Christina, over the years it appears that you always store your denim folded. Does this have anything to do with the preservation of the denim itself? Or is this purely based on maximizing your specific storage spaces? I hang my denim, but sometimes I wonder if clamping a pant-hanger onto the waist of denim stresses or stretches the waist. 🤔🤔🤔

I love to spend on shoes! Partially because they are my favorite part of the fit, but I also am very active at home and work. I walk a lot and stand a lot, so my shoes need to be good quality too. I will usually save on tees, although most of my tees are from Everlane. I used to be cheap on my jeans, but I've been spending a little more on jeans that fit my body shape.

in “the conscious closet” i read that with basic items that are super common (t shirts, button ups, tanks) the construction has been so standardized and perfected across the industry that really the only thing that can change as you pay more is the fabric & brand ethics, but that basically a $10 t shirt is going to be just as well made as an $80 t shirt in most cases, whereas more complex things, like dress pants, the construction can change drastically by price point! i think my h&m pants vs my aritzia pants and the difference is a LOT

Thanks to my culture, solid high quality gold is a must and as I got older, I appreciate my grandmother and mom's advice and gifts. Another area most of us Canadians invest in is coat and yes shoes, so important for foot health.

I agree with your spend vs save items. Living in Eastern Ontario, we get all four seasons also. I am a thrifter, I am usually able to find great coats/blazers, button downs and cashmere sweaters from the thrift store. At times, even great shoes. I agree also the quality of the vintage/thrifted items tend to be better than new. Thrifting is also better for the environment, I re-donate all my clothes so the cycle can begin again. It was funny the other day, every item I was wearing to work except for the under garments was bought secondhand.

I definitely spend on shoes too, also denim, and underwear. Good quality underwear makes a huge difference on how you feel in your clothes. I also spend on jewellery, although I go years without buying any since I can always wear my existing pieces. If you have trouble spending on jewellery, it's a great birthday gift idea if you're ok with receiving quality over quantity.

Spend: bras, most shoes, the odd “special” piece to feel “elevated” in. Save: most things, esp. sportswear, basics (T-shirts, base layer tops), slippers/casual shoes I know I’ll probably destroy quickly (eg the one pair of day-to-evening sandals I take on a beach holiday - they get a lot of wear, just over a short timeframe)

10/10 agree that winter coats should be bought with an eye to materials and what’ll keep you warm. Same thing with winter base layers and long underwear. I’ve started seeing more and more people trying to do winter sports wearing polyester base layers instead of something that’ll keep them properly warm. I’ve also been finding it increasingly harder to find wool tights. Pretty much the only brands that I can find them from now are companies that specifically specialize in wool garments, and many of those brands will only sell socks and not true tights.

Totally agree with spending on quality jewelry! In my family, it was common for the girls to get 14k jewelry as gifts for the holidays, so I learned about the value of fine jewelry from a young age and never got into costume jewelry that I knew wouldn't last. The only item you listed I personally wouldn't splurge on is jeans. I have thick thighs, and it hasn't mattered what brand of denim I've purchased, my jeans always end up with holes in the inner thigh area. So it makes no sense for me to spend more than I need to. I also am not into experimenting with different cuts of jeans (I pretty much only wear skinny jeans), so since jeans aren't really my *thing,* I haven't cared much to get into the world of more expensive, designer denim.

One thing I’ve become happy to splurge on is bras and bathing suits! I don’t fit into the most widely available sizes, so I found a local woman owned bra boutique and not only do my clothes fit differently with a well-fitted bra, but shopping for these items is now super fun. I’m also more likely to spend more on footwear and outerwear as well, since I also live in the Toronto area and we definitely have a need for those things lol

With that I like spending a little more coin on a nice purse since it helps me control my shopping impulses. I find I’m less likely to buy buy buy if I’m buying quality over quantity at that point. I will agree with you, I’m not going to spend 40$ for a T-shirt I’m fine with 15-20$ in that area. I’m also there with you on cheap earrings, they hurt my ears. Good or surgical quality all the way. I don’t mind, again it just helps me to spend less overall. Thanks for the video, stay warm and have a terrific day!✨💜

100% shoes, comfort and warmth/coolness. We too have four seasons and two can be particularly extreme. So warmth in winter and light, cool natural in summer that doesn’t show too much cleavage or otherwise is a must. Shoes because I like walking for hours. I rarely throw out because with care and just minor repairs to heels they just go on. Obviously they get switched seasonally. Cashmere jumpers or cardis, layering pieces and cotton or linen are workhorses. Viscose is great too. I add some trends but try to make sure they are a keeper and work with what I use.

The big place that I spend money in my wardrobe is my black leggings! They're my daily pant, and I wear them hard, so it's absolutely worth the money for me to buy quality. I've been buying the same brand for a while now, and while painfully expensive, they're the only ones I've found that hold up to my thick thighs, lifestyle, and are also sustainably produced. I try for that when I can, but it's just not always practical. But since I'm wearing them nearly daily, and for multiple jobs, the cost per wear goes down quick. The other things I'll splurge a little on are my dancewear basics, bras, and my daily jewelry. I'm in a dance studio many days a week, between teaching and continuing my education, so having quality leotards, shoes, and tights is a must. Anything else, and I'm bargain shopping. Skirts, layers, and warm-ups are optional, and don't get worn as hard, so I get those for as cheap as I can. Jewelry, I'm of two minds about. I was willing to spend a pretty penny for the jewelry I got pierced with, because that's going to be living in my body for a long time, and be my daily jewelry afterward. But novelty earrings, and most necklaces or bracelets are getting bought for cheaper these days. I like supporting small businesses, so I'll spend a little more for that, but I just don't wear it often enough to spend a ton! And bras kind of go without explanation. I'm larger chested, and I'm willing to pay for the good stuff there. I do occasionally splurge on fun graphic tees or sweatshirts from small businesses. But otherwise, I built my wardrobe on a pretty tight budget. Lots of thrift store stuff. In future, I will spend more on coats and shoes, but right now my thrifted or old ones are holding up fine.

Everything else I treat on a piece by piece basis. I like good material viscose and bamboo as it is soft but it does unfortunately last so long but I can't really wear wool or cashmere due to sensitive skin - I have a blazer and one sweater. I like organic cotton too. I try to stay away from polyester and acrylic but I have an acrylic cardi-coat which is lovely and is on its 16th year now and I can't see me ever getting rid of it.

I used to always be able to pay "mid range" for "mid range" quality but price is a terrible way to gauge quality anymore. Even for shoes. That (and being very tall and having things like skinny ankles, etc.) is why I always shop in person. I look for soft breathable fabrics and for stitching or things that seem to be sturdy. I've seen $300 polyester shirts where thread were already coming loose and I've gotten shirts on sale for $5 that have lasted years. It's hard to find shoes that are still sturdy and flexible. They're just made with crappier quality even though price is going up, even on "classic" styles.

Metal allergies are no joke, I had a mix of solid gold, gold plater and sterling silver jewellery and I have developed an allergy. Now I found myself unable to wear anything, even titanium, without developing painful infections.

My favorite trick with denim (and this works at least in America) is to shop at outdoorsy stores! In Oregon there's a Bi-Mart with a hunting and working clothing section, and you can get high quality denim that is also sized based on waist/leg size! The styles are a bit more limited than other retailers, but I have found multiple pairs of my favorite straight leg jeans at hunting/hiking/outdoorsy stores in America. And of course there are painters pants and carpenters pants if you want that look. If you're ever in Oregon, check out Bi-Mart ! (Pants usually are 30-60 bucks)

I don't wear blazers as much as I use to. Now I love belted midi length cardigans. That is a splurge for me. Bags are hit or miss. Shoes now that I am older are splurges. Foundational pieces are definitely becoming a splurge. I am adding some nice pjs and maybe 2 more dresses. Because I am minimal I splurge so items last longer in my closet.
