SIZING
For reference, I am 160cm or 5'3. I wear an AU 6, XS. EU 34 and US 0 (I take one size down in US sizing). I am more pear shaped and often need to size up one size for pants for it to fit well at the hip. For jeans I am usually a W26.

So many times I've made bad purchases because I don't think about the piece as becoming part of my own wardrobe and how it will mix and match or complete outfits. Love this video as a reminder for 2023!

@DailyHelenJ Год назад

Such a good point, I feel like imagining exactly how we will wear and pair it with our existing pieces is so helpful :) xx

@oreol7810 Год назад

You look so good and elegant in that dark blue jumpsuit. I feel it is one of you best outfits. But I agree it is a hassle to wear it, especially when it is potty time 😂

@bellaluna9572 Год назад

I'm avoiding overly complicated clothing items. This is why I love jumpsuits tbh and want more of them. This means items that have overly detailed elements that take away from my face. I want to focus on silhouettes and textures and lean away from color, pattern, and detail.

@christinat8248 Год назад

I feel the same way about a lot of the pieces that you mentioned. I like how you broke down the Sezane blouse and why you won’t buy tops like that this year. I knew that top was a bit too much for me but didn’t really know why. You explained it perfectly- it has too many design elements going on at once and would be overwhelming on me. I loved this video, thanks!!

@DailyHelenJ Год назад

Thanks Christina :) The nerdy side of me just loves to break everything down haha. Glad you enjoyed this one xx

@kat_thefruitbat Год назад

Sharing your thought process when considering a new item/style serves as a really helpful example/reminder of things we should be asking ourselves! 👍👍 Love the idea you referenced about limiting a garment to 3 style elements; it definitely explains why certain pieces can look very “costumey”, overly trendy, or over-designed! 💡 Thank you for another amazing video! 🤗 Wishing you safe travels and wonderful experiences in Japan!! 😃❤️

@hijlaa Год назад

I agree about bomber jackets. I actually gave mine to my boyfriend. I know the fashion industry is telling us that a bomber is very versatile but I feel the opposite. It only really looks good with one or two types of outfits, but otherwise can look very out of place

@joywhitley3141 6 месяцев назад

I like that you show both sides of whether to purchase each item and you also give specific reasons why you won't be buying each item. Very concise and comprehensive. ❤

@rachellieberman Год назад

You definitely have a classic essence to your style! It's so interesting how each person is different and different things look so differently on each of us. If I wore your wardrobe. (which I love btw) I would look a little too stuffy because I'm not really a classic essence person. As a natural essence (and Kibbe body type) person, things like a nice fleece or jumpsuit look so chic and polished when worn with makeup. I love seeing people's different style and I've followed you for a long time.

@mii-chin143 Год назад

Very interesting hearing why something doesn't work for you, it makes me think a bit more about why I don't like certain trends or even items in my wardrobe. Eg I love jumpsuits and playsuits and dresses - a one and done deal outfit, no need to bother with mixing and matching, but at the same time I don't reach for them as often since I've also felt the looks to become a bit boring after a while, and during the summer layering isn't really an option.. Also, with the jackets I personally won't be getting one even if they're almost everywhere nowadays (ppl catch on to trends very quickly here!). Since I'm so short they feel too oversized for my frame - and not in a good way. It makes it looks like I'm wearing something a few sized to big rather than being chic and modern 😅

@psygeek961 Год назад

I think playing with jewelry, shoes, and hair styles have really been a way for me to play around more with dresses and jumpsuits! In summer, I like to play around wtih different silhoutte shirts/blouses that really can change the feel as well.

@DailyHelenJ Год назад

One thing I also noticed with playsuits/jumpsuits is that I HATE layering on them whether that's a belt/or jacket just because I have to take everything off again for the bathroom. So that's a MAJOR downside not being able to style them in as many ways. I always love hearing your thoughts - with the jackets I've found the same thing. I will say, while in Japan, I saw many styles of fleece and bomber jackets that did surprisingly suit a lot of more petite ladies. But unfortunately the styles I get here and online are just too much.

@chickenleg002 Год назад

Less than a minute in & I adore those green earrings on you! They REALLY suit you! Color palette for the win! Edit to add: Something I love about a bag with structure is that medium sized things seem to stay in place really well. An unstructured bag turns into a veritable trash bag for me. So I lean toward the one I won’t need to rummage in.

@DailyHelenJ Год назад

Thank you so much, they've been a very fun addition. And for the bag that is absolutely a pro for the structured style - I do find myself rummaging more through my bags.

@suzanschneider6163 Год назад

Great idea for a video. A reminder to thoughtfully shop based on all the things you’ve learned about your aesthetic, body type, comfort, etc.

@marinowy8998 Год назад

Hey Helen, maybe you could do a video with different home outfits/loungewear? I spend a lot of time at home in the winter so it gets kind of boring wearing the same wide legged pants and some random top. Really loved your video on these trends you won't be buying💓

@nl7247 11 месяцев назад

The fleece, if they are so oversized, wind comes in and not warm enough 😂. And the photos shown of the models wearing them... one rule I have when shopping online is, if it doesn’t look good or right on a model, it will look worse on me. ❤

@khelix23 Год назад

The jumpsuit looks really good on you. I will use an interesting colorful bag to make the outfit complete lol.

@triciaperinger2675 Год назад

I LOVED this video!! Your take on purses was SO unique. I never thought that I could have structure without a rectangle shape.

@DailyHelenJ Год назад

Thanks Tricia :) So so glad you enjoyed this one xx

@sussie9895 Год назад

So interesting with your observation that softer lines suit you better than harsh lines! We have a lot of similar physical characteristics so it’s something I’ll try observing. Love hearing your reasoning around bomber jackets (although I love them) and what role outerwear has in your wardrobe. And you got the Tibi book?! 😍

@ivaneteroark710 Год назад

I love your style, can you a house tour or how you store all your clothes and accessories

@lilithowl Год назад

Very interesting video. I agree about the jumpsuits - I will never buy one, no matter how good it looks, because I cannot bear the thought of all that kerfuffle everytime I need to go to the loo! I'll leave that to people who don't mind. I will ignore the fleece trend until they turn back into something that your dad wears in the garden. I also don't find that fleece keeps in very good condition, and it picks up a lot of stuff. I look completely ridiculous in those sharp shoulders too - I wish I could pull them off, but I just look like a pinhead.

@indecisiverain Год назад

I like the Uniqlo fleece jacket. It’s cozy & warm for my climate

@noronahahaha Год назад

I think the reason the jumpsuit doesn’t quite work is a) sleeves could be cut different and b) needs styling. Replacing the belt or tying a handkerchief to your neck would look nice!

@mountain85 Год назад

Couldn't agree more with long, big bomber jacket, jumpsuits and really structured bags. I have always hated jumpsuits...too much hassle when you need to go to the washroom ! And the structured bags are really inconvenient, for me at least...

@psygeek961 Год назад

I think jumpsuits can be beautiful statement pieces! That's how I wear them. I have two from COS that I wear constantly in summer that are among my fav, as I'm not a huge dress person (although I picked up a couple fun ones in the last year). And I mean this in all the positive ways, but I think your jumpsuit would fall more on the basic end - which are the ones I sold as I also don't find them much interesting.

@Felicia594 Год назад

I think she meant the hassle of having to use the restroom.

@psygeek961 Год назад

@@Felicia594 She says they look nice on, but they arent as special or wow to justify the hassle. And that shes i willing to tolerate a little hassle if its a special item. I interpreted that that the 'pros' dont 'outweight' the cons. I felt that for some of my jumpsuits, but not for others. Especially because some jumpsuits can have very interesting silhouttes that can have very different vibes based on shoes & hair.

@DailyHelenJ Год назад

Definitely can see how a more elevated style would make me love this piece more :) If mine was a little more unique in silhouette/proportions I think I would enjoy it more. Your COS ones sound like lovely staples xx

@natbud7987 Год назад

A lot of great insights :) Often, I find, I gravitate towards beautiful things which doesn't mean I have to own them. Funnily enough, after having been to a fine arts museum I don't feel like shopping as much.

@hb-t3096 Год назад

This is such a helpful video! Could I ask where your embroidered denim jacket is from please? It’s stunning

@karolinaspangenberg9425 4 месяца назад

I love the jumpsuit on you! but I understand your concerns ;)

@annedonker4795 Год назад

I used to love blazers but now i avoid them like the plague. i work from home mostly and live in northern california, very casual style is the norm here. I love sherpa style jackets but they cannot be too large or bulky looking. LLBean does one that is semi fitted and looks really great imo

@33Jenesis Год назад

I like to wear casual or girly outfits with one feminine detail. Lately it is using more polished and structured leather handbags.

@annw7843 Год назад

I’m glad you know what you like, and it’s fun hearing your reasoning. Also, this video is the first time I’ve ever heard cargo pants described as must wear with heels😂

@msjazzca Год назад

Cargo pants- yes!! Don't buy, unless it is really your style. And long denim skirt!!

@_inflection3209 Год назад

The fleece style jacket adds visual bulk so if you're already top heavy it'll only accentuate that.

@DailyHelenJ Год назад

True, especially since some of the styles I've seen recently are very bulky/oversized. Thanks for watching xx

@Mamaki1987 Год назад

I wonder, why jumpsuits and rompers are even a thing. Yes they might look good, but they are such a hassle to wear them. Going to the bathroom isn't exactly easy in them. If something isn't practical, I won't but it. Also if a dress, skirts, trousers or jackets don't have decent pockets.

@annabelleyee6199 Год назад

I learned so much from this video about your style and rationalizing purchases! thanks for sharing 😊😊😊

@DanielaNo Год назад

I’m avoiding the midi/maxi denim skirt I see everywhere at the moment, as a petite pear shaped woman I can’t imagine anything that is going to look worse on me

@kimberlyperrotis8962 Год назад

I don’t like fleece fabrics, either. I don’t like the look of them and they’re always made of synthetic fibers that aren’t breathable and are just too warm for my climate. I do have a black, super-lightweight, old fleece jacket that I wear when doing messy stuff at home, but I’d much rather wear a breathable cashmere or cotton cardigan sweater. I have any ivory fleece jacket with cognac fake-leather trim, but I just never choose it, it’s too specific, it really only looks good with with ivory or especially, cognac.

@user-gz4cu7te3f 6 месяцев назад

I love your clothing taste❤

@kittykittoon Год назад

Well-explained 'why nots'. Thank you.

@athag1 Год назад

Have a great time in Japan!

@user-xm1od9nb1m Год назад

Even though we heve pretty different styles I agree on almost all of these. I’m all for a casual look, but wearing a bomber jacket, cargo pants and fleece jacket (even though not together) make me feel like I try to dress like a teenager. It looks good on other people though

@42kleina Год назад

I loved this video, love to have your thoughts while shopping ❤️

@Onlymostly Год назад

My partner looks really good in the shaggy jacket look. It suits him way more than me. When he wears his shaggy jacket everyone compliments it, but when I wear it I don’t get the same reaction. Lol. He is very svelte with really slim legs so I think the bulk on top kind of balances him out where as on me who is pear shaped the shag makes me look more like I’m bundling up to go to bed than go out.

@annabelkus Год назад

Those green earrings look great on you :) Love!

@kathart5045 Год назад

I love your videos. So helpful! I’ve just discovered your channel. Thanks so much for the excellent content. 😊

@KatE-kt4vq Год назад

You look amazing with the jumpsuit 😍 , I really love them, its nice to have a one and done outfit, but going to the washroom is a challenge

@macyh3 Год назад

Please link the jacket from 0:55 I'm obsessed!!!

@emmanuelleh7218 Год назад

I love teddy bear coats for the texture they bring but I'm also banning myself from every buying one because I know how awful they wear out. I'm also trying to dress more put together and this style of jacket is definitely not going in the right direction

@estefaniaboujon6830 Год назад

What you mean about how awful they wear out?

@mansoor3159 Год назад

Hey! Helen you're looking too too too adorable and I really love your style so so so much you are my inspiration and I wish you reach 70K Subscribers very very soon!💫☺️💕

@legendaryriceball Год назад

I'm avoiding color in my wardrobe it just makes me uncomfortable when i wear color so I'll stick to black and grey lol

@mariusvonhagen Год назад

where did you get your blue jacket @ 1:30? it's gorgeous!

@kimberlyperrotis8962 Год назад

Sezane can be a bit too frou-frou for me. I prefer their less-detailed, simple items.

@jnada101 Год назад

can you tell me where you got the colorful art piece in the background? i love it so much xx

@DailyHelenJ Год назад

It's from Laura Thomas, an Australian Artist based in Melbourne :) She has her own site and also instagram where I follow her xx

@pervanemahmudlu Год назад

I totally agree with you 👍

@ej.94 Год назад

love all your ideas and style that is sooo unique 💗 I mean if I wear the pieces you have, probably I'd look like a 🤡 😂 still you rock with ur amazing aura 🥰

@jumplc Год назад

I agree about the fleece. I have it but I don’t even wear it :)

@NallelieVega Год назад

If you ever want to wear a bomber, just borrow your boyfriend’s jacket! BAM, no need to buy one.

@DailyHelenJ Год назад

Absolutely my plans haha :)

@amandaamanda5398 Год назад

I feel shearling and fleece pieces are often too cheesy, or too rugged, for my liking.

@hanaVV66 Год назад

Jumpsuit is such hassle especially when you need to go to restroom Hhahah

@trishnguyen8098 Год назад

Your recommendation is very bias and based on your lifestyle alone not general population.

@DailyHelenJ Год назад

Hey Trish, absolutely a personal list based on my lifestyle/also style preferences. Fleece for example doesn't feel practical for my climate, though could be an essential for another x
