Lovely to see Apollo awake and pottering around rather than as a sleeping kitty loaf!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

haha yes! He felt like participating this time xx

[@joywhitley3141]

Lol! When you said you lost your belt to old age...I immediately thought you couldn’t find it. Maybe because I’m 70 so that would be the case with me. ❤️ Thanks for your great content!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

lol thank you for watching Joy!

Alyssa: I'm so excited because I have some new additions to my closet. Apollo: Jumps up into the closet - I'm the best addition of them all! All of us: Yes, you are! Hands down! 😃🤣🤣🤣 Ciao Alyssa! Wonderful video and pieces. Loved the red sweater on you in all its combinations. You were beaming when you were styling it. It really suits you so well. And loved how you styled it with the vintage scarf. Your videos are always great, but a sprinkle of your dancing and a cameo by Apollo take them to another level! 🥰😃🙏💖Big hugs, Natalya

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you Natalya haha you are so right - Apollo is always the best part! Thank you so much for watching and have a great week! xx

[@ozywomandius2290]

That slip skirt is a butterscotch sundae in clothing form, so that’s my favorite. I’m loving following the evolution of your style! ☺️

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

oh my gosh i love your description!

[@cltinturkey]

Hooray for the red sweater and cognac/bronze skirt. So flattering and beautiful with your coloring. I think they'll both be heroes in your curated wardrobe.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you! I think so too! xx

[@sallygator22]

Thank you for "preaching" the second-hand, sustainable message. Your beautiful, carefully curated pieces show we don't have to spend a lot of money to look great. Regarding my favorite of your purchases, I like them all. But if I had to choose one, I'd have to say those Banana Republic jeans look like they were tailor-made for you.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

it really is such a great way to shop - easy on the wallet and so much better for the planet! Thank you for watching i love those jeans too! xx

[@happywarrior8277]

ThredUP Yes! They're great. I've been missing fashion videos last few weeks - lost in the wonderful world of online consignment. When something over 10 yrs old looks better than the latest in retail - we may all be thrifting soon!

[@lose999]

Everything fits your slim body so well. It must be so fun to play with fashion. Those jeans are perfection.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you for watching Lori and for the kind comment! xx

[@raquy78]

Those wide leg jeans and red sweater are a great addition to your wardrobe, but the custom red plaid skirt is wonderful.

[@ErinCRN]

I’m digging the French girl vibe lately. Pops of red. I’ve been wearing red lipstick lately for the first time in my 47 years. Love your red sweater and scarf. The jeans are perfect!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

thank you I am really leaning into it! Have fun with the red lippie look!

[@Marta268]

The red sweater and the French-style scarf play together so well!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

i thought s too Marta! xx

[@jayjaytailor]

That Club Monaco skirt is truly scrumptious! As for the red sweater....💕💕

[@marilyndoering2501]

Wow, you did fantastic with these new pieces for your wardrobe! Everything looks great on you, they really suit your style and body and you’ll have lots of fun wearing these items. I’m so happy to see you embrace red! It’s my favourite way to pop some colour into my otherwise pretty basic wardrobe. And red is always a crowd pleaser! Enjoy wearing them and thanks for sharing and styling them for us!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

thank you! It took me so long to realize it's a colour I can wear! haha

[@nicolehood6408]

I recently ventured into the red sweater territory, as well. With my work life happening on zoom for over a year, now, I got a compliment when I wore a red dress over the summer. And, I realized red is a color I've liked for my whole life. So, I looked for awhile for a red wool sweater, and found one I liked in my price range from Poshmark (it was barely used Anne Klein), and it's also Merino wool. The boatneck has been a bit of a challenge for layering (a must for me in the cooler months), but I finally found a red T-shirt with a wide enough scoop neck to wear under it. Now, that red color will take me into warmer weather with the T-shirt, too!

[@anneliesebeneze2471]

Thanks Alyssa for such great advice. Because of you I have become a more mindful shopper and been more mindful of what I get rid of.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

I'm so glad the channel is helpful Anneliese! xx

[@athag1]

Loved Apollo making himself comfortable in the closet!

[@Christinamychas]

Yay for secondhand goodies!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

yay! Thanks for watching girl xx

[@77Crazycat77]

Who would be crazy enough to declutter those incredible “french inspired” jeans???? Nice find Alyssa!!

[@deniseroberts571]

You styled everything brilliantly!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you Denise! xx

[@mistress.villaina7591]

i got a ton of items from thredup 6 years ago and many items are still staples. i stopped because i didn't know my style and got a lot of pieces that i wouldn't wear or know how to use. i mostly shop used in-person although, your finds are tempting me back there. my favorites are the denim and the skirt! also love the red on you!

[@andreamorgan3573]

Morning Alyssa, All the looks where great - I love red so the red outfits were my favourite but all looks are wonderful - I just started another Pinterest board for “things I already have in my closet” for those days where nothing appeals - but I mostly approach my day as “what do I want to wear today” instead of “I have nothing to wear” - Cheers!

[@jennifer-threedogsinagarde8265]

Jean and red sweater with the scarf for the win.

[@nomvulavmoloko6255]

Hi Alyssa - I immensely enjoyed the cognag silk slip skirt and the striped skirt. Thank you for the energy and meticulous attention to detail you always input into your video. Love from South Africa

[@jimandjudyc48]

Every outfit was a total "win." Love the new light wash relaxed jeans and the red sweater. So versatile and yet so stand-out lovely. Your choices were clearly inspired by your Pinterest board.

[@tulpenballerina]

I´ve found, this looks were so YOU, Alyssa! They really suited you so so much. I enjoyed watching this.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you Elisabeth I am slowly figuring out what is best! xx

[@allieshepherd1144]

Love all your purchases! ❤️ thank you beautiful lady for being such an inspiration!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

yay! thank you for the kind comment Allie! xx

[@malzmhaskar2678]

Loved them all.... but the Red & blue wide legged denims combination was wonderful

[@ritaweltevreden5596]

Hi Alyssa, my favourites are the slip skirt, the brown belt and the red top! Excellent! Lovely outfits.

[@cherisekent1243]

Thanks for this video and all your videos. Was happy to hear the reference to Eileen Fisher. I’ve been shopping her clothing for years b/c of her commitment to circular fashion, natural fibers, and SC ethics. While I get her minimalistic vibe/silhouette is not for everyone- she does produce pieces that are timeless (blouses, tees, trenches, cardigans, slip dresses, etc). And while her brand is pricey- the pieces are affordable on EF Renew, Thredup, Poshmark, etc. I always wonder why folks promoting circular fashion don’t recognize her and the company efforts more often. With the exception of a very young vlogger also based in Canada- but I forget her name right now (😩 senior moment). She dedicated one entire episode to EF. I also recommend folks take a look at the Good on You app- helps sort through company sustainability claims when you are considering buying brand new. Once again, I’m a fan and love your content. 💕

[@shimmybottom]

LOVE the red sweater that you paired with the plaid skirt, classy without being snooty. My daughter is raising her daughters to thrift first, like she and I do. It's amazing.😍💖

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you! How amazing! xx

[@maryfacchini9554]

You are brilliant! I won't buy anything until I review your videos! You help keep me focused! Thank you!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

ah thank you so much for the kind words Mary!

[@fruitsandspiceschannel2235]

I could only agree with you about buying second hand (thrifting) since I move to Rome in 2012, I only thrifted my clothes,shoes and handbags and it feels so good for my soul and for my wallet situation, yes I did made a mistake on my first year of thrifting, I got my self into impulsive thrifter ... but quickly I change my mind set ..only thrift when you really need it.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Me too when I first discovered thrifting. It is easy as everything is so affordable but I agree that its best to shop when you only really need it. You end up with items that you really love and will wear often! xx

[@frangomez2066]

The luscious silk skirt! But you style everything so well! Thanks for sharing the discount code!

[@dominiquetheeasyminimalist]

WoW Alyssa, amaaaazing finds! I love every single piece and outfit. For over 30 years, I always had a red piece in my wardrobe, wether a jacket, a sweater, or shoes. It just brings a umph!

[@susant1527]

Love how you combine your outfits. Very classy and chic! Enjoy watching especially during these times. Love the red sweater and scarf great combo :)

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you so much for watching! xx

[@lululopez879]

First impression..........loved Apollo’s spontaneity to catch the spotlight!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣..........loved the jeans, red sweater and satin skirt, but loved more how you style them, great inspiration looks. You are a joy to watch and learn from, keep up the good job you do!

[@irenejohnson9614]

I adore ThredUp! I have such a beautiful wardrobe since I found ThredUp about six years ago when I retired. Best of all, my wardrobe budget has been enhanced by selling a few pieces each year via ThredUp. So glad to see you advocate the site.

[@karatechick306]

Love how you styled the scarf at 11 min! Also the watch over the shirt sleeve is so cool, a la that Italian auto maker.

[@deniseoates7147]

Glad you finally added wide leg jeans to your wardrobe and to thrift them is a plus. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

YES! Me too! thank you for watching!

[@mariaschultz5480]

OMG! I watched a video you posted a while ago about thread up with your mom and since then I got hooked! They are great! Thanks for sharing your talent, my favorite content is shop your closet. Keep them coming!

[@kathyesargent9088]

Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kathyffarney-keck8593]

I couldn't choose a favorite. They were all amazing.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you Kathy!

[@katieoak2082]

The jeans with the basque! Wow!

[@lindacaffalette8927]

Loved the new editions you've shown us today! Enjoy them, thanks! 💟💜💟

[@tanyaeve9498]

I'm also feeling the love for red. I love all your finds. I really like the jumper, jeans and silk scarf, it's a look I wear this time of year, too.

[@helenrodriguez6166]

I loved all the pieces you choose. I love and preach 2nd hand first. Great message you're sending.

[@ej2632]

Loved this video. Also, thank you for being transparent about being sponsored and marking your video with "AD"

[@carolynsanner8253]

Love how you wore that scarf with the red sweater - styling with flair! Favorites: bronze skirt & white shirt; black bustier w/wide leg jeans; red sweater w/plaid skirt. With your coloring, I think red is a basic color for your wardrobe. What terrific bargains you found, as well they'll be wonderful additions to your wardrobe. Thanks for another great video!

[@MelissaKuzma]

I have not had good luck with ThredUp my first time around, but you’ve convinced me to try it again. Love the Club Monaco silk skirt looks!

[@Turtles352]

I have a love for red in many shades. The sweater was wonderful!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

So fun! Thank you for watching! xx

[@Nini51963]

Most my wardrobe is from there I think it’s been 5 years since I’ve purchased new . I’m not a minimalist tho . I love clothing and treasure my pieces I buy for forever . If they are no longer in style I save them rather than tossing because they will be back . I have space so I keep them . If I don’t want anymore I return back to thread up if they can they resell and I get discounts toward purchases or they dispose in the most sustainable way .

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Yes that is a great way to do it Chanel! xx

[@7148euvelleb]

Alyssa I have learned so much from you . I love being creative and putting outfits together from my existing closet. You inspire me ! My favorite outfit was the cotton striped? Skirt with bulky sweater tucked in.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

glad you liked it thank you for watching! xx

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

Favorite: that skirt! 🙂🤪🙂 Runner up: red sweater. They’re all great finds. In my next life, I want to be tall. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@catherineosborn7114]

I love all of your new pieces Alyssa!! And you styled each beautifully!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you Catherine! xx

[@kirrisolly-slade1313]

Love that first outfit with the black bustier!

[@cindymusselman5084]

Love the red top with the red plaid skirt! They are all gorgeous!

[@vivettegarciadeister2751]

Navy and brown/gold is one of my favorite combinations!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

me too!

[@zanpackard1423]

Love every outfit. The jeans are perfect! As is the skirt......and well, everything. I too have gotten some real finds on thredup, and browse consistently. Great job Alyssa!

[@Michelle-bk5uq]

Love the red sweater with the red plaid skirt. The color really suits you!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you so much for the kind comment and for watching! xx

[@leonafraser3797]

Hi Alyssa. I love the new items in your wardrobe. I especially love the first look and, the red sweater absolutely compliments your skin tone!

[@trishecoole8421]

Love the red! Love the wide leg jeans! love everything - really showing the real you.

[@mariaweihert8667]

Lots of good choices. I do think red is a good addition to your closet. I like the jeans the best though.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you Maria, I think so too! xx

[@Lisa-kz7vw]

I love wide leg jeans and pants prefer it over tapered or skinny leg and many shapes look good in them you styled them well great looks.

[@fredalearhinan6693]

The wide leg jeans you say 90s vibe BUT I was wearing them in the late 60s early 70s... also I have picture of myself at the races in the plaid skirt and red jumper from the late 60s classic styles always make a comeback .. they look so good xxx

[@valeriehowden471]

Love all however gotta go with the red sweater as it's one of my fave colours too. Cannot get over Apollo' s size. He's a beautiful cat.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

haha he's a big guy! Thanks for watching Valerie!

[@barbararupert4774]

U wear them ALL so well!!!

[@bonniemasterjohn5440]

Loved the last look, the red sweater and the plaid skirt. Beautiful!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you Bonnie!

[@vivianepersimmon]

Gorgeous, gorgeous cognac slip skirt. I loved it paired with the navy on top! Great color juxtaposition.

[@maryegerton6848]

Don’t you just love freshly thrifted clothes? I love everything you picked up. Very nice. I really love the jeans with the bustier. My fave. Just a couple of weeks before the lockdown here in Ontario, I went to good old value village and got myself a down filled winter coat for next year for sixteen dollars. It was in fantastic shape except for one tiny hole on the seam under the arm. I brought it home, washed it according to the tag instructions and sewed it on my machine. You can’t even tell there was a tear. I have no idea what that coat is worth, but perhaps I will do a google search. Thanks for this great video. Peace and love. ☮️💕

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Amazing find! Thank you for watching! xx

[@77Crazycat77]

THOSE JEANS ARE AMAZING!!!!❤

[@lindascull6327]

Oh my gosh I'm so excited for you- what awesome finds!!!!! I love them all!!!! At first I thought the white tied up shirt with the slip skirt was my fav.. but I changed it to the chunky sweater half-tucked into the striped skirt... honestly everything fit like a glove and you just have FABULOUS taste and style!!! XXOO

[@janeodonoghue2255]

You killed it Alyssa!! Love all the new additions.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Finally got to see this video! Love ThredUp. You're right that they are so very easy to use.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

yay! Glad you're already a fan! xx

[@seriouslyinsanediva]

The Banana Republic jeans in that boho look are awesome. We wear he same colors more or less. I've accented with red most of my life. I remember when you said you would shorten that plaid skirt which was a total success, wow! with that red sweater, it's a score. I own a plaid skirt almost identical to yours, although it's a knee length for me. I need hat red sweater! Great looks, Alyssa.

[@dlsolof]

Apollo grooming himself in the closet 😂 And yes, I agree that thredUP is great for finding those dream pieces affordably priced. A few months ago my goody box arrived with a hunter green, suede blouse. It was like my high school fantasy showed up 😍

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

oooh how lovely! So glad you're already a fan!

[@mercedesflorentino8167]

What a great idea of creating your pinterest board for 2021👍

[@richeleferrara4038]

The jeans. Want them!

[@sablisland]

I LOVE the cropped plaid skirt, I recognized it from its long form and I think the mini suits you!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

yay! Thank you! I'm glad you like the alteration!

[@Keapix]

The slip skirt 😍 That’s gorgeous! I wish we had a UK version of ThredUP... it sounds great. I’ve been building up my 2021 Pinterest board over the last week or so - thanks for the tip - and I’m looking forward to the editing stage.

[@norawotton5440]

I really love the belt and the skirt.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

yay! Mine too!

[@mrmotormo]

Well, since I ran over to Thred Up and bought a pair of high rise wide leg jeans, I guess it was the jeans I liked best. Will definitely try the scarf trick, so elegant. I like vintage style, but I love your videos and approach to personal style. Your enthusiasm is clearly infectious!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

oooh haha i hope you enjoy them! I will likely do a styling video on them soon! :) thank you for the kind words!

[@amyhoover9]

ThredUP is one of my favorite websites to shop at! I think the color red works great as a statement piece, but I personally love it more in a handbag than I do in a shirt or sweater. I own two handbags in that color, and each one is different in structure and proportion. Great video as always, Alyssa!
