MY STYLE EVOLUTION | minimalist fashion journey + finding personal style 

This is refreshing compared to some similar channels where money is no object. I'm always trying to find that intersection between sustainability, experimentation, frugality, and the belief that I deserve quality things. I would love to have a similar wardrobe and maybe I can.

I think your style is young and fresh but also on trend and classic. I think you've nailed it!

I really relate to this. My parents always had low paying jobs, I would say we were low middle class. We weren't poor but all my clothes were hand me downs from friends and cousins and that made finding my style so hard in my pre-teens and teens. Just like you I tried to "compensate for lost time" and buy a lot of things that were trendy but not for me when I eventually had a little bit of money. Then comes the luxury phase where you think more money means better. Now I'm more into a minimalist capsule wardrobe and I'm still realising what I like by trial and error but I'm less likely to jump on trends. Love this video!

I really appreciate how much you’ve reflected on the hardships you faced in parallel to your personal style - I feel like it’s a huge part that gets missed in personal style videos 💚

I LOVED this so much. Absolutely my fav video from you...ever. I loved seeing your evolution as a human, even more so than your style evolution. Thanks for sharing this, Annie ✨ I think a lot of young women in their twenties will be able to relate to your journey--I know I do!

I love this! And agree, so much of style is iterative and dependent on access. The journey is fun to see! I wish more people would share.

You’re not boring. I think you’re very classy. I love your style😊

your story is the definition of why we shouldn’t judge people on youtube. thank you for this

Thank you for this incredibly relatable look into your style (and your life)! Your story is so relatable. For one, I also felt like I had "catching up to do" when I first had an income to spend. Would love to hear yours and Morgan's story from the beginning and how you two keep the spark alive after getting married at such a young age.

This video is so refreshing compared to what you see on YT these days! Absolutely love!! I especially agreed with your statement that yes clothing is important but it doesn’t (shouldn’t) trump other things. ❤ Keep doing what you are doing. 🫶🏼

I loved this content where you gave us a breakdown of your life mixed with fashion! Brilliant!

money is definitely a huge barrier when it comes to find our style; it's 10x harder when we don't have it even for thrifting. It's was so good to see your evolution. Your honesty made it so much more relatable. Thank you for this

It’s difficult, in many ways, to reflect on- and open up about certain parts of our pasts; thank you for sharing some of your life with the intention of helping others feel understood and see more clearly into their own lives. You rock, and I always look forward to your videos! ❤️🤗

You are a gift to us all! Thank you for your honesty, sharing your struggles and finding your confidence and happy place within yourself. Cheers to you as you move forward each day! Your horizon is beautiful ahead!!🌟🌟🌟

The storytelling in this 👏🏽 loved the early hustle and going with the curveballs that life threw you. So inspiring

To me you dress the best out of all the people I know, but i think its also about your personality and natural elegance. I think whatever you put on you will always look great!🤩😍

They say personal style is how you express yourself or, barring that, is at least a reflection of oneself. Not sure I've ever seen a video that demonstrates this better. Such a creative way to help your viewers get to know you -- how your life dreams and circumstances have evolved and how that was reflected in your style. I was excited for this video and then completely blown away by what we got. Annie is on fire with her content rn.

I love the stories you told to illustrate the growth of your fashion sense. It makes me feel so hopeful about the future and gives me some assurance that I’m doing just fine in life at the same time. Often times I feel this pressure to wear authentic and expensive clothing even when I don’t have the financial abilities for it. Thank you for this video. It definitely inspired me to do something similar 💗

Great video! This was an amazing idea to reflect on our own style evolution. Money has always dictated how I shopped. Looking back I wish I had shopped less and saved even more.

I am new to your channel and I loved hearing about your personal journey. I really enjoyed hearing about your life and how you got to where you are today. Thank you for sharing your really inspiring story.

Thank you for sharing this!! This is so relatable and inspiring at the same time!💗 I'm 23 y/o right now, just got out of uni, started working full-time for a few months, and found my fashion journey very similar to yours in the same period. Currently, I'm trying to save more /shop wisely to invest more in good quality outfits and accessories to elevate my style. Although budgeting is a challenging major problem for me, just like what you shared, gradually mixing and matching to develop my dream style has been helpful. Watching your fashion journey along with career transformation has given me hope and inspiration for my own, thanks for sharing~!

Yet another completely relatable video. Our journeys were so similar growing up wearing hand me downs and harry potter glasses. I also remember thinking i made so much money at my first big girl job, and purchasing my first designer bag -- Prada was my pick (and I still have it) 😅 With so many expenses that come with adulthood, I now understand how hard it is to make money living in a country/city where taxes and living expenses are so high.

Thank you for your honesty about your style evolution !

This was so refreshing. Thank you so much for sharing. You have a beautiful family. I am in the process of updating my wardrobe and your videos have been very helpful. Again, thank you.

This was wonderful! Thanks for sharing all of that. I could see myself in your story.

Thank you for making this. So refreshing, so true. Fun to see how you got to now!

Can I just shout out how captivating this vid was to me? My motto: It is not about the status of the shop, is about the quality of the label. I still adore The linen, cotton buttom downs, straight jeans from HM, premium selection cashmeres are divine. &Stories and COS are very premium to me, I adore most of the pieces they release when polyester is out of the label and 100% love everything Made of wool/cotton cardigans I own!

This video showed up on my “suggested” feed after looking for minimal wardrobes. I loved this video and immediately subscribed. I’m over a decade older than you, I might be a bit older than your normal demographic. But I related to this so much…and also, this quest for style never ends. Preferences change, styles change, bodies change…it’s a never-ending evolution…and when I realized that, I finally had more grace for myself. I’ve never totally gotten it right, which is maddening to me because I’ve always admired women with beautiful style. And I do try. As your video demonstrates, It’s not ALWAYS about price. However, better quality clothes typically DO cost more and that IS cost prohibitive for many. One tip that finally helped me level up was “wear your good clothes all the time. Even just to hang with loved ones. Even to run mundane errands. If not, they will wear out on the hangers/in drawers, lose shape, or you will outgrow them in size or style without ever enjoying them…and that’s a waste.” This was so hard for me because as a child, I wasn’t allowed to wear my favorites or good clothes because what if I ruined them playing? My parents didn’t have money either. I carried that limiting belief well into my 30s. I look forward to binging your content. Thanks for sharing. 😊

Q&A questions: 1.When did you meet eachothers families and what was that like?. 2. How did morgan feel when you found out about pregnancy.? I loved this video. It makes me want to look back at my evolution, I know I have a few "wtf was I wearing?"pictures 🤣

Good morning Girl!! 💕Such a nice and vulnerable vid. I enjoy your style & aesthetic! Mix &matching, I do the same!👍😍You are so amazing and humble. Yes would like to know more about you, who you are, from, how you both met. You have a beautiful family😁🥰Happy I found your channel 😁

thank you for sharing your journey on your style evolution! As a poor college student, I feel pretty insecure about the clothes that I wear. I look at my closet and wish I had quality basics and pieces that I love. This is a great reminder that it takes time to curate a wardrobe, esp with a budget!

Loved everything! Your style is amazing. Keep up the good work! Sending lots of love 💕

THANK YOU for sharing your story with us. I love your style. This conversation was so deep and beautiful. I felt so inspired - I'm definitely at the stage where I'm struggling (job-hunting) but to see how you overcame it all with such grace. Thank you.

Really enjoyed this as we got to see and understand your evolvement and more understanding f your personal journey. 💯👍

Sharing the story behind the style evolution is what gives really unique imprint to the video 💫 😊 Q&A questions: This one is for you: do you have Instagram or do you plan opening one for channel-related topics etc.? And this one for both: what have you studied at college/uni and do you work in the same or related area today? 😊

This might be your best video yet! Loved it.

Wow this video gives me so much hope! Growing up in an immigrant family, I totally relate with having clothes that are hand me downs and the only way I was able to choose my own clothing was to get my own job. I feel like I'm in that stage where I just started my career and I'm trying to elevate my closet and refine my style. Q&A questions: - Fashion related: any tips on how you can tell whether a piece of clothing is good quality even when shopping at stores like Forever 21? - Relationship related: how was it like to elope? How did your family react when they found out?

This video was great! I just found your channel while searching for videos of decluttering and wow, subscribed right away + on a slighttt video binge 😂 Love your style, how you communicate, and just how thoughtful you are in your vids.

Thank you, Annie for this excellent, well thought out video! I really appreciated learning about your style evolution. All of your videos are incredibly well done. Your wardrobe videos are so helpful in my goal toward creating a functional capsule wardrobe. Some questions for the Q&A: Where did you and Morgan meet? What was your major in the university? What materials for clothing do you consider good quality and long lasting? Besides Aritzia, what is your favorite store? What's your favorite thing about NYC? What are your favorite things to do in the city when you aren't working? What books do you like to read? Do you have a favorite author? Have a beautiful Sunday!🤎

Such a lovely video 💕 can't wait for the Q&A x

I've been a subscriber for some time now and wanted to say that I love your content! Thank you for sharing your style evolution and bits from your past :)

Thank you for sharing your story with us! I love your style and personality! I would love to learn more about how you balance a (new) job and family.

this is such a fun video idea!! i might try it

Really loved the content of this video! Love that you are sharing your style AND life evolution :)

I just found your channel last week. This video was fun and I was able to get to know you a little better. Thanks for sharing 💕

Hi Annie! Question for you and Morgan. You mentioning secrelty eloping months before getting engaged. What made you guys decide to elope and how was it telling your family and friends that + that you were pregnant? Thanks for being open to sharing a bit more about yourself!:)

That was great, I can relate to the journey from no choice in my clothes to splurging when I was able to, to a much more pared back happy place now. I never thought of it in that way before. Thank you

Just recently subscribed and so happy to have come across your channel! You have a beautiful family, and I appreciate your authenticity and truth. This was so refreshing to watch, especially because I often find that the discussion of money and its direct impacts on accessibility - even in minimalist and sustainable fashion - and what that looks like and means for Black, Indigenous and racialized folks gets overlooked, thank you and wishing you continued growth and prosperity :)

Also, I LOVE that photograph of you and Mila in DUMBO. You such a happy energy -- young mom chasing her dreams.

Wow i truly enjoyed watching your style evolution. As you mentioned the years, i was trying to think back where/what i was doing and what i was wearing/buying. Thank you for the insight

Hi, just discovered your channel and saying 👋 from CT 😊 I like the story behind your style evolution.

I really enjoyed watching this, it was so interesting! I am a recent subscriber and you have really inspired me. I was sort of already transitioning into more neutrals but I felt a bit stuck. Your channel has helped me so much. I am the same age as you so it is really interesting to see the style evolution from that perspective. We didn't have much help with fashion back then.. Honestly RU-vid has helped me way more than any fashion magazine!

Hey! Annie your vlogs are too wonderful and I really really enjoyed watching your vlogs a lot you’re Looking too gorgeous and I wish you reach 9K Subscribers very very soon!💖🌸💕🤗🥺🙈

Loved this!

What a journey! I def imagined a different one thinking you dressed effortlessly since your teens (just gave that vibe). thanks for sharing!

Loving this content 😍💕

This was a really interesting video thanks for sharing your journey!

This was amazing! Yep, money and style (especially in snobby environs like many urban workplaces) are inextricable. Kind of infuriating, actually: the pressure on young women who are underpaid and employed below their education/skill level to spend way more money than men on their looks to be deemed respectable at work. Aside from the temporary purse madness, I think you handled it very well!

Great video, really love seeing your style journey 👏💖 I think that money is definitely a big part of keeping up with 'fashion' however I do believe that 'style' comes with creativity & confidence regardless of your income bracket - for example thrift shopping has opened up so many opportunities to curate my personal style in a way that feels natural to me as opposed to spending and wasting money on trends that come & go and don't necessarily suit me 👍

You are such a sweet and worm but at the same time strong and cool woman.

I'm sorry...but you are just so pretty I think you will look good in anything. Sorry for the shallowness. I love your content to bits.

Love how you worked the purse game to have them and make money off them at the same time.

I enjoyed soooo much! Such a unique video. Cant wait for the Q&A with your husband. Would love to know how you met each other?

Lovely❣️👌

I have some Q & A questions if that's okay. I was wondering how you handle being a working mom and having a baby at a young age? Also how did you meet your husband and how did your family react to him?

Fashion Question: I'm currently cleaning out my closet and sizing down. Do you have any recommendations on best ways to sell clothing? Or should I donate them?

Cute fashion journey

New subscriber. Pregnancy makes your feet swell and in my case, broaden. I went from a c fitting to an e. Most ladies shoes don't go over a c. I love the way you mix up the lux and regular clothes. You are fortunate that your husband is interested in fashion, mine thinks anything over $20 is too much. 😅

Hi! Can you maybe tell me where the striped wrap top from 2019 is from? (: Maybe it is still sold on depop :p

You are so beautiful 🥰

Annie! Absolutely loving your channel, would love work together! Let us know the best way to get in contact!

The thumbnail caught me off guard considering you were a child in the first picture. It’s normal and natural to not have a defined style at that time, or at any point in life honestly.

Ah...and i was thinking you grew up super duper rich
