Don't sell it. The dress it's beautiful. But I do agree, you need to taylor it, but I would do it in a different way. It would look so nice if you made the dress shorter, that way it would show more skin as well and balanced the look

@@svetlanadreher7190 I have to admit I don’t closely follow what’s in her wardrobe! But I do think she’s updated her style in the last few years, and there’s nothing wrong with them. If you love fashion, there’s a careful balance between intentionally updating your wardrobe vs over consuming. I have no idea where Christina really is on that spectrum since it’s her money to spend But I do think compared to other creators who talk slow fashion then do ‘hauls’ or ‘how to update your wardrobe for ___’ or push lots of affiliate links, she’s trying to be more mindful
@svetlanadreher7190Ай бұрын
@@msleeeee sure, it’s ok, I just think she buys quite a lot for a slow fashion too. I don’t follow many content creators so I don’t know who you are referring to who buys more and does hauls etc. She doesn’t market it as hauls but then she can have a ‘styling’ video featuring a bunch of new KOTTN items (or whatever the brand is). So to me it’s tomato/to-mah-to. But she’s fun to watch and she needs to make money. I just don’t consider it not many for a slow fashion creator, just not many in terms of fashion in general.

Great video topic! My new mantra is going to be, "if I own it, I'm wearing it." If I'm honest I'm reaching past pieces often - not because they're bad or don't work - but out of a sort of mental laziness. I like other pieces better and I've already done the work of figuring out how to style them with what I own. The pieces I bought mainly because I wanted to have them - well once I got the conquests home they have tended to sit on the shelf or hanger for me to admire, but rarely to wear. No more. Thanks for the inspiration and kick in the butt Christina!

The jeans trends come and go-skinnies, cargo, barrel leg, wide leg, boot cut-but Levi’s 501s and similar are classic and are always cool. Put them in a trunk for now and pull them out when you’re feeling the vibe for them again vs selling them and then hunting for them and spending money on them all over again!!
