FAQ
Where is your clothing rack from?
I bought this from Freedom Furniture - I believe that they may still have similar styles but I’ve had this for quite a while now!
How tall are you?
I’m 5’8” or approx 172cm tall.

I would recommend buying vintage cashmere sweaters, to those who don't want to see their sweaters slowly fall into a decline. I buy almost entirely vintage cashmere blazers, sweaters, wool and cashmere blazers, and they are decades old and look brand new. And I didn't pay a crapload of money for them either. Thrift, consignment, and Etsy is everyone's friend. Great video!
Such a great tip! Thank you lovely x
@@mademoisellejaime Thank you! Love your videos! :)
Agree 100%! I also started to thrift camel hair blazers and coats too. Purchased some on eBay and Savers for less than $45 that are brands from high end department stores in like new condition.
Reztyle Epic!
I've got my cashmere scarfs and sweater second hand and saved a lot too.
Love this!! I like to invest in high quality basics (keeping in mind that everyone has different "basics" in their wardrobe) made at least slightly more sustainably and then I shop vintage/pre-loved for my accent pieces like printed tops and fun blazers etc. I definitely have a budget and I care very deeply about sustainability while still enjoying fashion so my biggest concern is how long I'm going to be able to keep an item in my wardrobe. If it's something I may no longer like in a couple years then I only really buy it if its pre-loved. If it is flimsy and cheap I won't buy it even if I love it because I know it will waste my money and hurt the planet when it quickly becomes unwearable. I think this is really important for saving money as well as saving the planet's resources.
I think that's such a great attitude to have Amber!
I wash my silk at home, softly in cold water and dry iron (without steam) the piece at a low temperature before it dries. That way I don't spend that much in dry cleaning and avoid the smell of perc (which is the only cleaning solution they use in my country). It takes some of your time, though. Big hug!
I do this too, even with my precious equipment shirts, and I've had no problems so far. If anything, it's more gentle on the fabric than the harsh dry cleaning solutions.
Love this video! Great advice and I love that aren't afraid to rewear and reshare your wardrobe favourites!
Thanks Bonny! Glad to hear you enjoyed it :)
Hi Jamie, I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your content. I love your ethical approach to shopping and you have such timeless style. You've inspired me to be more mindful of my purchases and more appreciative of what I already own 😊
Thank you Ellie, I'm so glad that you're able to get some value from my content
Hi Jamie, very smart tips - thank you so much for sharing your thinking when it comes to the decision to splurge or save. I always invest into quality fabrics and cut or design. Really enjoyed listening to your criteria. Have a great day!
Thanks for watching lovely :)
Jamie that Lover dress looked so so beautiful on you! Such a great find! I personally love Uniqlo for basics, I also love U T shirts, I have 6 colours of them, and 3 pairs of the smart ankle trousers! They recently got a very nice light weight short sleeve cotton shirt, looks just like your Madewell one, super comfortable fabric! Great video as per usual😀 X
Thanks Lynn! Uniqlo is the best for basics - I've been popping in there every now and then and always find myself taking an armful of clothing to the changing room (then restraining myself when I go to the check out haha).
Such a thorough and practical guide on the topic ! Great video 👍
Thank you! xx
Ótimo vídeo, me deu muita inspiração. Obrigada!
Thanks Luisa! x
Love your style! Thank you for providing the links to everything! I was wondering, where is your watch from?
Thanks Brunella! The watch is from Linjer :)
Hi Jamie, I absolutely loved this video. You showed some really lovely pieces -- definitely worth investing in! xo, Sue
Thanks so much Sue! Xx
Enjoyed this video. Love your style!💕
Thank you Jeanne! x
I really enjoyed this visit. I appreciate your take on practicality on where and when to spend or save. Great tips on mentioning tailoring say the Uniglo trousers. I've been eyeing them for sometime but always have been unsure of their sizing.I hope you don't mind me asking but did you buy the Sam Edelman loafer in the standard width?
Thanks Deborah, so happy you enjoyed this one. The Uniqlo tailoring service is great - highly worth it given it's free! :)
I didn't know that they had other widths for the Sam Edelman loafers, so I believe so. I'm wearing them in my usual size, a US9 (aka EU40/UK7) x
Hi Jamie! Great video, really loved it 😊 what size did you get in the lover dandelion dress? Does it fit true to size? Thanks!
Thank you Amy! I’m wearing the Lover dress in a size 6; it fits me like a glove. I’m in between an AU 6-8, and I would say Lover clothing (for more recent seasons, definitely not for old!), runs a touch big. HTH x
I truly appreciate this type of video. So many good tips here. I definitely need to replace my white tee and need to invest in a quality winter coat. Love your haircut too.
On another note, I sure hope you have got your hands on Everlane's Alpaca Sweater.
Thanks Nikki - glad to hear you enjoyed it! :) Haha I will be; just waiting for it to arrive (not that I need it right now but it sounded far too dreamy) x
Such a thoughtful and helpful video - thank you!
Thanks Bella! x
omg this dress, the last one that you showed, is soooo pretty! it looks amazing on you
Thank you Dora
Jamie, your hair looks AMAZING in this video!!!
Thanks Ali!
Love this video! It makes me think about my purchases more, and hopefully eventually will lead to more conscious shopping.
Could you please make a video about freelancing?
Thanks Anara! I do think I'll do a bit of a Q&A about work in the future so if you have any questions please shoot them through :)
That dress fits you beautifully!! Wow
Aw thank you!
'Oh that Stella McCartney coat looks beautiful, I'm gonna check the price cause maybe-----WHOOAAAAHHAHHHAHA NO'
(Financial struggles of a twenty-something: the musical)
Haha your comment made me laugh out loud when I read it. The price tag is definitely not for the faint-hearted!! x
Literally what I just went through!
Love this video!!
Thanks lovely x
I spend on Shoes and trousers (I'm pear shaped so need well cut trousers) I save on jumpers as I often buy them pre-loved on eBay. I have also had good luck with second hand Blazers too. 🤓
I definitely put a lot of stock in the pre loved market - so many goodies to be found. I think The Real Real is a great place to go if you wanted a designer one (but without the designer price tag!) x

This video was super helpful!!
Thanks Brooke
Hi, did you need to size down on your Joseph sweater? The size guide on their website only offers generic measurements instead of the garment's measurements. What size is your sweater? if I may ask
Love love love all of your videos. So helpful!
Hey there, sorry for the delay! I'm wearing mine in the size S. It's an oversized fit on me and I probably could also wear the XS for a less slouchy fit. If you're petite (I'm 172cm so more on the average tall end of the spectrum), I'd size down xx
Great video, please do more of this type. Also would be great if you can include your size with each item - it would be helpful i think. Thanks xx
Thanks for the feedback Cindy - I usually do sizing in videos where things are new, but I can try and incorporate this moving forward if others would find it useful too :)
Love this informative video
Thanks Arabella!
i buy a lot of my sweaters secondhand from thredup. i find a lot of uniqlo pieces for less than 20 dollars. definitely super affordable! great video!
That's amazing! There are so many great finds on the pre loved market. Thank you :)
I love your videos, keep them coming. I spend the most, relatively, on silk items, coats, shoes, bags and jewelry, all in classic styles because I keep them forever, or almost, and these are the items where I think quality matters the most. Even then, I never buy designer; to me an expensive item comes from Nordstrom. Everything else comes from high street brands (usually called mall brands here in USA, though we are gradually adopting the British term, too, because it is used in more countries, our equivalent “Main Street” doesn’t work for fashion). My long wool winter coat is 30 years old and in perfect condition, if out-of-style, but it is Dior (oops, I guess I did buy designer brands when, as a career woman, I had more money to spend on clothes, my life is now very casual).
I have become a fan of Asos this year now that they have an international free returns in NZ that is extremely easy to use and doesn't leave you paying any postage at all. I agree with you that it is a good idea to try and save on occasion wear. I bought a ball gown 5 years ago for $700 and wore it only once. I don't want to wear it again as I got a lot of photos of me at that event. This Summer coming I have a couple of evening events coming up where I want to wear two different long dresses but didn't want to spend so much money. Being 183 cm tall it is not so easy for me to shop pre loved online but Asos tall section has been amazing to try out a bunch of options cut for tall people. I have now purchased two great evening maxi dresses that look way more expensive than what I paid for them - both from Asos Tall - and I was able to return the items that didn't suit me. I see they have petite and plus size ranges also, so thats my tip for people who are not in the average size range! The quality can be hit and miss but I keep the hits and return the misses!
They've started doing the same thing in Australia which is incredibly handy! I occasionally shop from the Tall range for swimwear/jumpsuits (not quite as tall as you - I'm 172cm) and I think it's great that they cater to so many different body types. Agree that it's hit or miss but those ASOS gems are always goodies, plus they seem to have some gorgeous going out options. Definitely a great place to look. On the high street (though it doesn't have the same shipping/returns policy), Topshop also do a tall/petites range too.
&other stories is a great source for silk shirts in multitude of colors and patterns. I wash them in washing machine on gentle program. When silk has been washed and air-dried, it comes out hard and wrinkled but smoothes entirely back to the original fabric feel when ironed.
Ooh thanks for the tip re: & Other Stories. I'm waiting for the day they start shipping to AU as I love browsing their site. I find that if it's a washed silk, it doesn't necessarily go back to its original condition (with that sueded brushed effect) when I do that - might be the kind of detergent that I use!
@@mademoisellejaime maybe... detergent counts a lot. I use wool&silk detergent and no softener. Washing at 40 degrees C, spinning at 800rpm and drying on a hanger. then ironing on silk setting (or medium heat, two dots, ideally with steam) and it goes back to original effect that I'd indeed describe as suede brushed... Anyway, once they start shipping to AU, beware, as you may get addicted! Their clothes are fantastic value, great quality for very reasonable prices, perfect, flattering cuts and consistent sizing.
@@cuirka next time I do a grocery shop I'm going to look for a wool&silk detergent cos at the moment I use the same one for all the rest of my shopping. Yes I get a feeling I probably will. I figure there must be a reason why the UK bloggers talk about it all the time - it has to be good!
Great video!
Thanks lovely x
Such a useful video! I’m definitely the same. I never buy bags or clothes which cost thousands of dollars, to be honest with a good quality piece, $200-300 is way enough. What u end up buying is just the brand...
Thank you! I've definitely watched videos for luxury brands where you can see that the level of detail, quality of the materials, workmanship and physical hours put into a product is incredibly high, so I can understand the higher price point to a degree but I totally agree you're buying a brand. And that's fine if you completely love the bag and it's where you want to spend your money. I love Chanel bags but I find that the constant raising of the price to be off-putting. If I'd bought a classic flap 8 years ago I think the price was around $3K, now it's more like $8K - inflation hasn't risen that much in that space of time!
I really enjoyed this video and loved hearing your opinion on this topic! I will note that while I agree with you about choosing cheaper options for tees and such, I do still think it's possible to buy these cheaper items from companies with a better ethical and sustainability rating than Uniqlo. Kotn is a great brand you might want to try!
Thank you so much! I haven't looked into Kotn tees (though am familiar with the brand), but if it's a similar price point then definitely a better option as you say :)
I subscribed to your channel a few months ago and I just realized that you have ten times less subscribers than I thought! You really deserve more 💫
Oh you're too sweet, thank you darling
I have 4 cashmere sweaters from Marks & Spencer's retail is £ 75 . Recommend.
Thanks Sally, appreciate the recommendation. I can't seem to find them on the site (perhaps it's cos I'm in AU), but I will definitely be trying to pick some up next time I'm in the UK x
Can you please let me know what size you bought the Zara ginghal trousers in? thanks 😉
Sure no probs! I got them in an XS xx
Thanks 😄
What to you do with natural fibers that are prone to humidity, bugs? I live in a tropical climate
It gets pretty humid here in Sydney so we actually have a dehumidifier that we run in the house sometimes to strip the air of excess moisture. If you have issues with moisture and your clothing, I would highly recommend buying one as they are very effective. I haven't noticed any of my items to get moth-eaten but I'd probably invest in something like moth balls if that were one I faced! :)
i put all my knits and coats in plastic boxes with moth balls in spring and summer. if not, munch munch...especially cashmere!!!!those bugs love cashmere, too!
Hello! Are you a 9.5 in the Sam Edelman shoes? Is it the same US sising as Everlane? Thanks!!
Hey Emma! I wear a US9 in the Sam Edelman loafers and am generally a US9.5 in Everlane. EU40 In designer shoes. Hope that helps! x
mademoiselle Thanks so much! :-)
I spend on jumpers and Jean's, prob because that's what i wear most and hate having to replace Jean's when old ones wear out so I invest in better ones that last years
Good tips, thanks! Side note: I can't be the only one who thinks that bucket bag looks like a planter 😂
LOL omg no you are not! Another viewer (Greene Leaves) thinks the same. It's definitely one of those Insta-Blogger bags hahaha xx
Uniqlo cashmere is a bit itchy for me. But i haven’t tried on any others so maybe i just don’t do well with animal hair :\
I don't own any Uniqlo cashmere myself, but last I felt it in-store seemed very soft so could be that it's changed? I have heard good things about alpaca though! Have you seen the new Everlane sweaters - bit.ly/2QwoXSI - these are supposed to be very soft! x
13:29 simply amazing.
Thank you! x
shoes are my guilty pleasure 😔
Mine, too!! x
I Don’t buy any thing can’t wash. ..winds up costing too much
That's a good tip - dry clean only can be such a pain!

Thanks Annie! x
