Never liked the puffer. I did not jumped into the vest.
Can you tell us how you choose which items you pack away for a trend that may come around again?
As a happy owner of extremely decent sized calfs I wear these tall chelses with black tights, cropped wide leg jeans or scorts and maxi and midi skirts. That way they don’t cut the legs in an uncomfortable place. Unfortunately thats the tallest tall boots I can wear because they just don’t produce knee high boots for people of xl and bigger size… 😢 And I hhhate black sneakers for a very different reason. I’m 173 sm and xxl size but my feet are size 6. So i look like I forgot to put my shoes on and just walk around in black socks 😅😅😅😅
I love my black Sambas!!! Otherwise, I’m right there with you on all your observations & regrets! Thanks for sharing, Leoni😊
Puffy vests do add a few extra pounds 😂
I will never stop buying concert shirt of my favorite bands, ac/dc, Guns n roses, Rolling Stones, Metallica, The Struts and Morrissey, but tbh i ALWAYS buy them outside the venue with the guys walking around because they're like 70%cheaper
I just ran across your channel a week or so ago and liked the last one I saw can’t remember what it was on but I hit subscribe just because I liked you – I’m relatively the same age and I lived in Capetown for several years about 10 years ago and loved the people the accent coming from the US …everything was great New Zealand reminds me of SA so anyway…yes I loved your style & Channel. And I have to say I was surprised you were talking about style regrets you made. I could have saved you the Vlog and the money .. No white shoes ever only sneakers…to this day that’s true. NO wearing White after Labor Day or before Memorial Day in the US of course New Zealand is going into Summer now and US is going into winter …however the NO WHITE is true no matter who or where you live–This new world not only do I not like it but I don’t understand it – life was so much easier growing up in the 60’s 70’s and 80’ the MACHINE (cell phones & computers) have completely messed things up. Like I said before I could have told you ALL the regrets you made I completely get why you bought into the “styles” this is your job you vlog and you are now part of this “machine” that runs the world. I am not saying that you shouldn’t be doing any of what you do – it’s fine whatever you do but it’s so refreshing to see vloggers who admit that what they were touting was a mistake. I wish more You Tube vloggers would get on and say I bought into this trend I regreted it hated it whatever it would just be great!!! Enjoy New Zealand once of the best places I ever visited!!!
Totally agree with the chunky sandals (where the sole doesn’t move enough w your foot) as well as the chunky boots that fall in a weird ankle/ calf spot!! I regret both of these things too.
very great video for me, thanks!!
Hard no for colourful animal print
Im with you- i dont like puffer vests too.😂
Couldn't agree more with the black Sambas! I also have both the white and the black pairs – I have worn my white ones countless of times; meanwhile the black ones are collecting dust – I've only worn them once!!! Not really a big fan of black trainers to begin with but I was hoping the Sambas would be an exception – they're not! Good thing, my 13yo daughter loves them and I have given them to her and she uses them a lot!
Love rock band tee's! I collect my fave rock bands' tees (Foo Fighters, Smashing Pumpkins, The Ramones, Nirvana, Green Day, etc.) and I love them oversized, pair them with with more feminine pieces (sequin pencil skirt, a brocade mini, a white layered boho miniskirt, etc.) and metallic heels or western boots. If I'm wearing them with jeans, I make sure I wear with something structured like a blazer or a trench coat and heels.
My biggest regret is buying designer items that I don't wear:
(1) the Bottega Veneta mesh sandals with gold chain fastening in nude – They're stunning! But I have no formal parties or weddings to go to!
(2) the Hermes Oran sandals in grained leather – Had them for 3-4 yrs now but I rarely wear them even in the summer as they're painful on my wide feet! The Orans are made to be worn by those with narrow feet…or if you really love it, never buy the grained leather version!
(3) Balenciaga – After their controversial scandal involving their promotional ads that promote child exploitation and p*rn, I couldn't bear to use my Balenciaga bags and shoes, esp since they didn't sack the creative director and the team responsible for such horrible ads!
Concert tees are almost always a bad boxy shape, with annoying ribbed necklines. I always and immediately cut the necklines out into a boat or notched scoop. Sometimes I crop the hem too. No hemming required. Then they become flattering for the gym, house/garden jobs and with leather jackets and maxi skirts for going out. Way cooler.
I like my warm vests. I’m short and stout so they are like tea cozies.
I love my black sambas! lol. However, I have small feet. I’m a size 6 so they don’t have the flipper effect for me. 😂
I always (my humble opinion)thought black tennis shoes were ugly…. I bought a cream pair of chunky combat boots… I luv them…. Man if i had a dime for every piece that ended up donated or are STILL stagnant in my wardrobe id be wealthy…. Im proud of my animal print collection iv never got rid of any of it but i only have one piece of weird colored leapord… Leapord always comes back…. I didnt have to shop for it this year…. Wear your concert tshirts with animal print…. Boop!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I hate animal print so will never buy
I buy too many sweatshirts also! I love them, but I don’t need anymore
I occasionally buy concert t-shirts only if I like the design and do wear them after the concerts. I have a Bon Jovi one that is nearly 30 years old and I still wear it. Love pairing it with jeans and a blazer.
Yes to all of these! I've been doing a great deal of thrift shopping this year and noticed those colorful animal prints there. I think they look cheap and dated. On the other hand I love the look of the real leopard that's on trend right now. I believe it's a classic.
