[@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.

[@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.

[@ros8986]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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”.

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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:)

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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 🌻

[@spiicyliime22]

My problem is that I haven't changed sizes since high school (minus having my kids) so my mindset was always keep it because it still fits... but my daughter is almost the size of me now and I have given her a couple things from my drawer that she wanted, but... I need to let go of teenager me and embrace being in my late thirties and try some new styles... I just find clothes shopping really overwhelming and not enjoyable, so I've just been using what I have for so long now that it doesn't occur to me that changing things up could be really good for me and help my confidence too :)

[@thiftingmybestlife]

[@kellyfonseca8330]

[@an6516]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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]

[@udeshnasonowal258]

Recently I've started to hate my wardrobe because it's full of clothes that I've worn hardly once or twice and also can't give them away because they are expensive. There are lots of office-wear that I actually need and also lots of vacation wear and casuals that could have worked with a minimal. I have organised it well though. Now after seeing your video, I am thinking a way to make a bang for the buck. Thanks for inspiring us.❤ from India.

[@cg50621Q]

Terrific! I am going through the wardrobe blahs right now and appreciated the great tips. While you may not have chosen “Karen” intentionally as the critical friend, I respectfully request you and others let go of that name as shorthand. I appreciate all your great content and look forward to what’s next! Thanks for all you do.

[@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.

[@gray5828]

One of my favourite things that's often underrated is to have a small handful of tshirts/vest tops (always plain black for me!) where the focus is purely on the cut (muscle fit preferred). Nothing fancy. I'm coming to realise that it's attractive 100% of the time, and despite being technically plain, it's never boring when you feel like you enjoy your shape in something.

[@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

[@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 🎉

[@katherineandini5962]

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

[@BG_NC]

I find that I hate my wardrobe when I end up wearing the same 3 outfits because that's what's at the front of my closet and dresser drawers - basically, when everything gets hidden away. Removing my closet doors and regularly reorganizing has really helped!

[@MLCruz13]

This is me. Overflowing closet. I go in and stand and say ugh....I have nothing to wear and I don't look good in anything. I've gotten rid of nearly 10 garbage bags of stuff over last year.....but I just bring home more thinking I've found "the" item. Number 1, 8, and 10 hit me. I really need to reevaluate things in there. Figure out what I feel and look best in.

[@patriciaellinghausen4365]

Same , same here. One thing i started with was fabric type. I just don't wear polyester.

[@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!

[@vivio2852]

I gained weight during covid and am reluctant to get rid my clothes that don't fit. I'm ok with my weight gain, I rather not have it but it is what it is. I'm not going to beat myself up, I know why it happened and am not quite in the place to work on it (but it's coming). My thought is to hold on to my clothes until I lose weight and then see if I want to keep them. In the meantime, they are not in my closet, I have clothes that fit and I like wearing there.

[@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.

[@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!

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! ❤

[@gracieluf424]

I recommend digitizing your wardrobe so that you are able to see EXACTLY how many pieces you own, what you may need to purchase if your wardrobe is lacking a few staple items, and also to mix outfits you wouldn’t otherwise have come up with before since had forgotten about 80% of the pieces you own.

[@katharinemace9241]

I love that idea and am curious if you have any app recommendations?

[@gracieluf424]

@@katharinemace9241 I was using Whering but I noticed that I would save an item and had pinned a few tags ( color, occasion, material, etc.) and it wouldn’t save. I have A LOT of clothes so it was tedious having to go back and ensure my progress had saved. I’ve been using Open Wardrobe and so far I like it. Haven’t finished adding all my pieces but so far I like it more.

[@ros8986]

of another insightful and eloquent video. WOuld love you to do a collab with Hannah Louise Poston - as you are both such insighful and eloquent people. I would also love if you would do a video about differentiating what clothes can do, and what they can't do - that might seem negative but we waste so much time, energy and money trying to find solutions in the wrong places.

I knew who I was before suffering an illness. I was bed bound for seven months. During that time I bought lots of new clothes. Unfortunately the medication I take has meant I’ve put on weight.

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! :)

[@sizewiseclosetcoach]

Really love your work! ❤💯Great tips on overcoming the wardrobe blahs. Thanks for sharing!

[@shirleyguy7152]

Thank you…so helpful 🙏🏻

[@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.

[@TaniaMcCartney]

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

[@themoores4467]

I hate my wardrobe and it was only yesterday, I figured out why. Yesterday! This weekend I had a professional organizer come in and attack my master bath and closet. It was only after she organized my closet, I realized that I have only formal ‘work’ clothes and work out wear. I don’t have any casual clothes or less formal work clothes - which is my life in the hybrid work world. And seriously, no idea until I could see everything yesterday.

[@yifatjovani333]

This is a good start, to explore what style of casual clothes will make you feel amazing and align with your personality! It can be so much fun!

[@Shirumoon]

How much did the organizer cost (and what exactly did they help you with) if you don't mind me asking? I think about getting such a consultation from time to time but I imagine it to be obscenely expensive so I never properly look into it.

[@jbar234]

When you said 💩or get off the pot! My husband says that all the time 😂 I appreciate your insight and advice it really is helpful and resonates with me so thank you and keep up the great content!

[@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.

[@gilliangamble8901]

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

[@AG-dx4vu]

I love your content Christina 💖 this video rang true on so many levels! Thank you so much 🥰

[@sheilakosoff5806]

This was so helpful. My style is definitely evolving. I am trying to transition from all black to navy. I realized that I have about 3 uniforms and I am working on f embracing them. I am still trying to let go of that pandemic fantasy self I created. I play dress up to keep my style interesting t and also accessories are really important. It is there I can play with color .

[@Christinamychas]

I’ve added some navy too this year! Haha is navy the new black?

[@melaniemcneil407]

@@Christinamychas maybe, but also it's a little softer and more flattering on the skin as we get older.

[@Future-zx9ts]

I LOVE navy. I feel like it is so chic and polished. Plus, it pairs well with so many colors, even more so than black, imo, bc it isn’t as harsh a contrast for some colors.

[@lenise7726]

I am also consciously moving more toward navy pieces instead of black. Just seems softer against my skin as I age.

[@zoebrooksmnjhuiolmko1508]

My style is casual. I wear dark wash jeans that I dress up or down with the top and shoes I choose.

[@alyssiahstyles]

Great video! Thank you for the helpful tips!

[@annagordova1241]

Thank you for this video ❤ Very helpful 😊

[@lawyerLoke]

A few years ago i had a big shift in my life and got more comfortable with myself and thus wanted to basically change my entire (minimalist already) wardrobe to a completely different style. I just didnt know what that style was, and I shopped around for so many clothes (thankfully just 2nd hand) but most of the stuff I bought I ended up not wearing. Took me a while to realize I was shopping for a fantasy self that I tried to aspire to for a while but in the end had to accept that it wasnt me. So I thought about it a lot and eventually went back to the style that I had in high school, a very simple rock-chic style, and I love it. It sucks that it took me so long to get there though! I wasted a lot of money on clothes that I ended up giving away, haha. Glad it was second hand at least, cannot imagine the costs if everything wouldve been bought new! o.o Now im happy with my new minimalist wardrobe again, where every piece mostly fits together with everything else so i basically never have to think about clothing combinations i can just grab w.e is clean!

[@katerinabilkova5679]

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 :)

[@lively2242]

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.

[@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

[@CoolInOlympia]

Great points!

[@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!

[@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! 🥰👌

[@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!!!

[@victoriaannmiddleton318]

Brilliant and sensible advice

[@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.

[@mariawelling4194]

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

[@13lindamarie]

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

[@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]

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!! 😍🙌🏾

[@elizabethwright4784]

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

[@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.🌺🌻🏵
