MY WARDROBE WISHLIST 2023 | 5 Questions To Ask Before ANY Purchase

[@jademaruko8585]

Love how you explain your wishlist and relate to the tips, very helpful and makes the content even more relevant to your listeners, well done, Helen

[@DailyHelenJ]

Oh I'm so glad they were helpful :) Thank you so so much xx

[@kimfaherty2978]

That Denim skirt is just perfect, Helen. I appreciate how well considered your purchases are.

[@leaflyd]

The five questions for reference :) 1. Does it *compete* with something else in *my wardrobe*? 2. Does it suit *both* my *aesthetic and body type*? 3. Does this piece make dressing well *easier*? 4. What is the expected *cost per wear*? 5. When would I *actually* wear it? (Think of recent examples)

[@sarapintodasilva51]

it's refreshing to see you talk about possible new purchases that are not the same as anyone else's... cheers to that!

[@constancapages]

I really appreciate your content! I've always had trouble deciding what to purchase and during these last years I've become more and more aware of the importance of only purchasing something I will *really* wear, to avoid over-consumption. Your tips are both useful and simple at the same time, and I truly needed someone to make this kind of content: how to find clothes you love and want to wear for years, instead of haul after haul of new clothes every season. So thank you💖

I love that denim skirt! The green tank looks nicer on you than the beige (in my humble opinion!) Can't wait to see your sweater!!

[@sarinijssen2735]

Would you consider doing a video on how to start knitting? Tips/tricks/recommendations for a total beginner? I'm thinking of taking it up this winter but no idea where to start, and I love the sweaters you knitted!

[@DailyHelenJ]

Can definitely consider this! :) I'm more of a beginner too - just starting to attempt some more complicated patterns but can definitely look at doing a vlog where I share the basics to get started. I think it's so rewarding to knit. I highly recommend checking out Kutovakika on YT, her content is amazing.

[@hannaa8289]

the denim skirt fits you so well, absolutely mesmerizing

[@Fem_ke-i2l]

Thanks for sharing Helen, the cost per wear is sth interesting to consider ❤. Since this year I am also using a wishlist, after decluttering my closet. I am asking myself also the question if I am going to wear the clothes on every occasion. Does it suits me and my body type are also valueble questions. A belt and a new jacket for autumn are also on my wishlist. But it might take some months before I am really buying the pieces. I also noticed that when I am feeling more emotional, I am more tempted to buy. Which is really a challenge. So this questions are very helpful 🙂

[@notaclue822]

It's great to hear about the considerations you have before you go ahead and buy things. I like those Everlane jeans and I think you and I are similar in size and shape, so I'm tempted to take a look at those. I love the pants too. About the knitting, I also knit. It's a great passtime and you can make all sorts of really beautiful things.

[@DailyHelenJ]

Oh I love that you also knit! I've gotten into it this year and I've been addicted. It's a great way to be away from the screen sometimes and it's just so satisfying to see the progress row after row :)

[@notaclue822]

@@DailyHelenJ FYI I did order those jeans but they're too big on me. I do find online tricky. They are really nice jeans though and I might get a size smaller, 25. I think those might fit the way I like and still not be too tight. Oh and they don't charge any postage even though I'm in Canada, which is unusual.

[@emilychen2036]

Really appreciate your thoughtful styling ideas! You always made me rethink how to style more strategically. ❤❤❤

[@DailyHelenJ]

Thank you Emily!! :) I'm so glad

[@skhootman]

Sweater No. 18 is in my knitting queue, too, though I think I'm planning to make it in some gray yarn I have in my stash. I have to swatch to see if it will work.. I fell in love with the texture when I saw it on Instagram. It'll be lovely in that color.

[@DailyHelenJ]

I do love the texture of Sweater no.18. I hope it works out with your yarn :)

[@jentijerina7980]

I live for your weekly KZbin videos!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 always so helpful and insightful.

[@DailyHelenJ]

Aw thank you, I really appreciate it !! xx

[@jnada101]

loved this video!

[@jumplc]

This was very helpful, great tips :)

[@cadams07]

I love your channel! What is the white drawstring skirt worn with the lulu tops in the fitting room!?! Thanks!

[@mansoor3159]

You know it's going to be a best best Monday whenever Helen post's🥺💗💫

[@DailyHelenJ]

Aww hope you're having the loveliest week and for always watching - I really appreciate it xx

[@jingyiwang9078]

Love your knitwear idea! What’s the pattern called and what’s the yarn? 😊

[@DailyHelenJ]

The knitwear pattern is my favourite things sweater no18 - the yarn is Bellissimo 100% merino wool in colour 216 :) Thank you xx

[@jaderhiece4318]

I have the alpha60 in black. It’s a great design 😊

[@seonmi1412]

Thanks for another great video! My issue is buying the same type of clothes that I love, so thinking about whether the new item would compete with my existing stuff 😅 Btw, I also love an off the shoulder top and really like your navy one because it looks very flattering and the material looks substantial. Please can I ask where that one is from? Thanks!

[@Lau-057]

I swear everything you purchase is something I just put on my wishlist! Our styles are so similar! that skirt is to die for 😭

[@QuynhAnhNguyen-vr4ew]

Same as me 😅 just curious- do you own any pieces that Helen has?

[@Lau-057]

@@QuynhAnhNguyen-vr4ew hey yes I have some uniqlo tops and her scotch and soda tshirt (creatures of the sea) + my jeans are Lee but the same shapes as her picks, but still my overall style is a bit more colorful than Helens so a lot less grey and more brown and blue as neutrals :) (I'm also a pale ginger so I tend to fit low to medium contrast better than Helens high contrast)

[@Lau-057]

@@QuynhAnhNguyen-vr4ew oh and also the Sezane Leontine! but my budget isnt as great as hers so although id want tje designer bags, for the life of me I cannot afford them as a student

[@DailyHelenJ]

Aww you guys!! :)) So so happy that you found something you liked on my channel. We must share a lot of the same taste and style hehe.

[@Justalittletree]

Hello, Love your videos! where is the grey cropped blazer from with the pockets flaps? I couldn't find it in the links.

[@tulipsandpeaches1834]

13:12 what knit sweater is that? :)

[@lori7196]

Where is your off shoulder navy top from?

[@DailyHelenJ]

From Kookai :) Found it in the sale section a few months back but they might still have them as I saw the top again recently xx

[@lori7196]

@@DailyHelenJ Thank you. What size did you get?

[@nanase21]

I wish these brands had my size available. Other than that I can just watch to appreciate your style and thoughtfulness :(

[@hris9214]

Hi Helen! Just wondering if the Dunst jacket is worth the price for you? Is it comfortable to wear?

[@DailyHelenJ]

I think it might be worth waiting for a sale with BF around the corner. I do believe W-Concept will be having a big sale then. I find this jacket to be really really lovely - nice structure, good versatile weight and just very chic. I find it very comfy to wear :)

[@marycosgrove1587]

Love your choices. But I think you could of went a couple inches longer on your trousers. Especially the first pair. If your short, the two inches will make a huge difference in how you look and make your legs look so much longer. I love to knit also and it's fun to actually design the sweaters you love and in the color of your choice. Ty for a great video.

[@DailyHelenJ]

Thank you Mary :) I do LOVE a long trouser for elongating the leg. I often wear flats/sandals so with those shoes, these pants will actually sit at full length. When I wear a small heel, they come up a little shorter. I find this length to be the most versatile so I can wear the pant no matter what shoe I go for. But potentially a few pairs of longer pants could be very chic

[@Djl472]

Where do you find time to knit and make videos? You’re so productive (vs. me laying in bed….)

[@DailyHelenJ]

Hahaha!! It is a struggle. I am quite slow at knitting - so it might take me 1-2 months to do a sweater. Usually it might just be 20-30 minutes a night and then I'll have some longer blocks on the weekend.

[@33Jenesis]

I think you look better wearing 1” to 1.5” wide belts. 2” or more width doesn’t look nice with your trouser preference (would look good with a line midi or pencil midi skirt).
