Alexa, if you like black boots, wear them. You don't need to change your style just because you re wear your clothes and because some silly people said you should ❤

wow i think the cow print dress looks fantastic with the black vest! i think you could even style it as a dress that way with black shorts underneath

[csjkscs]

The cow dress on its own would be adorable but tucked in to the denim skirt is everything!

Way back in the olden times manufacturer use to pre-wash cotton and whatever fabrics they were working with before then cutting and sewing the material. If you find something that both says "100% cotton" AND says "handwash only, line dry" that usually indicates you are buying a garment where the fabric mill dyed, wove together (or spun/knit), printed onto the fabric and then sold it onto the Designer / Manufacturer (either or; sometimes the designers ask the manufacturer to source the material for them, sometimes the designer brings the exact fabric they want to the factory) ... AND THEN the manufacturer didn't pre-wash it but went straight to cutting and sewing.
This happens now a days for two reasons;
1) to save money by not paying for the water and worker's time
&
2) To get a better green score, because now they are using zero water in the clothes making process.

This does not mean you should avoid clothes labeled like this, it's just important to know that it means you need to account for shrinkage. I typically plan for shrinkage if I see this label and the garment is 100% a natural fiber. The more polyester something is the less likely any shrinkage will happen. You will also notice less shrinkage in materials like Rayon or Tencel, because all "wood fiber" fabrics do include some plastic as a strengthening component.

the green boots would look awesome with that colorful crochet cardigan

The green boots can be for every day who said they can't lol it's all about your mindset. You are the main character of your own life story...like the main character always stands out riiiight😉

I see potential in lots of the pieces for some flips! Even if they’re not working right now, as is, you’ve got the material to make a “new” used piece. Have the cow dress made into a top. The pink trousers are cute but if they’re not you-you, I wouldn’t get rid of them because you can always dye them down the line. The denim skirt I love as is and think it’s works perfectly as a transition piece for summer to fall and fall to winter. If it doesn’t fit, maybe cut your losses and give it to a friend who WILL wear it and not let it stress you out.

I think you should go the other way with the green boots. Can you try the colorful cardi with a denim skirt and green boots? I just think that the green boots with plain one tone clothes is too stark and when you wear some pattern with it it becomes more cohesive. Mixing it with patterns or different colors can actually done down the boots if that makes sense? The eye goes to the whole outfit instead of the bright green boots on your feet.

This makes me miss polyvore so much 😭😭😭😭. I love this video series, it’s fun to see you style things and it inspires me to try styling my clothes differently!

[vaneruin]

I love that you promote buying outdated trends because it's wild to me people say they like something and refuse to get it because other people say it's not cool anymore. These pieces should not be going to landfills for just that reason!

[okzeddy]

Obsessed w the cow print dress combos. I feel like a cute black hat would help complete the maximalism energy it has!!

[Cherrytchi]

i love your hair so much!! you look like a seventies icon!

[abbyclay]

the denim on denim with the green boots YES!!!

[TheBeautifulTruthh]

i love the cow print outfit with the sweater vest! very cutesy, very demure!

[MiscellaneousMatilda]

The cow print dress with black pants and red accents??? 😍

[savannahjones]

I think the green cowboy boots would look really cute with your nyc apple baby tee to tie the green in! With either a white flowy skirt or your darker-wash denim skirt

[madaleigh]

The cow print dress would look so good with a black midi skirt! Also, since watching you, I feel like my style has changed so much and am always getting inspired by your outfits 💛

[RuthGreen-izqd]

I totally understand!! I see cute outfits that I’m like “I could totally wear that” and then I feel like I’m cosplaying!

[fwkjnkd]

I searched for those green boots second hand in my size for almost 2 years inspired by you. I finally got them and I'm obsessed! I style them with very basic outfits/vey similar outfits to the one you put together. 10/10 fits my favorite of the video. I end up wearing them way more than I expected.

[ArtichokeHunter]

hmm i really like the off-the-shoulder under the denim dress, kinda playful
