Make The Most Of Your Wardrobe | Rediscover What You Have

[@wandagambling6523]

I'd add that when choosing your basics don't be afraid of choosing a bright color as your basic. You don't have to fall into the minimalist hole of just black, white and gray. I've chosen blue, a friend does purple. Just shop knowing what color your basics are.

[@АлияХамидуллина-ы3ц]

Here’s what I like to do: changing buttons, adding embroidery, painting T-shirts with acrilic paint, dyeing, changing length (works with everything from skirts to coats), taking several items apart and making a new one (I made flared jeans from 2 or 3 old pairs). I’m not into appliqué and trims but you can use them as well. Also if you have a sewing machine you may use some decorative stitching if it suits your style. Knitted items can be easily unraveled to knit something new. If the quality of the yarn is high you can do this several times.

I love that lilac top with the brown pants. It's so soft and feminine looking. It looks really natural on you and I would never have expected it to look so good.

[@Hag_of_Fangorn]

Video of the "tiny alterations" please.

[@sonichfrollein9130]

When an item doesn't smell fresh anymore for whatever reason, it helps to put it into a bucket with water and some vinegar, leave it in there over night and then wash it. This way I have saved some otherwise perfectly fine tops.

[@whit2642]

So nich Frollein You can also mix some with water and a tiny bit of fab softener gives you frebeZe and wrinkle release!

[@1infoful]

I also will add clothes should be soaked time to time with vinegar. It is a great cleaning method!

[@tf7602]

Proud outfit repeater! The more I wear sth, the more comfortable I am in it. Sometimes I even have to "break in" new items, but as soon as I have worn them for a bit, they just feel more like "me".

[@fictionalhuman]

Great tips! I am a constant repeat wearer of my clothes. I have several of the same basic t-shirts I bought in high school, and I am 30 now. When you find a good fit, why change?

[@truelycold]

MA’AM your eyeliner is always so neat and on point!

[@darlinglittlethree5860]

I love that you mentioned the sweater dress dilemma because as you said how you found you could make them work, was exactly how I'm wearing my outfit today! Just had this discovery over the past weekend when I almost got rid of them for the same reason lol

[@ilovemyOKI]

The thing I did with the sweater dress I have is I put a slip under it and the small lace on the bottom makes it look so cute

[@joannaerhardt7294]

Great tips! Thank you!!! Ever since I started dressing vintage I don't buy as many new clothes because the pieces that I have are versatile and I'm learning to shop my own closet to mix and match new combinations. It feels good to minimize my footprint!

[@retto1155]

I never really considered how simple it was to just change the silhouette or the general flavour of a certain piece. I've got a lot of very feminine clothes from back when I was in high school that I've tried to cycle out since I've come out as trans, but I could probably get away with wearing a lot of it with just some slight alterations. I have a very edgy sense of style so I can give my skinny jeans a new life and wear a chunky jacket over some fitted tshirts. I'll take your advice and play the matching game as soon as my laundry is done :)

[@Loepsie]

Good luck! 😄

[@boo1993]

I love cutting dresses into tops especially the ones I grow out of or get older and feel they're too short for me

[@Shirinatra]

Great tips! 👏🏻 I also totally agree with you on repeating outfits.

[@alyalvarado1667]

I love going thrift shopping, because I always feel less bad about buying something new when it has been thrifted instead of being brand new from whatever store (also, because it usually costs less if it is thrifted). I am absolutely an outfit repeater, I have a dozen or so dresses, but most of them I can wear shirts underneath that can completely change the vibe, and I have a few different jackets/sweaters and purses to change the look as well. It also helps that my wardrobe is pretty much just black, pink, and a soft blue, with some reds and whites mixed in for variety, which makes my clothing really easy to mix and match.

[@GOLD-q9l]

You're adorable! Thank you for making such high quality videos and for being a great inspiration, all the way to Norway!

[@momoyome]

Dyeing clothing. Omg so simple why did I never think of that. Best idea you’ve come up with. I love black jeans but I stopped buying them because I could never preserve them, they’d always look like crap after a while. Great content!!!!!

[@hibiscus10moon]

i've dyed my black jeans before, but they ended up more of a purple color. read the labels carefully, that's all i can say!

[@palehorchata4281]

It happened to me too but now i just flip then inside out, just wash with detergent, and dry with them still inside out. I had noticed that as soon as i stopped using fabric softener my clothes would last a lot longer.

[@carolinevidemark8564]

So good to hear you mention the issue of microplastic! Here in Denmark it's hot to use homeknitted kitchencloths for the same reason, but hardly any are concerned about all the microplastics from clothing...

[@claudiawongborenpadron4973]

Huge fan of recycling clothes from relatives specially if they are from other decades love to bring them back update them, or just enjoy using them and take care of them, one of my favorites is a swater from the 60's from my gradma has the best quality.

[@lawaters95]

I found that keeping a Stylebook (iPhone)/YourCloset (Android) of what I have in my closet to be quite helpful! It can take a TON of work to add everything that you own if you have a lot of clothes, but they have a whole planning section that lets you automatically pair together everything (in whatever categories you choose) and save the outfits that you think would look good. It's a good way to test out a bunch of different things and pair clothing you may not have before. It also helps to see if things clash up front.

[@violetB94]

That's a great advice. Thank you for sharing those apps.

[@Crustdaddii]

The black turtle neck looks amazing with those trousers! It would look so good with some oxblood loafers!

[@ChrysoulaKechagioglou]

I totally loved your brown paperback trousers!

[@greeeneyes91]

I love layering my clothes to get new looks. For example taking a blouse that I normally wear as the statement piece, but putting a cardigan over it so that only parts of the blouse are showing. When I studies abroad and didnt have a lot of clothes with me, i would also take t-shirts and turn them on the „wrong“ side so that the cut out on the back would be in the front, offering me new ways to combine it with basics. I also often took dresses and wore them as skirts, or long skirts as dresses together with a belt. Nobody ever noticed ;)

[@GreenMartha]

I love the whole spirit behind this video, we need to get more use of the clothes already in existence !

[@adriennegonzales2636]

I'm also learning that if I find a piece I really like to either go find more of it online or to trace it to make new ones later. I have a sweater I just got that I love the fit on and I am going to make a patter of the cut before I wash it. I'm sure I can make it in a chunky knit and get a similar result.

[@madmouseille]

I have a couple of loose fitting shirts I absolutely love and I've been thinking about doing exactly that. Shirts like that in basic colors are surprisingly tough to find

[@JocelynKaB]

10:09 I know right🤦🏾‍♀️ I’ll rewear an outfit as many times as I want if I know it looks good

[@karoma5805]

Thanks for the tips and spreading the eco clothing message. I think your perspective has helped me snap out of the fast fashion cycle in some ways by giving an alternative... Also seeing you approach fashion in a timeless way is helpful as then I see it is possible, and you seem very content in not keeping up with the societal norms of consumerism-I think you've showed me a different way if looking at it and I appreciate that. Thanks.

[@jessicadyer4099]

This was such a good video! I never would have thought to do half of the things you said and it's such great advice to share for the planet :) Thank you ❤️

[@juditb196]

Wow, this video is so well put together! I already use most of the tips you mentioned, but there were a few I want to adapt in my life so thank you!

[@moonstrukk126]

I totally agree...not repeating an outfit is ridiculous! If I love it I'm going to wear it all the time! Great tips thanks!

[@gemineyyy]

Amazing video Lucy! So important to make the most of our wardrobes and not add to the fashion waste. Absolutely love your channel and vibes! Cant wait for the next video 😊😊

[@karoma5805]

Also have you heard of a capsule wardrobe? I am trying to build one but I think it will take some time as I figure out what I'm most comfortable in

[@angelicaquiggle2591]

Fantastic ideas! Thank you! I always love your style.

[@sekaihatsu]

Thanks for sharing! I too play the matching game it has helped a lot in condensing my wardrobe. It's videos like yours that have helped me look at my clothes in different ways, ask different questions ("Does this spark joy?") and try to figure out what I want to get out of my wardrobe (love everything in it and wear it all) so I go through my clothes frequently. I think I'm getting close to the wardrobe of my dreams.

[@artsyanne1192]

Thank you so much for making this video! I never would’ve thought of all these different ways to make the most of my wardrobe. Such great ideas!

[@onnalynn7004]

UR SO AWESOME!❤🖤🤩 I already knew and do most of this, but knowing u do the same is heartwarming.😊 BTW...those brown pants u used for the example...looked INCREDIBLE with that cute lace top/tanktop/thingie...lol.👏 (U could even try putting ur black turtleneck UNDER the lace top, and wear it like that with the brown pants?👍👍👍 IDEA!?) And yes the purpleish jumper with the brown pants was ADORABLE! It made the pants look more brown!👍 AS ALWAYS! Thank you for being you, and i appreciate ur videos soooo much!😘👍👌 I dont always comment...but ive watched ALL of ur vids!😉 (PS. COULD U POSSIBLY DO MORE REGENCY INSPIRED LOOKS? Like modernizing the style especially? And like Regency hairstyles. And possibly if ur up for it, making ur own Regency dress...simple...? I LOVED the Regency stuff u did, and i WANT MORE! LOL PLEEEASE!😁😁😁🙏🙏🙏🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻)

[@rachelpederson9688]

This was very helpful! Can't wait to go through my clothes now!

[@casssssssssssss]

I was wondering if you might be able to give us some basic tutorials on altering some pieces. I know there are many out there but I think the way you present things in your videos is really nice and calming Thank you for this video! I’m actually considering what I can dye or sew now. I’m looking for new, more permanent pieces as well. I’m in my twenties just out of college but now a mother. I have friends wearing micro outfits and partying and others in full on comfort forward outfits that seem too undone for me. I don’t really like either style or find it appropriate anymore 😂 how to be fashionable, youthful, yet appropriate for a mom is something I’m trying to navigate. I used to be confident in what I wear but now I have to figure that out again

[@irenapostolovska1754]

Love you girl, you are so positive and make mu day already better ❤️🤗

My friend bought the same top and the same leggings in different colours once she found out she finds them very comfortable and flattering. Then she turned to me and said "ah, one step closer to fully becoming a cartoon character." :'D

[@bestanali6127]

very useful video ❤

[@fishandchips2331]

I used to do a lot of crazy matching game when I was a teen.

[@Legawien84]

Isn't redying clothes is quite environment unfriendly though, coz all the dye will go down the drain and get into the water system? Or are there eco-friendly dyes?

[@agees924]

Legawien84 RIT dye is non toxic and safe to the environment. If the clothing is made of natural fibers, there are many fruits and vegetable dyes you can experiment with.

[@onnalynn7004]

There ARE some eco friendly and low impact clothing dyes. Ive used them personally. And there are ways to make ur own dyes at home as well, with all natural products...but u dont use those in a washer. AND u dont HAVE TO use the ones that u put into the washer...u could use a big plastic or metal tub to dye the clothes in filled with water, and once ur done dying either 1.Dump out the dyed water into a rocky or dirt only area, with no water drains or sources nearbye, and that would do very minimal impact to anything other than maybe a few bugs...and u could even cover it up with dirt or rocks so no puddles are left. OR 2.Leave the water with dye sitting outside, in warmer weather, and allow all the liquid to be evaporated for a couple days, and then rinse out the minimal remaining dye onto again a rocky or dirt area. I PERSONALLY have a HUGE area in my yard of rocks(a company gave us the wrong rocks, large ones not crushed, so we have a pile of them) and i just dye over there. There is no way for it to get into any water systems over there. And is very low impact. And ive used eco friendly and not eco friendly dyes. Ive also used the kind u throw in the washer...buuut prefer the other way more. HOPE THIS HELPS!😉
