How to use proportions to dress better

Ciao everyone! Today I'm sharing how to dress better by using proportions and styling tips. Good style is not about buying more clothes, it's about knowing how to style the ones you already have! I hope these tips help:)
Stay tuned for when tickets will go live for our next #shopyourcloset event!

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!

If you were cooler 😅 you are so cool, Alyssa! And in a genuine way, not in an attention seeking way. You’re cool, in part, because you love what you do, know what you love, and are so knowledgeable and thoughtful. Someone to admire 💛 thank you for these lessons in styling, they are so helpful!

[midlifemom]

This was helpful especially for me as a petite gal, 5'4" 115lbs. Scale and proper construction of stylish petite clothing is a challenge

I find this type of video and walkthrough so helpful because this is the most difficult thing for me when putting my outfits together! Would love if you did more of these! Thanks Alyssa 😊

This stuff is so important. You don't always think about it when you're shopping for clothes. Those big oversized shackets and lots of other oversized items are really having a moment, and they're tricky to wear when you're a small person.
You've got long legs and even so you work around the shortening effect of some silhouettes. Thanks Alyssa, great content.

[hoopla]

I love how you explain why something works or why it doesn't and the little tweaks that make a difference. Really helpful, thank you.

Love this body positive and size inclusive video on proportion. When others use proportion to highlight looking ‘slimmer’ or address ‘problem’ areas you have used it to educate and empower. Thank you!!!

[cyndratownley]

Pulling out a piece or two a week of maybes as an ongoing edit as you suggested.
This video about proportions gives me another tool. I just watched it again today to help me through the process.
It's a bit of meditative time, doing something both creative, purposeful, and something for me.
Can relate to the geography (today's live video) not meshing with one's style. I live in Victoria BC, grew up spending a lot of time in Paris and Rome where my mom gave each of us girls outfits great thought before we went out.
I decided tension is the way to go for me,
Thank you for all the lessons I can ruminate on.

Girl. This was AGGRESSIVELY FANTASTIC ❤. I was taking notes during shop your closet yesterday to request that you do a deeper dive into proportions discussion. And then this morning, boom. Thank you for seeing into the future and reading my mind. Lol. Kidding.

As a non-straight size wearer and petite-height person I feel like the vast majority of clothes secondhand, fast fashion or more sustainable are not made with the needs of my body in mind. I also almost exclusively wear flats. 🎉Because of and with the help of your channel and your considered, thoughtful, inclusive and wonderful work I have been able to learn to dress and expect differently from my clothes. Because of my specific needs, proportions might be where I put the most effort in. Please keep doing what you are doing. And please be so very proud of yourself today and every day. I appreciate it all more than you know ❤🎉😊

I love this and try to apply….would love if you did this with like a size 14/16. Some I can convert, some I get stuck on!

[rscool]

I just want to comment that your hair in this video is beautiful!

[wrendor]

Proportions was always a problem. Your demonstration of Proportion is dead on 😊 Thank you Alyssa ❤

[suzannedesylva]

This is wonderful. I think I will have to watch it 5 times. Lots to absorb. Thanks.

[juleannedawson]

Love this video! Great explanation and examples. I’m 5’4”. I have trouble with my blazers. I have several black “basic” blazers that Range from ending an inch below waist, to 6 inches below waist, to over sized that ends 14 inches below the waist. Which one to wear with the difference bottom has been a challenge. This video helps a little with the issue. Would love to see more about these blazers with different bottoms Thanks so much for your insights

[aklookout]

I could watch these all day! You put words to what my eyes know, but don’t translate with the articulation you bring for the table.

[prabinathapa]

Thank you so much for such detailed information on proportions plus the other details which may seem small tweaks here and there but makes a whole lot difference in the outfit. Love from India ❤❤❤

[moranac]

I love the ease and simplicity you are teaching us about fashion. It is so understandable.Thank you.❤

[norawotton]

I really felt the visuals worked really well in this video - it makes me realize that I need to play with my clothes more.

[patricialamontagne]

Excellent Video. Great content and delivery

[llkoolbean]

Great demo. Luv the coats with the boots explanations; especially with you modeling the different options. Those boots are great too 😊

[jimandjudyc]

Love those light-wash jeans. I just bought some in a similar silhouette. This really helped me a lot, because I haven't worn them much due to not knowing how to put them together with a "harmonious" top and footwear. And I love your print cropped jacket that you've had forever! Actually found all of this video very helpful. Thank you!
