Spring Wardrobe Essentials 2021 | Capsule Wardrobe Ideas

Love how you constantly show us how you style existing pieces in your closet instead of only featuring new additions. It's super helpful!

[@melisamahmutovic5412]

especially the black slip dress! She really likes to wear it

[@DailyHelenJ]

Thank you so much Anika :) I do share some more premium items on my channel and want to make sure I get the wear from it and promote quality over quantity. It's also far more realistic to repeat/rewear. I'm so happy you find this more useful as I do often worry it's getting way to repetitive :)

[@DailyHelenJ]

Definitely a very well loved item in my wardrobe :)

[@anikaatique7663]

@@DailyHelenJ Not at all! I personally love your ethos when it comes to fashion. It's not realistic or sustainable to constantly promote new closet additions, but on the flip side the extreme of minimalism where everything consists of the same 3 pieces also removes the fun from fashion and I love how you marry the two. Your closet always seems interesting while reusing a select few pieces and I appreciate all the thought you put in to constantly create new looks. Can't wait to see you grow!

[@igneale2346]

Agree with you on uniqlo tshirts. They're inexpensive, yet so so durable and even after many washes tend to hold their shape. A great basic for spring/summer.

[@DailyHelenJ]

Absolutely, it's a great affordable item that's great quality :) Thank you for watching x

[@denisadellinger4543]

I absolutely love your outfit! You are so right about the vision we have of ourselves in certain pieces of clothing. If we like ourselves we have confidence. We know what looks good on us and so we can take on any occasion knowing that it really isn't the outfit, it is us. Confidence on the inside makes confidence on the outside. If we are overweight, it's hard to see ourselves looking good in anything. But knowing and playing to our strong good features and wearing colors that make us shine can make someone with a few extra pounds feel good. You do the best you can with what you have.

[@DailyHelenJ]

I 100% agree. At the end of the day, as long as we feel good and confident in the clothes we wear, it's really all that matters. Thank you for watching xx

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I love linen, I try to get more linen basics every Spring/Summer, and H&M and Amazon have great ones for my budget. I also live in a very hot summer climate; on the bad days around 40C, linen is all I can wear. Linen knits are great, too, slightly warmer than woven linen, but much cooler than cotton-knit t-shirts.

[@DailyHelenJ]

100% true. We share the same love for Linen, especially in Australia where we often do have those high 30 or even 40 degree Celsius days!

[@MaryKim]

the blouses are so fem and Parisian !!! falling in love with this channel

[@DailyHelenJ]

Thank you so much Mary :)

[@reze3416]

Your outfits are so refreshing and youthful without that “teenie bopper” look! Love love love!

[@DailyHelenJ]

Thank you so much :) xx

[@midgeymoo5]

i love all the examples you had with all your pieces! really speaks to the versatility of the pieces you chose. loved this video and it’s definitely similar to a capsule wardrobe i would have for spring. your the only fashion youtuber that really captures the style i like. classic but with lots of interesting details and pieces to elevate the looks :)

[@DailyHelenJ]

Thank you so much for watching :) I'm honestly so happy that we share a similar style and that you find these videos helpful. Have fun building your capsule wardrobe for Spring x

[@12harrypotterfan34]

I love those new combat boots! I recently got a similar pair as well. I also really like the contrast of pairing feminine and edgy items; it adds such a nice visual interest to your outfits. It'd be awesome to see a styling/lookbook video on those boots!

[@DailyHelenJ]

Thank you Lauren :) Been very very happy with them . Would love to share how I style them very soon xx

[@stelaidrizi]

I love the light blue short-sleeved blouse 😍

[@ninakatherine4808]

the floral midi skirt and blue cardigan outfit is my fave! so pretty and happy 🥰 also the white sezane dress. thanks for another great video!

[@DailyHelenJ]

Thank you Nina :) Actually, that's one of my favourite outfits to wear lately as well :) xx

[@Josiannechan]

i love all your dresses! can't wait for the slip dress styling video!!

[@DailyHelenJ]

Excited to share soon :) Thank you so much! x

[@cristinafrancisco6773]

I’m ready for styling my spring wardrobe after seeing your wonderful video. Lots of inspiration and ideas on how to combine items. I love the idea of having classic pieces and styling them with something contrasting. The idea of a feminine white blouse ❤️and Sézane is my favourite - paired with khaki trousers is perfection.

[@DailyHelenJ]

Aw thank you Cristina :) Hope you have fun with some styling yourself x

[@nantipc]

Thank you for the video. I love the grana slip dress I got based on your review. I'm loving it so far. Can't wait to see how you style that so I can learn on how to style it. 😀

[@DailyHelenJ]

So glad you are loving it as well :) Super excited to share this video soon x

You have the dream wardrobe, you have such a great eye😍I would love to see that video of styling the slip dress!

[@DailyHelenJ]

Love seeing the same pieces restyled in your videos! Would you sharing what cameras you use to film? X

Thank you so much :) This entire video was filmed using the canon m50 x

[@jennafisher6115]

So many beautiful outfits! Can you tell me where your shorts are from (the pair you are wearing with the navy Chloe shirt from Sezane)? Thank you!

[@emmaphilo4049]

I love this Loewe bag🤩

[@DailyHelenJ]

Thank you Emma :) x

[@eileenahuva242]

I loved so many of the pieces you shared & also the way you styled them :) Awesome capsule! I clicked on the link you shared for the slip dress to purchase but XS in black was sold out :( When I navigated to the dresses section of the site however, there was also a slip dress there. It looks almost identical to the one you linked but only cost about $14 more & had more available sizes. Just wondering if you know the difference by any chance..?

[@DailyHelenJ]

The more affordable option is the older style. I now have one of each so can share my thoughts. The newer style is more flattering imo. It has a higher neckline (less wide as well) and I find this so much easier to wear as I don't have to think about what to wear underneath as much. The older style has a wider neckline so it can sometimes move around and be a bit frustrating. Just checked and I think it might be back in stock now :)

[@eileenahuva242]

@@DailyHelenJ thanks for sharing your thoughts on both options, it’s very helpful. I’m going ahead with the newer version! 🙏🤗

[@kristinliu3509]

Love your style! Can I ask, where did you get your gold-rimmed full-length mirror from? Thanks so much :)

[@DailyHelenJ]

Hi, It's from the Australian retailer Life Interiors, the brand is Middle of Nowhere .They also have similar ones at West Elm I believe :)

[@sybilkot8294]

Hi Helen, are you still wearing your Dôen pieces?

[@DailyHelenJ]

I do still wear some Doen pieces. I've not been a super big fan lately given some controversy around their ethics etc. So while I still have some pieces from them, I'm not super in love with them like I was. Thank you for watching :) x

[@jumplc]

Absolutely love your style:)

[@DailyHelenJ]

Thank you so so much! :) x

[@annygtsang]

I was wondering if the tan blazer from Sezane has shoulder pads? I tried to check the details list on Sezane but nothing was mentioned ☹️

[@DailyHelenJ]

Hi Anny, it has shoulder pads. It is quite a light padding so not too much or too structured. Hope this helps x

[@harnishbhatia8593]

Great video ❤️

[@DailyHelenJ]

Thank you Harnish :) x

[@tessa8973]

May I know your chest/bust measurement? I find that's the hardest for me to get correctly in terms of sizing. Thank you!

[@DailyHelenJ]

Thank you for watching :) x

[@alinapan3108]

I find the uniqlo U tees look a bit odd and wrinkly when tucked 😫

[@DailyHelenJ]

I think it completely depends on preference & style, thicker t-shirts usually don't tuck like the thinner options, but they are more durable. So it's a give and take situation :)

[@alaah4183]

Lumiere, You’re stylish and you seem nice.💕 Please don’t support Uniqlo because they force labor of the Uyghur people in china.❤️

[@DailyHelenJ]

Thank you for sharing this with me and thank you for watching as well! Would love to take some recommendations on more ethical alternatives you would like to see being shared xx

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Women who need a size larger than a US size 8 or Small can’t wear anything from Sezane. I’m a US 12, or Medium, so that brand’s out for me. That’s why I won’t even buy accessories from them, I don’t want to reward them for their size-exclusivity and snobbish elitism. The average American woman is size 16, so they are missing out on the world’s largest apparel market, American women’s clothing. It’s their loss, many other brands do have sizes for average to larger women.

[@DailyHelenJ]

It definitely is a shame and something I hope they consider for their future collections. However, I've noticed that they are doing a XXS and a XXXL in some of their popular pieces such as the Gaspard knit so I do think they are taking steps to be more accommodating. As someone who is on the petite side, I often find Australian brands (that I find locally) to run way too large for me (height/width), and it is nice for Sezane to fit me on the other end of the spectrum without too much tailoring.

[@rebeccamcelroy1000]

Hey, I'm roughly the same size as you I think (wear a UK size 14-16 which I think translates to US 10-12) and usually wear a Large in US brands like Everlane. I find Sezane EU size 42-44 depending on the piece fits me great. I think they go up to a UK 18 right now which I think is a US 16. Not that you'd necessarily want to try them even if it does fit, just thought I'd give you a heads up about what's worked for me! 😊
