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!

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.

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.

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.

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

[janetfuller]

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.

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.

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!

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 😉

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.

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.

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.

[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 :)

[marydimond]

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.

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.

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”.

[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.

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! ❤

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!
