- I'm dressed up cute.
And for what? I don't do anything.
I stay at my home.
I draw. I sometimes play ukulele.
(relaxed music)
Hello, friends.
Today, I'm going to be doing a video
that I have been meaning to do for the longest time.
I've had this video idea for a while, and it is dressing
like my bullet journal spreads for a week.
If you're new to this channel, first, of course, welcome.
But I do bullet journal spreads every single month
where there's kind of a theme and a color palette.
And I create these, like, drawings and doodles
and designs based off of that theme.
And it's kind of become an inside joke
on my channel and social medias
that I unintentionally match my bullet journal spreads
each month.
So I thought it would be fun
if I actually did it on purpose
and took some fashion inspiration
from my own bullet journal artwork.
We have plenty to choose from.
I've been doing bullet journal themes for four years now,
so it might be hard to pick one.
Fashion is something that I've always loved.
If you guys didn't know, my channel, way back in the day,
used to be, like, a fashion channel.
And I still, like, kind of show you guys
my outfits here and there on Instagram,
but I feel like I never really get to showcase
that much on my YouTube channel.
So now we're, like, mixing the art and bullet journal stuff
with the fashion, and hopefully it'll be
a fun and entertaining video.
It is currently Monday, first day of the week.
And first off, we have to decide which bullet journal theme
that we are going to do.
All right.
So here are my babies.
This is four years of bullet journals and memories
and themes and ideas all packed up into these little books.
There are many themes to choose from,
but I think for Monday, and for the very first outfit,
I'm going to go with the theme that actually inspired me
to do this video in the first place.
This was a while back.
This was May, 2019, with the butterfly theme,
which I'll put a picture on here.
The reason why that theme inspired this video
is because at the time in May, 2019, almost a year ago,
I had came across this shirt
that had the exact same butterflies,
and on Instagram, I was like, lol, guys,
look, I match my bullet journal, da da da da.
Here it is, guys.
I am definitely going to be wearing this shirt,
because how can I not?
It matches so perfectly.
But I'm also just going to try to match
the overall vibe of the spread.
Obviously, as we go through this week,
I'm not going to have an exact matching shirt
for every single spread that I do.
So just in general, I'm going to try to match the vibe.
And for this one, I feel like it's more quirky,
and, I'll let you know, kind of girly and bold.
So let me try some things on,
and I'll see what I come up with.
I have these butterfly clips,
like the old school clips that you used to put in your hair,
and I've been seeing people do this thing
where they just clip them kind of like all along their hair.
And it's very, like, 2000s esque, with, like,
a braid at the front.
I don't know whether I can pull that look off,
but we're going to attempt.
Am I TikTok yet?
I've been very into TikTok lately,
and I love that people just kind of have fun
with fashion on there.
I might end up making a TikTok for this whole video.
Well, I think that looks kind of cute.
I don't know. I can't tell.
That is the completed look.
I'm also wearing white Nike Air Force 1s.
I don't usually wear shoes in the house,
but just for the purposes of this video
to show you guys the full look, I will be.
(mellow music)
What do I do now?
I'm dressed up cute, and for what?
I don't do anything.
I stay at my home.
I draw, I sometimes play ukulele.
What am I this cute for? I don't know.
Maybe I'll just go walk outside
and pretend like I have somewhere to go.
Just so that I can justify having an outfit on.
(mellow music)
I just remembered something that could be fun.
So, recently we created an Instagram filter
that is like, what Amanda RachLee
bullet journal theme are you?
And I thought, you know,
I'm literally dressting like my bullet journal.
So every day that I do this,
I'm going to do the Instagram filter,
and hopefully one of these days,
the Instagram filter actually gets the correct theme.
All right, let's see which one I get.
I'm literally wearing May, so better get it right.
Nope. It was a fail.
All right, so, it is Tuesday, day two of dressing
like my bullet journal.
Last night, while I was laying in bed,
I was trying to figure out which theme
I was going to dress up as and how I was going to choose it.
So, you guys know, I love coffee, I'm addicted.
I will probably end up going to a coffee shop later today.
And I figured, you know, why not create an outfit based
off of my November theme, the coffee theme.
I have a lot of these, like, neutral colors in my closet.
So, I think this one will be really, really easy
for me to recreate.
Honestly, there's a lot of options
that I think I can go for,
but I think I want to go for, like, a classy vibe.
I feel like yesterday's outfit was very cutesy and girly.
What I'm envisioning for this outfit is, like,
a classy girl who goes to the coffee shop,
is, you know, on the go,
but you know, she's cool.
She's effortless.
She's chic, she's a coffee drinker.
Let's go and see what I have in my closet.
So, this is what happens when you go through
your entire closet to find an outfit
that matches your bullet journal.
Yeah, it's all on my couch right now.
Hello. I think I found something, though.
It's so hard to get a full body shot in my apartment.
Okay, wait.
I actually really like this outfit.
I feel like, oh, I almost fell over
I guess that's kind of one thing that's good
about this challenge, is that it forces me to come up with
new, fun outfit ideas that I normally wouldn't
pair together, inspired by my bullet journal.
But anyway, I have this coffee colored, loose blazer
that I thought matched the coffee vibes very well.
And then I have, like, cream colored outfit underneath.
So this beige turtleneck,
and then I also have these, like, loose, wide leg,
cream pants.
I also put my hair up in this claw clip type of thing.
I've been loving doing this with my hair,
especially when I'm too lazy to wash it
or to you know, style it.
So, it just makes you look a lot more effortless.
I feel like it goes with this look.
I'm wearing gold jewelry to add to that classy vibe.
But overall, I feel like I like the vibe,
definitely gives me, like, fashion blogger
or fashion editor at a magazine,
running to a coffee shop, grabbing her,
like, double espresso.
She's on the go.
Also I put this little scarf tied around my purse
to add to the outfit.
This definitely matches.
I am going to show you guys a full shot of the outfit,
but I figured, instead of doing it in my apartment,
I would do it outside,
because I'm going to go meet my friend.
And we'll probably end up going to a coffee shop
because this outfit calls for that.
And I'll take my pictures there.
Even though I actually already have a coffee here.
I just need another. Let's head out.
(mellow music)
Hello, it is Wednesday. Happy Wednesday.
I'm eating a bagel for breakfast.
Today's outfit is actually inspired by my March, 2020
bullet journal setup, The monstera leaf theme.
I realized I hadn't done a outfit based on a 2020 theme yet,
because both Monday and Tuesday were 2019.
So, I decided to go for this one.
It's one of my favorite setups from this year,
and this is the outfit that I have to match it.
I feel like the vibes for this setup
were definitely very aesthetic
with, like, the neutral green tones going on.
To match the vibes, I'm wearing this, like, green silk shirt
that has this tie in the front.
And then also this green plaid skirt.
Sorry, I'm pointing at myself with a bagel.
But this green plaid skirt actually has
some brown tones in it, which I felt matched
the vibes of the spread 'cause I used
some mustard brown tones in that setup as well.
And overall, I feel like I was just trying to emulate
that, like, aesthetic, soft girl look to match the setup.
I even wore these earrings that kind of have a face on it
'cause I feel like it matched the design of the spread.
I have this picnic basket sort of bag
that is also brown tone, kind of like
the leaves in the setup.
And I feel like it goes with the outfit,
like very picnic aestheta.
Today, you know, I'm going to do all the things
that an aesthetic girl would do,
one of those, like, Instagram bloggers
that always is at cool places or something.
I forgot, I need to do my Instagram filter
to see if it gets it right.
Hold on. Which Amanda RachLee bullet journal theme am I?
Oh, so close. Okay.
You know what? I'll take the win.
I'll take the win on this one. Close enough.
Also, I'm filming this, like, outfit TikTok
for this whole video.
You guys will see it, probably.
TikToks are hard to film.
I don't know how you guys do this, but, like, I'm trying.
All right, we're at Allan Gardens in Toronto.
If you guys don't know what it is,
it's just, like, this large greenhouse that you can tour.
Whoa, so cool in here.
A little bird house.

Happy Thursday, everyone.
It is day four of me dressing like my bullet journal
for a week.
And for today, I thought I would go back into the archives
and choose a theme that I did from the very beginning,
the one that started it all, February, 2017.
I actually started bullet journaling January, 2017.
But the very first bullet journal set up video,
like the monthly plan with these,
that you guys know today, started February, 2017.
And that theme was roses, this one right here.
As you can see, my old school bullet journal,
I have it still from then.
This baby is almost four years old, which is crazy.
I have the outfit on right now.
I think it's pretty cute.
I thought this shirt was perfect for it.
It kind of has this flower pattern all over it
with some red flowers that kind of matched the roses.
My spreads were a lot more chill,
which is nice to look back on and reflect.
So, I kind of went from more of a casual outfit.
I put on a t-shirt underneath the tank top.
I know that Y2K throwback fashion is kind of in right now.
So, I decided to kind of go for that.
I have, like, these baby pigtails,
kind of like Spice Girls esque, and also this choker.
I actually made this beaded choker.
And then I also have some ripped jeans,
which you guys can't see.
I feel like it's very chill, casual outfit, Y2K.
I don't know.
I know I did this theme in 2017, which is not Y2K,
but in my head, 2017 was ages ago.
So, that's how I'm justifying it.
I know it's not perfectly on theme, but as I mentioned,
I wanted to kind of get the overall vibe
and also create everyday outfits that match
my bullet journal setups, not just, like,
me wearing all rose print or something like that.
It kind of hurts my soul to wear shoes in the house,
but for the purposes of this video
and to show you guys the full outfit, I will.
Don't worry, though. I will clean it up after.
This is the fit.
I feel like I'm back in my high school days,
filming lookbooks.
If you guys have seen any of my old videos,
then you'll understand that.
I actually do really like this outfit.
I think this one might be my favorite
out of all of them so far.
Anyway, today's a pretty chill day,
which I guess kind of fits with the outfit.
I'm just going to be finishing up a lot of work
and then maybe I'll take a walk to the park
or something later in the afternoon.
Happy Thursday. Let's get it.
It's probably the last few days of nice weather
we're going to get, but it suddenly got,
just really beautiful, and we're just enjoying it.
(jazzy music)
Happy Friday, friends.
I mean, it's probably not Friday when you're watching this,
but it's Friday now.
I've reached the end of this
dressing as my bullet journal week.
Yes, I'm not doing the weekend.
Five outfits is enough for me.
Even as I was putting together today's outfit,
I was like, I feel like I've lost all ability
to tell whether an outfit is actually good or not,
just because I've been thinking so much
about outfits this whole week,
and trying to match it to my bullet journal spreads.
To me, when I think of Friday,
I always think of, like, you know, end of the week,
maybe going out with friends, doing stuff.
So, I wanted to go for something a bit more edgy.
A lot of the looks that we did this week
were definitely more on the girlier side.
Today's outfit is definitely the most me outfit.
It's black and white, which should give you a hint
as to what theme I am recreating on my body.
I'm going to give you guys some time to guess.
This is the outfit.
What theme do you think I'm recreating right now?
Guess right now in the comments.
Giving you time to put your answer.
If your answer was October, 2019, moon phases theme,
then you would be correct.
So this is one of the very few themes
that I've done that are completely black and white,
no color.
I thought it would go perfectly with Friday's outfit
because this whole week was very colorful.
And in my everyday life, like my usual style,
it's very monochromatic.
I rarely wear color too, too much.
So, you know, I decided to go for this theme.
I thought it would work well.
So as I can say this theme, I did a lot of, like,
black paper stuff, half black, half white.
So, my outfit today is perfectly half black, half white.
I also am going to be wearing this bucket hat.
I have on these, like, leather pants,
which I thought were kind of spunky
and definitely, like, nighttime vibes, Catwoman or Batman.
White shirt that has these ties on the side
and this white crop jacket.
And of course my bucket hat and some boots.
This is the full fit.
That is today's black and white fit.
I actually don't have too much to do today.
I'm just going to get some work done.
And then maybe later at night, I'll go out
and get some bubble tea with a friend or something.
I feel like today's activities should be at night
or in the evening to go with the moon phases.
(funky music)
So that wraps up a full week of me
dressing like my bullet journal.
I'm going to count this as a success.
It actually was really, really fun.
I don't know.
It also just forced me to think of my bullet journal themes
and have them inspire my actual real life,
'cause usually I have my real life inspire my art,
if that makes sense.
But, this week, it was backwards.
I actually really did like the outfits
that we came up with this week.
Let me know which one was your guys' favorite down below.
And also let me know if you guys want to see a part two.
Clearly, I have many bullet journal themes
to choose from.
I literally have four years worth of themes,
so it could be fun to do a part two
if you guys really enjoyed it.
I think that's pretty much it for this video.
So, have a great week.
Keep doodling. Bye.
