image

If you love the thrill of finding the perfect vintage piece or get inspired by upcycling family heirlooms, Jasmine_Lee is a creator you don’t want to miss. On November 19, 2024, Jasmine_Lee shared an intimate and stylish look into her world: a retro-inspired outfit, a heartwarming story, and the creative process that makes her personal style stand out. Let’s dive into her signature flair and see what made her latest “fit” so special.

The Story Behind the Style

Jasmine_Lee’s recent video starts with a relatable challenge: most of her beloved clothes and accessories are packed away in storage, waiting for the right moment to be rediscovered. For anyone who’s ever moved homes or shared wardrobe space with family, this scenario hits home. But for Jasmine_Lee, this isn’t just about clothes—it’s about memories, heritage, and self-expression.

“I got so many clothes from my nan who recently passed, so I’m gonna style another piece of hers, which is this vest.”

With her grandmother’s vintage vest as the starting point, Jasmine_Lee embarks on a creative journey. Each piece she styles, every accessory she selects, carries a legacy of love and connection, blending family tradition with a modern, retro twist.

Creating a Unique Retro Outfit—Step by Step

Jasmine_Lee’s outfit assembly proves that finding your own style is all about experimentation and having fun, no matter what’s in your closet right now.

Styling Details & Thought Process

  • White Shirt with a Twist: Not just any white shirt—this one features a heart-shaped cutout with mesh at the back, adding an element of playful surprise.
  • Mixing and Matching: She tries different layering options—a vest from her nan, a striped collared shirt partly tucked for a deliberately imperfect vibe, and thoughtful color contrasts.
  • Switching Up the Accessories: Jasmine_Lee isn’t afraid to swap out pieces that don’t work. She admits when she’s not obsessed with a choice, then tries a black belt, a new shirt, and even festive deer earrings. Pearls, a black bag, and big sunnies round out the final look.
  • Embracing Imperfection: Not every piece fits perfectly, and that’s okay! When her belt with gold details is too big, she simply grabs a pearl necklace instead. She’s not afraid to adapt and improvise.

Bullet Point Outfit Recap:

  • Nan’s vintage vest
  • White shirt with heart-shaped mesh cutout
  • Blue and red color pops
  • Black belt & shirt option
  • Striped collared shirt, one side tucked
  • Pearl necklace, black bag, and big sunglasses
  • Quirky deer earrings for festive flair

Whether it’s putting together an outfit for a holiday party, everyday errands, or just self-expression, Jasmine_Lee encourages everyone to:

  • Shop their own closet (and maybe their family’s!)
  • Mix old and new pieces
  • Express themselves with bold accessories or color combos

Most of my clothes and accessories are in a storage container

00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
right now. They’ve been in there for 5 months,

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
but I’m getting it back very soon cause my sister just moved out.

00:00:07 --> 00:00:10
But I got so many clothes from my nan who recently passed

00:00:10 --> 00:00:13
so I’m gonna style another piece of hers,

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
which is this vest. Let’s try this white little shirt first.

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
But it’s not just any white shirt.

00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
Look at the back.

00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
It’s got a love heart cut out at the back with like mesh all around it.

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
How cute is this? This is the top.

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
So cute. Trying to decide if I should button it up.

00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
The buttons start pretty low.

00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
I don’t like these pants. Like the crutch just falls way too low.

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
Oh, I’m loving the blue with the red.

00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
You know what? I’m not obsessed with this.

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
Let me change something. Let’s try a black belt,

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
black shirt. I have this striped collared shirt,

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
tuck one side in like that

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
and then hopefully this will look nice on top.

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
Yeah, I think this works.

00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
You know what? Let’s get into the Christmas spirit.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
I’ve got these little deer earrings with way too many legs.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
Have this belt with gold details that would literally go perfectly,

00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
but it’s too big for me and I’m not bothered to like make a hole

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
so it’s going with the pearl necklace and a black bag.

00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
I’m gonna go with the big sunnies today.

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
This is the outfit. What do you think?

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
I like it. Thanks for watching. Bye.
