WARDROBE RE-HAUL: Part 1 | Fleur De Force

[@lozzywalker]

I'm really glad you've stopped doing your hauls and you actually reflect your views within your content. As you've grown and matured i feel like i have and im not interested in buying for the sake of buying anymore. I'm going to go and re-haul my wardrobe now and see if i can re purpose any of my older and unloved pieces.

[@Mokiecon]

Love an actually "sustainable" fashion haul. So many talk about ohhh this brand is sustainable and this is sustainable but buying a lot of new clothes and wearing them once or twice is not as sustainable as just wearing great pieces over and over.

[@hms1609]

True

[@amandamakesstuff1383]

Agreed!!

[@JJ-yt8we]

So great to hear an influencer talking about rewearing clothes, having things altered & even buying off eBay! Very helpful and responsible to your audience x

[@jocelynnmackiee]

I love that you are talking openly about the changes you're making when you become aware of these issues! It's so important to share because then others may also become aware and make changes too :)

[@Claire-uz8so]

Nice work fleur! So important for us to reduce consumption of clothing and use what we have 👌

[@ithinkitsred]

How many wrap dresses do you have? Fleur: Yes

[@KylaPlanet]

I love this premise Fleur. I'm a long time subscriber, 10 years maybe, and I love, LOVE that you have grown and evolved during that time and are a conscious and responsible influencer, woman, mother. Xxx

[@YesPleaseMuse]

You should wash your more delicate pieces of clothing in washing bags - they stay much nicer that way

[@ThePrincessnady1]

Oh_Holy_Bastille so true x

[@hayley5531]

Yes, great help. Be lost without them.

[@RatATatHat]

Good idea!!!

[@LillySty]

I was about to say that! I do that with everything that‘s a little more delicate. No need for dry cleaning!

[@ingebjrgskar4394]

And if you have a bra or another piece of clothing with hooks or a zipper you put that one in a wash bag to to protect the rest

[@lalalaurenlibby]

I am also addicted to wrap dresses. I loved this video! It was great to hear the history off all of the pieces. I recognized a few of them. It makes me want to look through my closet and sort everything out! I used to see a lot more and I keep meaning to alter/fix some favorite clothing pieces myself. But I’ve been procrastinated. This video is giving me the inspo I need to pull out my sewing machine

[@hattiebrazeley3351]

Love this. A little piece of me dies inside every time I see someone post a Primark haul. Thank you for shining a quick flash of light on living more sustainably.

[@minimalist_romantic]

I wash my delicate pieces in laundry mesh bags, it stops ties getting tangled up & frayed too xxx

[@deba2405]

Congrats on a great video,since becoming a new Mum,your interests as a consumer have changed and your making a better world for Rivers generation!!!

[@WhoaAmazingg]

THANK YOU for this not being a sponsored ad by Thread Up! I've seen way too many lately and am also not a fan of that brand.

[@DamnitDanniDanielle]

I love this! Mending, repairs and alterations are such an important part of sustainability and I think it's often overlooked. Great to see you starting to discuss this more in general but especially to hit on a topic that no other mainstream influencer has yet to discuss! Great video!

[@ambiu]

Absolutely love this Fleur! So many you tubers are jumping on the sustainability bandwagon but instead of reusing or reimagining the things they already have, they buy more clothes instead. Really glad for your perspective on this.

[@AliceDianaa]

This is a brilliant idea Fleur! Hopefully tailors should do really well out of the sustainability movement, fixing things that are broken, adjusting things you’ve gone off, and tailoring vintage items to suits the modern shapes

[@janicew9]

Such a great idea! And highlighting something people have been doing for centuries- repairing and tailoring their wardrobe!

[@h2oelephant]

Great idea, Fleur! Re-Haul and consignment hauls are my favourite! Thanks for doing this and sharing.

[@laumarshmallow]

So happy to see this, I love that more and more people is becoming aware of the impact fast fashion has on the planet and our own mental health. It's obviously hard to make these changes, I struggle with it myself because we're constantly being tempted with publicity and new products. But anyway, I love this change in your content, thank you.

[@MintChocChip100]

Thank you so much, Fleur for sharing this and also sharing the impact of Fast fashion !! Not many youtubers would admit their impact of hauls and fast fashion!

[@franziskafreiermuth1030]

Love love love your rehaul! Keep going in that direction. It‘s soooo interesting to see what you love over time and so refreshing not get yet another thoughtless call to action fore more more more! ❤️

[@sweetordinary]

This is such an important thing to emphasis with the raging trend of fast fashion for the past decade or more. Thank you for using your platform to share what you're doing. It was weird timing too because I was decluttering my wardrobe and sewing stuff while watching videos...

[@eefs2206]

I really like the idea of fixing your clothes instead of throwing it away. For wrap dresses I always put them in the wash bags for bras. That way they don't get all tangeled up.

[@k1tkat-kate]

This is a great idea! In the last 6 months, I've started making an effort to have my clothing items repaired or altered so I get more use out of them, and I love it! Great way to support local businesses in your community too! Can't wait to see the decluttering video.

[@idaosbornfrandsen7162]

As so many others here I am so pleased and proud to see your approach here. Since having children myself (3 years ago, I'm now 32), I haven't watched your videos as much as I used to, but this might be the video that will have clicking more frequently again.

[@anneprytz]

Love the way you address your decision to make a change in your own shopping. The fact is that KZbin and blogs are huge influences on purchasing and shopping - especially with young girls. The consequences of fast fashion on the environment are just crazy, so seeing you backing away from hauls is something I hope we’ll see more of from other influencers in the future. Your approach is so appreciated - not judging or preachy, which is often not the case regarding environment and sustainability. xxx

[@pyrogummybear37]

Really love you speaking on being a more conscious consumer!

[@kellymichaels3568]

What a fab idea for a haul. Well done you! 😃 so refreshing to see what you’ve had mended and the seconds you’ve bought. I hope other KZbinrs take and apply from your example! You ought to be very proud of yourself, Fleur❣️

[@WhisperRush]

This is amazing, you are amazing for still managing to do this fun type of video while also promoting responsible practices.

[@sagitteaius]

I'm so proud of you for doing this kind of video and being aware of the impacts of our clothes and taking action! It's so easy to do a Zara haul and get several thousand+ views.

[@natatatt]

Great video idea! Sometimes just not seeing an item for awhile makes it feel new again, without spending money on new clothing. That's why I like putting away some of my spring/summer clothing for the winter - some of it could transition to winter outfits, but by putting it aside for a few seasons, when I bring it back out again in the spring it feels like a new item again.

[@deb_aspinall]

Love this video! I don’t like to watch the high street haul videos any more & think this is very refreshing. I stopped buying things for sake of it over a year now & will only buy things I really need or know that I will wear a lot. I still have loads of things in my wardrobe that I’ve bought before that I don’t wear. You’ve inspired me to sort it out & sell things on that aren’t being used.

[@Lady.Bewitched]

I love that you are sharing this, my own challenge for 2019 was not to buy new clothes and go second-hand first. It’s not always gone to plan as I’m very tall and some staples are required but it has made me realise how many items I wear over and over. Would love to hear more on your efforts to lead a more sustainable and eco friendly life! :)

[@Raina1967]

I totally do this! I no longer buy new bags. I've been buying vintage LVs Xx

[@gemmcraft]

Thank you so much for posting this wonderful idea. I hope this becomes a trend!

[@smiffy4ever1]

Well done Fleur, good role model to other young girls. No need to buy new fast fashion clothes all the time. We are all guilty of this. Best thing to do is invest in good quality items, great bags, scarf and jewellery 😁😁😁. Wrap dresses are truly amazing.

[@cslheawood]

Love this! As I’m watching this I have a pile of clothes to list on eBay of my daughters, some hardly worn and some never worn. I’ve bought some real bargains over the years for my children and saved so much money, it just makes sense. Looking forward to the next video x

[@ellegirl87]

I love your evolution towards a sustainable lifestyle! I've changed up so much in the last year, if I want something now like a book or a home item I check the second hand sites first

[@ruthtee7419]

Side note your skin looks amazing and so healthy/glowy! X

[@carys7417]

Oh my goodness I LOVE THIS!! Such a great example to set for River ✨

[@isabelledot]

Such a good video idea and I like your view on this - so important! :)

[@kathyforgues6994]

I don't understand peoples aversion to second hand clothes? I love going seeing what deals I can find! Like you I do buy the basics new, unless it's a staple piece like a nice sweater. I have found a lot with the original tags still on.

[@lisakoerner7455]

I am so impressed. You don't have to shop less or second hand money wise.. You just have the motivation to change for better choices. This is so cool!

[@staceyoconnell5031]

I love how you are using this video to make others aware of sustainability and how clothes can be made to feel new and last longer. Definately something that I am trying to do with my own wardrobe. Well done on the change of direction in terms of content. I keep coming back to your channel because of the varying content (and being a mum to a toddler of a similar age as river)

[@elizabethd2942]

Fleur, the green and leopard print dress looks absolutely perfect on you!

[@ABlackbirdsBooks]

This is so great, Fleur! I love that you are using your channel to make people more aware of the importance of treating your clothes with respect and love instead of as one-time-use pieces that are disposable. It would be so great if you'd make more videos on sustainability and fashion.

[@alexmcginness8859]

This is such a cool concept! So happy with this video!

[@fictionalhuman]

I love wrap dresses too! I like that you are showing some love for things you already have/secondhand instead of just adding more to the wasteful fast fashion industries.

[@musicandart78]

I loved this video!they are gorgeous! could you do one on your fall/winter dresses and how you pair them so you stay cosy and warm!thks Fleur

[@digitalnomadgirl]

I support this move SO SO much! I've entirely stopped watching hauls for the same sustainability reasons. You have such great timeless taste so rehauls are perfect for you!!

[@hannahnilsson6956]

Love love love that you’re shopping more sustainably and encouraging others!!

[@stefanieholzmann6242]

Wow I love this video!!!! So great to hear such a fantastic fashion-blogger talk about buying sustainable and second hand clothes 🤗

[@lizmacleod4334]

Love this! I was a terrible shopaholic for years but now I'm actually seeing it as a challenge going through my existing wardrobe and putting outfits together. Actually enjoying not buying new stuff!

[@thegirlinspired]

Loved everything about this video!! Looking forward to the declutter too. Could you do an updated tour of River’s closet? And also how you find clothes for River on eBay?

[@abestkim]

Thanks so much for sharing a sustainable clothing haul!! Mending what you have and buying items second hand is still fun and good for the planet 😊

[@jessicadeering6190]

I love the emphasis on reusing! 👍

[@marialindell6533]

I love the idea of a re-haul, it's so important for us to reduce consumtion of clothing. For the wrap-ties, try to wash them seperately in washing-bags if they're removable. I have found it helps them to stay nicer much longer that way!

[@MyWorldofFragrance]

Such a great concept, Fleur! Wish there were more people who did this.

[@_missclemmie_]

Glad you managed to get your fav items altered / fixed. My mum is amazing at alterations and fixing clothes. So I don't have to take them anywhere I just give them to her. She fixed a hole in one of my dresses recently and I could not even find where the hole used to be!!

[@dianamccarthy2377]

I love this idea and rewearing old favorites. I downsized my closet and I’m still working on it so that I only wear things I love and declutter the rest!

[@brionyc]

Fantastic message Fleur! Thank you for another great video 🤗 xx

[@Diorella_scent]

Oh Fleur, all those beautiful dresses being eaten by your washing machine! I always, always put each piece of clothing in a netting delicates bag (i have about 100 it seems) and only the shortest cycle possible. Please go and get some and save your beautiful clothes x

[@PiaffePiaffe]

This was such a good idea! It’s great seeing much loved pieces get a second life rather than being thrown out. I am also moving away from fast fashion.

[@victorialikhodedova8897]

Such a brilliant idea for the video! Thank you for bringing the topic of responsible consumption up and popularizing it. You are amazing, down-to-earth and real

[@kaitlynne95]

I'd be really interested in an autumn lookbook from you. I love your style.

[@FrannyLuvsAll]

Love this new series!! Great work Fleur! I’m definitely behind the idea of buying only what you love, and not buying for the sake of buying or accumulating things.

[@azoralunde1713]

Love this and your efforts to become more sustainable!!!

[@loisluisa6458]

I love this idea of a haul. Its so good to see the small things you can do to help the environment. Id love to see more videos like this. Xx

[@SuperEmilyW]

I love the concept of this video! I've always been the type of person that finds a couple of great pieces of clothes and then just lives in them, so I feel represented in this a little bit haha! Also, Fleur, please could you make a video on some UK Winter break destinations? I've been trying to find a cute winter getaway destination but its so hard, and your taste is always amazing!

[@Makes_Me_Smile]

I love a good wrap dress, and I love that you are being mindful. These are all beautiful items!

[@ClaireDeLune2848]

I had no clue you could get clothes altered so many different ways! Thanks for the inspo - I have at least 5 things in my closet right now that I haven't been wearing because they don't fit right, but now I know how to mend them!

[@ClaireDeLune2848]

Oh, and Lululemon will actually mend any of your clothing from them for free! Even years after you've purchased it. I just had a pair of 4-year-old leggings from them rip near the crotch, and they fixed them free of charge for me when I took them into their store. Just fyi!

[@giada120291]

Love this haul concept! I hope more people follow your example, especially with kids clothes!

[@sarahsmith8439]

I LOVE THIS FLEUR!! So nice to see sustainability on KZbin! I’ve given up my ASOS habit because of the same reasons (and allllll the plastic) xx

[@emilyhathaway177]

Such a great video. Proves that you don't actually have to throw out your favourite clothes but actually make them to fit you.

[@jesskerridge4626]

Amazing to hear you talking about sustainable fashion Fleur. Always love your videos but even more awesome to highlight repairing, buying second hand and keeping clothes for longer. (You may like the environmental campaign Love Your Clothes too!)

[@terryfischer1070]

I am also doing a wardrobe clear out. It is such a lot of work.

[@charlottenorman4829]

Love this fleur all your pieces are timeless and beautiful! 💕💕💕great message to send xx

[@livindncngdream8]

Loved this video! It’s so nice to rediscover things you love and already own

[@traceymarshall5886]

I love that your hair is going blonder...it reminds me of when I first started following you in 2010...it makes you look younger (I know as I’m 38 and light blonde hair means I get asked for over 18s ID in pubs and at Tesco when buying alcohol)....so it brings a youthful glow to you

[@LuvSumMeiKup]

It would have been great if you can show us the before and after though

[@elizabethholden9351]

Try placing clothing item in mesh bags for washing to reduce damage, same as you would do bras and such.

[@shannonbrady2816]

Love how you think "earth friendly"! I try to do the same thing.

[@katrinaday29]

Love the idea of a "re-haul", I love it when I rediscover clothes that I forgot about or haven't worn because a button came off etc. :)

[@OhMissIvory]

Such a good video Fleur! So happy to see yet another youtuber being a bit more concious! I've been watching your videos for years (probably since you first started making them) and they are so relaxing to watch after a long day at work! Thank you! :)

[@shirifeldman6510]

love wrap dresses! So feminine and flattering

[@jillyfish72]

Wash bags! Underwear, anything with a tie, tights, leggings anything that comes out of the machine tangled, o my gosh a total life/clothes saver 😁

[@PetiteFilledeParis]

Awesome video Fleur! It’s great to see you make these positive changes while spreading awareness to such a large audience :) I have been making so many sustainable adjustments to my lifestyle in the last year and it’s so nice to see one of my long time favorite KZbinrs move in the same direction! Please do more content like that 👏

[@laur3en1984]

Fleur, I love this video and you have really inspired me to wear what I have and be better with fast fashion! Thanks so much xxx

[@klbeavers]

All of your repaired dresses are gorgeous!

[@SmileWithAnnabel]

Love love love this! Also if you mix two parts vodka one part water and afew drops of essential oils and spray it on your clothes after use it kills bacteria and refreshes the clothes so you can get another wear - or five! Trust me!! Spot cleaning and this saves so much not only water but time!! Afew sprays and a day hanging (not in the cupboard) and good to go again!

[@lizmiller7681]

I’ve always had a great admiration and respect for you, and everything you’ve shown us in this video makes me say super props to you! 💖 This from a long time fan from across the pond, in Texas.

[@isabellasnyder4896]

YES Fleur!! Thank you for doing videos like this!

[@modmomdiaries489]

I absolutely LOVE that you are doing this. I'm inspired 😁❤

[@stephanie2647]

I absolutely love that you are doing this and inspiring others to re-ware their wardrobe. As a note I think it would be fun if you could show us the before so that it ads another element of interest to the "new" clothes.

[@deirdremcmahon5211]

Buy a few mesh laundry bags for washing more delicate pieces and belts etc - you can often pick them up in Lidl or Aldi and in pound shops, and they prevent damage in the washing machine. I also use mine when washing wool and cashmere blend sweaters and scarves - I handwash them, then fold each one into a laundry bag before putting them in the washing machine for a gentle spin cycle. No reshaping required. My clothes last for years because I look after them.

[@Nnya494]

Would love a dedicated video on fast fashion and its impact. Recommendations for places that have sustainable fashion would be great (places like The Reformation that are sustainable but aren’t too terribly expensive)!

[@SarahAnn91]

I put more delicate dresses into delicate bags and put them on a delicate cycle. We have some bigger bags that are mesh but help keep ties and chiffon safe.

[@rochellejones2103]

I absolutely love this video chickadee!!!!! Thank you for making changes in your purchasing to be more sustainable.

[@unpetitagneau]

Such a good idea! I buy all my clothes used, but I actually weirdly never think to mend my clothes. Such a good way to get a whole second life out of them!!

[@Chiselnyc]

Love this haul! I’m not about overbuying so love the topic!
