HOW I FOUND MY STYLE (& How You Can Find Yours)

hi everyone its Kirsten and I'm finally back with a very much requested video and that is about my style or well basically more about how I found my style I was so surprised that I got so many questions about that topic and you can imagine it's not very straightforward it's been quite a journey and I think one of the most important reasons that changed my mind says I will get to that in a second is that I stopped writing my blog two years ago there's actually a video here on this YouTube channel called how I have fallen out of love with blogging there were many reasons why I stopped blogging but also one of the reasons was because it was a fashion style blog that i i i i published those two or three times a week always about style which as you can imagine involved a lot of shopping I had many designer pieces but also step into mangoes Zara H&M on a regular basis because I thought I have to show things new things and I don't know there was we visited Quarry Bank mill which used to be a very big textile mill during the Victorian period and I mean it's no longer in working order but it's a museum and also that helped me to change my mindset they were back in the day mostly children worked in this in this mill and I mean that was in the UK but all of us after much aware that children make our clothes in third-world countries still and this is why I I do not have wanted to be more conscious about what I wear where I shop and I didn't want to be a person who is defined by how many designer bags or shoes she has on the country I wanted to be a person who inspires others by wearing things all over and over again which is why you see me wearing the same pieces on this channel and this is I didn't know it is such a liberating feeling and since I started doing that I feel a lot happier I actually I sold my designer shoes the heels I kept true designer bags which actually I never I never wear and yeah I started looking into vintage which totally max makes me happy but vintage isn't always I mean you have to be very careful and really pay attention where the vintage piece was made so I really look into pieces that are made here in this country and I when I buy new things but buy a lot less a lot less I buy things that are made here in this country or in the EU and I know I have many many subscribers from Australia Canada the yes and I'm sure there are many amazing brands that's produced in your country and you know I told myself I rather buy less and it is good quality and I'm willing to pay more because the conditions the pieces were made are ok and I want to show you things I really love this style my style is I find it hard to describe its quirky romantic playful vintage inspired from time to time and I really love the English country style so I'm showing you what I think is if you like that style what I think is essential to have and today I want to show you which style I really like what kind defines me and which shops I buy from and I hope that's helpful so I'm going to show you some of my absolute favorite outfits that I think are very very timeless and I'm starting with this style which is very I really love tweets and I absolutely love wearing these tweet trousers that are from a brand called walkers later here in the UK I really love styling those with the amazing grows that literally go with everything they go with skirts and dresses as well and they are very very comfortable and I really like combining this style with a very nice waistcoat and a tweed jacket and of course a very nice eye catcher is the Victorian blouse with a peter pan collar that I obsessed with I can't stop wearing it and the blouse is from a brand called Great Scott in Scotland mate there as well it's absolutely amazing and if that is too much for you you could also this is another blouse rain Great Scott which looks simple but has a very nice sleeve detail so that's amazing as well I'm very very comfortable louses and it's very fitted and I can really recommend this shop it's amazing and the tweet code you've seen before is from Great Scott as well and the most timeless code you can have actually the second outfit I just changed skirt and shoes and the skirt is from one of my favorite shops as well in Scotland it's called hazard borough and very well kind of a traditional yet timeless timeless skirt and I combined this outfit with my favorite shoes that probably some of you are tired of seeing I wear these shoes with everything and they always look amazing and I think I need to get a second pair because I wear them so often and they are from cording of Piccadilly just like the proofs you've seen before those are Road boots and uh they are amazing they are really comfortable and literally they go with everything and yeah this is a style that you can't go wrong with so many people on the street asking where did you get those shoes and I think really I mean I am so used to though that I I just find them normal so I'm always a bit surprised that people keep asking me but yeah it's fine I mean it's absolutely fine and I also have to tell you more about this bag this is a tweet bag that yoke and I got in Scotland from a shop called Lovett mill this is a single piece which don't remember and think it cost about 70 pounds something and the shot was amazing a tweet shop brought in the Scottish Borders and I link everything down below in the description box so if you want to have a look you can't buy online from the VAT mill but if you decide to go to the Scottish Borders or Scotland in general I mean it's a beautiful country I can highly recommend going there and I remember when we talked to the shop owner we found out that they actually make treat for Chanel which was amazing and I really love this bag because it's so special because it's it just exists once it has the perfect size and that's why I have I stopped buying designer bags because I think at the end of the day they are mass-produced as well often produced in China and not the best quality anymore and I don't want to support that I'd rather support small mills small brands and think I don't need the late I don't need to have a label on my bags so that people think ah she has got money at all I I don't need that anymore somehow I I don't know it's I absolutely okay with that if that if that makes any sense Attaway the next outfit which is fame it's a bit an essential if you live in this country or if you're a sucker for the English country style this is a tweet skirt from house of Fuhrer that I always wear it's it's very flattering a line is one of my favorite styles anyway again you can see the broke boots that are amazing and I actually get so many questions about this shed this is from a British shop called proper house they have really nice stuff this is the question with a hunting scene I absolutely love that and I styled that with a very nice and beautiful silk scarf that these from Claire hackers really worth checking out also made here amazing quality beautiful prints and a must-have and regarding the Brocklehurst shirt if you love shirts like that within that just screen English country style I can recommend Brocklehurst like them so this is a brand called Gibson and perfect in Scotland that makes the most beautiful shirt so I bought this fox print shirt I think two years ago and I loved it so so much it's really really nice and that's what goes with a tweet skirt with a tree tweet trousers it's beautiful I absolutely adore it in the next outfit you see my tweed skirt again and an essential in this country Hunter boots these ones are the tall under boots which are absolutely perfect for traveling because they are foldable and yeah I love that they are red because it makes a dark and dreary day a bit more colorful and as you can see wearing a fair isle jumper here this one is from tor dings of Piccadilly as well if you want to get an original they are made in Scotland and and absolutely must have and a complete classic and timeless piece so this one is from Corden's of Piccadilly absolutely beautiful but I have some others to show you as well if you want to have a fair isle jumper I can also recommend barber so I have this one from barber and basically the same just an another color this one absolutely gorgeous for the countryside and for winter and I also have I love this one as well this one this is from a brand called cabbages and roses I love this brand yoke and I stayed in in a very nice property last year was it 2018 and I really love shopping at cabbages and roses from time to time because they also have bedding and stuffs a really worth checking out and their property the little little apartment where you can stay at these in some sets very close to Earth and bases on their premises of the founder of cabbages and roses Christina stopped and really really nice I can highly recommend it and it's beautiful she has the most loveliest dog as well water who will pay you a visit if you stay there it's very nice and yeah and as you can see I have my tweet back again if you love tweet I can also recommend the shop Chapman this kind of rucksack completely timeless as well and really worth checking out beautiful and a very nice sized tooth and I completed this outfit with with a wax jacket of wax jacket is a must-have for the English country style and the most beautiful ones you can find I think at bother so I would look that if you want out of wax jackets the next outfit is basically my current favorite and it's very quirky and English country style but I love it very much the blouse with their belt and the waistcoat are from great Scotland Scotland again which are really really lovely and I'm wearing beautiful so called plus fours from tweet from retweet material very very light tweed great quality from Walker's later they are absolutely beautiful and again you can see my brokes I absolutely do love this outfit it's wonderful and the next outfit is basically the dress I'm wearing today which is a vintage Laura Ashley dress and I wasn't aware that Laura Ashley vintage of vintage Laura Ashley tresses made such a you to come back obviously they are very popular um which I that wasn't the reason I bought it it's just because I really love this this is even made in the UK it was I think I paid 34 pounds for it it's amazing quality i I adored very very much and again I combined this dress with my brown boots you can see they go with everything I'm wearing them in the next Club as well which address and this dress is blade has always been a favorite of mine I love played because I think it just never goes out of style and this amazing dress is from a very very tiny brand called yesterday's girl they are based here and to make a very limited number of dresses here in the UK and beautiful absolutely timeless and amazing I'm so in love with this dress and I can't stop wearing it and as for dresses I fell in love with a brand called thunder floor which is based in Lithuania they are now on Instagram as well really worth looking into they make linen dresses the brand was founded by two sisters and they started with very night with a very nice dress with a Peter Pan corner and they are I've never been into linen but when I started I remember when I ordered my first dress from them in red which is for summer absolutely stunning it looks beautiful I remember whenever I worried people want to know where did you get that dress and yeah it's astonishing and it looks so beautiful and you know I really want to support this brand because they sauce their material in the country or in the EU and they're the dresses are made from people with hearing disorders which is I just think really nice to support and as you can see I'm also how I also have a mustard dress a mustard linen dress which is absolutely and has long sleeves and I've really loved wearing those two dresses they are regarding dresses if you want to buy new dresses please this is my my absolutely my number one brand to be honest and they are a bit I don't know it whenever I wear them I feel a bit like Jane Austen just a little bit I wear the dress with brokes I I don't know I got these rogues many years ago six seven years ago and I find them so special they are beautiful and if you want to help brokes I also can really recommend just plain black ones I wear them our black ones with this Rhett's on the floor dress it looks beautiful absolutely beautiful and also when it comes to shoes and well I can read I recommend rose and the probe boots but also chelsea boots which by the way totally works with this on the floor dresses this combined with this looks beautiful absolutely gorgeous and also regarding well if you know if you like me and just don't want to have a designer handbag but still something special I can really recommend them Cambridge Satchel Company the bags but the bags are made here in the UK here and I bought this short two years ago and they offer personalization as well and oranges I mean a lot cheaper than a designer bag yet not everybody has it and it's special I think I remember very well when I made the decision one and a half years ago not to step in my nerves are and coat again and I've never looked back and I mean I would never point fingers and not everybody not everything applies to everybody not everybody is in the position to buy more expensive stuff I know that I just wanted to let you know how I this is how I found my style it's been a very long journey not always an easy one but at the end of the day it made me so much happier and I hope you like this video I will I will link everything down below for you and the
