The Fashion Rules You Never Heard Of To Level Up Your Style

👏🙏😍

loved the bit about not saving the dressier clothes of the favorites for special occasions....rather wear and enjoy them. a big fan

I'm really glad that you touched on how a person's upbringing can impact their sense of style, because honestly, I find that my style doesn't rely on outliers a whole lot. I like to keep things casual and I live in Tennessee.... traditional could be one outlier word that I would use. I also know that femininity is definitely starting to become a thing in my style even though my personality leans more on the masculine side at times.... It's a fun process to see you putting this exercise into practice, so I appreciate this video very much 😊

Your parents sound really fun! Excellent video, as always. Thanks so much!

Love the قطن tote bag!

Great tips! Fun sweatshirts are my wardrobe essential and I loved your gray hoodie. Do you mind sharing where it is from?

I love that you link Canadian sites, finally - I have been looooooking for so long....I will be a big follower!

I cant stop watching your videos. This makes so much sense. I think my words are somewhat like Artsy + Cosy + Practical.

You were mentioned in NPR News in my daily NPR email this morning!!

"Content creator Christina Mychaskiw says she makes de-influencing videos because the shopping haul videos she watched growing up normalized overconsumption."

Whoohoo!

Thank you so much for your honesty and transparency about your previous spending habits and problems. Far too many influencers out there peddling a fantasy that they have all this and can afford it so you should too, without baring the truth of sponsorships, so called ‘favourites’, free goods in exchange for their promotion, links so they make money off your spending, and ‘hauls’ that are promptly returned.

I'd love to see an in depth video about rule #8 😊

Great video! I am going to wear my off white linen trousers around my 80 lb Aussie Doodle puppies (who love to get wet and dirty on our farm) and see how it goes. I’m tired of keeping things for later.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Every point is an absolute gold nugget!!! Love ❤️

The wrong shoe just feels like, well, the wrong shoe...like you were running out of the house and grabbed what was sitting by the door.

Please tell me the maker of the pleated grey pants you wore. Looking for inward facing pleats, so much more flattering than the commonly found outward facing pleats. Thank you

Wish lists are great tools if you have a certain type of clothing you need or want. It also helps when sales do come up and that saved item is up to 50% off. I never pay full retail for clothing. There must always be a discount or perk. Also since I'm no longer corporate I do not feel pressured into buying a certain type of apparel.

Why isn’t your ‘modifier’ word one of your three words?

those grey trousers and big blue shirt are far too big for you, feels like balance is out

Clothes are my life and I love to follow the second hand influencers. I really think I got it all down but once in a while I hear a really fabulous tip from an influencer just here or there. I feel like this video has gleaned the best tips I have ever heard into one video. Kudos and congratulations! I love your style!

Hi Christina, so true for No. 8 why are we saving our clothes?? Wear your favorite clothes!😊 Great advice.

The best thing I ever did for my style was pull my favorite items out of my closet and look at them together. Some very clear preferences became obvious immediately. There were just a few colors, cuts, fabrics and textures. Three words could definitely describe the vibe. And it was enough to put together a few days of fits that make me feel great. It felt like my true style was there already, but it was hidden in a lot of clutter. So I decided to wear only my favorites for now, and evaluate everything else one piece at a time at a pace I can manage. It has been rewarding so far! A few items went to consignment, so I have some store credit to use when I am ready. Friends wanted some pieces, and I am thrilled that they look great in things that were not working for me. A local organization was looking for specific items that I had, so I donated. The real fun is just beginning though--I transformed a couple of things into favorites with dye and small alterations that I learned with internet tutorials. I have at least ten more pieces that I plan to alter. My collection of favorites is growing without shopping!

Great principles! Only thing: Never tuck jeans into cowboy boots! You'll be laughed out of any Western state. Wear them with a skirt or dress if you want to show them off. 👢

Love this! Your videos are so full of amazing knowledge. Thanks so much! ❤

My 3 words: lazy, cute, and fuzzy 🤣

As I have told my Mom, wear a fancy whatever even when going to the Grocery Store! I wear fancier accessories with wardrobe basics to kick the look up. It is so much fun! 😊❤ Thanks for more great content, Christina! Your style rocks! 🙂❤️🤘🏼 That black dress...hubba-hubba! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hi Christina, what is the difference between 3 style words and modifier? For e.g. my style words are youthful, eye catching, comfortable. Then what would be examples of modifiers for my style?

Can you advise what your go to tank tops are? Thanks

Isn’t short torso and long legs super hot ?

I was so excited for this Indyx thing, but unfortunately I don't feel represented by the styles offered at all. Like, I just don't ever wear high heels and I don't shop or desire specific brands.

But I love this tibi colour wheel! I want one!

here did you get the black dress, the silky one? I love that twenties look

I heard some new tips and they are great. Thanks!!!

Thanks . You helped me alot.

I feel like I am not your target market, as I do not fit in your sponsor's clothing up to XL, as a plus-sized woman. I missed the message that you are trying to give, as I am wondering if this is something that works for everyone or just applies to someone at your shape and size.

Christina, I've been following you since 2018 and I have to say I love your transition from being a shopaholic to consuming consciously and also getting out of debt. I am on a similar journey and I so appreciate you being vulnerable and sharing this with me/us! I love your new style cheers to evolution!

Terrific video! What brand is your green blazer?😊

Can you explain fashion modifier a little more please

NOT doing big!

Leaning into opposite always takes a look from costume to fashion 💯

My favourite video of yours 💥⚡️

OMG those patent boots - what brand are they please?

I downloaded Indyx app and took the 3 word quiz. You are right, it was remarkably accurate! 🙀 I don't know if I am pleased or a bit sad that I am so predictable 😸😸 (it reminded me that I am super depressed that Dries Van Norton is retiring since he is one of my absolute favourite designers of all time)

Started watching this and couldn't even stop or finish the video before perusing my closet for all the maybes I've been keeping in the mix. Count 'em, 12 tops -- almost 25% of what's there! Thank you for helping me to take action on what I've already felt weighing on my mind when getting dressed.

Delayed gratification has worked SO well for me, and I have only mastered the practice by pinning everything that grabs my attention. Doing this has allowed me the space not to feel pressured "because I might forget it or where I saw it" but also sometimes I'll go back and be like, "Wow, that was definitely a passing fancy, glad I didn't buy that!" 😂

Not sure if you'll see this, but can you tell me where your black tank top came from that you wore in those clips toward the end of this video? Love the interesting and elegant scoop back!

I think #10 is so important. If I’m still thinking about pieces of clothing a week after I put it on my wish list or longer then I know I actually am interested and it wasn’t just me being caught up in the moment.

I love color on you. If I had my way, I would put you in a pop of color every day.
My life is very active so unless I want to ruin my really nice clothes, they are saved for special occasions. For me, my style is based on my colors and nice jewelry. I really like the look of jeans and a quality tee for my lifestyle. From there, if I need to pop out and see people all I have to do is throw on some nice accessories, switch out my shoes and I am done.

This is a very high-quality and useful video about style. It surprises me how hard it is to find good content on this topic.

My fantasy self is my current self I just needed to stop “saving” my special things and wear them because I love them and feel good in them! 🫶❤️

Let me know some of the principles and habits you’ve implemented to level up your style! ✨💅
