Using Stylist Tips to plan outfits for the week 

Adore this video and would love to see more like this. I think a No Buy would be good for you, but specifically on your Love to buy/Hate to wear items. No new blazers, trousers or oversized shirts. I think because you like them *in theory* but haven't always made them work for you, there is a tendency to think the problem is the particular item, and you make another purchase because surely the next one will be The Perfect One. But since you haven't resolved the styling of them you'll just keep coming up against the same issue (and you'll own more blazers/shirts/trousers than many small-to-mid-sized boutiques). Focus on what you have; keep working those creative muscles, and let the garments you have work hard for you, not sit neglected on a rack. I think a fitted top, like a body suit (maybe in a neutral you love or an interesting muted colour), under the blazers, and also under the shirts (worn open so they become a layering piece) would be a great look to try. Also a pretty, romantic camisole would create a fantastic, ~unexpected~ juxtaposition of masculine/feminine. Let the HGW bod enter the chat 😉 Finally, I say this with love: The super oversized blazer needs to go.

Please continue the series! This video gave me a lot of inspiration for my own wardrobe 🥹

The blue turtleneck is just made for you, the color absolutely shines on you! And with the grey, chef's kiss

Loving the lime green sweater over the shoulder! The perfect ~unexpected~ addition to a lovely base outfit!

Christina Mychas talks often about your “fantasy self” items and how to declutter them, which sounds like may be your blazers/shirts/trousers

We have COMPLETELY different styles but I love watching these videos because even though I personally wouldn't wear a lot of the outfits, they still look so good on you and your thought process inspires me to want to play around with my own closet!! 💕

I always think of “the Emma Hill” method when getting dressed: one piece of tailoring and one casual piece. So that for me is the combinations of jeans and a blazer, trousers and trainers, satin skirt and knitwear.

The red bag with that blazer (and whole outfit really) looks sooooo good! And I do think it is unexpected. ❤

The pretty shades of green and gray are giving Syltherin Chic and it makes me happy 💚

I too love a more androgynous style! Always have since I was younger. I love looking feminine with my makeup, but prefer a baggier style with my clothing. Beautiful girl!

As a fellow sweaty gal who gets stressed about layering, I love the idea (which Alison seconds) of layering with jewelry/accessories. Those can also be your unexpected pieces and the ones that add visual layers without adding HOT layers haha

Ok so Try a fitted/stretch cami in your perfect nude or any neutral (particularly ones that hit mid chest with a straight across neckline) under all your blazers and it adds a more feminine silhouette under all blazers especially the oversized ones. You may love the look & decide to keep an otherwise boxy jacket that you feel lost in 😊your neck and upper chest are so pretty and it will allow you to be seen vs swimming in layers. If in winter you can buy cashmere or soft woolly tanks or camis if concerned about warmth

LOVE THE GREEN SWEATER!!! V Unexpected in the best way

Weekly outfit planning is the only way I make it to the office on time; love the inspo, keep it coming! xo

Oh girl! You are def not aware how GORGEOUS THAT BLUE looks on you! It’s 100% your color, pls wear it at least once a week! But every single of these looks is an absolute gem ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 it’s always: what would Allana wear, I’d totally steal your entire closet 🤩

Truly LIVING for these videos!! Don’t forget what AB always says, “if it’s not a hell yes, it’s a hell no”. Even when we’re flexing our style muscles, we still have to pick up those items in our wardrobe that makes us feel next level! If the blazer isn’t doing it with the wide shoulders, that’s okay. You’re fabulous, girl. Never forget it ✨

Loving these styling videos, Lan!! So fun seeing people’s thought process when picking out outfits. ALSO, something helpful I do when I buy something new is try it on and see how many ways I can style it. It challenges me to get creative and determine if the piece is really worth keeping! PLUS it makes picking out an outfit early in the morning so much easier bc I already have X # of outfits in my back pocket that I know work/I feel good in!

Love these styling outfits with you. Love you show the base and the add on as you go. I have her book as well and now I’m fully inspired to style my closet!

This episode with "love to buy, hate to wear" looking at your stuff, is a good lesson for all of us. To me, realistically you need one, possibly two, blazers max, two button-down shirts, and one nice pair of trousers that go with both blazers. Anything else is using precious space and financial resources, and creating a situation where stuff hangs on the rack unworn. I used to be guilty of that, and now I'm down to items I actually rotate through (fall/winter and spring/summer) and I wear 100% of the items. They fit my lifestyle. But it took getting rid of a lot of things that I'd accumulated and had spent a lot of money on!

Love your styling videos - the Frankie shop coat is gorgeous! The colour goes so well with your hair! xx

Love your styling videos! Your style is exactly what I want mine to look like! I feel you with the classic fits and colors!

Every single one of these outfits were perfection! Please definitely make this a series 😍

I’m very late to the game here as I’ve just found your channel …. But watching you play with your “never worn” pieces and working through the process, I’d highly recommend watching Trinny Woodall. Even if her style and her wardrobe is not your thing, the way she plays so fearlessly with her clothing and accessories is infectious. Some of her bravery will rub off on you. She looks at clothing as shapes and textures and doesn’t think in terms of “do’s” and “don’t’s” or “rules” so much as she thinks about what combinations look like to the human observing them. She puts together things most people would NEVER in a million years think of putting together precisely because they have all these “rules” in their heads and they don’t just SEE the items, their shapes and textures and colours. She endlessly inspires me to think outside of the box and to view my clothes differently. But she also talks her audience through why things like pulling up the blazer sleeves to reveal the shirt beneath it works or doesn’t work (in how you did it, it definitely works) and she talks through why different body types might not suit something or how to re jig items to better suit your body type. Anyhow … I’m really enjoying this because it’s so relatable. Style absolutely is a muscle we need to exercise. I think we tend to think it aught to be effortless, you either have it or you don’t sort of thing, but that’s not true for anyone. Watch any style icon talk through their process, watch them in action and they endlessly play with their clothes. They spend a lot of time figuring out how to style things. It just LOOKS effortless by the time they leave the house. Or it becomes effortless because they’ve spent so much time putting in all the hard work. They often think through their purchases way more than most people do. That’s work and that’s effort. Really am enjoying Allison as well. I like her method.

Just started doing this for the new year new me putting together outfits for the week I am loving it😘

Appreciate your realness about what you wear and don’t!! Totally relatable 🩷

very useful and informative video. I also struggled with the same issues so here is how I managed to wear everything I have in my wardrobe: - tailored trousers + casual sweatshirts/jumpers/ T-shirts + sneakers - dress down blazers with casual tops, jeans and loafers or snakers - wear a button down shirt as a layer, with a t-shirt or a turtleneck under and then sweatpant or legging as bottom + sneakers

I love these videos, keep it up girly!! So much inspo!

Love these looks - glad you posted this on Black Friday, inspiring me to look at what I already have instead of continue to buy things!

Agree that pulling up the blazer sleeves look much nicer! My issue is that if I do that, I'll get cold and I hate being cold. If I'm wearing a blazer it means the weather is cooler and pulling up the sleeves is impractical.

Love the realness as always! I follow Allison as well and it’s really cool to see her suggestions on action and love how you interpret it. Let’s all bring Funky fresh back to our vocab too 🤗 😆

Just as of last night decided to take out 2 bottoms and 2 tops that I never wear to put them into my weekly outfits for next week outfits really happy with myself that I am making so much progress😊

This video is really one of the best I've seen in a while, I was missing the tutorial of how to style, and I love how you've taken us along on the thought process. Thanks you, hope you do more of these ☺️

I love this type of videos. I would love to see the next one with special occasions. You style is so inspiring!

I LOVE pigmami!! Her thoughts on consuming fashion and perspective on style have completely inspired me to rethink how I consume fashion/style content and have trickled into how I shop/buy pieces for my wardrobe. Love her videos

Such a great helpful video! Keep’em coming! ❤

Didn’t think I would like this, but I loved it! It takes some courage to put something like this out there. Well done!

Love this style of video! Inspires us to get creative :) Also, the green button down looks so good on you!

Along with these tips and the recent Hannah Poston video I feel inspired! And I agree about the light oversized jacket.

This is the best outfit video you have ever done. Amazing outfits.

I enjoyed this and found it helpful seeing/hearing your thought process! 😊 xxx

Best looks you ever put together!! Super cool

Me watching this while I do my workout! Thanks for inspiring us!

Love these videos!! definitely continue making them

Allana, love all the styling options. You looked divinely CHIQUE ❤❤❤❤

I love watching these while reading through the book!!!!

I LOVE these videos. Also, you give me ideas for my own closet. 😊

Been watching your channel for yeaaars, and these style videos and hot girl winter are SO so good, I’m literally hooked waiting for your next video!!

More of these! Super inspiring/helpful!

Love all of the outfits! Classy and chic. You influenced me to get multi coloured Crocs (I love them) ♡

Hoodie + blazer is a great combo too

Yes continue styling in this mode!!

Oh, that Holland Cooper coat is STUNNING!!! Great video. xx

With the shirts I think you can jazz them up with silk scarf around your neck and throw the blazer on. My fave way lately is to use funky and fun color socks to add pop of color with the sneakers.

I love what you are doing here Allana, it’s brave ❤

We have very different styles but I still love watching these! ❤ Your style is very Diane Keaton, classic for sure!👌🏻

The green shirt is perfect.. love it, I hope it will be back in stock sooon

Love your style, love these types of videos❤️❤️ and love love the advice and ideas🤩🤩🤩

I'm also obsessed with the first look!!

I have So many nice things that I Never wear! Nice to know that someone like you has the same issue. Thanks for this video, I feel inspired to style my closet!

Absolutely love these tips. I can really relate to being unable to style my clothes. Thank you….and happy to hear YOU’re. STILL. MARRIED. 🤣🤣. Editing on point. Have an awesome day. ❤️❤️

I’m obsessed with the green shirt ❤ you loooook fabulous

love this vid... you have such a way of making your vids relatable and fun. 😊

It is a nice reminder that we all buy things that we like and want to wear and then just don't. I also by shirts and don't wear them and the need to iron is definitely part of the reason. In terms of just wearing the shirts alone, without a layer on top... I think that green shirt would look great worn over your leather trousers (I know you have some) and those green sambas. And leather trousers are probably another thing you keep for event dressing.

Love the outfit with the lime green sweater, brown pants, & brown coat. Also, the outfit with the gray shirt, gray sweater vest, and blazer. ❤

I LOVE this video!!! I am so happy to hear that you have some of the SAME issues I have about clothes too. I get such anxiety and I have to just take the time and do what you have done too. You have inspired me- it’s hard and thank you for breaking down…

Lovely😍, I adore this series. My best tip to wear buttons down during the cold weather is simply by doing a black turtleneck underneath. I find it soooo chic! try it on!

honestly I hate watching haul videos... but styling videos are my favorite!! good job! 😍

I love to follow your line of thoughts like this. And I also think your really brave to share your experiments with us

I really love the straight jeans with the light blue shirt! Really suits your vibe somehow 🤗

I’m with you on the blazers. I love the way they look, but I love the way my sweats feel more!

Thank you I loved this video and please do more. Actually I love all your videos ❤

I LOOOOVE EVERYTHING

Continue this series, yes! 👏🏻

love these videos! I've been avoiding videos of hauls or black friday picks because I can't be shopping for more clothes right now so this is very much welcome content.

Omg I want one of these videos every week 😂 Maybe once a month? Please?!

I love the styling session … I need this also

Really loved this video!

I love dark wine and dark green for the winter.❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊

That green shirt is beautiful 😊 and looks amazing with the jeans *

For that green button down, try tucking it in to the jeans, add a tan/beige sweater vest on top and and a belt! That might work and make it seem more finished.

YESSS NEW VIDEO!

Thanks for this! Love you in the straight jeans/button-up look, very cool and casual. Also the sky blue is gorgeous on you! I, too, have been integrating more color. I'm 33 and the older I get the younger I think some color makes me look/feel. But there are definitely days when it's just beige all the way.

Please continue!❤ loved the video

You should do a vlog wearing your outfits through out the week ❤

Love this series! I also find myself never gravitating toward shirts, and my lazy self found that layering a knitted vest over a them is a great way to actually use them ✨

I totally relate to this video, I have a lot of blazers and button-down shirts just sitting in my closet and I never know how to wear them or feel comfortable. My blazers are oversized and I need to get over it and just start wearing them. I too gravitate towards T-shirts jeans oh yeah and I also have a lot of trousers too. This video is help so much and I need toflex, my muscles and the mental block. Please keep making these types of videos. I love it.

Thank you for putting into words how I feel when I get dressed lol i stress out when I try to find an outfit and I always end up wearing what I always wear 😩 I’m going to try to flex my style muscle too thank you for the inspiration! I really liked your preppy outfit at the end!

Make it more funky fresh 😄gonna be my style motto for the year love it😘

Thank you for this, the struggle is real. But loving the tips of breaking it down to easy steps. 😘

love these videos feel like we're having a girls day just playing with outfits :)

Wow you the deep forest green trench and then the button down at the end look so stunning in you! It adds this v refined quality to the casual lewks 👌

Your button downs are stunning! You can wear them open with a cami or tee underneath. Or tie them up for a cute more fitted look. Also I looove a turtleneck under a button down. Adds nice layer and texture. Love these styling videos :)

Green shirt, some light (creme/white) loose trousers or jeans, green sambas and beige coat 🥰 that could work with the green shirt as well.

Love the base outfits, but would love to see more accessories!!

That green trench 😍😍 And the blue turtleneck 😍

Love the video! You could try layering your long sleeve button ups as the layering piece itself. Example: Open the button up, wear the white tee (or light sweater) underneath, and for fall/winter make sure to wear a warm coat overtop! With with light sweater option, you could pull up the sleeves on the button up and have the same look as with your blazer

I loved to hear you talk about over consuming because that is something that I'm trying to mindful of too. I would to learn some financial tips form you when it comes to fashion or life in general!

omg Pigmami is the best!!!!!

always fast to click on Allana styling videos 😮‍💨💯

Charly Goss Style helped me learn how to style blazers and oversized button up shirts!
