Ciao everyone! Today I’m sharing 5 spring staples Italians always wear. These are alternatives to “timeless” wardrobe staples for Spring 2025. I think there is pressure that wardrobe “essentials” need to be basic. But in today’s video, I’m sharing why our essentials should be the pieces that bring us the most joy and express how we want to feel and present ourselves – and how these special items can still be versatile! The best part is: we already probably have these essentials in our wardrobe! These are also easy style rules and wardrobe essentials to dress like an Italian for Spring (even if you aren’t one!). As always, it’s not about adding these specific pieces to our wardrobes, but using these as ideas to create new outfits without overconsumption! *LINKS TO BELOW*
Thank you for watching,
Alyssa

On this channel, I share #slowfashion and #sustainablefashion tips that center around how to #shopyourcloset, and loving who you are and what you already have. I also spotlight brands that I believe in every now and then. I believe in #creativityoverconsumption, and that we all have the power to be conscious consumers.
Slow fashion looks different for everyone, and I’m so grateful you share this space with me!

Hi everyone! So glad you’re enjoying this video! So many of you are asking about my brown jacket – HERE is the link: https://seza.ne/Qe3hTJXAFa (affiliate!) I don’t normally link to product because most of my closet is old or secondhand and because my goal is always for you to get ideas to shop your own closet first, HOWEVER, if you’re going to add something, I want it to be something I know will add value! There are links to the other essentials in the description. xx
Are you showing your brass with the yellow shirt?
Everything in your wardrobe is either secondhand or old and it certainly looks that way.
Seeing this a year after you posted. Loved that short jacket!!! And the whole video.
I’d love to find a piece like your yellow blouse, But I’m 5’1″ and 115 or so pounds. It’s so hard to find something that’s usually oversized on most, but swim on those of us who are smaller. I have found some great things in consignment stores, since sizing used to be smaller – but any brands you can point me to, I’d really appreciate. It’s hard to find one that doesn’t just make me look more “precious” at my size.
