Second Hand Shopping After My Colour Analysis!

[@leenanorms]

you're wearing the scarf! And I LOVE that embroidered skirt, VERY glad you got it

[@morehannah]

Thank you for the scarf!!! 💛💛

[@floralspectre]

I was going to comment how perfect the colour matches of the scarf seem to be🌈 Nicely done Leena!!

[@ubermut1379]

Hannah - if you don’t wear neutrals - then don’t wear them!! There are sooo many people who are afraid of colour and I LOVE that you embrace bright colours! And I adore the orange/pink dress on you, but as a larger chested woman myself, I TOTALLY understand the annoyance about those „boob stitches“ that are waaaay too small. But other than that, the shape really suits you!

[@IonIsFalling7217]

Right? The word “neutrals” makes my heart sink.

[@ubermut1379]

@@IonIsFalling7217 I mean… I don’t want to judge those people too harshly. Wearing colour CAN take some courage. Buuuut at the same time: I have moved to an area with a majority of blonde people recently and it REEEAAAALLY shows in my wardrobe. I buy so much black stuff right now simply because there’s nothing else available that works with my high contrast colouring, even though I would LOVE a good wine red, copper, burnt orange bottle green or petrol. It’s just NOT available. All I can find are beiges, pastel colours (which truly do look horrible on me) and greys, navys and blacks. So in a way, I DO blame😂😅🥹😭 I just… would love to have more colour options available 😩

[@Rebecca-zj4wq]

I think the advice to start with neutrals is for people who are afraid of colour. That's clearly not you!

[@BlackCatBritt]

As someone who almost exclusively wears black (+ the occasional dark jewel tone), I agree. Wear what you are comfortable in, and don't worry too hard if you're not fulfilling part of the full color palette. No use buying stuff you'll never wear.

[@strawycape9693]

Mass made clothing that tries to be super tailored around the boobs is just never going to work for a lot of people so I don't know why they bother with these types of styles! I am on the opposite end of the spectrum and it never works for me either!

[@saskia5644]

So many cute options! I think it would be great for you to take a basic sewing and altering class because the second dress would’ve totally worked with minor altering. Maybe also a fun video idea for within the sustainable fashion realm?

[@saskia5644]

Additionally, you can remove the band in the back of the green top if you prefer it that way!

[@morehannah]

This is probably something I should do but it seams (pun intended) so overwhelming!!

[@saskia5644]

@@morehannah I understand completely, it is quite challenging and also frustrating but for me it has been one of the most rewarding skills to learn. There is nothing quite like wearing something you made!

[@anniestrooo]

Sewing small adjustments is life changing and doesn’t need almost any extensive skill to grow

[@janaepting8940]

@@morehannah Honestly as someone who sews I can completely understand that and while I do agree with the other commenters that it is a handy skill to have and also a really fulfilling hobby I think I can understand that with a small child and a business that may not be your number one priority right now. So for the time being maybe you can look into giving these pieces to a seamstress? Small alterations are often not as expensive as one might think and it can make a really huge difference!

[@magdagrif]

The green halter with the flower skirt was so so pretty!!

[@xJentaa]

Was coming to the comments to say this. Fav outfit for sure!!

[@chereindolente746]

Honestly I never handwash "handwash only" clothing ... I guess it's not the best but washing them on the delicate or wool program depending on the material is good enough for me 🤷

[@Rachelhappyface]

Same! Often I’ll just pop them in a delicates bag and chuck them in with the rest of my clothes on 30 😂

[@TT-_-]

Yep, delicate setting and -washing liquid, washbag and low temp should work for most "handwash only" clothes😁 I would guess that embroidery is the reason for the skirt's tag: it might get caught in the washing machine on zippers/buttons etc, and the washbag helps with that. Dry clean is the "bad" thing in tags, I have never used a dry cleaning place in my life😂 And water washing very likely destroys dry clean clothes.

[@IonIsFalling7217]

Same! Lingerie bags and don’t put them in the dryer is good enough for me. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@chandrasunny]

If the delicates bag doesn't seem like enough protection you could always pin some scrap fabric over the embroidered side of the skirt for extra protection. The seamstress who did my wedding dress said I could even doo that with my gown, so if it's good enough for a wedding dress your skirt should be fine.

[@aloisguinut7203]

French cashmere company Bompard actually recommends to wash their expensive cashmeres in the machine with wool program over hand wash!

[@charmax88]

Hot Milk make amazing large cup size nursing bras. They're expensive but you literally wear them every day and they make everything you wear on top better. I'm into my 4th year of nursing and wouldn't be without them

[@Sophie_Cleverly]

I really like the Sugar Candy ones also (you can get both of them from Bravissimo), I'm not nursing any more but I bought one without the clips just to wear every day and it's fabulous 😂

[@salomelelouet4635]

A big store of charity shops is such a great idea ! It's so cool ! (The artificial lighring tho... it makes it so difficult to identify colours in stores... i always was cery peculliar on colours and noticed it often)

[@cltinturkey]

That flowered skirt will be a workhorse in your wardrobe. It's such fun! I love you in orange, and I think you did a great job testing out your most flattering colors. They really light up your face.

[@bectoons]

The embroidered skirt was gorgeous! I enjoyed this vid especially when Hannah exclaimed "I'm not about that cashmere handwash life!" Hilarious and relatable.

[@DestinyOfPig]

Great video! Kinda envious of the Great affordable second hand shopping, I find it so hard to come across where I live in Germany. And I do think the beautiful colorful skirt would go best with a more unicolored top, just cause it needs the center of attention ♡

[@AndreeaC.]

I shop on Sellpy and Vinted in Germany!

[@C_22]

For the skirt, if turned inside out, put in one of those mesh laundry bags and on a delicate cycle (silks) it should be fine :)

[@quinnrhodes3617]

I absolutely loved this - your fashion content always makes me want to get more creative with my own wardrobe. I agree, you're nailing the spring colours, and I'm very tempted to check out the Charity Supermarket when I'm down in London this weekend!

[@uygurburunguz3759]

Hey Hannah! You can think of autumn as less saturated, so a autumn mustard would have more grey in it. Springs usually have some white in them, they are quite saturated with some lightness. I encourage comparing mustards and next to each other and on yourself, surely you can wear some better!

[@hannah-lk3oc]

With my itchy cardigans, I will sometimes sew a lining into it using softer material. That way, it feels like whatever soft thing you put in it but it LOOKS like the same nice sweater.

[@aadilamoolla4068]

My trick for hand wash only is to place the item in a laundry bag and select delicate wash - so far so good with an embroidered t-shirt.

[@sherbetlemons]

I adore that blue top! 💙 For Spring just remember bright, warm and light as a rule. You can hold your fan up to the colour and see if it harmonises rather than matches exactly because remember this represents a quarter of all colours which is over 2 million. Anything that feels heavy rather than sunshine-like is autumn. The colour needs to be able to hold the bright aquas and geranium bright warm reds. If it makes them look cheap, overpowering or naff it’s not Spring. I wash my cashmere sweaters in the machine on 30 degrees, no issues. p.s. try to go for bright denim rather than softer which I think your skirt was albeit a dark version 🌷💛🥰🦋☀️

[@chriskiefel7735]

Your skirt will go with everything. And I like the green tank top! Keep your eyes open for an orange or purple cardigan to wear over it for cooler evenings or mornings. That pop of colors together is GREAT! And Spring colors are bright and clear, whereas autumn has more "muddied" softer colors. You go girl!

[@lara_xy]

The way that you gravitate towards yellows and oranges is how I shop as well - except for black clothes! It's all I seem to buy, but I honestly can't imagine anything else, I love it! So don't force yourself to wear more neutrals just because they are "your colours".

[@lolamesser2463]

I really love how considerate you are with your choices-one can tell that you really want to invest in a sustainable and usable wardrobe!

[@sandykerr60s]

The green top is my fave on you - that colour! The blue, purple and orange also looked really good and I love the idea of bright on bright with no neutrals. That seems to suit who you are.

[@cheryl-lynnmehring8606]

The orange and pink dress, although the fit was terrible, the colors were perfect on you! 🧡🩷

[@SivIsGreen]

Literally just subscribed after watching the original color analysis video this morning. Loving your content so far! 😊

[@morehannah]

Thank you! Welcome!!

[@LissaxKristine]

I'm a spring and one of the best things about it is that our colors are easy to spot at a distance. Just stand back and scan and the bright colors will really pop out. Then, you can take a closer look and determine if it's really a spring. Some colors are REALLY close.

[@LissaxKristine]

Also, I heard that for spring yellows, think custard, not mustard. Spring colors are light, bright, warm, clear, (and splashy)

[@EmilyHeartsCookies]

You can always wash on 20-30 degrees if you use the wool or silk program on your washer. I machine wash all my cashmere! :) Loved the skirt and green top!!

[@lapislazulis2378]

First: that embroidered skirt is awesome and totally in my "deep winter" taste! I think you rock at picking spring hues and color blocking! Purple + orange and pink + orange with a psychedelic vibe or daisies in a 70s style are great combos on you!

[@TT-_-]

I always gravitate straight to sequins and glitter when shopping😂 I don't really like wearing them though; scratchy, harder to layer, catch on things, shed stuff, get wrecked in the wash... but so pretty⭐️💖🌟

[@Atalinay]

Love a followup video. Also yes that purple looked amazing. Your bright color blocking style is so fun and makes me want to try the same💛🧡

[@elspethfougere9683]

OH MY GOD!! These new colours are phenominal on you! It has made such a huge difference! Especially the blue which is so hard to figure out for a warm tones. I've just been binging colour palette videos the last few days, and keen to do this too! I remember reading library books on this when I was a teenager, so fun to see videos on it now and see it all explained so beautifully. Thanks hannah!

[@cheryl-lynnmehring8606]

Springs are hard to identify and to find the correct colors for! It is easy for the other seasons. Falls are muted and dark, muddy colors. Summers are cloudy pastels. Winters are clear and bold solids. Springs are light to medium and clear intensity. You nailed the orange and blue colors! I wish I could wear yellow and orange. 🧡💛💚💙🩵

[@towse]

The pink and orange dress in terms of color is amazing on you!

[@alanah3339]

i completely relate to the struggle of the cups of dresses being way too small 🥲. these colours look so good on you and completely fit your personality, the skirt especially is beautiful. i hope to see more videos like this if possible. London charity shop prices are so dear haha, it's insane that i can buy an ankle length wool coat for £5 where i live. i really love the selection of materials you can get access to at charity shops, i definitely recommend you read the material labels when shopping if you don't already; natural fibres last so much longer than polyester (and usually feel softer).

[@soulieobelissevan]

[@melber9408]

If you‘re washing Maschine has a delicate or Hand wash or wool/silk (they have different names but all do the same thing) cycle it’s completely fine to wash stuff that says „hand wash only“. Just use laundry detergent that is made for wool or silk with it. :)

[@laurahoughton5911]

That green looks beautiful on you!

[@LittleTriniP]

Could you try dying some of your current wardrobe to be more close to your Spring colours?

[@emskily94]

I think the pink and orange of that dress are definitely spring! Spring colours are normally clear (not muddy/having extra white/black/brown) and bright (saturated) and warm and I would definitely say that is. As a summer (a soft summer) I totally avoid orange as I think it’s too warm for me to pull off.

[@kellyfisher4251]

Please do a depop/Vinted follow up in a few months when your milkshake stops bringing all the boys to the yard. Plus would love to see your buying/selling online second hand process, please it’s the trilogy we need especially when where I live (Yorkshire) it’s snowing and showing no sign of stopping. Lots of love x

[@magpiesrcute7248]

[@LiliaandNova]

For some hand wash items you can get away with a gentle machine cycle - I use a garment bag when I do that 😅 Love that skirt Hannah, so cute!

[@GloriaTulwan]

I loved the green top on you ! I think I might be spring too because i think i suit those really bright colors too !

[@___vlc___5730]

Tip for handwasching clothes only, if its not made of wool especially Kaschmir or virgin wool, or with silk, wash it in fine wash cycle of your washing maschine. If it has embroidery or lace put it in a washing net, like for bras, to protect it. And it has some dirt or stains, use some soap and water to break it down a bit, cause the fine washing isn’t super aggressive in removing it. Also avoid washing it to often, since washing machines are still a bit harsh.

[@wagtail186]

Love the fashion videos you make and it's so nice to see I'm not the only one who stands in clothing shops, starring at random items and trying to figure out if it's my season🤣

[@Sophie_Cleverly]

I wish there were more shops like that! I do enjoy charity shops but 99% of the time the ones round here don't have anything I would wear. I was amazed when I went to one in London and found it had so much more alternative and trendy stuff.

The orange and pink in the orange and pink dress are fantastic on you! Good job (listening to) Sian! Both dresses are perfect colourwise and a great decision to turn them down for their fit

[@maya-gur695]

I was waiting to see what you'll do with the analysis results!

[@IshtarFish]

That skirt is gorgeous! Hand wash only is likely to preserve the embroidery - you can probably machine wash on cold in a delicates bag with like colours. I always do that with my "hand wash only" and haven't destroyed anything in 15+ years of washing so 🤷🏼‍♀ I also machine wash my cashmere etc that way.

[@proceduralgunk]

I'm glad you did a follow up cause the colours concept seemed a little flimsy but it was fun to see it in practice

[@mariahg343]

I love this video!! I really want to go thrift shopping to look for my colors as a brand new spring! 😄 I just found out yesterday. I would love to see more videos exactly like this. ❤

[@maureenwelton]

Well done! I think you got your colors exactly right.

[@polinakuzmina677]

You could buy the clicks or whatever they are called to tie the straps :) intimissimi, tezenis etc sell them :) Also it’s possible to hand wash in the washing machine. On delicate or low temp and low spin cycle. Works for me cos I’m too lazy 😂

[@tamarathorsen]

I think the second blue is more of a light spring blue and the blue you chose was maybe a true spring blue. Autumns are just more muted whereas spring is more bright. So the yellow - think of spring as golden sunflower yellow and the autumn is more mustard.

[@kslaney4161]

For the skirt, you could probably just pop it in a bra/delicates bag to prevent the machine or other clothes pulling on the embroidery, put in the washing machine on a delicate cycle or at least a small load and hang dry.

[@morehannah]

If only I did that with my actual bras 😅

[@uddajag8232]

Came to comments to say "you know, you could most likely wash the flower skirt on a delicate cycle/low temperature" but I guess I could've just agreed with you instead @kslaney4161. 😄 Good idea about the delicates bag since it'll protect the embroidery. To protect skirts embroidery is most likely why they recommend hand wash anyway. Just another tip in general: look at the label to see what materials are in the fabric. Often they can be washed at higher temperatures than the label says. If you research the material a bit it'll help you decide if you can risk it.

[@AnniCarlsson]

​@@morehannah most machines I seen today have a handwash program as well

[@CecilyaKitty]

Exactly! I bought mine especially because of the handwash/wool cycle and I wash my handknitted handwash-only sweaters with it with no problem, although you should use a detergent for delicates/wool as well. Then just dry flat (I lay them on top of my clothesline thingy) although this can take a while depending on the fabric thickness and air humidity. If I had to handwash them... they would also never get cleaned 😅

[@charlottesinclair9354]

@@morehannah even if you just turned the skirt inside out to wash that should protect it a bit, but definitely should be fine in a bag in with a general wash!

There are some analysts who do it online but I think in-person is better so that you can see the effects of the colors on yourself. Good luck!

[@hez_am_i2448]

I both agree and disagree with the whole colours concept. I think its super handy for explaining why 1 orange cardi looks great with a purple top but another orange cardi looks crap so is useful when trying to put together full outfits. But when it comes to shopping, if I know I want a green cardi, I would still just grab all the green ones that I like the style of, try them on, then use the colour method to help me pick of the ones I tried on that I like - which one I like best and is more likely to go with things already in my wardrobe. I also think the colour thing might explain sometimes those moments when you try something on and in theory everything about it is great, the fit, the cut, the pattern, the basic colour (ie 'green') being one you love and style - but something just feels off about it. In those sorts of cases I suspect what I might be picking up on is that particular shade isn't the most flattering for me even though I normally would like that colour. I can see how its really hard to shop on the rack with just your colours. You sort of also need at least the fan of the least flattering ones to help pick them out/avoid them too - then suddenly that's a lot of things to be carrying around. But could fully see how this is helpful for a stylist.

[@papayafun7226]

Ever since I was little I avoided off-whites, beige, and soft greys. They make me look washed out. Ever since that color theory started to spread around on KZbin, I started to look at colors more often. I still don't know which color palette I am, both silver and gold look good on me for example. But ever since I started to look at color even more I do forego sober colors and colors that have a black shade in them. And I picked up a lot of coral, mustard yellow, and teal. I can say, it saves me a lot of money! I like the restriction while shopping.

[@kitty_s23456]

@@papayafun7226 hi. If coral, mustard and teal look good on you, you could be an autumn. Try to see if rust/ burnt orange and olive green look good. If yes, then you're an autumn. Black (at least for tops or dresses) don't look good on the 3 seasons - only winters can wear them nicely. Black will give the other 3 seasons a sallow/ washed out look.

Turn your black Zara skirt inside out, put it in ond of those washing netbags for delicate items and wash at 30 degrees ℃ or woolwash programs. Works for most supposedly difficult items. Also, as long as there are no stains, airing it after each wear will do the job nicely.

Re the skirt (and even the cashmere jumper) just put them in a delicates bag or a pillowcase and wash them on a wool/hand wash cycle in the machine and dry flat and they *should* be fine! (Don’t dry cashmere on the radiator. My friend did this and ended up with a tiny shrunken jumper)
