Save Money: Shop Your Closet for New Outfits Using Clothes You Already Own ;)

Ciao everyone! Today I'm recreating Spring Summer 2024 fashion runway outfits using clothes I already own. I use elements of style to shop my closet, make new outfits out of old clothes, and save money and reduce fashion consumption in the process. It's also a great way to find your personal style without shopping. I hope you like these looks, let me know if you think they're a hit or a miss!

Thank you for watching!

On this channel, I share #slowfashion​​​​​ and #sustainablefashion​​​​​ tips that center around how to #shopyourcloset, and restyling pieces you already own. I also spotlight brands that I believe in every now and then. I believe in #creativityoverconsumption​​​​​, and that we all have the power to be conscious consumers.

Slow fashion looks different for everyone, and I'm so grateful you share this space with me!

A magazine (remember them? I think it was Redbook) used to feature an item (dress, jacket, trousers etc) worn/styled for women of different ages. 20s, 40s, 60s. Different shoes, lengths, layering, etc. It was very interesting and inspirational. Maybe Alyssa could team up with her mom again to ‘recreate’ this approach.

Always enjoy your fashion tips! (I'm 78 years old BTW, but still learning .... 🙂) As to wearing the high black boots, IMHO I feel your hair color and its style also balances out the look.

Love how the key word is letting the outfits “inspire” you. You are trying to show us the difference between being inspired by an outfit, to create something with what we have, for ourselves, rather than trying to copy it.

The third outfit would look cool at a festival.

Alyssa can you address fashion for 60 and over. I use so much of your advice but would love a way to wear for me i am visual so would love more inspiration

None of these looks were my style personally, but always inspired by the breakdown and of course shopping our closets. They look great on you! And thanks for the inspo:)!

Hi Alyssa,
Been watching videos for 2 yrs. Still struggling. But you shared your structured blazer with knit sleeves. How you like structure but comfort. CHANGED MY LIFE. It took a couple years for me to learn I belong back in blazers. I invested in Sézane, Lauren, Everlane etc.BUT I travel. A lot. So I had a great wardrobe sitting at home. Now I have found fine-weave heavy structured knit blazers. Perfect. Can stuff in a backpack! CHANGED MY LIFE. TY

Really liked the black boots with the red mini skirt ❤️🖤 The white shorter dress was a chefs kiss with long black boots, Alyssa 🤍🖤 Excellent video. Thank you.

[evaburgess]

I applied you relements of style the other day when I saw several outfits with a midi skirt with front slit. Took a skirt I already own and wore it backwards. I loved it. Did not need a new skirt and now have another way to wear something I already own and like. Thankyou.

The bustier with the Sezanne sweater= Genius! Love it on you.

[sonnychazz]

Alyssa I love how you deconstruct the elements of the look rather than copy & paste recreate the look. I learned so much from this video in terms of how to approach inspiration pics. You were so creative with the looks- especially the black shirt under the structured bustier with the slouchy jeans. What a great video!

I always get new ways to style my very small wardrobe when I watch you! - Michelle

The last outfit could be worn in nyc in the summer even with combat boots.
