White dress: tailor into two separates or sell?

@amcommon Ай бұрын

I'd sell it. Tailoring doesn't always end up working out and then you might be stuck with two pieces you still don't like and will be harder to sell.

@valerie718 Ай бұрын

It’s a nice dress, but I think you should let it go. I agree that you need to show more skin.

@carlottaspadano5759 Ай бұрын

The white dress looks so good on you though!!! The muscle tank cut of the top looks great with your bare arms 💪🏻 but I agree, with the leather jacket theres not enough skin anymore. If you don't feel comfortable, sell it.

@annae2375 Ай бұрын

I think sell. I agree with someone above that it's not guaranteed that you'll like the two piece and it's better off to just let it go.

@marianapinheiro9586 Ай бұрын

Don't sell it. The dress it's beautiful. But I do agree, you need to taylor it, but I would do it in a different way. It would look so nice if you made the dress shorter, that way it would show more skin as well and balanced the look

I’m really appreciating these styling > shopping videos! So many creators who talk about slow fashion end up buying so much (and encouraging so much consumption). It feels like you’re genuinely committed to being more intentional about your consumption while still loving and enjoying fashion. Thank you!

@svetlanadreher7190 Ай бұрын

I’m not sure it’s true 😂 feels like since the end of her no/low buy she basically updated her entire wardrobe. A lot of new shoes, bags, bottoms and tops over the last year

@svetlanadreher7190 Ай бұрын

If we just look at the shoes she acquired sambas, cowboy boots, several different ballet flats, some kitten heels and that’s just what I can remember off of the top of my head

@msleeeee Ай бұрын

@@svetlanadreher7190 I have to admit I don’t closely follow what’s in her wardrobe! But I do think she’s updated her style in the last few years, and there’s nothing wrong with them. If you love fashion, there’s a careful balance between intentionally updating your wardrobe vs over consuming. I have no idea where Christina really is on that spectrum since it’s her money to spend But I do think compared to other creators who talk slow fashion then do ‘hauls’ or ‘how to update your wardrobe for ___’ or push lots of affiliate links, she’s trying to be more mindful

@svetlanadreher7190 Ай бұрын

@@msleeeee sure, it’s ok, I just think she buys quite a lot for a slow fashion too. I don’t follow many content creators so I don’t know who you are referring to who buys more and does hauls etc. She doesn’t market it as hauls but then she can have a ‘styling’ video featuring a bunch of new KOTTN items (or whatever the brand is). So to me it’s tomato/to-mah-to. But she’s fun to watch and she needs to make money. I just don’t consider it not many for a slow fashion creator, just not many in terms of fashion in general.

The white dress fits nicely. I say just wear it as a casual summer dress with leather sandals and some bangles and don’t overthink it.

Take the scalloped top to a tailor and get another set of ties put on it. It will feel more secure and you will wear it more

@shawnnap59 Ай бұрын

Great video topic! My new mantra is going to be, "if I own it, I'm wearing it." If I'm honest I'm reaching past pieces often - not because they're bad or don't work - but out of a sort of mental laziness. I like other pieces better and I've already done the work of figuring out how to style them with what I own. The pieces I bought mainly because I wanted to have them - well once I got the conquests home they have tended to sit on the shelf or hanger for me to admire, but rarely to wear. No more. Thanks for the inspiration and kick in the butt Christina!

Great video, Christina. I think the black halter, fish scale top would look great with your black silk maxi (or maybe it’s midi?) skirt…. you’d definitely need to go out somewhere! Love those black sling backs you wore with the denim outfit. Your vintage Levi’s look terrific on you!😍

The first top could use another string in the waist area that could be sewn DIY. It would give you more shape and I was visioning it with a white elegant fitted cardigan

@nicolang7577 Ай бұрын

Turn the white dress around and wear the tie open at the neck!! Instant neck skin! And get it shortened. You need more skin at the ankle to balance out all that fabric. Definitely a keep!!

@hopenield8234 Ай бұрын

Uncertain about the keep for your personal style but definitely think it could do with shortening so it hits mid calf. Perhaps a waistcoat would work for a structured layering piece?

@cynthiapotter97 22 күн бұрын

I say don’t get rid of any of your vintage Levi’s if they fit you and you look good in them. The jeans trends come and go-skinnies, cargo, barrel leg, wide leg, boot cut-but Levi’s 501s and similar are classic and are always cool. Put them in a trunk for now and pull them out when you’re feeling the vibe for them again vs selling them and then hunting for them and spending money on them all over again!!

@mariawelling4194 Ай бұрын

Hi Christina! I love the white dress. You have a great idea of tailoring the dress into two separate pieces. I would have the tailor add a larger waist band on the skirt. Bamb! Game changer!

@dd6192 Ай бұрын

I would try it with the sambas you have first:) it will show ankles, so it could be a bit lighter but at the same time you will have a closed shoe so you wont be cold

You could even take the dress apart and make the top slightly cropped to show skin and still wear it with the skirt...a matching set

You should totally wear the first top more. Both of the first two outfits, with the jeans and trousers, were cute. Plus, you’ve worked so hard and your back. Why not show it off?

the first backless top would be a GREAT "holiday" piece as well! Especially since so many events are temperature controlled ed once you're there. Paired with a statement bag, or statement earrings, or a red lip!

I think the camouflage nylon trousers need either a cropped blazer or a waist length jacket because of how baggy they are to balance it out a bit ❤ the white dress with the leather jacket in a British summer you would wear that outfit the summer we have had this year i might as well have not brought my summer wardrobe out and just left it in storage we're still waiting for dress weather and its mid July in 2024 im watching this and its getting to shops putting out autumn stuff already 😂

Could you maybe make a deep v-neck on the white dress? I dont know if it would work with the kind of ruffeled material, but if it does i think that would look really nice on you❤

What I enjoy doing with my dresses is tucking the top part inside, effectively folding the dress to transform it into a skirt. Another way to style the dress would be layering it with a shirt, tying the front of the shirt, and pairing the outfit with sneakers or ballet flats.

The white dress: wear a long and light weight black vest over it with black sneakers. Or remove the sleeves from a button down shirt (even a man’s shirt) and maybe knot the bottom hem together. A pendant necklace will cut a V- neck shape over the top.

I think wearing that dress backwards would be awesome. The keyhole back would look great open in the front and styled just as you did with those fab thrifted boots and jackets. It’s feeling windy cool summer night And when I saw that super cool backless halter, I’d immediately thought of that late 90s look of layering a halter over a tiny shrunken baby tee. It would look great with those wide leg cuffed jeans or the trousers (or a long black skirt)

Interesting video. I would try the white dress with a sweater (cropped) with ankle boots for fall. Or the striped shirt on top, but folded and tied at the waist.

What about a black corset over the white dress. Like the idea of shortening it. Could you put thicker straps (ribbon) on the fish scale top? Could you style the fishscale over the dress? Like the white top with camo. Love the levis that fit. Have you forced yourself to actually wear the styles outside and vlog how you feel in it? Then youd know for sure if its a yes or no.

The first going out top would be good layered over the fitted tanks you wear. Or even over a fitted, thin, black long sleeve tee. I would just treat it as a vest. On jeans, I've found vintage Lee are a better fit for athletic legs/hips. Wrangler and Levi's are a slimmer cut.
