✨🎀 Don't Rush Your Wardrobe 🎀✨

“this sign can’t stop me, because i can’t read!”

[@dollfacedotcult]

honestly I went into alternative fashion with a lot of disposable income - as a minor with a job but not paying rent yet - and super expected it to be very quick and easy to start my pastel wardrobe. it took me a pretty long while of buying exclusively statement pieces to realize I needed a *capsule wardrobe* to start, and *then* do the fun things. I only found your channel like 3 days ago but I'm loving it and we're in line on a lot of things, so I'm really glad I found you. keep it up babey ur a force to be reckoned with

[@TheStitchess]

The base capsule is the most important part but the statement pieces are the most ~fun~ part :/

[@tanyavolansky5042]

I'm running into that now lol XD Need to add in a back brace so why not corset?? XD Buuut now nothing fits quite right/ def. have a statement piece issue hahaha - still having trouble finding basic shirts that don't "tent" me (50b but corset make me a 36w lolz) And when it's already hard to get alt. fashion in big sizes I have a bad omg it fits I NEED this habit >.>

[@sketchingstudio5552]

Saaame. I started really getting into fashion as a tween, but I wasn't focussed on my style. All I knew was that I had twenty dollars to spend and a Kmart nearby to get low quality, badly designed t-shirts from. Yay! But then I realised that maybe I didn't need a grey polyester t-shirt with minnie mouse printed all over it. Maybe there was a reason all the clothes I bought were on sale for $2-5. So instead of treating clothes like a cheap adrenaline rush, I treated them like a work-in-progress artwork. It's going well.

[@dollfacedotcult]

@@tanyavolansky5042 def! when I find something even mildly cute that happens to come in my (plus) size, it's like I HAVE to buy it. even if I don't like it all that much. I'm like a cat in a box lmao

I love how YT put an AliExpress advert on this video when I've opened it... Hysterical

[@charlottecole9637]

it is so true that when you move away from the fast-fashion you get way pickier, I have been moving away from fast fashion for the past year and I'm trying to explore more of a feminine retro fashion. Your channel has helped me so much explore more of an alternative route throughout my fashion journey

[@mirandamunoz1356]

I clicked this video so fast while dolphin squealing. Your videos are quickly becoming my some of my faves. ❤️

[@TinaHarris]

Same here! I was so glad to see this. I just found this channel a few days ago and it's quickly become my favorite! I've been binge-watching ever since.

[@vengeful.c0s376]

Right now im trying to build up a wardrobe of quite a bit. Since im 15 and are with my parents still. I feel like now is the best time to build up with main things. So that when i move out and start life styling my lolita fashion, I'll already have plenty of items but if i ever want something new, it'll be easy to get. Cause ya know. If i dont need it. I already have enough for wearing. Then i can pay rent and eat food. And extra money can all go to my lolita wardrobe and cosplay hobby uwu

[@sketchingstudio5552]

That's my plan too! While I'm not into lolita, I am into alternative fashion and I know that's not going to change. There's no need for me to waste my hard-earned money on low-quality products when I have the means to really care about what I buy. So when I'm going to University and stuff I'll already be happy with my wardrobe and I can focus on the loans and books and whatnot.

[@shenenigans2037]

Me, too! I'm building up my basics now, while I have the freedom to be horribly picky, and invest in quality. I don't know how much my style will shift in the coming years, but unless I pull a hard 180, I'm still going to want the same basics (*cough* mostly black *cough*). This way, if my taste does change a bit, all I need are new statement pieces. And if it stays the same, then I can put my money and time into fun pieces, or into the rest of my life. I don't expect to have a very stable income once I turn 18, and knowing I'll have clothes I love, and that will last, and it won't be taking all of my income, is a really comforting thought. :)

[@ruliak]

I would love a video from you talking about poverty and fashion! Also as a low income person who has been really discouraged that I don't have the instagram wardrobe of my dreams (instead, most of my garments are things I wore as a teen that I repurposed), I really appreciated this video. Thank you.

[@oniodarkholme4267]

Yea, you have to force yourself to only buy things you fall in love with. I only buy new clothes once every 6 months, just because i love vintage and nice quality things. I have expensive tastes

[@brookeg5979]

I'll add that even if you fall in love with it, give it a few weeks and see if you're STILL in love with it. Sometimes when I leave things in my cart and revisit later (say, when I have the money), I have surprisingly fallen out of love. I too love vintage and nice quality...and am also poor as shit. Ha.

I am so happy you are on KZbin; such a unique perspective. I have been feeling overwhelmed about my wardrobe lately - that I love.

[@broccoliandbeans]

I've been wanting to dress in Lolita fashion since I found out about it when I was around 8. I'm now 16 and recently bought my first dress. It's not a typical Lolita dress, it's only one colour etc but I love it so much. I'm so happy I'm now able to actually wear things like that

[@nazihahere]

SAAAAAAME,, not the 16 part,, but since I was a child I've wanted to dress in lolita fashion !!

[@PrudenceSnickett]

Little fact : I recently got Grimoire Verum tights. I loved them back when Grimoire and dolly kei were a trendy thing in japan, and a particular one with blue butterfly got stuck on me and I would love to have them. Few weeks ago I needed tights and socks to add in my lolita wardrobe, as it is something very lacking. I bought a lot on secondhand site Mercari, I got 4, and in it that special one with butterfly.

[@grape123]

I’ve noticed that especially with knitting my own clothes I’ve become a lot more conscious and careful about the specific yarn and fiber I purchase or spin for my projects. It has to be something that makes me truly happy to hold and excited to use, and nothing except for that. Not only will I be wearing the finished garment, but I will be making it one stitch at a time, so it must be a fiber, color, and texture I absolutely love. Yes, It’s been a massive learning curve (and I’m still learning), but I think for the most part I have a clear idea of what I want out of my handmade wardrobe.

[@MoodyMooMoo]

I’m so bad at impulse buying, I’ve deleted my Instagram app so I wouldn’t be tempted.😭

[@zebraloverbridget]

I love that you mention that not everyone needs to boycott fast fashion. I see way too many people acting like others are horrible if they buy from fast fashion brands without even considering that not everyone can afford to do so, or, in my case, not everyone can do it and still find clothes that fit. That being said, I prefer second hand clothing because that is the only way to find stuff that fits me where I live for most items. However, I can't buy pants without needing to tailor them all in which I don't always have time for, so I do have to buy them from kind of fast fashion brands. (women's pants are trash and don't fit me so I only get men's which aren't typically true fast fashion made items.

[@alissaride117]

This video came at the right time. I just started a page dedicated to appreciating 70s and 80s fashion. And I just realized how many clothes I *dont* have. It’s getting hard to not impulse buy a bunch of things.

[@imberribored]

This video caught me at the end of my lolita shopping spree LOL. I've already hit my spending budget for the year so I'm only breaking bank if there is a good Halloween dress out there. I do want my purchases to rush over to me soon though..buying from overseas is hell to wait especially since a lot of places are not shipping out of country. On the bright side, it's something to look forward to in quarantine!

[@hegis3]

I don't really buy a lot of clothes for myself in general (I wear what I've got), but today I bought a sweater that I've wanted for a while now :) Clothes are expensive, and I often feel like I should only buy it if it's necessary. So buying the sweater comes with a bit of guilt, but I'm mostly happy with about it, and I hope the guilt goes away after a while :)

[@itsrey5475]

THIS YES I keep having to tell myself this. I keep having to actively s l o w myself down because I'm just so excited to build my wardrobe. 😅

[@emberdhologram3095]

Hi, I've been watching your videos for a few months at this point, and I happen to quite love them. They inspired me to take a look at my hoarding habit, especially in relation to clothes, and work on cutting down on the clothes in my wardrobe. I had so many things that I almost never wear, and had been so long since I had worn that they no longer fit me whatsoever! It's actually feeling amazing to cut down my wardrobe like this. I want to eventually get into lolita fashion as well as 50s & 60s inspired vintage fashion and make wardrobes for those as well, and I feel like cutting down my main mainstream wardrobe is a step in the right direction for that, to work on making that smaller and more manageable so I can learn how to work with a smaller wardrobe and limited options, as well as not buying things on impulse to make that wardrobe large again. It will probably be a while still until I can start my wardrobes of alternative fashion, but learning these skills from watching these videos of yours is definitely helping me with what I can do right now. I've already tried my hardest to keep pieces in my wardrobe for as long as possible and in great condition, but I still had a hoarding problem of just continuing to collect new items (I need to learn not to do this). I'll keep your advice about not rushing your wardrobe in mind when I do eventually get a chance to start to build my alternative fashion wardrobes, but for now I'll focus on the advice from your videos about saying no to buying more clothes and I might try to build a basics table out of what is left of my personal wardrobe when I finish this culling. Things that I am removing are first offered to my younger sister as hand-me-downs, but if she doesn't want them they're going to be donated to thrift shops (after being washed, of course!) and I just want to thank you for your videos inspiring me to do this. It's something I should have done for years now, but always found excuses not to... until your videos gave me more reasons why I should. So I want to thank you for that, and for all of your lovely content! I hope you're doing well and continue to make your interesting and helpful content at whatever rate is most comfortable for you! Have a wonderful day! Sincerely, Em

[@shanamerker5826]

absolutely correct! it took me about six years of constant searching, budgeting, and research until my EGL wardrobe was in a stable phase. i do buy accessories, socks, and things like blouses every four months or so, but it takes days of thought before i put in an order. besides, with dream dresses, there are experienced lolitas who wait upwards of a decade for the perfect wardrobe: people just need to give things time.

I’ve recently started a J fashion gothic wardrobe with a focus on gothic Ouji and visual Kei.

I’ve started collecting more general pieces but my wardrobe still doesn’t haven’t that many outfits. Have so many dream pieces I’m not sure when I’ll ever find though so I understand that 😭

The Sitchess: let's talk about delayed gratification me: 👀 yes let's!

[@Androgynary]

Totally agree. I had a huge change in style beginning of last year and bought a ton of clothes. Fortunately, they were all thrifted and I still kept a lot of them...but I had to sell a lot of it too bc they ended up not being “perfect.” Wardrobe planning and capsule wardrobes were an absolute game changer for me. I feel like it improved my life by at least 50% no exaggeration lmao. I don’t have a minimalist wardrobe by any means but my closet now is much smaller, intentional, and more manageable than before!

[@avictoryrollvintage3713]

I will agree with you for anybody who actual pays rent and has bills it's difficult especially when you're switching from one style to another.

[@tree.spirit]

Thanks for making this video, I started a year ago with Mori and Dolly kei. I really thought need those amazing coords that you see online at once but now after a year I learned that it needs time. Now I own some unique items but 50% of my clothes aren't Mori or dolly at all. But these styles are cheaper to buy and easier to find (especially second hand clothes) then lolita... Which is great for a student like me ☺️

[@leonardoramos3903]

I was literally JUST about to make an impulse buy I'd probably regret before getting this notif. It was some good timing!

[@faeriebard]

Also please note there's a difference between buying some things as a beginner to going on shopping sprees as an extremely experienced member of the fashion community! If you're new, of course you're gonna want to buy a few things at once, and you'll probably want to buy a couple so that you can start working on building a real wardrobe! This is not the same as spending 8000$ on it, but if you buy a couple skirts/blouses/dresses, that'll be good to help start putting things together!

[@80apocryphal13]

Your timing is excellent. I'm about a year into a style overhaul and I really went in thinking that I was gonna just push it and get it done in a year. Needless to say, I had a lot more to do than I thought, and I think I've finally hit that point where my basics are strong enough that I can look at something and say no if it ain't perfect. Still, a reminder that it can wait is always welcome.

Buying rapidly with no plans can end up with "I have all of these things, but now I am full of regret and out XXX.XX money :C"

[@jillybellies]

Excellent video with some much needed advice for a lot of people just starting to build their wardrobe. When I first started building mine I lived in Japan and had an Angelic Pretty store near by, paycheck day I used to go buy something even if none of it really screamed like a dream piece to me. Some of those pieces I've never worn. Now I'm more into vintage and im much choosier about my pieces, and tend to favor tailoring my own so that they look better (like legit adivice to beginers, learn enough sewing skills to be able to dart your dresses and blouses to better fit you. It makes a WORLD of difference)

[@HeidiHazardous]

I started dressing alternative at 14, I’m now 22 and have only within the last couple of years had a wardrobe that fully reflects what I want to wear. I’ve always DIYed stuff, whether altering or making from scratch. It was rare for me to buy stuff new, within the past year or so I’ve only bought clothing second hand. I definitely wouldn’t have the wardrobe I’ve always wanted without being able to make stuff myself. Great video, it’s something that needs to be talked about more widely 😊

I just started my wardrobe this month and man it sucks having no pieces and feeling like you need so much.

I kind of started this wardrobe, with buying staple items I can mix and match till i get more pieces

[@kmart1396]

I feel like it also depends on which kind of wardrobe is your goal. I know my goal is far more dark mori or strega, so even though I'll want some jewel tones, greys, and autumn colors, a majority is going to be black. I feel black clothing, no matter the style is incredibly easy to get since it is that neutral above all neutrals, leaving the main restriction to be quality.

[@aiwxo]

I have been curating my dream wardrobe since I was about 13 or 14 and I'm in my mid 20s now. I don't own a heap of clothes but everything has been considered and thought through before I thirft it. I don't know the last time I bought brand new clothes, but everything takes times!

[@sarahcicle8592]

I’m taking my time with it, I’m not at the point where can only wear the styles I love yet, but I’m focusing on getting pieces that I love, and that are versatile. I’m still jobless living with my parents, so they buy most of my clothes, so if it isn’t in a store, thrift store, or amazon, for a decent price, I’m likely not getting it. But after two years, I got a few pairs of pants, some shoes, skirts, and a couple great tops. And a couple days ago I got an absolutely beautiful pleated pastel patterned skirt, and an embroidered blouse that fits me great. It’s going to take years before I have anywhere near my dream wardrobe, but it’s coming.

[@dandarcy2539]

ive been instilling this in myself lately! im not lolita nor am i the ‘typical’ alternative, but still certainly dont dress ‘trendy’ or whatever. most of the pieces that i want that i can buy are fairly expensive, im just in love with twisted tailor’s matching waistcoats and pants. two pairs of the pants i wanted were $84 each. i regularly check to see if theyre having a sale, and i just got both pairs of pants, shipping and everything, for $60!! it REALLY helps to be patient to build your wardrobe :-)

I'm finally working on building up my gyaru wardrobe and i'll admit I have a lot of impulse purchases. Part of it is because I want a bigger wardrobe right now, but also partly because I mainly buy second hand Liz Lisa and most of the items I want sell within minutes of being posted or a couple days if you're lucky. I feel like with fashions like lolita and gyaru it's harder to not rush building a cohesive wardrobe simply because of how limited and coveted the clothes are. You could see your dream dress available one day and then never see it for sale for god knows how many years, if ever the next day.

[@Ammck00]

Question about your wardrobe! Sorry if you addressed this in another video, I'm a fairly new subscriber. For the fast fashion items you did purchase before you were fast fashion free, did you sell/donate all of those items or did you retain a few? And do you still occasionally buy second hand items that maybe were fast fashion, or at least are you not opposed to it? I know you probably wouldn't want to because of quality but from an ethical standpoint. I have an excessive amount of clothing as I used to have a huge problem with impulse buying. I grew up low income and retained a lot of the old shopping habits I had as I got older (still now) and now that I have more of a disposable income, I've bought way too many inexpensive clothes and a lot of those pieces being fast fashion. Some of those items I can't picture parting with but I also want to do better about buying more ethically now, or at least not from large chains so I'm not supporting that industry.

[@TheStitchess]

You don’t have to throw away your old fast fashion pieces - it’s probably less sustainable in the long run to do that, actually. Even if you buy from sustainable brands, the real problem is the speed at which we purchase new things. Keeping old fast fashion in circulation is a good thing, even if they came from dubious sources. I still have a few pieces of fast fashion in my wardrobe but I’m still using them and buying something new to replace them isn’t exactly feasible because of money. Sustainably made goods are inherently more expensive because you actually pay for the materials and labor - so I can’t just go out and buy all sustainable brands all the time every time I want something (but luckily that‘s where secondhand shopping and sharing comes in). Thrift stores are mostly old fast fashion these days, so even secondhand it’s hard to avoid. When I shop in person I don’t look at brand labels at all. I look at fiber content and care labels, as well as the overall quality and construction, and that’s all I consider. I don’t wind up with much fast fashion because it usually doesn’t fit my standards but I occasionally do buy it secondhand from a thrift shop - usually a locally owned shop that donates money to a food bank or shelter as those are the stores I shop in most. I’m not THRILLED it was fast fashion by any means, but it keeps useable textiles out of landfill and that is the ultimate goal.

My fashion inspiration video is in the playlist linked in the description ^-^

If you're interested in sewing or vintage fashion, I'd also like to suggest Evelyn Wood, Karolina Zebrowska, and Bernadette Banner's videos. Micarah Tewers is another fashion youtuber who talks about DIY/ sewing, even if to my knowledge she isn't into vintage/ alternative fashion.

I feel called out lol

Being a beginner anything is frustrating. The frustration of being a beginner in something like fashion feels extra hard because it seems like money literally would solve all our problems. You can't buy talent to be able to draw, but if you just had enough money, you could buy those dream clothes. It's not true, but that's the shortcut that our brains make when we ignore that people with large collections of amazing clothes that they style in great ways took years. And that those people also started somewhere. There was once a time when Tyler Willis also had only one lolita dress to her name. But that's not what an eager beginner sees first.

I don’t buy clothes often, and I always try to thrift before considering buying new, but quarantine has taken it to an extreme, lol. I think I’ve bought a total of maybe 2 (?) thrifted garments so far this year because a) I don’t feel comfortable going to the thrift store yet, and b) I wear the same t-shirt and jeans every single day working from home. 😅 Anyone else relate?

i lov ur videos uwu

[@risaterry6513]

Oh god ME. Seriously. I don't even really have an "alternative style," (just an uncommon body type tbh) but I have made So Many Mistakes in buying clothes from shady sites or cheap crappy knockoffs for the sake of "getting my wardrobe built NOW" that it's only resulted in me creating a ton of waste and spending about 3x as much as I would have had I simply waited for something to be back in stock on the reputable site or to find a piece I actually like to wear :( It sure has been a learning curve

[@emjenkins464]

I'm aiming for a vintage sustainable capsule wardrobe and think I only need one more piece (which I have reserved on depop - handknitted 1970s chunky cardi). But this has come from years of acquiring the odd item here and there, and becoming more comfortable in the style. I want to be more sustainable, but there's no way my student ass can replace a full set of pants with the low end of the sustainable price range being £15 a pair.

I feel that

[@wand1sh]

I've been looking for the perfect stripped shirt for layering for weeks now, which is good for me and a record. Still need to work on my impulse control on hats a bit. Also if anyone knows a good place for nice sturdy tights?

[@dreamer6943]

I get tights from Joe Browns and they last well.

[@hatarlera]

Can someone help me😖👉👈 I'm not the one choosing my clothes, my mom does it for me and whenever I ask for any clothing either says something like "ooh do you really want that, it doesn't look good", "no that looks awful" or "you already have that" when what I have is what she gets me/what I don't like and I often hear that I dress like an 8 year old and I just don't feel like myself. Edit: my English is bad is know

[@thingeeeeeee]

a round of applause for this opinion video! 🙌 ps. i waited almost 20 years to buy my fave sneakers ever.

[@TheGrossDemon]

My wardrobe consist of 60% clothing I've had for years and wear almost everyday because their all handpainted, 39% knockoffs I bought from AliExpress and 1% stuff I've had for years but rarely wear cuz I got it from my mom or just don't do regular clothes lol

[@onlyinsomniac]

As someone with ADHD and a lust for fancy lolita dresses... I feel personally targeted by this video. But also, THANK YOU. I needed to be reminded of this

[@szilvianagy2410]

Hi! 1st: Thanks for being here. Your videos are amazing - and you are super cute :D My question - what about when you need to get your wardrobe together Fully from almost nothing ? I’ve lost a lot of weight and I didn’t bother buying new clothes so far but now I really have to. I think this is great chance for me to change to alternative clothing (gotish, darker style mixed with Kpop Funnily enough ) - but time I don’t have much for it - anyway I followed your new wardrobe tutorial - but I still haven’t bought any clothes ^^ (not time yet). - Lockdown allows a lot - but after it ends I really need new ones quickly - What do you suggest in that case?

[@TheStitchess]

Maybe plan out a basic capsule wardrobe of things you know you will needs? A handful of tops and a handful of bottoms that all mix and match, a few dresses or one pieces if you wear those, and you probably already have a pair of shoes and a bag that go with everything. It depends on your budget and style tho.

[@szilvianagy2410]

Ahw thank you for your reply

[@October_2.0]

Here again to ask.... how are you beautiful?🥺❤️😘

[@aseal6412]

off topic but how do u keep ur hair so soft looking

[@TheStitchess]

Thanks for thinking it looks soft lol I just straighten it and curl in the ends and my bangs (using a heat protection spray beforehand). I also bleach it a ton so I use a lot of deep conditioners but most of the time it feels like straw 😅
