went to concerts I bought them and wore them out I wore them so much.....today I would not really want them so much. I never jumped on the chunky shoe/boot trend...I am tall and have big feet so they are not for me.

Add to the list alot of shoes and boots that are made of “man made” material because they are stiff, give you blisters and your feet can’t “breathe”. Also ankle boots and taller that don’t have zipper access are super awkward to take on and off. The older you get the more you realize the way clothes and shoes feel may be even more important than the way they look!

Chunky white Chelsea boots. Guilty as charged. I agree. White jeans, white sweater, and maybe a black (or black and white tweed/check) jacket or blazer. That's because the sole of said chunky white Chelsea boots is black. I'm 5'2" and it is the only way to wear these. Fortunately, they only cost me $100 two years ago.

I do love them with cropped pants, as another commenter mentioned. Thank you for sharing your regrets!

I live in a cold weather state. Puffers are necessary. However, I am a short person. I only buy puffers that have small space stitching. If there is a big, square pattern--pass. If there is a design to the stitching especially if it gives the illusion of synching at the waist, yes. Nobody wants to look like the Michelin Tire man. If you want a 2nd or 3rd trench, the thrift it. Don't buy brand new.

I can relate to all your choices and I already knew the lug sole chelsea style calf boots were not going to suit me, so I'm glad I dodged that mistake. My partner lent me one of his puffer vest years ago because I'm often cold and they are really versatile and functional but I can never make myself wear it out in public lol. He looks amazing in his, but I just can't do it sorry! I wanted to buy some platform sandals for the height but they also don't move or flex when you walk, and I remember wearing them 20 or so years ago, and they were just a safety hazard in the end! I'm relieved even you make fashion mistakes. Great video :)

Thanks for sharing...yes have quite a few of these fashion regrets. Although I don't think the trench should be...if you love it... keep it and wear it on rotation with the others. I have 4 trench coats...no regrets as I'm in Melbourne so can wear most of the year. No stretch jeans are frustrating as I think they look better but as you say need to be relaxed fit. IMO for what it worth....i think you could get away with the black trainers and the black boots as you are tall so legs could handle visual breaks between boot and skirt and also your feet are in proportion...it would look strange if they were tiny.

I personally never see the point of puffa vests. Your jumper sleeves will get all wet if it rains! However if yours isn't oversized it could be worth wearing it under a winter wool coat. Extra warmth when it's really full length puffa coat weather but a wool coat just looks so much more stylish. I'm contemplating getting one for this reason.

Sandals. I've bought two pairs now of Gianluca sandals from Amazon. They're handmade in Italy, real leather straps AND soles, a bit expensive but not too much ($125 or so American), and they come in men's and women's sizes; they're about identical. I wear an EU size 42, bought both pairs in a 42, and could definitely have gone with a 41, maybe even a 40. They're a bit long. But if you're into earthing, or natural or rustic is your vibe, as it is mine, these are great sandals. It'll probably take them 20 years to wear out.

Re: the black Adidas and white Docs I am short, hourglass, with chunky legs and small feet - almost the opposite of you!. Black shoes make my feet look smaller and I look chunkier in the leg - UNLESS the black shoe is chunky too to bring some balance. The white Docs would probably be good on someone like me as they would bring some balance by making my feet look less small. I have some tan Doc boots and they are great!

And I have to say I was surprised you were talking about style regrets you made. I could have saved you the Vlog and the money .. No white shoes ever only sneakers...to this day that’s true. NO wearing White after Labor Day or before Memorial Day in the US of course New Zealand is going into Summer now and US is going into winter ...however the NO WHITE is true no matter who or where you live--This new world not only do I not like it but I don’t understand it - life was so much easier growing up in the 60’s 70’s and 80’ the MACHINE (cell phones & computers) have completely messed things up. Like I said before I could have told you ALL the regrets you made I completely get why you bought into the “styles” this is your job you vlog and you are now part of this “machine” that runs the world. I am not saying that you shouldn’t be doing any of what you do - it’s fine whatever you do but it’s so refreshing to see vloggers who admit that what they were touting was a mistake. I wish more You Tube vloggers would get on and say I bought into this trend I regreted it hated it whatever it would just be great!!! Enjoy New Zealand once of the best places I ever visited!!!

I've only bought a few concert shirts as they were always too expensive for me at that time of my life, but I've run in some charity runs and a lot of these give you those unflattering cotton t-shirts and a friend of mine had all hers sewn into a quilt/blanket so she could have the memories but not have to wear them.

Guilty of buying multiples - mostly due to not being able to decide which (eg. color) will be the "right" one to complement my wardrobe.

Well, first off I LOVE puffer vests, they are perfect for me, although I never wear them with skirts. I agree with too many of the same thing - it can backfire. Occasionally it is useful, but two max. I hate band t shirts!! lol, so yes. Colorful animal prints are tricky. The only way I like them is to make the outfit monochrome by wearing the same main colour in the top or bottom. So it has to be one of your best colours. That’s my feedback- I’ve made oodles of mistakes over the years. Finally feel comfy and know what works on me. Must be hard to resist items when your job is fashion!!! 😅❤

I totally agree on the black Sambas. I find them hard to style especially living in Florida where I always wear white Keds sneakers if I'm not in sandals. Plus I don't find them comfortable. A bad buy.

@Thestyleinsider. I wear them with black straight leg pants and a white tshirt or with a midi skirt or an all white outfit. They look too heavy with jeans or shorts/skorts on my body.

Agree about puffers not keen on the look ,as I am a cold Dunedin person use puffer vest under blazers and coats I like the layered look and warmth. Caught out with no streatch jeans, too. Use the black trainers in wet weather with dark jeans or trousers they won't show marks and no one looks at you when it's pouring down.The black boots and white ones were a mistake.

I have small feet but I still hate chunky shoes, especially if they're stiff. Awful! But I do love that height of boot that you hate. It's very flattering on my skinny calves.

I agree about the black boots which are kind similar in fit to a sock boot, but chunkier (just because that style would look heinous on me!). But I disagree on the height. I've been waiting forever for mid-calf (actually, right below calf muscle) boots to come back in style because I DO want to draw attention to my calves AND I want to balance out my wide shoulders. I look too much like a spinning top with tight to my ankle boots!! I understand about the white boots, (I also don't like my feet to grab too much attention), but they look great on you in the photos you showed! (Just the angle?). These are great shares, Leoni. Definitely worth thinking about before buying!

I abhor white shoes. Period. I like the black sambas. The socks threw things off. The green animal print skirt could have worked with a top in the green/yellow family!

I don’t like wearing warm vests like puffers, my torso overheats in them but my arms still get really cold, even if wearing two sweaters. They don’t flatter any woman’s shape, but they can look kind of cute for a very outdoorsy outfit, like an English Country one. To me, it’s just so much more flattering, simple and more practical to wear a slim, shaped, quilted jacket, like Ralph Lauren’s, instead, and these don’t pack on the visual weight so much. Then, I only need one light-to-medium weight sweater underneath and my temperature stays balanced. I especially wouldn’t wear a puffer vest if overweight, why add excess bulk?

I am guilty of the sweatshirt collection. I do wear them….at least most of them. I love them for my lifestyle. A regret for me is a white button up shirt. I hate them! I have never cared for how they fit for me so i just quit trying. I am with you on the band tees. (I just bought one last month) i will wear it though, but i really do not need them.
