ABOUT ME:🌿
I'm Christina, friendly neighbourhood human on the internet slash pharmacist. You may have previously known me as Style Apotheca. I'm living in Toronto, Canada and on my channel you'll find me on my journey towards minimalism, being content with less, recovery from a shopping addiction, and my journey towards financial freedom from over $120,000 in student loan debt. Thank you SO much for watching and taking the time out of your day to support my channel. A little thumb always helps support me!
Happy Sunday beauties! ❤ what have you decluttered (or kept!) in prep for the new season?
I change my whole wardrobe for summer/spring and than fall/winter.Than I declutter things that are demaged,don't fit or I didn't wear at all.And than I also decide about things from new season that I wasn't sure about last year if I want to keep them or declutter anything that doesn't fit anymore.
Christina, where is the white tank top from that you are wearing? Thank you for the motivation to finish switching my closet from cold weather to warm weather!
I reset my closet and dresser about a month ago and alot of my jeans and gym clothes were moved out of my house. Basically any jeans that smushed my bum and leggings with a front seam.
I live where its cold and so just did my spring reset last week. I changed sizes so I donated much of my warm weather clothing from last year and thrifted 16 new pieces for spring/summer. Thats everything I needed. I tend to keep things pretty simple....
Just wanted to thank you for the amazing content, since descovering you almost a year ago I've been slowly adding & changing my clothes to better fit my style and I finally went tru a lot of old clothes i've accumulated over the years. Ended up with 2 huge bags of clothes in good condition ready for someone else to enjoy! Sending love, stay safe everyone 🤍
I also go through my closet periodically and I put things that I don’t find myself wearing into a box and keep them…for a long time before I go through the box and donate locally. I also find that at times I actually reach for the things I’ve put away and am glad I didn’t give them away.
Yes, I can relate to this. I also have fairly predictable weight fluctuations depending on the time of year and health issues, so I know that I will come back to certain pieces which are too big or too small at the moment.
Thanks for your practical content. You are helping me not shop as much and buy less and less and less. It is a process. The most valuable thing you ever said was about purchasing clothes for your imaginary self. Thank you again!!!!
It’s hard for me to let things go, especially with weight fluctuations. Sometimes things just don’t fit and that’s okay. This video makes me feel encouraged to find inspiration in my own wardrobe!
Christina, just wanted to let you know that I am someone who loathes the idea of a capsule wardrobe, but I have still learned SO much from your videos. The next time someone tells you that your clothes are "boring" (I saw a previous video where you addressed comments like these) or makes a comment like "but I don't want to dress like you," please feel free to refer them to my comment lol. The strategies you teach for decluttering, living mindfully, and curating a wardrobe that you love are applicable to literally everyone. I am on a road toward a less cluttered and happier life thanks to many of your videos.
P.S. Not sure if they have this in Canada, but OxyClean stain spray is the BEST. I had an old grease stain in one of my fav pairs of old sweatpants, and it took it out like it was never there.
I’m starting to build a wardrobe that works almost year-round (mostly because I’m too lazy to rotate clothes every season) & I can relate to a few steps you mentioned here! I guess I’ll also keep doing seasonal check to see if anything doesn’t really suit me & may be donated/sold 🌝
I love that the more I do this, the happier with everything I am and the less things I need.
CM making my Sunday better ❤
❤❤🥹🥹🫶
I repurpose my old t-shirts as pyjama tops!
Same! Definitely!
You made it look so easy! This is the first season I’m resetting my closet and storing winter clothes. I’m getting excited for the ease and fun a decluttering and tidying up the closet will bring to getting dressed. I’m rearranging so spring summer is in front and center- good point about displaying shoes for visual reminders.
Happy Spring and thank you for a wonderful refresher! And you KEPT the Anita Bing houndstooth blazer. Admit it. You love it. :) Cheers from Buffalo!
Haha yes! No more forcing myself to get rid of anything ❤
The videography and story telling was sooo good in this one ❤
You have changed my mindset to a much healthier one and I thank you so much ❤️
Oh my God I so needed this, I pulled out my summer things did not put away all my winter stuff because weather you know Alberta you get it, and I'm feeling so overwhelmed because my closet is so small lol I'm going to work on this! Lolss 26 next week? Imgad it's finally over yaaay
Watching your channel, and learning from your very well overthought and smart content, has become a must for me. And I like listening to your voice. Just feels good to listen to 👍🏽✌🏽🙂
Love this!! I've both accumulated and decluttered a lot of clothes after the pandemic and I still feel a bit overwhelmed, will definitely do this! Thanks, Christina!
I'd love to see you in more feminine tops. You're so pretty!!
How fun! Your wardrobe looks wonderful ❤ And I never get tired of your videos 🥰
I’m so thankful for your excellent content about fashion and money management. Both things that I love, very difficult to pair together! My wardrobe reset is coming about with expecting my third child 😅 a lot of my clothing is going away for a few seasons, and just a small minimal collection is coming out for the spring/summer and fall months. It has definitely been very effective for curbing my shopping habits! I don’t know what my body will look like and how it will change just yet between fitness and pregnancy shape changes (shoes especially!) so I took a hard stop to several years of over shopping with nothing but the debt with interest… and clothes I can’t wear 😅🤦🏼♀️. With that, I am not decluttering anything at the moment, and until I am settled into my new body post baby. So I essentially decided to declutter into storage. I still went through the clothing I had last spring/summer to evaluate what I actually did wear and what I still want to wear now. I ended up filling three trash bags to take to my local clothing exchange shop! Al things that aren’t my style; favorites of my previous self. The next step is to change my money, habits to pay down the debt. It was very exciting to pull out, my warm, season clothing, and go through it again. I really didn’t feel as thrilling as shopping. But I still have so, so much. Probably enough to close five people very comfortably… for each season… so I will definitely be taking some time to start whittling my storage down some more as I get better acquainted with my true style.
Love your"hell yes or hell no" concept. It works.
Great vid. So nice to watch a fashion video that isn’t about buying more stuff ❤
I thrift almost all my clothing (except underwear & bathing suits) so I never sell things when I am done with them. I either redonate, repurpose or throw them away (no textile recycling where I live).
I really like the reset look-found it helps me to have all my clothes hung up or on shelf where I can see them easily.
Christina - thank you for your recommendations! You do useful job!
I use microfiber towels as hair towels and I feel it's a way more efficient and self loving! agree with the rest and thanks a lot for your content, energy and inspiration🤩
I recently came back from NYC and used your code for the Arlo hotel. Saved us a ton! Thank you❤
Love the vid!❤ so many great reminders for me to keep trying to build my wardrobe. It takes time, go slow, and if a certain item doesn’t feel like me anymore, it’s okay to let go.
Hope my closet gets to look as good as yours, Christina. ❤
Really appreciate this video -- always get so much inspiration !! Also was nice to see formatting change too :) such a big fan, keep doing what you're doing!!
Oh you got those green Dear Frances boots!!! I’m hoping to get those second hand as they were just a bit too spendy for me last fall. Can’t wait to see you wearing them!
We've made it a full week with no new snow 😂, so I think I can finally pack away my winter sweaters and pull out all my lighter tshirts and layers
That denim, belt and vest ❤
So happy for this video! Just needed it so bad, my body is finally settled after baby and winters gone! (Hi from southern AB). And I feel like I don’t love anything in my closet but also don’t want to buy anything new! I know I do love it, just need to deckutter and capsulize
Thanks for the inspo, perfect timing as I want to do the same today! Winter has been too long this year, this is my latest switchover ever, I normally do this in March!
Hey! Christina I am really really sorry I was not active on youtube because my exams are going on and I love your videos so so much you are my inspiration and I wish you reach 200K Subscribers very very soon!💫❤️😊
awe that’s so nice! I hope your exams went well!! ❤
Great tips! I’m looking for your video on reselling online but I don’t see the link in the description. Can you please share it? 🙏🏽
Loved the video, it motivates me to do my own spring clean out and reorganising. Question, I have been wearing flannel for the last 3 years and it is part of my outfit every week. Lately I noticed I dislike it a bit more every time I wear or see it. I want to declutter them but it feels scary. Am I the only one who feels like this?
Here's what I've done with various things like this in the past: put it in a storage bin, out of sight/out of mind, and see how it goes. If in another six months you just kinda forgot about it or you see you're never going to use that again, it's fine then to get rid of it. But if in six months you actually go to the storage bin and rescue it and start wearing it again, put it back where it was! I'm guessing you'll put it out of sight/out of mind (if you're like me) and never think of it again. And then it's time to clear out the storage bin and donate it.
I hear ya! You’re probably just craving a bit of a change. I’d put it in storage, maybe leave your favourite one out in case you feel like you wanna reach for it, and let yourself experiment with some other vibes while the flannels take a “vacation” ❤️
Nice to know that you both relqte 😊 thqnks for the tips! I have been minimising and decluttering for 3 years now, but even though I own lovely pieces of clothing, I 9 /10 times grab the not so flattering clothes. I am guessing a lack of confidence or scared of coming across as a try hard. I got self image issues 😅😅 i am Legally blind 👩🏻🦯so the way I view myself compared to others is a bit twisted. These video’s really help me with that😇👩🏻🦯
Your tips are always amazing ❤❤❤
Another great video Christina 🤩
Thenks 4 youre help
Those green boots!!!
I love the color of one of your blazers. On my screen it looks like it's kind of a taupe color. What brand and color is it? Thank you so much!
artizia agency blazer!
Hello Christina. Excellent video as always. You're looking fit and fantastic. - and your closet organizational skills are impeccable. Thanks for sharing a look at your Spring wardrobe. 😉😉
Nice video, and I will say the same words I said to Alyssa I admire you to fill complete with this wardrobe. I have about 800 pieces and It hurts to much to think to get rid of some...I love shopping, I love going to the store so I would be very sad and depressive if I quit. I wish I could do the same, being fulfilled with 25 ish pieces and 7 pairs of jeans...Great work!! Cheers from Granby Québec!!
Ohh no I have easily over 100 items! But you’re right it’s a balance of contentment and wanting to evolve. No pressure to get rid of what doesn’t bother you ❤
Super helpful
Like always! Thanks!!
Thanks for some great tips 😊
I wish I have cabinet to organize our clothes. 😅
Great tips!!! I have to do this.
I needed just this!
Thank you for a nice video, Christina!
Can you, please, show in one of your new videos or posts what is your shoe care routine.
Also I always see you and other bloggers keeping shoes for new season in their wardrobe next to clean clothes while they are clean and unworn but I was wondering is this where frequently worn shoes stay all the season? In my case, it would be very impractical either to wash the sole after every wear or to bring possibly wet and dirty shoes back where all clean clothes hang so I keep shoes next to halfway. I would love to know the approach you take.
Cheers!
I’d say the shoes in my closet are the slowest moving or I bring them to work and wear them indoors only, so cleaning them before they go back isn’t too much of a bother. I have my faster moving shoes in our hallway closet!
@@Christinamychas gotcha! Thanks for answering! 😊
I love this! 🙂
Hey Christina 👋
It's been a while since I have left a comment after watching one of your videos.
I was curious what packaging option do you use to mail ur clothes you sell or shoes. I've heard other youtubers mention what they use and what the cheapest options are but😢 that was a while ago I heard that and don't remember what they said. So just wanted to see what you get to mail out ur items.
Btw how have u been lately ?
Hope all is well with you and ur family.
I Watch you on TikTok, I am so happy I found your RUclips channel, you should advertise it more!
inspired. great video
thank you for this tips
Thank u it’s so helpful
Great video!
Do you have any tips&tricks for shoes storage? 🙂Do you clean shoe soles after every use so you can place them directly on the shelf? What about the smell? 😉
You give such great advice in these videos you should go back and compile it all and try publishing a book on style!!!
🥹🥹 I would love that
@@Christinamychas Or a TV show, like Love it or List it but for clothes... :)
Hi Christina, this was fun to watch. I like that you don't follow the rules of "have I worn this in 6 months" but just rather, if you like it, keep it. Also to start with the framework of "what am I keeping" rather than "what am I getting rid of" - a more positive approach! Can I ask what tank top you are wearing in your video? I am struggling to find one that doesn't cut in but where the straps are just straight. I am kind of fussy with my bra showing and I find so many tanks cut in because its a racer back.
It’s from cos! ❤️
I thought I was the only woman in North America with tshirt hair towels!
Great content! How long do you wait for an item to sell after listing it? This too can become clutter if listed for too long? Where do you store it?
Usually 1-2 weeks then I consign them!
Did I miss the link for selling your items?
Maybe I’m blind. 🤪
Question: You mentioned disposing of clothes you can’t donate or sell “properly”…I wonder how? Is there an obvious answer or is it more complicated?
I’m a person who wears clothes until they’re threadbare, have holes and stains 🥴 I’m trying to change this, but do I just toss these old rags in the trash?
Thanks for your fun videos!
I would check your local municipality guidelines on how/where to discard!
@@Christinamychas Thank you, I'll try that!
Not the green blazer!! 😱 I love it on you
Storage! Not decluttering ❤️❤️
I went on a buying spree at Goodwill a couple of nights ago and spent a total of $27 & change on three pairs of pants. Woo Hoo! If I have buyer's remorse, I'll re-donate those bad boys. (Somehow my pants are shrinking. This weekend I'm doing a 3-day nothing-but-sardines fast. Day 1 down, two more days to go, and I'm feeling fantastic. I'm becoming a sardine snob.)
I clicked on your video and started going through my clothes. I noticed pants with holes in them and not where holes are meant. 😅
❤❤❤😊💜💜💜
💙💛
Hi Christina, I'm also a member of the itty-bitty-titty-committee. I was wondering if that's the reason why I never wear dresses and skirts too? I used to think it was coz I'm tall (at 5"7). Have you always been like that? I have.
It’s a leg complex for me 🫠 but we should wear what we want and rock it!
@@Christinamychas I reckon we do!
I fear my closet. Is that weird?
Yes
Anyone else who would totally still wear or buy that cute white tank? lol stained is subjective, ha
It was really just an example haha - I was able to wash it out turns out! ❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️💋💋
