  • In today's video I am doing a wardrobe challenge/experiment where I try to figure out why I'm not wearing some of the clothes in my closet. I will be reaching for my least worn items this fall season and wearing them for 5 days straight.

    I challenged myself to wear everything in my closet. I wore a different outfit for about 45 days, and during the sixth and seventh week I was even wearing dresses to work, which I wouldn’t normally do. This helped me to realize that many of the remaining items were not suitable for me to be seen in, so I was able to donate a hundred items that were too small, see through, not weather appropriate, too casual, etc. A great exercise and a reality check.

    I have a hard time with "saving clothes for a special occasion." I often don't bother getting dressed if I work from home. I just wear leggings and items I wouldn't feel okay going outside in. It's difficult to overcome this "saving the good things" mentality. I really struggle with this. It might be interesting to try your "least worn items for a week" challenge to force myself to try to wear those unworn items.

    This was so interesting and inspiring! I've worked from home for a ling time, always wearing my "at home" clothes. I also have a toddler, so it didn' t make sense to "dress up" just to drop him off at the daycare before work. At work I'm on video quite a lot, so sometimes I would quickly run to get a nicer top before a call so that people would 't notice I'm wearing almost the same sweatshirt every day 😅 you inspired me to change that and this has actually been life changing. I also started leaving my house more often.
    I don' t like skinny jeans on me anymore, too :)

    I can really relate to your comments about each outfit. It is good to be aware of why we like or dislike clothing pieces. Recently when I went to put on my fine cashmere sweaters, I noticed moth damage on two of them. It is a heartbreaking find. I am hoping they can be repaired. This alerted me to the fact that I need to take better care of my fine wool items. If you have advice on cashmere storage, I would like to see this in a future video. Thank you for this video. It was nice to hear about your process for evaluating outfits for wearability and comfort.

    Yup doing the same right now this was great to see. I stored all my denim but one pair I have two of same that fit perfectly and can double as trousers bc so dark. I lost weight and life is too short to hunt for pants that fit. Our clothing taste is very similar. We can get to -50c here and I’m thinking the extreme dry air makes some clothing textures less appealing in winter. Cashmere just feels great. Nadaam cashmere is so far best value I’ve found. Happy thanksgiving in Canada we are now done thanksgiving and gearing up for Christmas and advent. ❤️🇨🇦
