I dont like buying into trends,when everyone is doing the same thing.😅 i wear what i have and love when i want, i dont care if its in style or not. I dont like to walk around looking almost 100% like everyone 😂

@AdelineLoke 5 месяцев назад

AGREED!! 😂 I definitely learnt my lesson, haha

@majas841 3 месяца назад

This screams sambas! I'm so glad I didn't buy them 😅

@KseniaTLV 5 месяцев назад

everyone wears blue jeans and a beige trench coat, but that doesn’t stop you from loving and wearing them and you love them! so wear sneakers!💪🏻 you will always be unique, even in clothes like others have because the finishing touch to the set is YOU and no one can repeat it

@holographictheory1501 4 месяца назад

I think the difference between the sneakers and the other trendy pieces you've been happy about before is likely that those trendy pieces represented a particular look of a piece (like a navy cropped jacket with no lapels), but it wasn't all the exact *same* item. Therefore you can buy a navy cropped jacket with no lapels but there'll still be enough variety in structure, color, material, buttons, pattern, etc that you'll still feel like you're not wearing the exact same thing as everyone else and you're wearing the version that best appealed to you.

Hi Adeline, Love the style and content of your channel! I would love to know more about your gel nail process. Maybe a good idea for a new video!lol

@vivcatmickymaus4482 3 месяца назад

I know the problem you have with the grey loafers. I had the same problem with a cardigan. When I bought it, I thought it was white and will work very easy with my wardrobe, but when I tried styling it, I remarked that it was not white, not offwhite, not creme. It had a weird undertone like a bit rose, but was not a real rose. I struggled some years with this cardigan and than I sold it. What I learned from this, is that if something like this will happen to me again, then I will sell the piece immediatly to get it out of my head

@Artzenflowers 5 месяцев назад

@Adeline, first May I say you are quickly becoming a fav channel, I so enjoy your calm direct manner as well as your fashion sensibility. Next two things; 1. Your sambas. I feel like if you could come up with your own “signature” styling with them rather than what everyone else is doing, you’d be happy. 2. The gray loafers. It’s hard to really know color virtually but my sense is that they would look really great with browns and the dark merlo red pieces you’ve been leaning toward. I hope that inspires you as you do me! Happy new year 2024!

@AdelineLoke 4 месяца назад

Thank you so much for your suggestions. 😚

@jeanettecefre8552 5 месяцев назад

Regarding the Adidas…it’s less trendy here in France, at least in my area. While it’s popular, what sets them apart is our individual style. I look at it from an entire outfit view instead of individual pieces. Love your channel. It’s one of my reference for minimal and quality style.

@AdelineLoke 5 месяцев назад

That's very true. Not the piece but how you style it! thank you xx

New subscriber here - I love your calm demeanor and your approach to fashion! Where would you recommend belts for petite ladies? I always have trouble finding ones that aren't too long and are good for cinching the waist.

@AdelineLoke 5 месяцев назад

Buy a belt hole puncher on Amazon!! 😊

@tseyang8355 5 месяцев назад

That grey loafers might work with similar tone outfits looks if you do. I think if you have a coat that is similar colour tone may work or even a scarf. It may work with the outfit you are wearing. Thank you for making lovey content. I found my favourite barrel jeans from cos few months back because of your video. That’s my favourite jeans as well. Gap has this very nice shape of barrel jeans. Perfect for petite. I hope they still carry I found that before Covid, it’s bit cropped but lovely shape. It comes with small ripped on the knees and with no rips at all. I hope they still sell those. And Totem has a nice and clean shape in different colours. Hope this is useful and thank you.

I love most of your peaces (I'm not petite, I'm 5"8), however, love cropped knitwear, loafers, tote bags (I need it because job). Also, and I'm one of "fashion influencing" with Samba, but I love them! Mine are in black color and feet so well with my other clothes.

You and I and so many others….. hilarious DYE the shoes they are fabulous just not a comfortable colour…. I was contemplating today - could I dye a cashmere coat….. really pushing the bar there….have decided probably NOT. Hey, could you look into The Curated Coats, I so want one,but in Canada it is almost impossible…. Thanks Georgia

@InFitnessInHealth 5 месяцев назад

I've made the same mistake as you with your "greige" loafers but with rust jeans/pants. Rust is technically in my color season and it's a beautiful shade, but it is so hard to style and feel myself when such a bold color takes so much visual space in my outfits. No more red bottoms for me!

@mamis843 5 месяцев назад

Same happened to me, I gave them away in the end

@romanee55 5 месяцев назад

omg I was THIS close to getting the sambas but heard they are quite narrow and can be uncomfortable :( anyways, love the best purchases, and happy new year!

@AdelineLoke 5 месяцев назад

It really depends on your feet! I don’t find them to be uncomfortable, but they are very flat (and not much cushioning on the sole) which doesn’t agree with some people. x

@ashleyjohnson3663 5 месяцев назад

A quick word about at-home gel nail machines: be sure to give your nails a break between manicures. I got totally carried away when I got one-it was easy, fun, and cheap to have fabulous nails-that I totally destroyed my nail beds and have had to take the last year off all polish. Don’t forget to take breaks!

@jodycoyote3916 3 месяца назад

The samba's. I completely agree. I have not gotten them because they are so satuarated. You want to be unique instead of one in a crowd. When I see someone with them I just think, oh yeh they grabbed something someone else is using. However, they are beuatiful

I love WNU as well! The quality is top notch and justifies the investment. I have been eyeing the brown shirt, but I'm worried the brown might be too warm for my skin tone (cool undertones). In person would you say the brown is more warm, neutral, or cool?

@AdelineLoke 3 месяца назад

Sorry it took me so long to reply, I was on holiday and away from my wardrobe. I would say it’s more on the warmer side x

@lizpayne2254 5 месяцев назад

For the grey shoes, I agree - not a huge fan of the color. Could you do an all-black outfit and then have the shoes be the "pop of color"? Also, your cap needs to be the Boston Red Sox not the NY Yankees!! ;)

@sarahogue 5 месяцев назад

Not trying to be sassy but….how is a NY Yankees ballcap special to you? I’m guessing that you like the logo…. I see that hat as the same kind of thing as the sambas. I grew up wearing them so for me they are just a normal shoe. Wearing a team logo is the same thing. People aren’t Yankees fans, they are influenced by social media to want that hat.

@AdelineLoke 5 месяцев назад

Completely valid question! I don’t normally wear hats and so any hat that I purchased and wore lots would have been special, as it’s an unusual accessory (for me). Also, did it have to be NY Yankees? Also no. I was mostly drawn to the fact that it was tweed, and I fell in love with it. But I totally see where you are coming from too.

I'm sorry but I am so concious of the camel toe of your jeans in this video...is that tolerable? I have a Toteme jeans that makes that V shape and I feel so concious about it so I rarely wear the jeans, which is a shame. I always thought that camel toe/V shape meant that the jeans or pants are too tight.

Geez cut yourself some slack. It's just a pair of sneakers. Don't need to be so dramatic. Not every purchase has to be life affirming. Needed to click off at that point.
