1. 0:00do you know what really makes great
2. 0:01style spoiler alert it's not new clothes
3. 0:04so let's talk about the things that
4. 0:06actually matter most people don't wake
5. 0:08up on morning and have amazing style
6. 0:10it's a skill that is made up of a few
7. 0:13habits that take a bit of time it takes
8. 0:15a bit of effort and it's an ongoing
9. 0:17process you are always going to be
10. 0:19changing and going through different
11. 0:20phases of life and your style is
12. 0:23probably going to reflect that too in
13. 0:25this video I want to explore a few
14. 0:27different habits and things that I've
15. 0:29done that have helped me develop my
16. 0:31personal style and maybe they can help
17. 0:33you too I've tried to include things
18. 0:35that I feel like don't get talked about
19. 0:38as much but I've also included things
20. 0:40that you may have heard of before and
21. 0:42it's just always nice to be reminded
22. 0:44sometimes so get comfy I'm sitting down
23. 0:46today because I feel like this might be
24. 0:48a long one I've got a lot to say today
25. 0:50number one is to have consistency in
26. 0:54what you wear so I want to start this
27. 0:56point off by taking a look at Bella
28. 0:58Hadid who many people will call a
29. 1:01fashion icon of our era and don't get me
30. 1:03wrong she looks absolutely incredible in
31. 1:06everything that she wears she is an
32. 1:08absolutely beautiful goddess model woman
33. 1:12we've seen her do so many looks from
34. 1:14Ultra glamorous to preppy to office
35. 1:18siren to boho and it's so easy to see
36. 1:22why she's like one of the highest paid
37. 1:25models of today she could make a potato
38. 1:27sack look incredible but when we take a
39. 1:29look look at these outfits from the lens
40. 1:32of personal style I don't really get a
41. 1:35sense of what her personal style is
42. 1:38because every look is so different but
43. 1:41if we compare this to someone such as
44. 1:43Zoe Kravitz whose street style I
45. 1:46absolutely love and we look at pictures
46. 1:48of Zoe Kravitz over the years we can see
47. 1:51that her style has stayed quite
48. 1:53consistent we can see that she loves
49. 1:56minimal
50. 1:57pieces sometimes they are a little bit
51. 2:00oversized but you know nothing is too
52. 2:02fussy she's quite laidback but still
53. 2:05very put together and that even
54. 2:07translates to her red carpet style which
55. 2:10I love I think it's a really great
56. 2:12example of staying true to yourself even
57. 2:15for event dressing I think we can all
58. 2:17relate to you know buying a wedding
59. 2:20guest dress that isn't quite us but
60. 2:22because it's like a wedding sometimes
61. 2:24you buy something that is you know maybe
62. 2:26a bit more florally or frilly than what
63. 2:28you would normally wear but because
64. 2:30she's so consistent in her choices we
65. 2:33really get a sense of her personal style
66. 2:36in a more authentic way I also recently
67. 2:39rewatched Sienna Miller's Vogue 7day
68. 2:42seven looks video If you haven't watched
69. 2:44that go and watch that cuz I think it's
70. 2:46such a great video I'm definitely having
71. 2:48a bit of a Sienna Miller moment lately
72. 2:50and in that video she shows us a few
73. 2:53pieces that she has been photographed
74. 2:55wearing quite a lot she has on a pair of
75. 2:58red Gucci loafers they obviously you
76. 3:00know very worn a little bit dirty
77. 3:03they've been through a lot with her and
78. 3:05you know she's a celebrity she could
79. 3:07easily afford a brand new pair of Gucci
80. 3:09loafers but I love that she has
81. 3:12committed herself to this pair which she
82. 3:14clearly loves so much and the same with
83. 3:17this red and green leather jacket that
84. 3:19she shows us in the video she's been
85. 3:20photographed with this jacket so many
86. 3:23times over the years that it's really
87. 3:25become such an integral and authentic
88. 3:28part of her person style when pieces are
89. 3:31worn in over the years and they've
90. 3:33molded to you and maybe they're you know
91. 3:36even a little bit dirty I like to see it
92. 3:39as these pieces have stories to tell
93. 3:42that only you can tell they're part of
94. 3:45your identity the way that you style
95. 3:47these specific pieces will change over
96. 3:49the years but these pieces evolve with
97. 3:52you as you go through your life and
98. 3:54that's when they become part of your
99. 3:56authentic personal style so going back
100. 3:59to the point personal style to me is a
101. 4:03habit of consistency and that could be
102. 4:05consistency in anything as long as you
103. 4:08love it it doesn't have to be a specific
104. 4:10item it could just be a color you love
105. 4:13wearing it could even be the way that
106. 4:15you do your hair and makeup it could be
107. 4:18a certain shape or certain textures or a
108. 4:20piece of jewelry that you love to wear
109. 4:22it could be the way you mix prints and
110. 4:24colors it could be that you love wearing
111. 4:27denim and Blazers having consistency
112. 4:30means that over time people recognize
113. 4:32these things as being you and that is
114. 4:36your personal style speaking of habits
115. 4:38this is a nice little segue to talk
116. 4:41about my ultra human ring that I've been
117. 4:43wearing for the past few months a couple
118. 4:46of you have spotted this in my videos
119. 4:48already and have asked me about this and
120. 4:51ultrahuman were kind enough to let me
121. 4:53wear this for a few months before I
122. 4:55committed to putting it in a video so
123. 4:57this Ultra human ring is a health
124. 4:59tracker and it tracks everything from
125. 5:02your sleep to your temperature to your
126. 5:04stress levels to your steps um and you
127. 5:06can even track your period on it too
128. 5:08I've always been interested in health
129. 5:09trackers but let's not be around the
130. 5:12bush most of them are like horrible ugly
131. 5:15things that you have to wear around your
132. 5:17wrist that completely ruin your outfit
133. 5:20and we just can't be having that but
134. 5:21with this it's discreet it's small it
135. 5:24Blends in with my other rings I mean
136. 5:26I've even been asked like face to face
137. 5:28in person where this ring is from and
138. 5:31the other person didn't even know was a
139. 5:32health tracker so the beauty of this
140. 5:34ring on top of any other health tracking
141. 5:37Rings is that there's no subscription so
142. 5:40once you pay for this ring there's no
143. 5:42other cost that you have to pay now I'm
144. 5:44going to be honest this is definitely
145. 5:45not a necessity it's a nice to have but
146. 5:49you know as I'm getting older I like the
147. 5:52idea of tracking my health specifically
148. 5:55for me my sleep sleep is the key to good
149. 5:59good health and I really like all the
150. 6:02data that you get with tracking your
151. 6:04sleep you get things like your heart
152. 6:06rate your sleep phases and your sleep
153. 6:08cycles and how many hours of sleep you
154. 6:12are missing out on in the week and you
155. 6:15can use that information to make sure
156. 6:17that you catch up on your sleep there
157. 6:18are so many more features that the ultra
158. 6:21human ring has and so if you are
159. 6:23interested in reading a bit more about
160. 6:25them I will leave the link to this ring
161. 6:27in the description box and if you're
162. 6:29thinking of purchasing one I do have a
163. 6:3110% discount code which will be on
164. 6:32screen too thank you for ultrahuman for
165. 6:35partnering with me number two is to look
166. 6:37outside of social media for inspiration
167. 6:41I know this is somewhat ironic
168. 6:42considering you are watching my YouTube
169. 6:45channel personal style is not about the
170. 6:48clothes I believe it's about the lived
171. 6:51experiences that we have in our clothes
172. 6:54and how we can bring those experiences
173. 6:56into our personal style and I think this
174. 6:58is why we need to look outside of social
175. 7:01media for inspiration and I think this
176. 7:04really hit me at the start of the Autumn
177. 7:07season when I kept coming across Tik Tok
178. 7:10video Trends where people were asking
179. 7:13what shoes are we all wearing this fall
180. 7:15I just couldn't understand why people
181. 7:17were putting this question out into the
182. 7:19world instead of wearing what they truly
183. 7:22want people were asking this question to
184. 7:25look for popular answers and look for
185. 7:26outside validation when your person
186. 7:29personal style should come from yourself
187. 7:32and I'm not trying to be mean to other
188. 7:34creators you know these types of videos
189. 7:36actually do really well on social media
190. 7:38they get a lot of views so good on them
191. 7:40and I don't think it's the Creator's
192. 7:41fault I think it's actually a wider
193. 7:44societal problem that we're having I've
194. 7:47been feeling like social media over the
195. 7:49years has created a culture of sameness
196. 7:53it's become a bit of an echo chamber
197. 7:55where we become attracted to items
198. 7:58because we see other people wanting
199. 8:00these items too and then through social
200. 8:02media it's not just a few people here
201. 8:04and there it's hundreds if not thousands
202. 8:07of people every single day and look I'm
203. 8:09not saying I'm immune to this I mean I
204. 8:11bought sambas too okay but I think it's
205. 8:14important to try and be aware of why
206. 8:16we're buying certain items often we get
207. 8:19told to look at Pinterest or Instagram
208. 8:21for inspiration but what we have to
209. 8:23remember is that these algorithms are
210. 8:25showing us what is trendy at the moment
211. 8:28so that's why I think we need to look
212. 8:30outside of social media and have our own
213. 8:34hobbies and live our own experiences to
214. 8:37bring that into our personal style we
215. 8:40can get our inspiration from movies or
216. 8:42art galleries or books or if you have
217. 8:45the means to travel travel and
218. 8:47experience different cultures so instead
219. 8:49of wearing something for a certain
220. 8:52aesthetic or for The Virtue signaling of
221. 8:54just knowing that it's Popular by having
222. 8:57your own hobbies and interests and
223. 8:59looking outside of social media you
224. 9:01start to develop your own personal taste
225. 9:04that is genuine to you so Point number
226. 9:07three is to analyze why so I know I just
227. 9:11talked about getting off social media
228. 9:14but look I'm also realistic and I know
229. 9:17that we will all still probably watch
230. 9:19YouTube and follow our favorite content
231. 9:21creators but I think we need to start
232. 9:24doing so a little bit more discerningly
233. 9:27so instead of just thinking yes I like
234. 9:29that or no I don't like that and then
235. 9:31moving on I think we need to start
236. 9:33asking ourselves why so for example I
237. 9:37came across this picture of Lily Collins
238. 9:39recently and immediately I thought no I
239. 9:43don't like this outfit on her um I just
240. 9:45don't think it looks good but instead of
241. 9:47moving on I started to think about why I
242. 9:50don't like it so firstly I don't like
243. 9:52the color of the scarf I think this is I
244. 9:54don't know there's just something about
245. 9:56this color I personally don't like um
246. 9:59and it's a color I don't have in my
247. 10:00wardrobe and that's probably why because
248. 10:03I just don't like it but I also don't
249. 10:05think it looks good against the beige
250. 10:07trench coat I feel like the colors
251. 10:09together this kind of orine purple and
252. 10:13the beige are too muted against each
253. 10:15other and they kind of just look a bit
254. 10:17muddy together I also don't like that
255. 10:19the scarf is I'm really against the
256. 10:22scarf but I also don't like that it's
257. 10:25quite a thin material so there's a lot
258. 10:27of scrunches and bunch es in it and
259. 10:31because it's very scrunched up on top of
260. 10:34the trench coat that also has a lot of
261. 10:36colors going on I think it just looks
262. 10:38too fussy so that also tells me you know
263. 10:41I like my pieces to be a bit more
264. 10:43minimal if I'm layering I like my things
265. 10:46to lay sort of flat against each other
266. 10:48instead of too much like scrunching up
267. 10:50and then lastly I don't like the
268. 10:51sneakers with this look I think the the
269. 10:54color kind of comes out of nowhere this
270. 10:55like cream color and they are just a bit
271. 10:58too chunky for my liking I think that if
272. 11:01it was maybe a Slimmer black shoe then
273. 11:04it would have looked a bit better and
274. 11:05then if we compare this to an image that
275. 11:08I do like so I think I put this image in
276. 11:10a few of my videos lately cuz I just I'm
277. 11:13really drawn to it for some reason uh
278. 11:15but to analyze why I'm so drawn to it I
279. 11:18really like this Mal gray and blue
280. 11:21together I think those that's a really
281. 11:23nice color combination I like that the
282. 11:25blue jumper is tonal with the blue
283. 11:27trench I like the mixing of the gold
284. 11:29jewelry with the silver belt buckle like
285. 11:32I really like mixing gold and Silvers I
286. 11:34think that's like quite a nice
287. 11:36effortless look and she also has on a
288. 11:39kind of mix of Aesthetics which I've
289. 11:41talked about extensively on this channel
290. 11:43and will'll never shut off about because
291. 11:45I think that's how you create really
292. 11:46great outfits so it's quite a masculine
293. 11:49look overall you know with the loafers
294. 11:51and the jeans and the kind of heavy belt
295. 11:53buckle but then she has on these like
296. 11:55pink nails which I think is a nice you
297. 11:57know little feminine t and then there's
298. 12:00also a mix of preppiness in it with the
299. 12:03jumper over the shoulders and the socks
300. 12:05and the loafers so it's kind of a mix of
301. 12:07different looks which I really enjoy
302. 12:10looking at whilst we are on the topic of
303. 12:12looking at inspiration I do have one
304. 12:16side tip for you and that is to chop off
305. 12:20the head of the person that you're
306. 12:22looking at it's completely human nature
307. 12:24to be more drawn to Attractive people
308. 12:28and so so sometimes we have this bias
309. 12:32when we're looking at these images
310. 12:33especially if it's you know a celebrity
311. 12:35that you just like or a content creator
312. 12:37that you followed for ages and you
313. 12:39really like it's worth chopping off the
314. 12:41head and then asking is it the outfit
315. 12:44that I like or is it the person and then
316. 12:47once you start getting more analytical
317. 12:49about things that you like or you don't
318. 12:51like you will start to see patterns you
319. 12:54just have to ask yourself the right
320. 12:56questions you know is it the color is it
321. 12:58the pattern
322. 12:59is it the texture is it the shape I
323. 13:01don't like or I do like and you'll start
324. 13:04to see things you know you'll start to
325. 13:06connect the dots with things a lot more
326. 13:08so number four is to take the time to
327. 13:10play at the start of the new season when
328. 13:13the weather is changing new collections
329. 13:14are coming out and everyone's talking
330. 13:16about new trends that are emerging it
331. 13:19can get really overwhelming I think I
332. 13:21feel this the most when we go from
333. 13:24Summer to Autumn for some reason it's
334. 13:26just extra apparent in like September
335. 13:28and octo oober and it's so easy to get
336. 13:31sucked into consumerism but before you
337. 13:33decide to impulse purchase whatever you
338. 13:35have in your basket it's worth taking
339. 13:38the time to play with your clothes that
340. 13:41you already have so at the start of the
341. 13:43Autumn season what I would do is bring
342. 13:45out a few pieces that I enjoyed wearing
343. 13:49last Autumn season and I'll start making
344. 13:51outfits with them and putting things
345. 13:53together that I think would look good
346. 13:55and I'll also have pieces and
347. 13:57accessories that I've acquired over the
348. 13:59past year that I didn't own last Autumn
349. 14:01season and so incorporating those into
350. 14:04these outfits also you know gets me
351. 14:07feeling a bit more creative it also
352. 14:09reminds me of what I have rather than
353. 14:12always looking for something new because
354. 14:15isn't the whole idea of personal style
355. 14:17about wearing what you love instead of
356. 14:20giving in to every Trend and the idea of
357. 14:23this wardrobe playtime is also to put
358. 14:26things together that you might not
359. 14:29normally put together this is the time
360. 14:31to experiment it's just you and your
361. 14:33mirror there are no judgments here if an
362. 14:36outfit turns out badly it doesn't matter
363. 14:39I think that sometimes when we are
364. 14:40getting ready to meet our friends or for
365. 14:42an event it's always in a bit of a rush
366. 14:45I mean I'm surely I can't be the only
367. 14:46one that always feels like I'm in a rush
368. 14:48when I'm getting ready and so because
369. 14:50we're in such a rush we just default to
370. 14:52things that we normally wear and things
371. 14:55that we know will look good which is
372. 14:56absolutely fine you know it's good to
373. 14:58have outfit formulas that you can rely
374. 14:59on however I think this is the time to
375. 15:03experiment and you never know what you
376. 15:06might end up loving with what you've
377. 15:07created but it's just about getting into
378. 15:09the habit of giving yourself that time
379. 15:12to play and it doesn't have to take a
380. 15:14long time it can just be like one
381. 15:16evening with yourself put on some music
382. 15:20put on a show that you're watching just
383. 15:22as background noise I'm currently
384. 15:24rewatching Charmed and that's been
385. 15:26really good like enjoyable back ground
386. 15:29noise for whenever I have to do stuff
387. 15:31around the house number five is to
388. 15:34organize and regularly declutter I
389. 15:37honestly believe that an organized
390. 15:40closet is an organized mind however at
391. 15:44this current moment in time I'm really
392. 15:46not want to talk my wardrobe is a bit of
393. 15:49a mess but I am going to film a bit of a
394. 15:53wardrobe
395. 15:55reorganization so stay tuned for that
396. 15:57but I did do a declutter at the start of
397. 16:01this year and honestly that lifted such
398. 16:05a weight off my chest it just felt
399. 16:08really good to get rid of things that I
400. 16:12just wasn't using I also think that
401. 16:14having too much Variety in our wardrobes
402. 16:17causes us stress and you know that
403. 16:21decision paralysis I'm sure you know the
404. 16:24feeling you're getting ready you open
405. 16:26your wardrobe there's so much there and
406. 16:29yet you still don't know what to wear
407. 16:30which is ridiculous because we have so
408. 16:32much to choose from but the fact that we
409. 16:34have so much choice just causes us to
410. 16:37feel really overwhelmed and I think it
411. 16:39also stops us from putting together our
412. 16:42best outfits because let's be honest we
413. 16:44probably don't 100% love everything in
414. 16:48our wardrobes from my declutter at the
415. 16:50start of this year I realized that I had
416. 16:53a lot of pieces that I liked but I
417. 16:56didn't love so I liked the idea of them
418. 16:59but maybe like the color was slightly
419. 17:01wrong or the composition was like not
420. 17:04the best or maybe I had something
421. 17:06similar that I just loved more and so
422. 17:09didn't wear the other one having a well
423. 17:12organized wardrobe also just makes
424. 17:15getting dressed so much easier you know
425. 17:17what you have you know where it is and
426. 17:20you're not kind of like scrambling
427. 17:22around trying to find it like I said my
428. 17:24wardrobe is a bit of a mess at the
429. 17:26moment so I'm quite excited after after
430. 17:29talking about organizing and
431. 17:30decluttering I'm quite excited to film a
432. 17:33video about my own process number six is
433. 17:36wearing a mix of old and new and vintage
434. 17:41and pre-loved and designer if that's in
435. 17:43your budget wearing head to toe designer
436. 17:46clothes doesn't make you fashionable in
437. 17:49fact I think it does the opposite if you
438. 17:52are ring on a certain brand to feel
439. 17:55stylish but by mixing Brands and you
440. 17:58know old items and High Street and
441. 18:00designer and vintage and pre-loved you
442. 18:03get to create unique outfits that only
443. 18:06you can have you get to put your own
444. 18:08spin your own unique take on an outfit
445. 18:12that no one else can recreate but I
446. 18:14guess instead of talking about it I will
447. 18:16show you three outfits that mixes
448. 18:19everything in my wardrobe okay so I will
449. 18:23talk you through my outfit which is a
450. 18:25mix of old and new and whatever pieces
451. 18:29so these jeans these are the ca jeans
452. 18:33the COA jeans these are the arch jeans
453. 18:36from CA I'm pretty sure they do this
454. 18:38style every year but really great pair
455. 18:41of High Street Denim I love it in the
456. 18:43the dark wash I think it looks great
457. 18:45then I have it on with this belt that I
458. 18:47bought from IA um a couple weeks ago
459. 18:49when I was there I I really like buying
460. 18:53pieces on holiday it's a really nice
461. 18:54reminder of that holiday when you wear
462. 18:56them and it just makes it more special
463. 18:58is it's only available in that country
464. 19:01so this is a beautiful belt from a
465. 19:04boutique uh leather shop in IA Oldtown
466. 19:07it was a little bit pricey but I love
467. 19:10belt I thought it was really special and
468. 19:12I really liked it we were in the shop
469. 19:13for ages whil I debated which one to get
470. 19:17and then I have it on with this cardigan
471. 19:20this is also a new piece it's kind of
472. 19:23like a cropped cotton cardigan I just
473. 19:25really liked the like pointel kind of
474. 19:28detailing to it it I thought it was very
475. 19:29sweet then I have it on with this
476. 19:33vintage leather trench coat this was my
477. 19:37mom's and it's now mine it's like 30
478. 19:41years old or something so I love that
479. 19:45then I have this Seline bag which I've
480. 19:49had for a few years now I always wear it
481. 19:52it's probably my most used designer
482. 19:54handbag I just think it's so great to
483. 19:56like bring around everywhere and then is
484. 19:58that everything then I have my loafers
485. 20:01which are about 12 or 13 years old these
486. 20:04are from Top Shop when top shop did a
487. 20:07collaboration with JW Anderson so you
488. 20:10can Google however long ago that was
489. 20:12pretty sure it was about 12 or 13 years
490. 20:14ago and so that is my outfit and I feel
491. 20:17like it's very unique to me because it's
492. 20:19made up of lots of pieces from you know
493. 20:23like my this is my mom's and this is
494. 20:25from my bether and you know just picking
495. 20:27up pieces here and there um that make a
496. 20:29unique outfit so for my next outfit I
497. 20:32have on another pair of jeans these are
498. 20:34a pair of vintage Levis that I managed
499. 20:37to find on Vinted for
500. 20:40£12 I was so excited when I found them
501. 20:45and then even more excited that they
502. 20:47actually fit because that is a risk that
503. 20:49you always take whenever you buy
504. 20:51something on Vinted but I just thought
505. 20:53you know £12 even if they don't fit not
506. 20:55so much of a loss but they did and I was
507. 20:58very happy happy so then I'm wearing
508. 21:00them with a belt from Isabelle Morant
509. 21:04this is just a plain leather belt with a
510. 21:05Silver Buckle it's been very useful in
511. 21:08my wardrobe over the years and then I
512. 21:10have on this green and white stripe
513. 21:12shirt this is fairly new it's from with
514. 21:17nothing underneath I bought this last
515. 21:20year so I've had it for a year I love it
516. 21:24absolutely love this shirt if you're
517. 21:25ever in need of a shirt ever with
518. 21:28nothing underneath is the place to go to
519. 21:32then I have it on with this gray trench
520. 21:34coat that I bought when I was in Japan
521. 21:38in March the vintage shopping in Japan
522. 21:40incredible this was like £30 or so um
523. 21:45and I absolutely love it and then I have
524. 21:46it with this brown bag from J crew this
525. 21:50is one I also bought last year but I
526. 21:53absolutely love this bag I think this
527. 21:56and the Seline bag I just showed you are
528. 21:58probably my top two most worn bags and
529. 22:01then lastly for my shoes I have these
530. 22:03acne boots which I've had for
531. 22:06about eight
532. 22:09years yeah wow eight years they were
533. 22:13probably like one of the first designer
534. 22:16boots that I ever bought um and I still
535. 22:19have them in my wardrobe I just think
536. 22:20they're really good shape really classic
537. 22:23I like the wedge I feel like it's a
538. 22:24little bit different um so yeah so for
539. 22:28my last outfit I have on these trousers
540. 22:30from goo spelled like gu and goo is a
541. 22:35sister brand to Unico I think it's meant
542. 22:38to be like an even cheaper version of
543. 22:41uniclo but I got these from Japan and
544. 22:43they were just such a good fit and I
545. 22:46think they were like £10 or something so
546. 22:49I just had to get them I should have
547. 22:51just got them in lots of different
548. 22:52colors to be honest and this belt is
549. 22:55just a plain black leather belt with
550. 22:58this gold buckle and I got this from a
551. 23:02market when I was in Italy last year
552. 23:05with my mom and my boyfriend so that's
553. 23:07another kind of like holiday purchase
554. 23:09that always makes me think of the
555. 23:12holiday my top is a cashmere vest from
556. 23:16Unico this was in my most recent Unico
557. 23:19video so you would have seen that if
558. 23:21you've watched that video then this
559. 23:24leather jacket I've had for a couple
560. 23:25years it's from W concept and W concept
561. 23:29is like an online shop that has lots of
562. 23:32different Korean designers on there this
563. 23:35is like a Korean brand and then my bag
564. 23:37is a pre-loved Prada handbag really good
565. 23:42find in my opinion it's not a style I've
566. 23:44seen before and I just thought it was
567. 23:47unique um but minimal you know it's got
568. 23:50that sort of like '90s
569. 23:51minimalism isness about it and then what
570. 23:55else Converses had these for years and
571. 23:59years and years of course a classic and
572. 24:01then I have on this red beaded necklace
573. 24:04that I got from mango yeah I think you
574. 24:07guys kind of get the point just a mix of
575. 24:09like old and new and sometimes designer
576. 24:12and just the way you put together all of
577. 24:16these pieces is what makes your own
578. 24:19unique personal style so the final point
579. 24:22which might be one of my favorites is to
580. 24:26start putting what you want to to
581. 24:28purchase into a wish list I think using
582. 24:31a wish list just has so many benefits
583. 24:35firstly you stop yourself impulse
584. 24:37purchasing you stop yourself impulse
585. 24:39purchasing that Trend that you are
586. 24:41seeing everywhere and you think you want
587. 24:44we are in such a culture of see it like
588. 24:48it want it buy it and I think this is so
589. 24:50damaging to our personal style
590. 24:53development and our wallets give
591. 24:56yourself a moment to just build a wish
592. 24:59list of things that you feel like you
593. 25:02might be missing in your wardrobe for
594. 25:04example on my wish list currently I have
595. 25:08a pair of black knee high heeled boots
596. 25:11because I don't own a pair and a brown
597. 25:15suede mini skirt I think these two items
598. 25:18for Autumn winter would easily slot into
599. 25:22my wardrobe I have so many things I
600. 25:24could wear with both of these items and
601. 25:26it would open up a lot of outfits for me
602. 25:30so by having these things on a wish list
603. 25:32when I inevitably see a piece that I
604. 25:35like on social media let's say it's a
605. 25:38gray cardigan I can consult my wish list
606. 25:40and it reminds me that I have these two
607. 25:43other pieces on here that actually I
608. 25:46would prefer to buy over this gray
609. 25:49cardigan these are the things that
610. 25:51actually I do want to save up my money
611. 25:53for and would rather put the money I
612. 25:56could have spent on that gray card into
613. 25:59these two pieces and then I can happily
614. 26:01forget about this gray cardigan and move
615. 26:03on sometimes I do see a piece that does
616. 26:06get added to my wish list but then after
617. 26:09a few days I'll come back to it and I'll
618. 26:11decide that actually I don't want this
619. 26:14item that initial excitement of maybe
620. 26:17owning this item wears off after a
621. 26:20couple days and I maybe come to the
622. 26:21realization that it's not the item that
623. 26:24I wanted but actually it's the celebrity
624. 26:28that was wearing it or the content
625. 26:30creator I I saw it on but giving myself
626. 26:32a few days to think about it to sleep on
627. 26:35it to put it on a wish list and then
628. 26:37forget about it um has really saved me
629. 26:40on a lot of occasions I've definitely
630. 26:42had moments of weakness marketing is a
631. 26:45very powerful tool and it's only getting
632. 26:47more powerful to be honest but using a
633. 26:49wish list has definitely helped me and
634. 26:52it's also the mindset of knowing that
635. 26:55there's always going to be a piece that
636. 26:56I'm going to want and if it's not this
637. 26:59it's going to be something else I hope
638. 27:01this was helpful if you enjoyed this
