I stopped buying clothes and found my personal style.

[@Christinamychas]

What clothes have you stopped buying?

[@BeeBaldwin]

3” shorts. My thighs are not made for those!

[@Christinamychas]

@@BeeBaldwin I feel you!

[@Christinamychas]

@I B hahah I feel this as well 😅❤️

[@alessandras4289]

Jeans!! They always look the worst on me

[@andreapoulieva6717]

Well, indeed, I also need to stop buying all clothes...but specifically, I am your opposite, skinny jeans always and forever, I really tried straight legs, but they just aren't comfortable or flattering on me. That was a costly lesson, because I always faulted the model I had bought and kept searching for the "perfect pair"... You've really helped me a lot to open my eyes, so thank you very much, Christina. I'm so excited for you to be debt free, such a huge achievement ! Xxx

[@kathleenhill5838]

A moment of silence please for our fantasy selves.......... Now lets move on. So proud of you and your progress!

[@Christinamychas]

Haha love it! Thank you Kathleen! ❤️

[@angiec8784]

I agree!!! I love wearing white and beige! Who cares that I don’t wear color?! I love color on other people though

[@mariapadilla7501]

lol, shes being tru to herself BRAVO. I refuse to follow any trend or so called must haves. All about $$$ is all.

[@paigemurray4946]

Definitely skip the Chanel and go for the 6 month savings. As a slightly older subscriber I’ve learned that it is extremely comforting at best and extremely necessary at worst. Also, I totally get the “fantasy self” wardrobe purchases. I have a few in my closet too!

[@annabelle7123]

Some ppl buy Chanel for investment cuz they just get more expensive while ppl lose jobs in pandemic cuz others have more savings... it's annoying. I can't afford one, well I could but I would never.

[@edennis8578]

Paige, I totally agree. Practically speaking, if someone doesn't have at least 10x the price of a Chanel bag in the bank, #1. they can't really afford one and #2. nobody in your social circle is likely to care or be impressed. Plus you might very well just make yourself a target for muggers. I know of one popular influencer who has several Chanel bags, but her engagement ring alone is worth about $70k (she posted the specs once) meaning that her husband has megabucks, even though she tries to pass herself off as one of the common herd. A lot of her followers believe that she's one of their own, and think they should have the same stuff that she does, not realizing that her net worth is in the millions.

[@agnieszkapilot-bambynek8025]

As a big fan of dresses I must admit that your wedding suit is a bomb and definitely knoks out all the dresses at the party 💖

[@amiehegeman]

Ha! Mine is pretty much the opposite. I realize how much I love dresses and skirts so I am limiting the pants etc that I buy. I totally agree that the “essentials” list is not necessarily the essentials for you. Also, climate is so important too in that list.

[@christinezwicke1002]

WOW...sheer brilliance! I have been feeling some "cognitive dissonance" that is mounting with all of the "essentials." YOUR content in this video has opened my eyes and defined exactly what that nagging feeling is. While I have fantasies of wearing many of the pieces you ticked off, my lifestyle just doesn't call for them. And, the price tag to finance the fantasy is beginning to keep me up at night!!!! So, now that you've defined what I couldn't, I, too, am starting to declutter my wardrobe. I'll sell what I can and donate what I must...and stop the bleeding ($$$$). I have no words, except I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Signed, soon to be free❣

[@kimberlyheinz4490]

I don't buy any clothes for special occasions, like going out with friends. I also stop buying a lot of your list also, but love my skinny jeans! LOL

[@Christinamychas]

Yessss omg I remember using special occasions as an excuse to go shopping. Now it’s an excuse to shop the closet and wear something more than leggings and jeans for a change 😂

[@lanxidong1851]

My biggest issue has been the amount of turnover in my wardrobe in recent years - so I don't purchase anything I can't see myself keeping (and using regularly) for at least 5 years. This means choosing items that are high quality, functional, and suit my style. Making this a criterion has really helped me approach purchases with foresight. Even though I'm not always perfect, I've made way better choices.

[@Christinamychas]

I love this! It’s difficult to see ourselves in the future so I love this intentional and forward-thinking mindset!

[@nickyodujirin]

I’m the same way with my clothes.

[@chelfie3000]

Oooo that is a great rule 🙈

[@kristindawn8475]

Ooof that mindset takes serious commitment but I’m here 👏🏼 for 👏🏼 it 👏🏼 and we need it

[@nelliedean7088]

What a fantastic piece of advice. I have made a new goal to avoid any new clothes buying for the next five years as I really do have enough.

[@mcmosaic]

There is nothing wrong with a 'simple' outfit. You'll look timeless and that's also great. I wanted to get a vintage Chanel bag, but that money. For me it's not an investment... I don't live in a big city where it's common to have/wear designer items. I'll feel uncomfortable. I have 1 YSL bag and I haven't used it once. How sad is that. It was a dream bag for me, but I regret it a little. The plan is to use it when I travel, but I doubt that I'll do that.

[@bstrong5016]

Just use it. Who cares what others think. I love my designer handbags but was nervous too initially.

[@mona-fy4oj]

I'm honestly your exact opposite! I too consider myself a minimalist (kinda), but in order to really make my wardrobe look like me I realised I NEEDED color, I needed dresses and feminine pieces. For a long time I was in the "well I guess a minimalist wardrobe is just black/white/gray basics" thought pattern and let me tell you, I found it boring. Looks amazing on other people, like you Christina, but it's just not me. I'm glad I learned to trust my taste and realised I can have color and patterns and vintage looking details and still be very minimalist.

[@beavadakkoot]

I am exactly the same! Love feminine and pastel colours in my wardrobe and love it 🥰😍 still a minimalist 🥺

[@siminapopa9269]

Down to earth like always Christina...you forgot the Oxford shirts🤣 I was browsing in a 2nd hand store today and my hand was touching some shirts....and then I remembered you and stepped away 😂🤣😂 so proud of myself. Thanks for being that voice on my shoulder 🤗

[@beverleychong11820]

I've stopped buying clothes that I thought looked lovely but didn't suit my body, also clothing in synthetic or itchy fabrics. If its not comfy I'm not going to wear it! The same with shoes, I've got rid of so many pairs of gorgeous shoes i didn't wear because they were too high for me or just plain uncomfortable.

[@theprousteffect9717]

Your honesty is very helpful. It can take a long time to let go of the fantasy self. It's akin to having to stop hanging out with a super fun friend whose lifestyle is simply incompatible with yours. I'm fully aware of my fantasy self and yet I still occasionally buy things for her instead of me 😂

[@yanam6787]

Absolutely loved this video. You nailed it about the staples that strangers keep telling us a must haves... for them maybe... keep going with this content - super good 👏🏻

[@kathrynp7595]

I’m with you with color, I just wear black, white, grey and denim. Easy peesy👍🏼

[@jenniferbruckler3942]

What a refreshing message. The thought of giving myself permission to never buy another pair of heels - liberating!

[@lynneansani3568]

You make sense and you say what I am thinking. And you don’t go off on tangents. You get right to the point. I’m so glad I found you! ❤

[@chelseablackburn4061]

Your content is always so refreshing especially after watching so many videos and influencers that encourage consumer culture it’s nice to see someone keeping it real :)

[@Lihoradka-s6v]

Stopped buying patterns and bright colours. Figured out I was most comfortable in gray, green and lavender colour. Stopped buying clothes and shoes in general because I still have too much for one person.

[@sarahthatcher123]

Wow! It is so cool to see how minimalism has really changed your perspective so much. You sound so different…in a really good way. What great progress.

[@moirasalerno3431]

This is the best conversation...I would buy items "just in case" and then they would sit in closet since half the time when I go out its just to run errands and who dresses up for that? Even working from home you can dress casual in a video call. Thank you for the video!

[@kwit7377]

I think success is internal...it can’t be measured by a persons appearance:) I only buy comfortable shoes now!

[@emmysikorski44]

I’m trying and struggling to be happy with my closet the way it is. I have a lot of beautiful things that I love but I relate so much to the chasing the next item that will make my wardrobe “perfect”. More will never be enough. I know this rationally but sometimes the need is overwhelming and I say to myself “just this one more thing, then I’ll stop spending “. Your channel has a really great genuine message and I continue to watch your videos when I’m feeling that need come up again. Thank you 🙏🏼 Keep up the great work!

[@zoraidarodriguez1761]

Fantastic video and so true. I feel I have wasted way too much money on clothes only to wear them once, if ever. I am almost done with minimizing my wardrobe to only what I love, is comfortable and can work in almost every season. You are an inspiration. Thank you for your advice. 👏💕

[@fan_of_horses9104]

You are quite endearing,shy but confident and learning about yourself, it was nice watching your video, I used to be a horder and would buy every colour in a dress or top i liked and wear perhaps one or none of them, I recently felt so overwhelmed by my clutter and have been binge watching declutter videos, I got rid of around 80% of what i owned, instead of buying more things i am now wearing what i do have, i have so much less and i love the things i have, they are organised and i can find evrything straight away, other good habits are falling into place naturaly, it feels so refreshing

[@annie13s]

Body tight dresses, skinny jeans, tight clothing in general, high heels, cheap looking/feeling items that I don't feel will last. Items that I can't see myself pairing in multiple ways/occasions, items I see myself out growing quickly as I grow older, items that only suit my fantasy self. All those are either gone or in the process of going

[@sirribeckline6844]

I love your authenticity

[@Christinamychas]

Thank you ❤️

[@SaafTheBun]

good for you! Love your content :) I've stopped buying the following "closet essentials" myself: heels, peacoats (i live in Southern CA it's too damn hot & winter now hardly gets cold enough that at most I wear them maybe...5 days out of the year?), jean jackets, leather jackets, trench coats, sweater dresses, cullotes, high knee boots. Love these on other people & loved them on my fantasy self but i just have to accept that they're not practical for where I'm at, my lifestyle & I don't actually ever reach for them!

[@shirleygiordano7627]

You do not know how much you just helped me. I made all these, "mistakes, " except I like color. I overbounced my account, and I'm pissed. There's another week before the end of the month. Thanks for making this video. I'm really appreciative of this video.

[@AmberSlemmer]

Love this! I'm with you 100% on buying colors. My wardrobe is all black with a few greys. It's been like that ever since high school. But for awhile I bought items in a navy blue thinking "oh it's really close to black, I will probs wear it!". Lo and behold, I never ever did. So I do not buy navy blue anymore :)

[@victoriavargas7935]

After Covid hit... I realized that I did not have enough of the clothing that I needed. I owned only one pair of joggers and I would wear them almost every day to walk dogs and then take them off... I was not able to buy anything when Covid was full blown. After it got better... I went out and bought lots and lots of joggers which is what I usually need to wear more of at this point in my life. I was very very suprised to see that you gave up colors because knowing your best colors is also about minimalism. I see the color palette your attracted to... but I think you would look great in a little bit of color.

[@lesliebeard4505]

Pencil skirts. Short skirts. I want more comfort when I sit. I also do not want to worry over much about how I am sitting and if people can see parts of me I don't want seen.

[@amyli092]

I've made plenty of mistakes when it comes to buying clothing, but when I place a budget on myself and stick to a list of things I need, that allows me to have more money saved in the bank for my future. I remember when I first got into the capsule wardrobe system myself, and since then, I've transitioned out of that mold of having those "absolute essentials" like the white t-shirt or white button up shirt. I honestly just don't enjoy white as much as I used to, and so black is the only basic color I have in my wardrobe as it complements the rest of my very colorful palette.

[@reishiyang5395]

I'm a backpack girl too~ and my dream bag is a Cambridge satchel backpack. It's not vegan but I'm looking forward to find a secondhand of it.

[@thesunandthemoon9995]

You’ve come a long way. My journey is very similar. Lets get that debt free goal and emergency fund done, its so much more important now!

[@yuhansungscoffee]

Liked and subbed!! Key points that were unique and really stood out to me. 1. The concept of the Fantasy self - This was such a revelation. I have bought items that I never realized before, were only to feed some form of fantasy self that I wanted to fulfil. 2. The item wearing you. 3. Buying "staples that are required in every female's wardrobe" - I've fallen prey to this as well. Owning a nude pair, white sneaks, etc., Except those staples come in so many forms and: a. You either end up buying many types of the same staple (eg., 2 types of nude heels, etc.,) b. Your clothes and style are actually much more limited and don't extend to all staples.

[@Tam-us1kf]

Your realization was spot on. I am always giving things away because I don't feel comfortable, it doesn't fit right or bring me joy. Since I am now more in tune to my likes and dislikes, I'm more selective with my clothes when it comes to material, fitting my lifestyle, and my desire to wear them over and over again. I also want to save more money and can't see spending so much on clothing anymore so I am becoming familiar with the life of thrifting. As far as heels....once in five years.

[@beastsbooksandbeauty9136]

I love this! I was exactly the same and I don’t even want to think about how much money I have frittered away over the years on clothes and accessories I did not need or even use. Now I only have clothes that I actually use as I have been getting rid of all the fantasy self items. I live in leggings and T shirts because that’s what suits my life but I don’t even have a ridiculous amount of those anymore. As for that wedding outfit I have 2 dresses and I just pick one of those and repeat them.

[@ginkomug]

I love your channel! I’ve been purging my closet along with you. I no longer buy white pants and button up shirts. Every time I wear white bottoms at the sports medicine clinic where I work, I immediately regret it because I’m always on the floor demoing an exercise and they get ridiculously dirty. I also feel too restricted when I wear button up shirts, finally donated my last one!

[@elizabethsmith1803]

As you get older you will find high heels have actually damaged your feet.

[@mrsbenn1]

@ E S: Agree and shall add, your back as well!

[@akreeger7742]

This is why I stopped wearing them. Any heels have a thicker heel, or a wedge. Otherwise, no thank you!

[@virginiaquinones-rogers3412]

Capsule wardrobes don't work for me. Also went through the " must have items", in fashion. It's very true, what works for one person, may not work for another. What did I do? I decluttered and kept what I feel comfortable in and what I like to wear. Finally I found my style. You nailed it! Good for you.

[@bangcabias8067]

Same here! I wear the same thing in every wedding I attend to. :)

[@Ophelia441]

I feel you on the high heels. I have accepted the fact that heels are my feet’s worst enemy. Also, please do a favorite jeans roundup since I like the same exact jeans as you…loose in the leg but high in the waist.

[@eldanewman6195]

I love your videos and how honest you are about what works for you and not worrying about what others think. You're awesome

[@andreaaviles3978]

Christina, I love seeing how far you've come in only a year with your closet and appreciate your raw transparency about a fantasy self and these "treats" we think we need but aren't "you." I bet it feels like such a relief to have a uniform that you're confident and comfortable in. I wonder, do you know your Kibbe type and did that help you address things that are a fantasy self vs. what you tend to gravitate towards?

[@709sunshine]

Backpack girl here too 😉 lovin this vid.. Really great advice!!! Gotta say I’m with you on all these items. I came to the realization several years ago that I just don’t have a need to wear dresses skirts and heels or anything that makes me feel uncomfortable. I spend a lot of my days outside in the Canadian Rockies and they just don’t fit my lifestyle. So have not purchased these things in many years now and have rid myself of what I for some reason was hanging onto. Having only the items that fit my lifestyle is all I need. I never really purchase new items as I know what I like, I know what I will wear and when I do make the rare purchase I focus on quality and always ask will it fit my lifestyle! ☮️ ❤️

[@BudgetLady]

Love this!!! I used buy lots of clothes. I am on a debt-fee journey. So giving up buying clothes was the best thing I can do. I am loving the slow fashion lifestyle. Black, white and tan is my go to color palettes. 🥰

[@krystiesolfyre5340]

Thank you again for your transparency and sharing that you too are a smaller chested woman, I’m starting to really embrace my body and honestly it’s so beautiful, we all are. Really enjoyed 💕 the video

[@MrsKore20]

I'm totally with you about the heels. I can't wear them anymore because of health issues and after I found my "footwear style" for my former heels moments, I never missed them. So many women complain about heels and they still wear them occasionaly for e. g. weddings because this is what a woman wears then.

[@catkozia6565]

This is very helpful. I am in the midst of a style change and major decluttering after a big loss in my life. Bless you!

[@ckitch10]

Wow.. this video is sooo good and so true. I 100% agree with not buying peoples "essentials" only to be disappointed it didn't work for you. There are some things I have tried and tried and tried and they just don't look or feel right for me so I am with you.. so good!!

[@josephinem.]

Hi Christina, your video popped up in my recommendations. Happy that I clicked on it, as I feel I have found a peer! For years I have been trying colors and clothes that people said were a necessity or on trend. I no longer listen to that and happily wear the clothes I like (black, white, grey and a bit of beige and casual style) It’s liberating! Liked and subscribed of course! Will check out your other videos later today. First going to donate those high heels that I have been keeping in my closet for years and never wear… 😄 Many greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@FernandaGalicia0996]

I feel you with heels; I have several and I'm trying to giveaway to friends or selling bc I don't use enough or I hate them, special with my routine and activities, only lower heels match . As well, I'm not longer buy are spaghetti tanks (like t-shirt), horrible shape, weird areas showing and no no

[@cabbagecrosby1993]

I have a purse I feel is “minimalist.” It’s a wallet and cell phone holder with touch screen access, and has one pocket in the front I carry my mini sketchbook in, a couple pens, and chapstick. It could fit sunglasses instead, but I don’t tend to wear those usually, unlike my husband who wears his almost daily, lol. it WAS called “the weekender,” and apparently now called “Traveler. It’s $60, and the brand is called “Save The Girls.” They named it that to try to discourage women from carrying their phones in their bras, and then getting breast cancer. You’d have to check dimensions tho to see if it would fit your phone size, they have other bags for different sizes of phones.

[@blueskyvan4118]

TRUTH!!! One of your best videos!

[@SonyaandSidney]

Amen on the high heels! I do a lot of walking. I will wear kitten and short block heels if they're comfortable, but otherwise it's a big NO!

[@heatherp7836]

That wedding ensemble you had on is 🔥 🔥 🔥!

[@christinamanucy8037]

Excellent points. Your list of no-buys corresponds closely with mine, except for color-I don’t wear black or beige. Also I no longer buy any jeans, skinny or otherwise.

[@laurab4570]

I’m obsessed with your Ana Luise cardi set so I had to invest into it yesterday! I’ve been wanting some staple jewelry, but I haven’t purchased because I couldn’t find anything I truly loved. I placed my order yesterday 😃

[@tanyal7122]

Having less and less in my closet has helped me discover that I like my clothes. It helps me so much when I pick out things I like to wear. I still slip up and buy things my Pinterest self liked and I put it on and it doesn't feel like me. But I'm learning who the real me is at 49 and it feels great. I never would have thought that less in my closet would feel so good. I JUST LOVE YOUR CONTENT❤❤❤

[@ca6177]

I 100% agree, I haven't owned a skirt or dress for decades! I don't feel comfortable in them at all! High heels and me don't get along ether! No color either, black , white, grey, and navy, that's about it! Glad you said it, makes me feel good about my style!

[@maryleegagne]

Thank you about the skinny jeans comment. I like both the skinny and straight but have spent a lot of money on skinny and want to wear them because of that-well and also I like they way the fit.

[@claremcguinness196]

Good for you, I am going through that transition at the moment too, and it feels great, I feel like I'm finding my true self 👍❤

[@MorKing86]

I feel you about the purses. Somewhere over the years, I just started hated carrying them. Besides a nice oversized tote for work and travel, I'd like to invest in a nice well made leather backpack purse.

[@nhlsuperstar1987]

A stranger on the internent said it's and absalute must have. Wow that hit home. Thank you, cause you hit that one out of the parck, cause it's true words. Where listing to stranger on how to dress ourself and alowing them to let us out of our style ( it is our fault for that, knot there's. That's knot what i'm saying) but it is true, that's what we do, go get the items that's a must have and it sits in our closet and more money gone to waste. Thank you for this video

[@BetwixtDandD]

I hated skirts and dresses! But then I discovered alternative style and now I'm loving wearing unusual cuts and materials in black colour.

[@IAMLITTLEALIENcom]

I did terrible mistake once to start working in an area that I wasnt very comfortable in and I tried to fit in so bad that I bought many dresses and shoes just to please the people at work and make them think I am professional that when I left, I never wore those clothes again so I am now in process of selling/giving away those items and I wish I saved my money before. I work from home nowdays and I never felt such freedom to dress however I want.

[@AprilBelle83]

Ditto for skirts, dresses and heels! I’m a casual girl all the way and have learned to wear that proudly.

[@_inflection3209]

I wore a dress for the first time since I was a wee girl! (Like when I still wore pink cos Mama bought it for me) boy did I feel good and completely out of my comfort zone. Lots of fun. But luckily I bought everything second hand so if I do buy anything it's second hand. It's nice to know yourself. I can honestly say I'm a fluid concept, I think I always will be, and it's fun to experiment.

[@lara_xy]

I stopped buying "dressy" event clothes. I don't know what my logic was considering I literally never go to any events, yet I have 4 dresses I've never worn outside of the house (that I am trying to sell) and they are like a bad reminder of my past fast-fashion buying self that would buy without thinking

[@lisawyckoff7070]

I have rid my closet of skinny jeans. Never liked them anyway but finally got some about 3 years ago. Now I can't stand the tightness around my lower legs.....goes for leggings also.... GONE! Loose fit is more comfortable for me.

[@aditisiddharth6472]

I’ve discovered variations of what u mention and I’ve been moving towards just being myself too.

[@daffidalswuli]

I feel your realization is a bit too extreme. From doing all those hauls videos to only wear black, white and denim, it’s a huge mindset shift. I believe u must have truly found your personal style and don’t really care about all other items that don’t suit your personal style anymore. It’s wonderful to have that realization and feel confident and comfortable in what u wear.

[@amma7244]

Now I buy for my future self or abstain. If I can’t use it in casual retired life in four years or it won’t last or hold my interest that long I pass. Still ridding closet of fantasy self stuff don’t need more. I’m just not that fancy.

[@moldypotatochip]

I stopped buying jeans/pants with scratchy tags at the back of the waistband. I don't want to always have to tuck a shirt into my pants in order just to wear them. Also I like color but I stopped wearing white lol. I do wear mostly black/gray which I think looks fine with colors but for whatever reason I don't ever wear white so I stopped buying it and don't feel guilty for letting go of every item of white clothes. I find skirts and dresses to be very comfortable and most of my wardrobe is made up of them. Totally agree with you on the heels though, I don't have any.

[@defitfanaat]

There she is!🤩👏

[@Christinamychas]

Helluuuu! 🥰

[@krystenverdecia4189]

I stopped buying heels, and just uncomfortable shoes. I want to stop buying clothes with a lot of details and can just be wore once. I want more staples that go with everything. I also stop buying so many purses. I do believe I need to get better. But I just decluttered my clothes. And I’m going to be a mom now. So I want to have clothes that’s easy to wear and goes well with everything and any day.

[@TheEmzies]

Agree with handbags and purses. I cart a laptop around and so a backpack works for me. My 1 purse comes out about once a month.

[@valerier6824]

I just donated six pairs of skinny jeans. I've come to the realization that boot cut or straight styles work best for my body shape.

[@Username0029]

Saammmeee!!! Idk why I’ve been wearing skinny jeans all this time. 😩 I’m obsessed with straight and boot cut

[@dianegeee]

Stopped buying heels as well! I gear more towards neutrals as well!

[@samanthaharrell7342]

I love this video. I wear the heck out of dresses and love owning them. However, I can’t wear those neutrals that are so popular right now. I need jewel tones and bold colors. I’ve come to accept that those are my colors.

Thank you for this "awakening" video! I hope i can start this positive journey as well ❤

[@jamie7002]

I stopped buying blazers (never wear and don’t fit my SAHM life) and heels (ouch!), but mostly I stopped buying trendy fun activewear. I realized I only ever wear black, high-waisted leggings or joggers, and a certain style of sports bra. I would always buy the cool new printed leopard print, neons, etc but I never wore them, mostly because a) I didn’t feel confident in them ( they were too busy and were definitely “wearing me”) and b) no matter how expensive or good quality a brand claims to be… I have never ever found a non-black pair of leggings that passed the squat test. Black ones sometimes will fail as well, but they tend to be a lot less obvious when they are see thru. My fashion go to is always high waisted shorts or flowy linen pants with a more snug tank or tee, or a midi-wrap dress. With Chelsea boots, flat sandals, or white converse depending on the season.

[@Maya-kz1wq]

I did completely opposite and still figuring out my style…😅

[@angelwings1]

I’m by with you. I’m not a jerk person too. But I did but some smaller heels for two weddings coming up. Others trainers or boots.

[@yeon1573]

i stop buying skinny jeans as well because it is so hard to find that fits me perfectly and my legs look like sticks when i use skinny jeans 😂 i am leaning towards loose jeans and heck, they are so goood and i dont have to worry about what my legs will look like

[@radenxo]

I have stopped buying blazers as i just never wear them. Kept 1 for work specific stuff that comes up but thats really it. I have stopped buying multiple kinds of dress shoes as i realized i just wear sneakers every day and dress shoes are just uncomfortable to walk in all day. Similar to your skinny jeans i stopped buying slim fit pants as they just dont work for me and i end up not wearing them becausee they are uncomfortable, now i just do straight leg.

I feel you! This is a perfect example of how someone’s “go-to” may not necessarily be someone else’s! (Eg the blazers) ❤️
