OUTFITS - My controversial take on outfits and how to create your style formula.

[@blessedforever3325]

I love simple outfits. Top and bottom and sometimes a completer piece. If the weather allows. Don’t want to look too contrived. I think your style is very close to mine. It was really amazing the advice you gave to wear a piece of clothing all day if you are unsure of it. That has helped me. I’ve bought clothing to copy an influencer and sometimes that was a big mistake. I’m all about banana republic and loft and jcrew and gap and some old navy. I need tall size bottoms so that limits me a little.

I'm glad you've found that trick useful! It really does help to get to know a piece better when you wear it for a full day.

My go to formula is blue denim with a shirt or blouse in summer and blue denim with a sweater or cardigan sweater in winter. For shoes I go with sandals en sneakers in spring and summer and for ankle- or lace up boots in winter. I love color, so I add that in my tops mostly. Or in my jewellery.

Sounds great! A formula you love makes it SO easy to get dressed!!

[@blessedforever3325]

I have very few dresses. Like 8. No skirts. Just too much effort to figure out an outfit with a skirt for me. If I can find a dress I love I’m thrilled.

Appreciated your very clear, specific examples of how/where to start--thank you!

[@KristenCainStyle]

You are brilliant and your desire to help women is authentic. Very impressive. Thank you.

[@KristenCainStyle]

Wow, thank you! I really appreciate your kind words. 🧡

Thank you for this video. It was very helpful. Purple is my favorite color however there's not a lot of purple clothing that I actually like. So, my eye glasses are always purple. I don't buy outfits, only pieces to mix and match with other pieces I already own. However, I have been moving towards wearing dresses. One and done clothing options. It makes getting dressed really easy.

[@KristenCainStyle]

You are so welcome! I love your comment. Purple glasses are a perfect way to incorporate the color you love in a statement way! And dresses... yes! The one and done factor is super enticing. Thanks for watching. 🥰

Super video 👍🏽 have you seen CELINE fall 2023 speaking of French style? It’s beautiful! 🌸🌸🌸🌸

Hi! New subscriber here! I am finally at the point where I’ve found out my colors but the last time I went to look at any clothes, I got totally confused as to where I was supposed to have the color😅. This video has really helped me out to fit it into my tops. I feel that is where I really like the color. The rest is not so important to me lol. I am also into scarves of all sizes and textures. So I think that will be my main focus as well! Thank you for this video! 🌸

[@KristenCainStyle]

Hello! Thanks for subscribing. Welcome! I'm so glad you found this helpful. When I want to add color, I usually opt to add it in my tops also. Please let me know if there are any topics you'd like me to address in future videos. Thank you for watching. 🥰

I am 100% on board with the uniform approach. It seemed to happen on its own for me. I'd pull black Spanx leggings, black boots/booties and a sweater all winter. I have several varieties of the leggings and boots and I'd rotate sweaters frequently. It works. Same for summer but not as limited because of weather. I do shorts and a top or a casual dress all summer long. I buy a few colors of the ones I love and rotate with my bags and shoes. It's easy and freeing. I'm also team undone. I'm that way with everything from my home, my haircut, you name it. I think it's my personality and I'm drawn to things that feel more organic but imperfect. To me, there's such beauty in the imperfections. I will say that I'm not one who wants to look like any certain person (style icon) or culture. I shy away from the idea that others do it better and I don't mean to imply that that's what you're saying at all! I love expressing my own personality through clothes, accessories, my home and it's all a wonderful creative outlet. xx

Thank you so much for this video... you taught me so much!! I'm the layering person ... plain underneath, building up with layers & large more jewelery....

[@KristenCainStyle]

You are so welcome! Thanks for your comment. I'm a layering person, too! 💖

❤ this video!

[@KristenCainStyle]

Thank you! 🥰

Hi Kristen. I am rewatching all your videos and this one is resonating with me now. I think I would like to explore capsule wardrobe / uniform idea. Keep it simple and build my style muscle from there! The real question is whether I am able to actually part with items that didn’t make the cut. Most of them anyway. No “keep if for now just in case” I feel this is what stops my progress. Any thoughts? Thank you!

[@KristenCainStyle]

Hi K- I love how much you are working on your wardrobe and how much you've learned over the past months. Great work! I have lots of thoughts. Great question! I'm going to answer it on next week's IG live. And we'll chat about this tomorrow on our coaching call. 💖

[@JaneStoller-Schoff]

I have just watched two other videos you have, and in both of them you happen to be wearing royal blue. Imo, that color is dynamite on you! I opened this video and saw you in this paler color----it's not terrible on you, but it doesn't "pop" like the saturated blue. Just fwiw. (I think the old "color me beautiful" program would've called you a summer, maybe? Not sure.) I appreciate your thoughtful videos!

[@KristenCainStyle]

Thanks for your thoughts. I'm usually wearing some shade of blue!! 💙 I haven't ever had my colors done, and likely won't. I tend to wear what 'feels' best to me on any given day. Thanks for being here! 🥰

[@lizbethdane]

Love this video! What do I do if I decided to have a closet full of variety in ALL seven areas? 🤪 Seriously tho, great tips, I will be trying them out right away.

[@KristenCainStyle]

Thanks! I'd start with one area and go from there. It can be overwhelming at the beginning... stick with it and you'll likely begin to see some favorite formulas emerge. 💕

[@connienunez9924]

Changing top half always makes the outfit look different to me.... especially because we spend so much time sitting across from others

[@blessedforever3325]

I wish I could wear jumpsuits or more dresses. But just don’t work for me and my proportions.
