The Science of Style - 5 Ways To Feel Happy In Your Clothes

[@youtimeful]

I've been watching you for a while so I feel I have been on your hair journey with you. This style is AMAZING! You have never looked prettier, more happy, more powerful, more you. When I had long hair, people would comment on my hair being pretty. With short hair, they complement me on being pretty.

Thank you so much!! You are right on with the compliments moving from the hair to the face.

I will say, it's never too late to take something you love to the tailor or seamstress! I've had things in school which never totally fit me, but it never occurred to me to have them altered. 20 years later, I did an alterations run, and they look as up-to-date as things that were bought yesterday.

So true!! I took a GANG of stuff to the tailor last week and it completely changed the look of those items. I had a maxi dress turned into short little above the knee number :)

Also, when you put on certain pieces of clothing, it tends to bring a smile on the faces of the people you encounter that day :) Which can make you happy in return.

Been loving your videos and yes I agree... clothes can definitely make you happy! I definitely know they can make you unhappy especially uncomfortable shoes. Your hair is great and I love your style. The black cropped tank over the leopard blouse is genius!

I LOVE these tips! What an incredibly helpful approach to refining one’s personal style. Each tip really resonated for me and will serve as useful guidelines when I’m getting dressed each morning. I think I might post a checklist with these 5 concepts next to my closet to keep me on track. Thanks, Lauren! You rock!

[@LaurenMessiah]

Oooh love the idea of adding those concepts to your closet!

I think equating hideous, sloppy clothing and athleisurewear with comfort is one of the major things that's limiting people in the style realm. It's very black and white thinking and I use to have it. I didn't realize you could be comfortable AND stylish, in fact, you're supposed to be comfortable.

I loveeeee your videos, so inspirational! :)) I have a question, what accsesories to wear with GLASSES? I feel that when I wear contacts (my sight is like a hedgehogs) I can wear any earrings, hats and so on..but with glasses I get insecure- does it clash, is it too much and so on. Because I wear glasses for my nearsightness I only have one pair (the glass is expensive). what frames do you find universal...? Would be really really REALLY helpful if you could make a video on this darling! Tons of love from europe :)

[@michelle7455]

I’m not Lauren but I do wear glasses. My glasses are black and I’ve never felt like they clashed with anything I’ve worn. Maybe you should get some black frames. Clear frames might be versatile as well.

[@criszimmermann2848]

You’re gorgeous and fashionable with that hair!

[@darlingdarjeeling699]

It is so much pleasier to watch one of your video when it's illustrated with pictures ! Sure it adds more work but it's way more better :)

[@ridita5221]

Short hair is looks good on you. In my view, black women has a different bone structure, so short hair suits them better.

[@Becca415fly]

I have a question. I love dresses and skirts but I find that I am so embarrassed about my pale white legs. I hate using self tanner. Any tips?

Sometimes when you do go to a dressmaker, they don't always do a perfect job. So frustrating!

[@mmmmmmolly]

i have a pile of clothes i need to get to the tailor but im scared they'll ruin them :( i just can't find a good tailor, i had a pair of flare jeans tailored to be skinny legged and they made them so tight it's a struggle to get them off my feet, then jeans i had the waist taken in and had to go 2 times because they didn't take in as much as i said to take in.
