Oh wait because of the pandemic she couldn't get a stylist....

Literally stop talking. This really isn't it at all.

Also, after the first like 4 months LA (and most of the USA) returned to some version of normal (with some ebb and flow in some areas who responded at all to spikes in cases), so like how couldn't she have a stylist for 2 years? And a stylist can work remotely and watch you dress over video chat, and you can have the clothes couriered to you from them after they make selections. I'm sure there are some aspects of a stylist that you couldn't access at certain times during the pandemic (like them physically dressing/fitting you and making minor adjustments) but COME ON! It's not like you were left in a dark room by yourself with no access to anyone else

She could have just got a zoom stylist. Idk this seems like something for therapy. She comes across really tone deaf given people were dying during this time.

I couldn’t help myself and checked her IG (first time) and she’s literally been travelling the entire pandemic except for maybe the first 2-4 months.

Girl, you couldn’t get stylist because of Covid but you could travel cross-country and internationally? The airport and planes were safer than having a single person near you in a private setting?

MTE. I could maybe see not having a makeup artist or hair stylist being an issue, but a clothes stylist? The clothes stylist can totally do what you suggested.

You're right there's a limitation with any alterations, but with athleisure trend, which I think Bella wears, clothes don't have to fit perfectly to look good.

My friend is a stylist and he worked. She’s a liar. 😂. This is all so stupid.

She didn't mention covid or that being the reason she doesn't have a stylist.

Then I’m confused. What’s the reasoning? If she’s doing it as a test or personal challenge then why not say that? For a 2 year timeframe Covid seems to be the only link to this.

"Do you have a secret to putting together a great outfit in the morning?

I haven’t had a stylist in a long time, maybe two years now. I was in such a weird place mentally that it was really complicated for me to get out of the house and put an outfit together, especially with the anxiety of [paparazzi] being outside and all that. In the last year, it was really important for me to learn that even if people talk about my style or if they like it or if they don’t, it doesn’t matter, because it’s my style. When I leave the house in the morning, what I think about is: Does this make me happy? Do I feel good in this and do I feel comfortable?"

To me this says, she used to have a stylist because going outside and being seen without being styled gave her a lot of anxiety. But she's worked through that now and for that reason hasn't had a stylist in about 2 years.

This whole post just took the quote and made it something else entirely..
