I TRACKED MY WARDROBE FOR 90 DAYS...here’s what I learned (so far) | my most worn clothes 

Would you track your wardrobe like this? Who else loves the data? 😂

Clothes are for the life we live, not for the life we imagine. 😊

I'm an accountant and have had a cost per wear spreadsheet for years. Yes another nerd here 😀

I've been tracking since July and totally agree that the results are sometimes surprising. The pieces that 'spark joy' often don't get the most wears because they're not as functional/versatile as some of my workhorses.

So interesting, isn’t it? I did the same spreadsheet for myself. My most worn item was a long sleeved white v-neck tee. I wore it under buttonups, sweaters, pullovers, and i slept in it. I have multiples of it. I found that i have some favorite pieces, that although i love, I wouldn’t gravitate toward. I had to sort of force myself to wear it to give it a tally mark to justify keeping it. That was eye opening. So my ‘fictional/fantasy’ pieces didn’t match my current lifestyle.

I've been tracking my wardrobe like this for several years. I can calculate the cost/wear for an item and it becomes very clear which items I theoretically wear versus the items I actually wear. Helps with decluttering as I move between my fall/winter and spring/summer wardrobes.

I love how you talk about things you imagine yourself gravitating toward vs. what you actually wear regularly. I’ll definitely do this activity ~ it seems like it’ll help me better reflect on my own personal style 💕

just recreated this spreadsheet because this is how I plan to have fun as quarantine continues.

Your spreadsheet is my kind of aesthetic.

def doing this whenever we’re able to start regularly leaving our house

Very cool to see how this played out! I will be tracking my wardrobe the second I am going into work and getting (actually) dressed again (if I decluttered according to this method now, I would be left with one U of T hoodie and 4 pairs of sweats)

I absolutlely love the idea of using a spreadsheet to track clothing. I would also love to see a vid of your least worn pieces and why you they haven't been worn (except for seasonally inappropriate clothing)

I’ve been counting how many times I’ve worn a piece of clothing for about 2 years now. I do it in my phone, in my notes, I really enjoy adding the numbers, analysing them, transfer them into new season. I used to buy A LOT of clothes, now I buy less, wear more and I’m more satisfy with them. (I also keep some pictures of my favourite outfits from every season so I can rewear my clothes as much as possible)

So interesting! I'm not working currently, and my outings are limited to grocery runs and/or medical appointments, tbh. So most days, I am in what I refer to as my "slagwear," or things I really don't worry about cooking in, drinking coffee or whatever. I mostly won't go out in slagwear, but many days I do NOT go out. I don't do excel, but I think I will make an effort to track what I'm wearing, because I'm sure it will be very enlightening! Thanks for this!

A Small Wardrobe inspire me to want a pair of blundstones but you convinced me to get the chiseled toe. I found a gently used pair on Poshmark and knew it was meant to be!

I just love watching you because you are a different person since this all started. You look so happy and give me hope. You show me what can happen with a little discipline. Thank you.

I track what I wear by turning the hanger the wrong way round to begin with :) then as I wear my clothes I’ll put the hanger the right way :) works every time ❤️

I have the lululemon pants too and wear them all the time. They make me feel like I got dressed. I track using Cladwell and like seeing what I want to wear vs what I actually wear. Thanks for sharing!

Great video! I’ve been tracking my wardrobe with the Stylebook app for over 3 years now and it has taught me so much about what I do/don’t wear. I love pulling up the app during a declutter to see if I really wore that top that barely survived the last declutter. And it offers so much great data about cost per wear!!

I’m enjoying watching you process of decluttering and Especially since you collaborated with signe

Can't wait to see the update on how your tracking goes! I tracked mine for over 2 years and it was very helpful and insightful.

I am a microbiologist by education and I work in publications. I'm similarly left brained! I did a similar exercise to this with my makeup and it was really helpful to see what I was truly wearing.

Hi! I've been following you for a long time but finally dug up this video again to see how you tracked your wardrobe. Fellow data and excel nerd and this tracker is GOLD! You made it so easy for us all, thank you so much! I'm attempting a "no buy January" and "low buy year" and think it would be fun to track what I wear. I was going to create one from scratch and then remembered you did this already. Thank you, Christina!

“ I am a nerd”! I could read and write at age 5, I was talking to my niece who is a fitness freak and I remember her telling me ‘ I am not a nerd”, and I said “ you know I was born nerdy right? “ And she said “ yes grandpa told me, such a sweet conversation! Best wishes

I love this idea of tracking my outfits! I'm a total budgeting spreadsheet nerd, so you're speaking my language 😂 I did photos/descriptions of every piece of clothing I own in a closet app, so this would be next-level fun!

the Into Mind book had a helpful system where some of your pieces are your signature style, but you also need basic pieces to complement them

I've been starting to track my clothes as well...a little weird and hard to do this year. But it was fun to see your process. This I think, is a common thing where what we want or think we wear is very different from our actual reality. Such an insightful and valuable exercise.

Great video! I love how those numbers say more about our clothing usage than ourselves. I might try to use your spreadsheet once I go back to university since I left most of my clothes there before lockdown!

LOVE this video so much. Please make it a quarterly update!

Your such a wonderful person! Love listening to you.

What a coincidence, I also have a 14 carat gold bar necklace with my beloved deceased pet's name on it! I'm obsessed with your channel by the way, we have the exact same style, and my closet looks basically the same as yours!

I’m so excited about tracking my wardrobe. I just started today. I love spreadsheets and analyzing. I’ll respond later on what I learned.

I started doing this last month but input data from August cause somehow I remember how much I used my most worn pieces and it’s been really interesting to see which ones I always gravitate towards

mostly i wear my work uniform. At home therefore it's the dressing gown. Sarcastic partner: now the world's finally caught up with your style.

Hi! Me! 🙋‍♀️ I have a spreadsheet for my entire wardrobe and my capsule. I’m tracking my capsule day-by-day (example: I love my green silk shirt! I almost never wear it!) and working to reduce my overall wardrobe (ideally, by half).

I have the black on the fly pants as well and they are so versatile. dressed up, down, work friendly and travel more comfy friendly. i would love them in a tan color as well

You started talking about your dog I started crying 🥺

This is a great idea, thank you! I want to wear blazers but I never do 😳 I have the cutest red one I can’t seem to part with 🤷‍♀️😂😳

I've just got inspired by one of your videos and have started tracking my outfits!!!! This has been SURPRISING and it has only been one week

Hi Christina! I am a newer subscriber and I love this video. So interesting that you tracked your outfits. Your white sneakers look comfortable, always looking for a nice white shoe that doesn’t look too athletic. I am a teacher who is teaching in person this year, so a comfortable shoe is key. Love your videos! Cheers from Chicago! ✨

Thank you for sharing your spreadsheet! As an accountant who is downsizing her wardrobe (60% reduction since March), this is right up my alley! Curious to see what I will find is most worn.

Love your spreadsheet. I’ve been using it since you first posted it and I added a photo column and separated out my workout and outerwear into different tabs. Thank you so much for making the template for this. It’s so easy to log. I use it in combination with the Cladwell app. Thank you!

I totally want to do this myself... it would be so interesting to find out what I actually wear.

I've been living in my Lululemon joggers this Fall. :)

Great video idea! I think tracking would really make me appreciate what I already have :)

I’ve been tracking with Stylebook for over 1000 days!!! 😂😂

I've been using an app for it and logging my outfits consistently for over a year. I think it's a great idea to know how many times we worn certain item. I also have a spreadsheet with list of all my clothes. I wanted to make sure that I wore every single item from my closet during the entire year. I did btw. My most worn item from this month is beige turtleneck.

lots of people around me can't relate with all the listing and organizing that i did, so im really glad that i found this community of tracking nerds lol

I started using a closet app that can track your most worn items. My go-to pieces have changed a lot since the pandemic.

I ❤️ the spreadsheet!!!

I use the Stylebook app for tracking my wardrobe wears. I occasionally forget to log my outfits, but it told me my most worn item this year is a purple & blue tye die maxi skirt (i live in very hot southern california). While this makes sense for the climate here, it definitely surprised me ;)

*Let's hear it for Canadian style! :)* I think this is a great exercise, Christina. We would have a chance to really see what our personal style is versus who we think we are; what we think we reach for versus the pieces that we actually do. Not to mention that it _is_ a fantastic decluttering tool. Mind you, living in Ontario (I'm 3 hours north of you, near North Bay), using the rule of "if you haven't worn it in the last 6 months" just doesn't work for us. We have such a range of seasons!!! This is a _great_ idea as the beginning of so many pathways... Thank you for sharing this part of your journey with us! :) Btw, I totally understand why you would have the tattoo and the necklace in memory of your sweet pup - these are the pets that are more than just animals... or even just pets! They are family members, friends, sometimes even confidants. I think the necklace is your way of celebrating just how special a friend you had. :) Shannon A.

I actually use the app Stylebook. I get a lot of data out of it without having to do the calculations my self. I highly recommend it. :)

I’m gonna start doing this now, I love it!!

i love the gold round circle ring almost bought it today ! might have to now w/ the discount , thanks :) ;)

I really want to try this but now is just absolutely useless time for that. I'm doing home office so I wear none of my blazers and blouses except once a week when going grocery shopping. But as soon as lockdown ends I will do it. It sounds like a really good idea!

I've been thinking of doing it since you talked about the spreadsheet!!! I'm definitely going to do it now 👍

I've been tracking since July 2019 - although 2020 is definitely an anomaly of a year as there have been many, many days I didn't really get dressed. My most worn item of all time is a pair of vintage boots I bought in 2009 for £25. Looking at my tracking data, I estimate I've worn them at least 300 times! In 2020 so far, I've only worn shoes on 84 days - so low it's crazy! - and 20 of those times I was in those boots. That's almost a quarter! I have a few older items in my wardrobe, but these boots are really the only thing that I have consistently loved and worn as my style has changed over the years. They have been re-heeled three times and re-soled once but the actual boot leather is holding up really well. I'm hoping I can keep them for another ten years!

My inner nerd say yes, do this, too 🤓 Because I’m able to do home office, it makes more sense for me after Covid-19 😷

I used Smart Closet for a long time and learned a lot 😁

This is such a cool idea! But I wonder whether it’s helpful for me when I wear different things over different seasons 😅 I tend to avoid wearing collared button ups in summer for example and wear dresses more in summer!

my dog passed last week, and I love that idea of engraving his name on a piece of jewelry. ❤️

Okay yup. I love data and spreadsheets. I want to do this experiment

A pharmacist??? I WOULD DIE FOR A LAB LOOKBOK. WIth all the safety requirements and so on!

Love this!!!!!

I’m so so sorry about your fur baby. I just lost my sister Michelle in April 2020 and want a tattoo of her name on the inside of my arm, my significant other is saying I shouldn’t do this that I might regret it but I’ve been thinking about it for 7 months and still want it. I love the idea of having her name on a necklace too. ☺️ I need to learn to conquer spread sheets. I panic when I think about making spread sheets! Please help and do a tutorial for the creative mind. I wish I was better with numbers and things but I’m just not into it I struggle with organization these days. I’d love to get an inventory system going for my fashion reselling business . I’m glad I found you. You seem authentic and kind. Thank you for inspiring me tonight. Oh also I am obsessed with vintage Levi’s too! My fav pair are really from the 80’s and are 501 jeans. I love blazers too! Omg especially vintage. Okay I’ll shut up now. Sending love & light to you! Know your loved ones are still with you in spirit and not so far away. Love 🙏❤️Joy ☮️

Omg I am not alone in tracking how much I wear my clothes hahaha! I have tracked if I have worn a certain piece since the beginning of June and want to keep on tracking till at least the end of the year so that I have 6 months of tracking. Definitely taking some of the details out of your spreadsheet into mine ❤️. Love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

I want to do this immediatley! I Change my clothes with project333 , in a slightly modified version which fits better for me. And for autumn Winter i didnt pick out well. Mostly because its too cold and wet for the stylish Outfits and i am picking the warm and cozy ones :D

I’m wanting an inventory to see what I have, what I need, how often I wear each item, & what I wore it with for quickly pulling outfits together? Tops are my first priority as they take up most of my closet space. I tend to get “into the weeds”, so I’m wondering how much detail will really be useful, ie, neckline, length from shoulder seam to hem line, sleeve type, fabric, etc. As for pants, Rise? Color, fabric, detail, leg length, width, skinny?Thanks.

This is very cool! Ok so I dont have any data to back this up 😂 but I would say my most worn outfit is A basic black long sleeve wool/cashmere blend crewneck that I got a while ago from the h&m men's section My high waisted black cargo pants from Tristan My olive Barbour wax jacket My chelsea black booties

Love vid's like this!🙏

My most worn items the past 3 months as a new mom in the middle of a pandemic are 2 pairs of leggings and joggers, 2 nursing tops, a cardigan.. well I guess that's it. Lol. Oh well, back to my "actual" style next year!

Do you have a cost per wear value that you target or see as successful?

Your jewelry is gorgeous, I will check out their site👍🏼

You are just so sparkly and beautiful

Loved this concept of tracking your wardrobe to see what you actually wear. Just guessing, I'd say my skinny jeans and cashmere sweaters get the most use. Meanwhile, I have too many clothes so I'd be hard -pressed to wear the same thing in a couple weeks. I know this sounds crazy, but I think I collect things just to have them and look at them! My biggest issue is loving beautiful fabrics, dresses and shoes but not being realistic about my lifestyle. I'm retired (67), I walk, run, have an active casual lifestyle. So why am I buying silk blouses etc which aren't appropriate for my day to day?Especially during our covid lockdown in Manitoba. Anyone else with this "problem"? I'd love to hear!

Love this idea 💡👍🏻

In consider myself “jeans and a t-shirt” as well... but I’ve been pregnant and/or post-partum for 2 years now so I haven’t worn jeans in 2 years basically. I invested in 2 awesome pairs I love literally the month before I got pregnant the first time and I refuse to spend more $ on jeans

Want to try this!!!

WHY DID YOU DO IT?! I’ve just started an excel sheet of everything I own 😂 🙈 I just wanted to track what I wear and then I started wondering if I own more than think of other items as well and now everything is excel

just wanna check - what's your height and measurements if you don't mind sharing - love your fashion!

This was a different kind of video I liked it.

i always wear what i don't mind getting dirty or wrecking, never stuff i like therefore

I have a button up white shirt because it is part of the staples you should have in your wardrobe!!! I never wear it! I also I realize that blazers (another staple I should have) do not fit me! Short jackets (at the waist) flatter me more and I luckily found nice ones in thrift stores. We have to take inspiration from the fashion youtubers but not follow blindly!!!

Interesting for sure - I have never tracked what I wear

Does anyone have a template suggestion on doing this type of tracking? I, too, have noticed a shift in the style of clothing I wear in 2020 due to lockdown, but am curious to actually put some numbers into it. Part of me wants to declutter heavily, but I keep reminding myself that eventually I'll probably wear nice dresses and heels again ;)

there was a great vid by the Messy Minimalist - she lives in the States and runs a motel with her husband and 2 daughters - and the vid was about Fantasy "Me". the premise was all about the things we buy to feed the fantasy of ourselves....things we end up with but will never wear because they are all about the fantasy we have of ourselves....and I am so identifying things I've purchased and just hung in my closet - and blazers is one of them. I can't wear anything like that to work because I"m just too hot all the time - summer and winter. I drive my coworkers nuts because they're always cold and I'm always so hot...and I mean sweat-hot...so altho fantasy me says I look great in blazers and need to own them - real me can't......so thats been my latest decuttering mission......this charting is a great idea if you are in the wild about your clothes - love it - it looks so professional...LOL

Love it!

Hi! May I ask what camera you use?

You should check out the blog recoveringshopaholic.com. Her entries on wardrobe management and journaling are so good! I’ve learned so much from it.

Wait how do we get the spreadsheet? 🙈

I’m too early for this 😂

⭐️

You wore blazers during 2020? 🤯

🖐🏼🙂

Did you know Chaika means seagull!

It's so refreshing to see a natural normal-looking woman without a bubble butt, lip fillers, or oversexualized hyperfeminine features and body.

Another super video. I have to say I am sick of SO MANY people on youtube "styling" a plain white T and layered gold chains. lol most of which are all identical! Its very boring. I've checked out this Mejuri line of jewelry and reviews say its not well made. so, If someone wants nice gold chains go to an antique store, coin shop, vintage shop, garage/yard sales, estate sales, ETSY, poshmark, offerup, or craigslist. You are more likely to find a well made REAL gold piece if you are experienced in fine jewelry markings, etc. @style apotheca Why Mejuri sponsored content on a so called minimalist, sustainable you tube channel?
