Shop Your Closet For Minimalist Outfits | Slow Fashion

Ciao everyone! Today I'm shopping my wardrobe for minimalist style outfits! Learning to shop your closet is so beneficial for capsule closets, minimalist wardrobes and shopping less. I hope you like these looks - let me know if you think they are a hit or a miss!
On this channel, I share #slowfashion​​​​​​ and #sustainablefashion​​​​​​ tips that center around how to shop your closet, and restyling pieces you already own. I also spotlight brands that I believe in every now and then. I believe in #creativityoverconsumption​​​​​​, and that we all have the power to be conscious consumers.
Slow fashion looks different for everyone, and I'm so grateful you share this space with me!

Please never stop doing these "shop your own closet" videos. I have learned so much!!! Saludos desde Chile

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

never! I learn from them too! ;) Hugs from Canada! xx

[@maytelopez6073]

Agree!!!

[@contat.17719]

Otra chilena mirando a Alyssa 🤣 saludos desde Montreal

[@debratalbert]

I so admire your willingness to "lean in" on looks that require you to try something outside of your own aesthetic. It has inspired me more than once! Thank you!

[@mlayne130]

I’ll be honest.. I hate the outfits and would literally Never wear them. BUT. I love the idea behind this.. taking inspiration from outfit photos and not necessarily focusing on every specific item they use- but taking inspiration and finding the closest thing in my closet to recreate it! Such a good idea

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

hahaha all good! It's the concept that's important and I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks for watching xx

[@shariris]

Just want to be sure you know how much your videos have assisted me through my midlife style crisis! Many thanks for all you do!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

this is so wonderful to hear, I take it to heart! I'm so glad you enjoy it xx

[@ladyjade6446]

Shopping your closet is such a good idea. You forget what you have when the seasons change.

[@carolynsanner8253]

You are classy with a tailored elegance. No need at all to be "cool!" Love these shop your closet videos. Thanks so much, Alyssa.

[@analys1422]

You videos have slowly inspired me to not over purchasing. I have always thrifted, but I have slowed down there too. Love love the first outfit.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

ahh that is amazing to hear and really makes my day. Thank you for watching! xx

[@anacasillas6973]

I love how you start with someone else’s outfit and in the process of reproducing it, it takes a life of its own.Your version becomes a fusion of your personal style (via the pieces in your closet) with the inspiration outfit. Always a pleasure to watch your videos.

[@SerenaDAlexander]

love that "fusion of your personal style"

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

thank you so much for the kind words Ana it means a lot! xx

[@solangebernardi8876]

I've been 'shopping my closet", thanks to you, Alyssa. 🥰🥰🥰

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

wowwww!! Thank you for watching! xx

[@SerenaDAlexander]

Love this way of shopping your wardrobe based on looks from social media. Showing that you really don't have t buy so much! check out what is already in your collection. even if you don't have the exact same items. like the second outfit. genius!

[@EmilyElizabethMay]

"I am gobsmacked" - sums up the whole process of shopping your closet! 👌 It's the best feeling when you end up with an outfit that you never would have thought to do otherwise.

[@skd7028]

“Not horrible”. The new gold standard. Lol. Outfit 1 is great

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

LOL my inner critic!! xx

[@vivettegarciadeister2751]

You nailed the first outfit. The socks in the second one are preposterous, in my opinion. ;)

[@heidilanders9807]

Alyssa, when you show your final outfit, you should insert the inspiration photo next to it, so we can compare final results.

[@lfkilcran]

Love how you interpreted the first outfit and the second....except the socks sort of through me off. How about NO SOCKS and just the shoes. As always...fabulous!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you Lisa! haha yes lots are saying no socks! Have a great week!

[@susanvanduyn2811]

Alyssa, you are indeed inherently COOL! Thank you for your style analysis.

[@susanclarke431]

I think you did a great job with both outfits. The first outfit is more my style. I would wear the second without a crop top and no long socks. Loved this video.

[@nomvulavmoloko6255]

Ms B, you look so adorable with Outfit #2, but the classic dresser you are, shone in Outfit #1. Thanks for always challenging us to explore our closets.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you Nomvula! I agree I was more comfortable in the first look but the second was a lot of fun! xx

[@Ivymoon]

Alyssa! Also I love your «shop your closet» features, I learn quite, a from how to combined colors and textures. And learning from cool bloggers, sharing awesome styling hacks or tips from what you have @ home! Have a pleasant week, and hugs for you and Apollo😸💟 CIAO!

[@TampaTodayRealEstate]

You have made me so much more aware of what I like and don't like in my closet. Getting rid of things is such a cleansing awesome feeling.

[@lasma.a]

You ARE cool enough to pull off that look! 😊👍🏻 But yeah white socks would look better 😁 Thank you for these "shop your closet" videos! They help me to tame the shopaholic in me and help me to figure out how to style the things I already have 😊

[@heidilanders9807]

I liked what you did with both those outfits, except that you could maybe invest in a pair of new white socks for the second one, as I don't think the gray really worked. Nice work!

[@louiseparisotto3630]

So wish I had your figure! The first outfit can go from day to evening; the second is more me - athletic and great for walking around NYC but white socks are a must (or anklets for me). Another great video! Love your positive, upbeat, no nonsense personality - thank you :)

[@jodycourt]

I LOVE both outfits, Alyssa, and you ARE cool enough to wear whatever you want! Even a paper bag if you so choose! These are so simple, but so chic and look comfy. I like comfy and cool together! THANK YOU, dear! Are the Veja sneakers comfy and good for walking long distances?

[@hmsargeant]

YES! More “cool girl NYC Brooklyn” vibes pleaseeee

[@tanyabooysen3958]

Inspired as usual,have been shopping my elderly parents closet as well and they are delighted,found a good quality blaser🥼🇿🇦

[@jbar234]

Every time I feel that dreaded “outfit envy” coming on I think of you! Thanks for everything you share, I learn so much from you! 💜💜

[@martaanna3698]

You are absolutely cool enough, Alyssa! Great recreations. I am always interested in shopping your closet series with some looks of Olivia Palermo, Victoria Beckham, Megan Markle, Queen Rania of Jordan, Queen Letizia of Spain.

[@katmcc1517]

Love both styles! I agree with others about the socks so maybe now we need a video about how to shop someone else's closet... Maybe your husband had the white socks 😂

[@BriLamberson]

Such good advice! I love how you break each look down and it's so refreshing to see familiar pieces from your wardrobe popping up. ❤️ Annnnd that last look is to die for.

[@lisawalter2311]

I really enjoy when you do this type of video! I’d love to see then more regularly. They’re really helping me to change my shopping habits--which is my big goal for the year. Thank you!

[@tracyfavre3254]

You’re definitely there on the cool factor! Never doubt that.

[@wavyjenny602]

I love this series, please don’t ever stop doing these! I loved the first outfit, really practical and could be dressed up more or dressed down, as you showed us with the H&M jacket. The second outfit was not so much to my taste, although it looked great on the instagrammer and on you. Not sure I could ever wear socks and trainers with a short skirt , or a crop top for that matter!

[@BubblyViolin11]

I think the sock and shoe look is def more of an athleisure casual type look and I've always viewed your style as more relaxed, clean, and slightly elevated. Nonetheless, I always enjoy watching you break everything down. These types of vids always give me a different way of looking at outfit pics. I tend to just 'like' or 'pin' things as general inspo, rather than looking through the lens of how I can recreate it with my own pieces. Love these!

[@nancyharris9909]

Loved the first outfit especially with the brocade jacket. The other one...not a fan of the white socks and think it would look better with just the trainers. Love all the ideas and inspiration for shopping your closet! Thanks

[@IEVAKambarovaite]

Excuse me? You're the definition of cool :) x

[@theresascholtz5298]

“This is so not me”, and yet you totally owned the look 😍 I’d love to see you recreate some of Victoria Beckham’s outfits. Your style reminds me of hers.

[@almabackstrom5414]

I love how you show how to recreate step by step. That is so helpful. I thought you rocked both outfits and I am going to try these looks as well. I also like how you point out the details like the necklaces and how the purse is held. I might totally miss that. Thank you for a fun and inspiring video.🤗

[@flavia9464]

Your videos are always so inspiring. I loved how you said "this is so not me" but gave it a try anyway. It's all about having fun!!! ♡ Kisses from Brazil!

[@cassiemacdonald9672]

I second this, please never stop doing this kind of video! Could you do one for Dakota Johnson, I love her style x

[@tinkerbellss4533]

Your "shop your closet videos" are so useful, how you don't just replicate an outfit but adapt it to your style and the pieces you already own and love. Sooo good!

[@bstrong5016]

I love the outfit you are wearing to talk us through...it is perfection 👌

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

thank you!

[@francinef9884]

I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel! You have inspired me! Also, love your sense of humor!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

oh yay!! You are so kind thank you!

[@clarashook3398]

Love, love, love these style of videos you do! Both the styles you showcase and showing us the process. ❤

[@barbaragolden3620]

Alyssa you look so terrific in black! Thanks for the video

[@Marsolan]

First outfit was awesome!! Loved this video. Thank you so much. Your talent and your generosity in sharing it are just beautiful!

[@rosihoogeveen4620]

Love both of your outfits, but the second one 😍 In my eyes you’re cool enough to wear it. Keep doing this videos, I love it.

[@nishaisamazing]

You are 100% cool enough for the second outfit - it's so good!!

[@christinebrooker5050]

Black socks and high ponytail maybe better, in my opinion. Love your videos.

[@juliam7056]

I love these kind of videos. If you can , an Olivia Palermo look is always great. Love her style.

[@eleanorbarsic8065]

I love you in a black button down!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

thank you Eleanor! xx

[@karelmillard9854]

Same 😍

[@Valzora-]

I've been on the fence about white sneakers. Have had a pair in a cart for weeks and wished they were in my closet to wear quite a few times. Outfit 2 has given me more ideas and options. Since I have white socks I'm ready to buy the shoes knowing they will get plenty of use for many years. I've been wearing an outfit similar to the first and love it, too. Thank you for these fun and useful videos. Well done! Ciao!

[@skd7028]

Get the white sneakers. You will be surprised by how useful they are. From one who has recently bought them…..

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

I do wear my white sneakers often ... there are also some with a bit of colour or accent colour if you don't want too much contrast! :)

[@SoNick25]

I was like you (I wasn't even a sneaker girl!), but then took the plunge with white all star sneakers three or four years ago. No regrets at all!!! They literally GO WITH EVERYTHING! Sometimes it's our mindset that prevents us from trying new stuff. In winter I wasn't so sure about the white and I was gifted a black pair from my daughter, but I almost always go with the white all seasons!!

[@TheAmiMom]

I found some on clearance in my size and have worn them a lot! They are wonderful for days when you’re doing a lot of walking and also super versatile!

[@Valzora-]

I thank Alyssa and everyone who encouraged me to get a pair of white sneakers. One reason I hesitated is I bought a charcoal pair earlier this year. They, however, have a larger footprint and look clunky with summer dresses. I've ordered a slimmer pair of white ones similar to what Kate Middleton wears. My coloring is classic winter and the high contrast is very flattering for me.

[@janelleespinosa6247]

After months up until even now( I know those is an older video) I finally understand your mindset! I have been balking and whining about Mayne 1 in, 1 out, but I finally get it! At 64, I don't want any limitations like a NO buy. But I have come around to every purchase or outfit being as mindful as I can, and lol I ha entire needed to but anything! I am just now understanding...OMG, took me a while!

[@ms_prescott_regrets]

Love the outfit inspiration and your take on them. I thank you for giving me new people to follow. 💕 I love classic film and the fashion styles. How about doing Lauren Bacall and Ginger Rogers or Barbara Stanwyck? I really think you could do it modern take on their iconic style. Your videos are such fun 🤩

[@saramaloney6082]

I love these videos!! I love how you work with the style elements and not focusing on the exact pieces Very excited to try these looks!! I have the perfect jacket in mind that gets too little air time! ❤️

[@aprilmcqueen3048]

I realize this video is a year old, but I watch your shop your closet videos on repeat. I hope you keep this type of content in your repertoire.

[@helenehelene1321]

Loving the grey socks and sneakers! Probably not my style either but you made me want to try this too. It looks fresh and fun, thanks for the inspo!

[@dijanawarrender8627]

Thank you for doing this sort of video. It is so good to help us think outside the box. You have inspired me to try wearing one of my favourite but hardly worn shirts as a jacket. Hopefully it will now get much more wear.

[@garlicgirl3149]

Loved both.😍 White socks 🧦 and it would be perfect.

[@flopoirer6957]

Thank you! And you are already cool!! Loved the second outfit on you!

[@nufoxiemommy]

Liked the first one. I love wide leg pants

[@loelli__]

every video you make is a winner!! please don't ever stop❤️!

[@lfoleyify]

LOL "if there's not a day that goes by where I'm not wearing these ... I don't know where that sentence is going" hahaha same .... same.

[@TheAmiMom]

I probably would have checked my husband’s drawer for the white socks! Loved look one! Amazing! Look two was cute but not wild about the socks… but hey! It was very entertaining and I still learned something!

[@nicoleb0425]

Just discovered your channel and I’m loving these shop your closet videos!

[@maytelopez6073]

Super hit for those outfits!!!!

[@ritaweltevreden5596]

Hi Alyssa you look stunning in that black button down. I love these videos. Keep them coming! Love from The Netherlands XOX

[@TheZeyre]

I definitely love Look2 on you!!! Really fun. I would like to see you check out Giada V...the Italian chef ..she has some.awesome sundresses and lots of gold hoops. You may have fun her ... Have a great week that is not too hot. Xoxo J🌺🌺🌺🌺

[@annakrol6912]

Great idea! I love Giada’s summary and effortless look! Not to mention her radiant smile 😊

[@oxanahiaasen9852]

Wow🤩 So much work you put in your video 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻Thank you for that and for inspiration 🥰

[@amyli092]

I feel like the second look works on women who have a more youthful glow/personality per say, and I'm in no way trying to be disrespectful in saying that. The cropped style doesn't work on everyone; I know it doesn't work for me. I appreciate these videos so much regardless! You did your best, Alyssa 😊

[@sarahryanthestylecoach]

Nailed the two looks. I might try outfit 2 myself as it's outfit my comfort zone....despite it looking super comfy 😅It would be interesting to see what I come up with. Thanks Alyssa!

[@michellefisher724]

Loved first outfit. I think I would go with the black socks with second outfit, but that’s just me 😊

[@pjalexandra]

love how you appeared to surprise yourself with the 1st outfit. I've done that before too. . .as well as the 'hey that isn't as bad as I thought' sort of comment :) As always, I really learn from the style breakdown/analysis for each outfit.

[@dannaboot9508]

Love everything but the shoes on the first look!💙

[@ReneeLaPorte15]

Jennifer Anniston 💙 look 1 is my fav!

[@shelleyschultz8337]

Another outstanding video! You are a closet magician 💫

[@norawotton5440]

I love that your second look wasn’t your style but you replicated it anyway.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

ahh thank you Nora! It was still helpful for me and figuring out my style! xx

[@secondeve610]

Last outfit super cute on you. Love you Your page s concept!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

thank you so much Robin! xx

[@silviafrassineti5214]

I absolutely love the first outfit. Yours better than the models. The second is nice but not me at all. But this Shop your Closet serie is amazing. I watched every video and always got inspired.

[@fashionandluxury101]

Love these videos, I’ve learned so much

[@elizabethhill2923]

Love your channel . I like the black outfit but I would wear without socks.

[@karendarlingartist]

You are so good at this!

[@guachuleruleru]

I love this section ❤

[@TheLovePowerGoddess]

I loved that first look, pinstripe pants with the white belt. The second look, needed kinda new white sneakers to not bring the look down too much

[@samiansley5740]

Just bought your necklace! Can’t wait to see it in person when it arrives!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

omg thank you so much for your support Sami! I hope you love it! xx

[@annakrol6912]

Hope you enjoy your necklace Sami as much as I do! Got it couple of months ago and wear it all the time. As Alyssa says, it goes with everything! And I wear it during my shopping adventures as a gentle reminder to shop mindfully 😊

[@samiansley5740]

I’ve been saving and waiting and when there was the recent sale I got to pick it up! I can’t wait! ❤️

[@freefallingintograce4634]

Amazing Alyssa! you're so brave and encouraging us to step out of our comfort zone. And doing it with ease, lightness, and grace. Thank you Bella! Love this about you! Happy Sunday and big hugs! 🌺🙏

[@genevievedrouin289]

Such good content!! Love the tips. Thank you!

[@yfc1196]

I love your black button down shirt outfit better than the 2 Instagram ones… Is that wrong? 😂 love the series keep them coming please !

[@debraglasco100]

I really liked this. So fun.

[@lynnwalker]

Such fun videos! Love both looks. I think the second one would look better with just the trainers and no socks =)

[@Donnaconrad1]

I love "shop your closet." invest in a pair of white socks couple of dollars and you can rock that outfit! all day and all night

[@normabyrd3896]

I am learning to utilize the clothes I already have with your videos! Thank you

[@karelmillard9854]

You are beyond cool enough! Lol Both outfits were great, but the first one was my favorite! I think I can recreate a version of that myself! 🙏✨

[@tanyaeve9498]

Love all the creativity, as always. Also, how you reflect on how to adapt it to your own style.

[@kathysteele3071]

Another amazing video. I like both looks but not sure about the socks. As I am seeing more white sock moments on Pinterest, etc. I might invest in some 😄 I am starting to know what pieces you might select from YOUR closet and now what things in MY closet might work (big moment).

[@vilmaoshea2829]

You never fail to inspire me. I love the way you analyse and break down each look 😀

[@beverleyikoku2298]

Hi. I’m new to your channel and I’d just like to say how impressed I am with the content and presentations of your previous videos. I am in my sixties but I love your style and the way in which you consider so many aspects regarding fashion. Could you possibly go through building an outfit from say a tee shirt and jeans? If you’ve already done one, my apologies.

[@suzannedesylva3805]

Hit!!

[@DestinyFerreira29]

you always make it work!!!!

[@suzannedesylva3805]

Hit!
