You don't wear 80% of your wardrobe, here's how to fix it.

[@dschultz6981]

Great advice, Eileen! I was so struck when you said, "I don't splurge on my fantasy self anymore." I replayed that and gave it thought, because I do that. With retirement coming next year, my life is changing and I will no longer need the types of clothing I now wear. It doesn't mean I'll get rid of everything and buy new; instead, I'll take your advice and look for ways to incorporate these items into my new lifestyle.

I’m excited to hear about your retirement life xx

Hi Eileen, great sharing. The 80/20 rules make perfect sense in our modern society, same applies at workplace to prioritize area to focus. ❤ from Malaysia 😊

[@ColourfulNoir]

Absolutely! Terima kasih! Xx

[@deenaguillet1806]

Loved your video. It's a great rule to apply over and over. It keeps you from having too may things that you really don't need.

[@ColourfulNoir]

Glad it was helpful!x x

Hi Eileen! It was so long ago that I don’t know where to start on my wardrobe but when I watched this video I said,”This is what I need!”Problem solved!!! A big thanks!!! 😍😍😍

[@tamarfischer283]

I think we often buy things thinking we will wear them. The fact is you don't know how well something will work until you have it in your wardrobe. Also, I've often bought something that I didn't really wear, and sometimes a year or two later I buy a matching item and it becomes one of my favourite things

[@ColourfulNoir]

Thank you for sharing xx

Hi EileenI am 76 and really "into" the 80/20 rule. Thank you for the video Eileen it really enforces my regular practise I am calmer when dressing and always enjoy my outfit and my day. The fear of not looking good enough has gone A relief !

Love all your videos! Can you please let me know what brand is your down coat/jacket. Thanks 😊

[@karinefrommontreal]

You made really good points Eileen❤My 20% in my closet are also Burberry trench, puffer coat, Aritzia olive long coat, cashmere jumpers, trousers, Tshirts, Hermes belt, white sneakers and joggers! I will definitely look at my 80% to declutter what I dont wear/like😂Thank you 🇨🇦from Canada

[@ColourfulNoir]

Love your 20%!xx

[@VerityCarpenter]

I have been waiting for *yutulu* forever.thank you!!!!

[@missmegs37]

I love this! It is so much easier to create outfits with less in my wardrobe (the irony) because I can see everything and I love them al!

[@ColourfulNoir]

💯 agree xx

[@nonnieTerri]

You make so much sense! Great video.

[@ColourfulNoir]

Glad it was helpful!xx

[@skinterest_sonja]

Thank you so much, Eileen, for another inspiring video! I was wondering if you could make a video (or series) about smart investing, budgeting, saving money for retirement and how to calculate the pension gap. I would love to hear your thoughts about that :)

I used to work selling cars, one day a partner told me, there has been a year and I've never saw you with the same outfit, the main thing is to know how to combine and use accessories, yes I had a lot of clothes but used them all :) I am retired moved to Florida but still can't get ride of suits that I used to work with or coats, they have been in my closet and haven't ware them, I don't know when I will give them away. I followed you and love your videos

[@dianascott2798]

Don't give up. It took me almost 5 years to get rid of all my corporate wear after I retired. Now I don't miss them at all.

[@flufftronable]

Donate them to people who are unemployed and attending interviews.

[@ColourfulNoir]

A few people I know have moved to Florida, I’m so interested to know about the life there xx

[@princeeverlove]

Eileen thank you so much 🫶🏼🌹

[@ColourfulNoir]

❤️❤️

[@yulianagonzalez2428]

I opted for update my wardrobe with pieces in cashmere and got rid of the ones I don’t wear

[@ColourfulNoir]

You won’t regret it xx

[@zonkermound]

*yutulu* bags just outclassed the rest..too good

[@drnicolebeaumont7884]

Fantastic 🎉🎉

[@ColourfulNoir]

Thanks 🤗

[@CocoB22]

I just make an mindful effort to wear all my clothes. ❤

[@ColourfulNoir]

Love that!xx

[@kittiemui]

Thank you for sharing your journey and tips! I am slowly putting my wardrobe together and really enjoying it!

[@ColourfulNoir]

Wonderful!xx

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

Nice tips

[@ColourfulNoir]

Glad you liked it xx

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

@ColourfulNoir thanks 😊

[@user-yd4yr5hr3s]

Yaasssssssss love my comfy skinny jeans I don’t give a flip if they are sooooooo outdated and not trendy I will wear them I do me I do not follow trends😘

[@joyell821]

I wear my stuff. I wear something different everyday. I rarely repeat the same exact look. Now, a piece might only get worn once a year, but I wear it. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@ColourfulNoir]

❤️

[@tamarfischer283]

Selling luxury, even at a loss, is not a loss if you are not wearing them. Every dollar you make is a dollar won compared to have the bag sitting in your home. I'm sure you bought those things to wear and not as an investment

[@ColourfulNoir]

I agree to a certain extent! Years ago I sold a lot of my pieces at a loss but I never regret it because with what money I got from the sales, I put it all into investment. It’s better than having those pieces collecting dust xx

[@mabathomosekeli]

[@user-yd4yr5hr3s]

❤you

[@Jazpink26]

Will you wear the same dress to all the weddings? Your friends and relatives are likely to remember.

[@cathhl2440]

I do. I have no money to buy more dresses. 😅 My circle is too courteous to point this out.

[@VBoo459]

Personally, I always wear something new but I rent it from byrotation or Hurr and it’s such a great idea. You spend much less than brand new and it looks really good.

[@tiggertay]

Even if they do what is the problem with that? Shouldn't we have better things to do in our lives than to worry about such things?

[@TheChelseaCate]

I own a couple of dresses that are multipurpose that I can change the accessories, purses, and my hair/makeup to change it up. I actually get more compliments doing this 😅

[@ColourfulNoir]

I do repeat my dresses for dressy occasions😊 to be honest, no one actually mentions anything but if they do, I’d take it as a compliment! It’s not my wedding after all so it’s not my time to be the shining main character, but I’ll make sure to dress for the occasion xx
