For my convenience and because I know I will need it later: 1:08 It‘s full of your fantasy self 3:20 Your wardrobe is a mess 4:40 You have too much stuff 5:50 Lack of planning 6:50 You may be shopping too much 8:00 Thinking that you need to look different every day 9:05 You‘re too focused on the rules 10:45 You‘re buying too much of the same 12:00 You don’t know what you want your wardrobe to say (about you) 14:20 You care too much about what other people think

[@My_Secret_ArtSketchbook]

BINGO 😮What the heck this is what I typed in comments section of most videos I watched

[@RenMar1108]

As a 63 year old ever evolving woman, once I gave myself permission to allow my style to grow and change right along with me, my enjoyment of expression through fashion grew exponentially. There have been times in my life when I’ve been the suit to the office gal but there have also been boho long hair years or times when I really really loved hiking boots and button downs. Let yourself grow, change….just be!

[@TTaddicted]

This is some great advice! Thank you! I am going to try this.

[@yifatjovani333]

I love it!!

[@triciaf8261]

I am newly retired (65) and did a closet reorganization to merge my "work" vs "casual" wardrobe and have purged off some fantasy and/or tool small or maybe some day clothing. Every hanger was turned backwards and I am proceeding to truly see what works for this new phase. I know I will continue to declutter and buy pieces (hopefully for travel)

[@ednasimon1661]

❤

[@ritahenderson6771]

Love your comment and can definitely relate. I am 57 and have started to change my wardrobe and style for the past two years. Now I am having fun with getting dressed and it makes me feel good to be creative with what I wear. I just discovered this channel. She certainly speaks my fashion language! 🥰🙋🏻‍♀️

[@wanda12411]

I finally stopped shopping for my fantasy self by asking one question. Will I wear this tonight or tomorrow? I noticed that my husband, who has a great wardrobe, would almost immediately wear what he just purchased whereas I would rarely wear new items. I finally realized I was shopping for fantasy me whereas my husband was shopping for his real life.

[@ManiGupta49]

My sister does the same thing. She has plenty of clothes which are new and she keeps them new in case “she has to go to see some relative or friend” and trust me, she hardly goes anywhere 😂. Whereas I wear new clothes if I want to. It’s okay to keep some clothes aside for special occasions but don’t wait much and wear them if you want to. 😊

[@Liznvx]

THIS IS MY REALITY! 💯

[@bosaubarbie]

The other edict I have inherited is "save things for best" - which you then never wear - my transition is to be my best and wear my most happy/ best - being a breast cancer survivor at 60 and having a HUGE clothes museum -it completely changed my view - I dress for me and myself - bedroom is an absolute nightmare whilst sorting but already donated several bags

[@CupCake-sc9eb]

me too.I love high heels and wore them before like everyday but now i work from home and i don't actually need them anymore so that was a tough decission to stop buying them.

[@ros8986]

I just bought an instant pot, air fryer, and vacuum sealer - I think I now have a fantasy kitchen

[@trishbech9082]

😂

[@AstarteRap]

😂😂😂

[@ifeomanwanze8289]

I was going to type this applies to kitchen appliances😂

[@ros8986]

PS they have all gone to new homes. BUT nobody gets my Oyama stainless steel rice cooker! (or my 25 lbs of organic buckwheat)

[@ine8179]

I "hate" my wardrobe because I hardly ever buy new clothes. I don't know what my style is, so I just buy basics that get me somewhere, but I'd like to have a style like almost everyone else.

[@annesmlr]

me too, i feel you !

[@dianagyuro2640]

I highly recommend you Aly Art, here in YT, and her extraordinary detailed videos to Kibbe’s typing. One thing is certain. No one can give you a 100% recipe. Try to get your Kibbe-type, look into the mirror, and it’s time to get to know yourself. The journey is not short, but it will be perhaps the most exciting journey of your life ☺️

[@The.Journey.to.Freedom]

I can definitely relate! It's easy to become overwhelmed by all the options and sizes and just revert back to the basics haha but I've been learning, we all deserve to find a wardrobe or create a wardrobe we feel good in! Which is partly why I ended up watching this video I think haha! Praying you find a style and wardrobe that makes you feel amazing!!!

[@Taxatoo]

The biggest reason I hate my wardrobe is that nothing fits well and I bought a bunch of items for a body type I don’t have any longer. I’m refusing to buy the right size clothing because it’s expensive to replace an entire wardrobe and I’m in denial. 😂 The struggle continues.

[@brendaashton6428]

Try buying just 2 outfits (4-6 pieces) that can be interchanged and put them front and centre in your closet. You have a right to feel great every day!

[@yifatjovani333]

How about you buy just even a few pieces that you'll know the moment you wear them you will feel amazing, just start with few not a whole wardrobe. It is so important that we wear clothes that look amazing on us now and not 10 years ago. You've got this!

[@JP-ve7or]

SAME. I have found, though, that the old (pre-skinny jean era) advice to pick clothes that skim your body--not too tight or too loose--is just perfect for my bigger body. Better quality pants are a good investment, too. Flimsy pants show off every lump and bump. Good luck!

[@Laminarot]

Is there an opportunity to alter some of the pieces you liked especially well to fit you again? Or make a new piece of clothing out of old and liked fabrics? It could bring back the joy of wearing them and would be super sustainable. Other ideas if the pieces are in good condition: organise a clothing swap with other people and/or sell your pre-loved items online to finance a new wardrobe. All the best!

[@gracieluf424]

I hang my MOST loved pieces around the house no joke. It’s inspiration to lose the weight and fit in them again or for the first time if it’s new.

[@janetfuller1900]

One big revolution for me to DECLUTTER was that I realized my style has just changed over the years. I kept clothes that I thought I still liked, but never wore. I had moved on. Tossed a lot of clothes over that. Don’t miss them.

[@patriciaellinghausen4365]

INSPIRING!

[@az6462]

THIS ! I struggle with the exact same thing

[@rhythmandblues_alibi]

I think my fantasy self just goes out a lot more than I actually do 😅 Whereas I mostly live in practical work clothes (physical labour, not office) or things that will work for being outdoors and around my horses. I like the idea of getting dressed even if you're not planning on going anywhere, I think that was from another video. I'm going to give it a try. Its very easy to just wear the same practical clothes every day and never get to wear my fun things.

[@beautyamongashes8378]

I hated my wardrobe because I just got SO BORED! I read a book “play” by Stuart Brown and Christopher Vaughan and it made me realize I needed to spend time just PLAYING with my wardrobe! So every Sunday afternoon I spend time just playing around and making absurd outfits and sometimes it actually works 😂 But play has been my fix for boredom!

[@vanillabear228]

I like this a lot! do you really plan to wear those outfits or is it just for fun?

[@yifatjovani333]

So good & so true!!😊

[@beautyamongashes8378]

Sometimes they are a disaster and just fun to play in but a lot more often than not, the outfits work better than expected and I end up wearing them and finding new favorites!

[@lacavernedesloups]

This is exactly how I feel about my wardrobe. Bored. I might try playing around this weekend and see how if it helps. Thanks for sharing

[@kathleenkaleookalanismith8724]

How fun!!!!!

[@aly9019]

My 2 main tips : Take a couple of hours to pre-prepare outfits out of what you have in your closet. Take pictures of the outfits you absolutely love (make sure you pair the WHOLE outfit, jacket and shoes included). Then wear the outfit out and edit the photos you took by adding a « score » out of 10 for example. After wearing all the outfits you’ll have a good idea of what not only LOOKS good’ but also what FEELS good Second tip is, if you wouldn’t pack it in your suitcase for a 2/3 week trip in Paris/London/New York/whatever city you’d dress nicely for if you were travelling, then pack that garment away. Don’t reach for it in the next 6/8 months ? Then you don’t need it 😉

[@g.m.4877]

Love this!

[@simransian9770]

Screenshoting this, amazing tips

[@madhumitadevivlogger4781]

I too took d screenshot for reference.... thank you for d great tip

[@PK-qw4hl]

Thus is exactly what I did yesterday and today my sister asked me why my clothes are all over. I prepare my clothes hours before going out in my mind

[@warren9583]

I'm a guy that likes my closet- so definitely not the target audience for this video- but you articulate your points so well I definitely learned something new.

[@patriciaellinghausen4365]

CLOSET CHAOS! = 3 kinds of life and style Country life denim +Real Estate Agent Classic +Musician / Performer stage and gig wear. =Too many clothes + too much shopping =wardrobe mess. you nailed it.

[@siaeva]

I love that you mentioned the fantasy self isn't necessarily a bad thing (which is all i've ever heard about it from other youtubers) - I personally found it really helpful to have this 'fantasy' blueprint to follow when I was updating my overall style :)

[@augusto7681]

Yeah I think my biggest problem is I buy for my fantasy self. I think "this new item will make me look cool and stylish" but then I just never use it because i feel uncofortable or it doesnt fit my body.

[@digitaldorothy]

Thank you! PS - the amount of B-roll in your vids is really well done. You can tell these take a long time to edit. Thanks for the work you put in! ❤

[@CorinnaOnTheRun]

Agree

[@marydimond3461]

I found I was the most discontent with my closet when I was in an ongoing shopping cycle. As I've slowed down on buying, I've been more selective when I buy something new, I've dedicated time to altering the clothing I already own, and I've developed a better understanding of my personal style. Another big one was focusing more on clothes/outfits that are practical for my day to day life.

[@elikesstrawberries9886]

I think sticking with a color palette is very helpful, for so many reasons! It helps curb impulse purchases, it helps you make sure if you add something it will "go" with several items, you will feel good in colors you like/know look good on you, it's easier to shop resell when you can sort by a color palette, etc etc!

[@aquaseahorselove3939]

Yes, this has been one of the most helpful things for me. I tend to love a warm palette and always feel off even when wearing neutral colors like gray and navy, but also hate wearing pinks and purples. I love beiges, camel and white for neutrals and love shades of orange as my favorite accent color. Learning this about myself makes shopping so easy I just stay away from my no no colors. 😊

[@az6462]

Exactly

[@danielleg1504]

SAME! It’s been the single most helpful thing… and I made it more fun for myself by not sticking to basics. I’ve built mine around magenta, cobalt, mustard, etc.

[@clarity1984]

I loved this video, so on point! I recently decluttered and did a garage sale. I made enough money to pay my rent 3 months - that's how badly I had accumulated. I feel so much freer now, I can find my clothes more easily and I am overall more enthusiastic about getting dressed.

[@carolynm.8868]

By watching your videos this past year I finally found my style. Casual, comfortable, classic, cozy, carefree and chill. I now quickly understand why an outfit works for me or not. I am very satisfied with the size and contents of my closet. Thank you for sharing your knowledge on your channel.

[@suki5048]

While I was thinking about the adjectives for my style, what you said just sums it up beautifully. Thank you! 😊

[@carolynm.8868]

You are welcome 🌻

[@swiinka]

Two big reasons for me: 1) I had clothes that no longer fit my body 2) some of my clothes did not fit the climate I live in now. Both made me feel inadequate and stuck. Not quite hating my wardrobe, but more hating my life - nevertheless, the clothes served as a reminder. Perhaps this also goes through some people's heads as they open their closets.

[@rsvpevents6780]

I can relate to this. I’m from Texas and came from an area where clothes are tighter and suited for a hot environment. But now I live in New York City where the climate is colder and the style is more relaxed so I’m often running around in tight jeans and short dresses and stuff thats just not in style here but I keep reverting back to that style when I go shopping because it’s just all I’ve ever known… so it’s like a loop of hating what’s in my closet.

[@swiinka]

@@rsvpevents6780 I grew up in a climate with proper summer, then moved to Ireland where it's cold and rainy pretty much all year long. It took me years to change my programming and stop buying summer clothes when June lands, because summer here means that rain gets warmer 🤣 Now I have a hard time finding anything to wear if I go somewhere hot though.

[@Ellie-qq9zm]

It helped me to focus on building a comfortable wardrobe and one built on basics. In the past I didn’t give enough attention to basics which made it frustrating putting together outfits. Now most of my wardrobe is basics but I have a few gems in there that brighten it up. A few vintage pieces like sweaters or coats or dresses. And I’m a lot happier for it. And I stay away from polyester and now mostly buy cotton or natural fibers which helps for the comfort factor.

[@danielleg1504]

I love the three word style definition and adore owning a limited capsule wardrobe. I just could never pull it off with the pieces that typically get recommended online (trench coat, blazer, jeans, loafers, etc.). To come into my own style, I had to learn to pick up the concepts without internalizing someone else’s “rules”.

[@tiaragirlks5216]

I had no idea I was shopping for my fantasy self 😮. I am on a mission to shop my own clothes and truly wear things and see if they work or get rid of them. And I also have created an overwhelming environment of too many clothes. Thank you for the “Aha!” moment. I’m excited to finally love my wardrobe!

[@tinyshamrocks2172]

Yup, learning about the ‘fantasy self’ clothing was a complete game changer for me.. i totally realized 80% of my ‘wardrobe’ was fantasy self

[@dashadasha1522]

Great video! First two points are so me: I shop a lot for my fantasy self and buy a lot of clothes which are on the fancier side, whereas when it comes to getting dressed, my comfort is a top priority for me and I often end up reaching for the ride or die clothes in which I feel 100% comfortable. Secondly, my wardrobe is a mess and I often forget what’s actually in it. Storing clothes is a game changer. Your other points apply too:)

[@altsam9]

I hated my wardrobe because I bought a lot of black pants, tops, shoes and bags. I've heard all my life how black clothing is timeless, goes with everything and everyone should own it because it's essential. While it may be true for many people I realized it's not for me. I freaking hate black, it's sad, dull, boring and overpowering. I got rid of everything black, now my wardrobe is full of white and pastels, I feel cute, alive and bright, everytime I have to go out it's such a fun experience to get dressed.

[@HR-re6mr]

This is a good analysis. I love that you really open the box that a lot of get boxed into whether we know it or not! Kudos! Very well edited btw

[@elenabenotti3710]

I always watch one of your videos whenever I start to feel the "need" to buy something new, and you always help me pause and think!

[@shumatsuopost]

Great video! It's so true that we often hate our wardrobe because we don't have the right pieces or we don't know how to style them.

[@mariawelling4194]

I love that you're sure of what you like and confident with your wardrobe decision and how you defended it.. Splendid!

[@moon8783]

I love my wardrobe, but still found this a very inspiring video! Your analysis, coming from different angles about this subject makes it so much more then the title gives away... very well done! 🥰👌

[@kiwanyvillarin5017]

This is great! Lately I have been struggling with it all (style, clothes, feeling wasteful) and I took a huge step back and realized it was base don how my mental health is at the moment. This was very helpful! ❤

[@katherineandini5962]

I’m ironing some clothes while listening to this, suffice to say I get more excited to declutter & spring-clean next week! 😁

[@13lindamarie]

So true - the fantasy self and learning how to build outfits that are effortless are 2 things I’m working on!

[@pure_indulgence8144]

I love this video! And I agree, looking effortless does require time and getting to know your style! I try to own pieces in the same colors or tones so that they are interchangeable and I limit how many different colors and prints I own. So when I feel like I have nothing to wear I can blindly grab a top and bottom and it’s an instant outfit. Also, I don’t own lots and lots of jewelry instead I’ve invested in fine jewelry and fine jewelry statement pieces so they add a pop with each outfit AND will last for decades! I’ve also invested in quality footwear for every occasion, same with outerwear because those pieces can really change what would otherwise be a more plain or boring outfit. Good luck to everyone that is working on their personal style!

[@karinefrommontreal]

Thank you for this video, I feel like you were able to analyse us since the past decade and summarize it in 10min! Well done I will definitely follow your suggestions❤

[@Soulstice1319]

This is one of the BEST videos i have watched on youtube this year, and that is no exaggeration, as someone who is always watching videos. Your video is so well filmed and and the advice itself is so detailed. Well done!!!

[@tabathawalker808]

Realist sh*t I’ve ever heard. I love your honesty about having a shopping addiction and your straightforwardness about a “ fantasy self” and ditching style rules… and I just seriously loved everything you’ve said in this video. Watched it 3xs, saved, and subscribed. ❤

[@s.sflower]

This was great! I have decluttered over the years but I think I still have too much and yes I often feel like I have nothing to wear. I would like to put more effort in my dressing. So I think for me decluttering again is definitely a yes right now

[@lisaperra2012]

I love this! I've been curating the videos I watch. I've gotten rid of the ones that say "wear this not that"....mistakes to avoid...you NEED this...today's video is going to save me some money and frustration...you hit the nail on the head for me today. Keep up the great work. I look forward to your content each week!

[@ainakunigelyte]

Hey Christina, I just wanted to say that I love how you go beyond just forming a style but also talk about matching it your personality, lifestyle and so on. I am just re-discovering this area in my life again, and I strongly feel that I am on a shopping obsession and style obsession because i feel so much uncertainty and lack of control in my other areas of life that I channel this control into making decisions about clothes. I will watch some videos that you made on your style journey and I already did and notices similar patterns. I would like to be reasonable about it and have benefits from it instead of just feeling guilty of wasting and not feeling well in my great clothes since they dont even match my financial situation right now. I guess I am trying to compensate my lack of certainty with buying. Again - thank you for your insights, it is very helpful! :)

[@karenley7356]

Christina it is so nice to see you explore colour in your wardrobe (your green jacket, the camel jacket) I feel they suit you so much more than black. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your exploration with colour.

[@judithrobinson8344]

I really needed this video as I am guilty of all 10 especially fantasy self and what people think . So now it is clear out time for my wardrobe to have the clothes that I like, I feel comfortable but smart I and stick to what I like x

[@mooisapig]

This is the first video of yours I've watched and MAN the first part about the fantasy self is a wake up call for me. I'd never heard that put into words before and just couldnt figure out why I didnt love all my outfits when I loved all my clothes. Definitely need to take a realistic look at my clothes now.

[@mariaborden7]

I 'am just now in my mid 40's and finally figuring out what my fashion style is. I have been dreading cleaning out my closet and switching over from winter to spring/summer clothes. After seeing a few new closet make over videos I am more motivated to do so. I am actually looking forward to getting it done. I never quite looked at it, in the way that you described it as to why I did not want to do it. But it makes perfect sense to me. So thank you for sharing this video.

[@alexr6416]

This is amazing! You made me realize that I want to be seen as and be trendy fashionista (up with all the trends). However, I love jeans and a t-shirt with a leather jacket. So I need to accept what I like and wear versus trying to be someone I am not.

[@Liznvx]

Thank you for making this video. You have touched every single point perfectly. It has been extremely helpful in my journey. My wardrobe has always been an issue. I went through many phases in my life and the choices of clothes that I would wear would reflect that. My closet was my happy place. It is still my happy place. While my world was falling apart around me, It was the only thing in my life that remained. The only thing that I had control of. And to this day it still feels that way. I decided a long time ago to get rid of the emotional baggage and that included a lot of my clothes. But reinventing myself has been even more difficult. Not only was I dealing with the anxiety of letting go of old things but also the acceptance of new ones. It’s truly a remarkable journey….

[@cathyduran7771]

What a sweetheart you are! Everything you coached us on resonates with me. Some I've known for awhile -- and that's great -- but other points you brought up were new to me. Thanks. I've wanted to do the work to cull what is in my closet for over a year now, and your list will help me make better healthy decisions.

[@Dobby-1611]

Really enjoyed this, definitely food for thought. I think one of the reasons I hate my clothes is that I can't fit into a lot of them now and keep holding on just in case.

[@lorieldridge7366]

Just move them out of the closet. You don’t have to get rid of everything yet. Keep only things that fit, then periodically look at your stored items to see if anything is working again. Saves time & cash. After a while, I have found that some items I don’t even like anymore, so out they go. And others surprise you; I found 5 things in a bin yesterday that fit again. (I’ve only lost about 10 pounds). Then, if you really need something or want to go to an event, just shop only for that and buy in your current size. If could always be altered down later if needed. Just something that has worked for me as I change sizes.

[@angelamelum4304]

Great video. I’m going to need to rewatch it and take notes. Several points definitely hit home.

[@thatswhatisaidCA]

Hi from Canada! New here. I'm 59, and I'm pleased you mentioned the whole mind set, expectations of others, the city or culture around you, the deeper things that definitely mold our wardrobes. Almost ALL of my friends in my age group have "rules" that were taught to them as children, from a different era. Things like "a nice girl doesn't wear a low cut", or "older ladies don't where mini skirts". A few of them were busy at home with child-raising and low income, and now they are comfortable in sloppy comfort clothes and don't know anything about clothing or makeup. With this video my first time here, I will def be sharing your channel with my friends. Much thanks! (now i have to go and watch the rest of yours! 😄). Have a great day.

[@elizabethwright4784]

Excellent info! I love the Use what you have first" method! Also works for cooking & decorating! Thanks! 👗

[@mkdoss]

I just want to say thanks for making this. As soon as I got to the end of the "fantasy self" segment I had the motivation to go into my closet and take down and put away anything that isnt who I am right no. If I wasn't able to see myself wearing it in the next three months, it didn't need to be there. I then took out what i had packed away and compared it to what I had left, and what fit me now I kept out and then put the rest back. everything is in my favorite colors, shapes, fits, and fabrics

[@js-93308]

Thank you so much Christina! I am in embarking on the next chapter in my life and I intend to get it right. 💪 This video makes so much sense, I have the wardrobe, shoes and accessories.... The only thing missing was a plan... Thanks for your input and guidance, I can't wait to show off the best version of me 💜

[@heidithorsen-wexler339]

Thank you!!!!!you cut to the heart of so many of the challenges-and actually make me want to do the inner work!!! I love what you say about the fantasy self and the freedom not to dress for others. Stylish sanity for all. Hot & good for the planet too! lol. Also - a subheading of dressing for others I’d like to mention- the male gaze, romantic partner pressures, various other kinds of signaling, fitting in to particular communities…thank you again. Feeling less afraid of my closet now, even with the mess it is!

[@natalie_rose2861]

The intro of this video resonated so much with me. I knew that having to get dressed in the morning had really been causing me hell in the start of my days & just ruining most of days since October. I even started having breakdowns recently around Christmas when that added stress really was too much but I didn't realize how bad it was until I started watching this video.

[@joyhampton7939]

This is such great information! I love your channel so much.

[@silviacosta9164]

You make me really think with the concept of your fantasy self. I don’t know how I didn’t come up with that before! For me, it’s a great starting point to work with. Thanks! You sure have a new subscriber.

I looooove this video so much! I absolutely LOVE fashion but lately I've been pulling back from purchasing clothing because I don't want to be wasting money anymore. This video is really fantastic btw! Thank you for posting it!! 😍🙌🏾

[@emmawantsome7870]

Came across this channel while doing a deep cleaning of my bedroom. I have to say, I really like how you are able to explaining all this stuff without sounding judgemental or elitist. Love the practicality of your tips!

[@fredalearhinan6693]

This video has just confirmed what I have done with my wardrobe is correct... although I'm 71yrs I have had trouble finding my style to suit the life I lead now in the country. I was still buying as if I lived in the city. Soooo I have been curating and getting rid of (about 10 bags of clothing jackets shoes etc) I now have a cohesive wardrobe of clothes that I can change up when I need to. Thankyou for your insightful video 🎉

Great video as always, full of great tips! I just want to say, this haircut and hair styling suits you so so well! I think now you look the best you’ve ever looked, truly in your element :)

[@yifatjovani333]

Such a great video! I 💯 agree. It is so important to first know what is your true style because when you know it's way easier to start creating your optimal wardrobe with clothes that you actually really like to wear and makes you feel amazing!

[@acminkus]

You must’ve read my mind all the way here in Edmonton… My “mind space” is exactly as you describe: not liking anything in my closet. Thanks for the peptalk and some great ideas. For me, I think closet boredom is remedied by inspiration from Pinterest, KZbin, or wherever. That’s when I’ve created my best outfits, so I’m going to try that the next while.

Love this!! So cute and fun how you can go to the mirror and smile at yourself and what you've chosen to wear! Makes me feel like i can do that, too. Good points and makes me wonder about a couple of pieces in my closet and if they are really me. I haven't done research on the three words yet, but what came to mind for myself is simple, natural/nature, and free/comfy. I love to pull colors from nature into my wardobe and i know myself well enough to know i am not going to enjoy wearing clothes that are busy or bulky or too tight. I want to wear my clothes and feel free and comfortable even if im dressing up for a date or church. Thinking on those words definitely does offer a filter for my closet. If something is uncomfortable or too busy then thats a sign i may need to reconsider that piece for myself.

The internet is truly an amazing place...i never thought that anyone else experienced the same thing as me;that is,shopping then feeling like you have no clothes afterwards.Thank you for all ur tips..hopefully ill apply them and they'll positively impact how i feel towards my wardrobe atm.

[@allthingswavy6420]

I've heard you say it before, but when I watched this video yesterday, the awareness of "fantasy self" truly sank in. I've been thinking about it ever since 😜

[@katrinbehnke8194]

Thank you, Christina. I just needed that push as my wardrobe is a whole mess and I do not even know what I have… will definately clean up now and I am sure that this will out some surprise 😂

[@yifatjovani333]

Good luck, it's fun. You've got this!

[@AG-dx4vu]

[@phylliswws3215]

[@AltoonaYourPiano]

It's so awesome know knowledgeable you are. You're so beautiful and elegant and have a wonderful sense of aesthetic and style. Your outfits are absolutely stunning and gorgeous!

[@FineNaturalHairROCKS]

Hey Christina, this is an awesome video! Thank you for this video. It's really helpful and insightful as it relates to the dreadful "I have nothing to wear" feeling!

[@junedee]

the fantasy self idea is so so good, its something I alwyas noticed weighs on me but I could never put it into words

[@TaniaMcCartney]

This is sooooo good, Christina, especially the part about the fantasy self. Thank you so much.

[@Hellomariahuelar]

I'm a new subscriber and I'm glad I found your channel. I think this is by far the best video I have watched when it comes to wardrobe struggles.I'm in my late 20s now so I am bit more conscious about my figure and spending habits. I'm from Asia and very petite. I used to wear anything while living there but now currently residing in NZ where it's 4 seasons a day and the majority of people are on the taller or bigger build. I have been struggling to find my style and size since coming here. They dont have a lot of petite friendly brands and I do not like fast fashion so i spend a lot of money on sustainable clothing from Europe. I've been really frustrated about my fashion choices because it is a clash of my fantasy self and following all the rules. I am a sheep. I have taken down notes and will contemplate on these and hopefully slowly transition to my best version and personal style! Thank you very much !

[@user-yn6ou9sg8v]

Thanks so much! I’ve followed your advice to try putting outfits together to experiment and now I KNOW what is missing. That has made it so much easier to do targeted shopping for the blazer and shoes I need. Also it’s fun to watch the influencers on KZbin however it’s too much eye candy!! A good realization!!

[@nicolettemannella2463]

Your hair looks so great in this video! Got me itching for a chop chop 😬 helpful content as always thank you!!

[@Nyakairu.K]

Thank you for sharing your ideas behind this. It has been really helpful

[@karenferguson7662]

Thank you so much for this..I identified with the buying clothes that match up with my fantasy self, and also my fantasy 'going out to lunch' type of life. I do do that sometimes, but nowhere near enough for all the things that I've bought over the years to match that fantasy. I'm going to watch your video that talks about how do I feel when i wear certain things, because I've never really asked myself that. I am also glad that you're not talking about what else to buy to fix it...I have subscribed to your channel, and look forward to watching more of what you have to say.🌺🌻🏵

[@annagordova1241]

Thank you for this video ❤ Very helpful 😊

[@jmsl_910]

yes!!! at the end of the day-- if I like it, i feel comfortable and confident. confidence is always stylish

[@yasemincetin447]

Watch your videos and take notes, love your ways. Hi from Turkey ❤

[@cm-nj]

Last summer I started making a capsule at the beginning of each month and it has helped address so many of the problems you are addressing. It doesn't take me that long and the benefits are well worth the effort. I am surprised at how much less shopping I've done. I think, for me, putting outfits together for 4 weeks is very doable. Seasonal capsules tended to be very large as I was trying to include pieces for every type of event that could come up, whereas I generally know what is on my calender for the upcoming month. It's also clearly showing me what I like wearing and that I do have plenty in the closet already. There are lots of other benefits I'm noticing, but this comment is getting too chatty, lol.

[@vanillabear228]

this is a great idea!!! thank you so much, i'll try this! :)))

[@ms_prescott_regrets]

What an awesome idea 💡 It’s definitely less overwhelming to plan a wardrobe for the month than a season especially since the weather has been odd where I live. I definitely will be trying this one out. ❤❤❤

[@leelens3]

So helpful! Living in a climate where the weather fluctuates wildly makes it hard to plan for a whole season, so a monthly plan could be the answer.

[@an6516]

As someone with an outspoken style: I’d say it’s also definitely important to have some basics to work around!!

[@colleenpowell5324]

Excellent video!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@Littleloulotus1964]

I needed this video! Thank you. My fantasy style is bohemian chique but the style does not fit my body type or the weather of my country. I figured I feel the best in cozy and classy clothing and have been trying to only buy certain colors so all the pieces fit together. Going to donate three bags of clothes today 💪

[@alexfortin4984]

I have a lot of cleaning to do in my wardrobe. I have a lot of clothes I never wear, that don’t fit anymore. I have a hard time letting go, I’m scared of regretting it. The fantasy self is definitely a problem for me. I’m glad I found your channel, I need positive influence to follow instead of people who are making me want to buy more.

[@deborahjoyce591]

Thanks to your message about shopping your own closet. I just resisted secret Sezane code of 20 off and instead of buying a beautiful cream cotton crochet sweater I looked in my closet and decided I already have a lovely vintage cotton sweater made in Ecuador that I found at my local antique mall and I don’t need another similar item despite how beautiful the Sezane one was. Thanks for your videos and advice 😊

[@SarahinPEI]

This was soo helpful! Thank you! And i think you are effortlessly beautiful 💕

[@rachelmckoskybennett8285]

Great perspective and motivation!

[@gilliangamble8901]

Really good tips. I can relate to all of it!

[@alyssiahstyles]

Great video! Thank you for the helpful tips!

[@kristenchristensen7445]

Fantasy self….I’ve never heard that and it resonated with me…and I think it includes holding on to too small clothes because I think I will be that size again. This was the best video I’ve seen and it came at a much needed time. I’m subscribing now as you presented this tough subject in a way that hit home for me. Thank you!

[@Christinamychas]

❤️

[@deboradiniz4450]

I'm currently getting to know my style again. I tend to be practical which leads me to either sportswear or a more masculine clothing approach, so, everytime I put together something more feminine, I feel ridiculous. And I know it's wrong, I just don't know yet how to balance things. What is truly bothering me later is that I recognize my taste in people that I find terrible dressed. I loved the video. I'll definitely watch it over to track all the points while going through my clothes. ❤

[@ZAIENAFIT]

lol I feel you sis I was a fashion designer in my past life from everything you said till the end is me reliving a whole new person never been happier ❤

[@ayt1702]

The hairstyle looks amazing on you! ❣️ I’m living in a place where it’s most time of the year really hot, it’s hard to plan nice outfits if you actually just wear a top and shorts 😫
