How I RESET My Capsule Wardrobe For Fall 🍂 closet switchover & organization

[@WeAreBullets]

First Of All: I love that wardrobe rotations are a whole thing that we put on music and have snacks and hydration.

[@gwenhunter8454]

Literally my favourite thing to watch on here 😂😂

[@colettegjuka9604]

Coincidentally, I rotated my wardrobe this weekend. I live in a tiny house and have very limited space for my clothing. That doesn't stop me from having a lot of clothes, but I have to rotate for the seasons. I'm always so happy to have all my sweaters out again!

[@makingwithmichelle]

The most real comment of the video "Ooo I missed you" I felt that. The joy of loving your pieces and being excited to see them again.

[@lohrss]

Yes like old friends...

[@juliehanson1175]

That was definitely a master class in the fall/winter switch. It has been uncharacteristically warm here too, but I kept some olive/dusty green linen shirts in the closet and they have been a godsend the last few weeks.

[@michellealyssa6015]

I just opened KZbin with intention of watching a video while I switched my fall and winter wardrobe LOL. This is perfect. Also Toronto girls it’s getting chilly out so we need to bring out the sweaters

[@Christinamychas]

Chilly in the morning and sweating by the afternoon! Haha

[@Surreal452]

⁠@@ChristinamychasSame problem in Maine. Sweater weather then sweaty weather on the same day lol.

[@SharonBurc]

@@Surreal452love, love Maine. I always thought it should have been Maine is for lovers instead of VA lol

[@vcr6854]

It’s so nice to see wardrobes in places with actual seasons. I’m in Southern California where it’s just basically hot all year round

[@elainewilson8182]

Looking very buff Christina! Congrats! Keep it up! You motivate me!

[@mhtammi]

I’m on Vancouver Island on the west coast of Canada, and I just did the switch over too. Our temperature today will get to 13 C with light rain. It can go down to 0 C in the heart of winter for a few hours or a day, but mostly it will rain until Spring. Many people, like my husband wear shorts and tee shirts year round. My switchover means putting away sun dresses and sandals and pulling out light sweaters, pants, and boots to go under rain coats. I have four rain jackets and four pairs of boots for various level of rain.😊

[@judithbass7565]

I have family in Victoria and Sooke! I live in Lincolnshire, England!:

[@healthyhealthyholly6599]

*cries in Alberta weather* I swear the island sounds like paradise! Just cold enough to enjoy the coziness without freezing your nose off for two months out of the year!

[@leolalinski4971]

Hi Christina, The brown top with the integrated shoulder pads suits you SO well. At first glance it seems you are wearing a blazer, that's how sharp and elevated the silhouette looks. The hue accentuates your features perfectly, you look absolutely beautiful. I am gagged haha

[@Christinamychas]

🥹🥹 thank you!

[@cindyboughen9933]

Caught a couple glimpses of my favourite green boots!😂 I’m the same with pressing clothes before they go back into my closet…..I like having them ready to go in the moment. Great video😍

[@anothrsara]

yess. just swapped my closet over and had my steamer locked and loaded xD

[@mariawelling4194]

Hi Christina 👋 I was recently watching one of Amy from Tibi. She suggested and 16:06 demonstrated how to pair an acid jeans with more textures elevated tops, eg., Silk. I decided to give it a try with my acid wash jeans because, like you, I don't normally reach for them. It's been a game changer. 😊🎉❤

[@Christinamychas]

Yesssss!

[@kyrakytana]

I can seriously get behind the concept of the clothes in your closet being ready to go. I put my favourite linen shirt in totally wrinkled this summer after a wash and guess what? I didn't wear it for a whole month. The same is true for my sweaters that need a de-pill. Getting them ready to wear in advance is the only way I will reach for them in the morning to get dressed.

[@Christinamychas]

Totally! It helps reduce so much friction when getting dressed

[@adventureswiththerobin]

I’m actually in the process of this exact thing (this weekend) and filming - so will go up on KZbin later than you 😂. But I live in South Florida which makes the transition even tricker because we don’t get true Fall and Winter, though you would t know that from all the boots I own! I really respect your minimal wardrobe and esthetic. I can’t get my wardrobe as minimal as yours, but it’s a work in progress. Thanks for the inspiration ❤

[@Mimi-ni3il]

i’ll watch jealously from the San Francisco Bay area where we are having record high temps between 90-100 degrees celsius and most don’t have air conditioning. i just sit and stare at my sweaters 🙃🤪😞

[@Christinamychas]

It’s been so hot in Toronto still too!

[@glitterberserker1029]

I assume you mean fahrenheit. Off the top of my head 100 celsius would be something like 200 fahrenheit.

[@Theripepear]

Yeah the blood would literally be boiling 🤭

[@pamelapeterson2987]

I feel you! From California's Central Coast.

[@tjp7342]

I hear you. I’m in Oakland, and it’s currently 88 in my house. If I’m lucky it’ll drop to 85 by midnight.

[@suzanschneider6163]

I agree with you on the light colored striped button down. You should probably sell it. Love the cobalt cotton sweater! Looks great for you. Fun video. I changed my wardrobe over a week ago, but we’re having 70 degree weather today in Seattle! Yay for sunshine.

[@arese-]

Just did my wardrobe switchover today! Took me like 6 hours ..LMAO. So glad I found this channel!

[@AshleyBartanen]

Fall is so fun to dress for, I loved seeing your switch over. I am curious what your day job is? Where do you wear your clothes most days? I've been working on my style and a lot of days the only places I go are the grocery store and school pick up. But I still think it's worth it to get dressed!

[@karinefrommontreal]

Hi Christina! Fantastic video Im doing my reset tomorrow, Im so inspired. Can you tell me again the brand of your tall croc boots? They look like Toteme

[@debbiew7496]

I think the pale blue and white striped shirt doesn’t work well for you because it is a low contrast pattern in muted blue. You look great higher colour contrast and deeper colours which is why the dark blue and white striped shirt works.

[@Christinamychas]

Yes! I guess bc white is more high contrast too that it works better? I just find it so fascinating!

[@ren8240]

100%. You have high contrast between your dark hair colour & darker eyes against your pale skin which is why the low contrast colour combo shirt doesn't "pop" like the high contrast colour combos do! 😊

[@Theripepear]

Exactly what I was thinking about too! I'm so glad I'm starting to learn how to figure this kind of things out🤩

[@missfl0werstar]

Just switched mine a few days ago! I used to dread this task every season because my closet was full of whatifs and maybes. I haven't decluttered them because 1y postpartum I'm still figuring my style out, but I've packed those up for good and now I only rotate my favorites. Had so many moments of happy surprises, I am so stoked to open my closet to a row of cotton sweaters! 😍 Christina, do you think you could share your plastic-free staples/favorites? I can't wear acrylic and PE because of sensory issues and that blaser you've just packed away sounds like a real dream!

[@BBurnett333]

One day, I shall have enough clothing to have any kind of rotation! YASSS Goals! Thank you for sharing your process, Christina.

[@marisacooper5364]

I am in my closet right now! Thank you so much for the motivation. I needed to plan my wardrobe for the week and your video helped me dive a little deeper. I even stored away some of my husband summertime shorts, I wonder if he’ll notice -lol😂

[@bellonjm07]

I haven’t been able to switch out my wardrobe for fall - it’s been 80 degrees this past week in WI. What the heck. Loved watching this! ❤

[@cornishsunflower963]

Nice work. I have just bought a pair of barefoot shoes, and it's a total game changer. I am actually selling my Converse, because, much as I love them, they are just too narrow, and not good for my feet. Let us know if you take the plunge - you won't regret it!

[@TheZeyre]

Great idea especially for the shoes!❤

[@niemodna]

I do the same thing with button downs. I use them as „jackets” during warm seasons.

[@oksanamelnyk7588]

Thank you for the video! And thank you for the idea of cropping the trousers that you don't wear much. I've bought a pair of classic camel trousers last winter and almost do not reach out for them. But they're too good to just let them go. So, turning them into shorts can be the solution.

[@charleneplushonda]

That striped Djerf Avenue is the reason why I bought my own and it's one of my favorites!

[@CathyHarbidge]

Great video! Even though I did my swap over already because we are colder here, I am inspired again to go play in my closet, thank you!

[@ronnie-lynn]

I just reset mine yesterday. Phew what a big job. Oddly enough I realized I have more spring/summer clothes verses fall & winter. When in winter here in Canada is long and you need more layers, so I found that odd. 🤨 lol I do wear a lot of dresses so I suppose on hangers that could be the reason!! We had such an oddly mild and late winter last year (no snow on Christmas) which had not happened since 1997!! So I kept all my long skirts out and short sleeved cardigans. I pretty much only put away my shorts, linens, and summer dresses I suppose.

[@alainebohnsak3558]

Great video C! I do this as well. Makes for more space & easy choices without clutter. Thanks so much for posting!❤

[@cassiesmith9183]

Loved the video,. i am wondering where did you get the rolling rack from? Also can you do a styling video for all your wardrobe switchover? I Especially for those of us that live in Toronto! I would love to see that. Thank you and thanks for sharing.🙂

[@Christinamychas]

Yes definitely into a styling vid! The rack is from Yamakazi home - it’s not in wheels tho! Ikea has rolley ones for sure tho!

[@Christinamychas]

They’re a few years old from dear Frances but I think it’s a pretty consistent style - it’s the square toe boot!

[@tarski7420]

Awesome video!! Just curious when you store away your summer clothes, do you separate out summer clothes you might want for a sunny getaway in the winter? Or do you bring out the storage bin and sort through what you want to pack for a vacation? Any tips how to do that? Last year I had a bin for summer dresses, a bin for summer shorts & tops, and a small bin for swimsuits, coverups and flip flops…..but when I had to pack for a sunny vacation in February I had to pull out so many bins lol

[@rekwa3860]

I think most of us just don't have that many clothes to store. My summer-only pieces all fit in one box, so it's not hard to sort through if needed.

[@kendrasgro3121]

Vicariously living through this video until fall makes it’s appearance here in NorCal.. 100 tomorrow 🙃

[@kristinl9583]

So fab! Quick question when is it safe to stack the wool sweaters on the shelf without plastic and mothball protection I live in Southern California

[@shelleykolln7933]

I don't know if this helps. I wear my pale stripped button-down shirts with dark blue, black, and gray sweaters over them. I let the collar stand up and the sleeves out. Sometimes, I wear a blazer over the sweater & button down. The look is elevated and classic. I also get more wear out of them that way. Sometimes, I feel like I'm in a Ralph Lauren catalog. Lol

[@szfrj]

Very inspiring! Wonder if you would like button down shirts on dark colours, like a pinstripe on black, or chocolate brown 🤷🏻‍♀️ could be a good thrift experiment

[@ChristysChannelYall]

I don’t know what happened down here where I live in North Carolina as it’s usually still warm here but it just got cold. It was 49F this morning. That’s cold for us. I’m pulling out some sweaters today.

I live in Stockholm and it's high time a closet switchover. When you talked about the shirt you think is too light for you, I think you're gonna like @kackie Makeup color theory playlist, especially the first video about contrast. I think you are a high contrast person, therefore black and white look good and pastels just disappear on you :)

[@WeAreBullets]

Question: if you could shop for clothes (including shoes/boots) in Boston MA what shops would you go to? (i know you might not know US companies or cities as well as Canadian but just wondered if you had any fun ideas. I'd love to go to some good stores in Boston at some point, I live 40mins away, to try on well-made clothes in-person instead of always trying to guesstimate the fit when shopping online at all these great little companies).

Looking at how good you look in the brown top, your jean jacket and your blue linen blazer, which are all warmer, as well as the gold jewelry, I think it’s possible you’re a dark autumn, not a winter. Dark autumns can often look good in dark winter clothes as well, and I think that might be you!

barefoot shoesss. mine are from Lems, not the cutest and not the most high-quality, but they do the job comfortably. I will say I have tried many of Vivobarefoot's shoes mAny times and never could find them comfortable for me. Vivo are very cool looking and high-quality but they have very low profile hight in the main foot space so there's not a lot of room for adding anymore cushioning without maybe bumping my toes on the 'ceiling'. and some other uncomfortable little aspects about them for me personally i guess, but a lot of people seem to like them. they are in UK i think tho, but made there in Europe i believe. i so wish i could find some Vivos that worked for me, they r super cool

I live in a tropical island, so the concept of having 2 sepeparate wardrobes, one for cold and one for hot weather is kinda weird I would feel bad for not being able to use all my clothes I think, so watching other that live in places with 4 season is very interesting

[@Smidgeon-pigeon]

It's definitely one of those things that's just normal for me, having lived in four-season climates most of my life. It's simply not practical to wear my heavy wool sweaters and blazers and under-layers in the summer! But they're absolutely necessary in the winter when the interior temperatures in my home and office are 15-20°F lower. That said, i think Christina swaps out a lot more stuff than the average person. E.g. I wear all of my button-downs and pants year round. The only things I swap out for the season are heavier wool items, shorts, seasonal shoes (like sandals and snow boots), and some of my long-sleeve t-shirts--things that are impractical in either summer or winter. But I probably have 1/3 to 1/2 as many clothes as she does, so I rewear them more.
