► MORE ABOUT ADLINKS
Some of the links are just similar items due to availability (many of my clothes are older or secondhand), and some of them are adlinks which means I might be working on an affiliate-based term with the brand/website, or I have received the item in question as a gift in connection with a paid collaboration or similar. I may receive a small percentage in commission if a purchase is being made of some of these links. If you choose to use these links, thank you for your support - it’s one of the ways I can ensure an income and be able to keep creating content for you!
Also note that I go out of my way to find eco-friendly alternatives - either straight from slow fashion brands, from a brand that is improving qualities (organic cotton, recycled polyester etc.) or simply brands that I’ve personally had great experiences with in terms of longevity myself.

My biggest challenge right now is making my second-hand purchases more mindful. I'm too often tempted by the price, the quality of the piece, the uniqueness. Focusing on my style and being conscious as to whether or not I will actually wear what I'm buying is just as important.

I so relate to this! And completely agree with you, even secondhand purchases have to be mindful ones 🙏🏼❤️

@sallyparsons6933 3 часа назад

I can relate. Buying second-hand seems to make it easier for me to buy pieces for my fantasy self. The designer 4-inch heels were gorgeous and the price was so right but high heels do not fit my actual life which is casual and active.

I struggle too with dressing for my proportions (long body, short legs). A styling video of how to dress different body types would be really helpful.

I love a white shirt and I tend to over buy it.

The espadrilles did look very pretty❤

@UseLess_dk 4 часа назад

They were! Just didn’t feel like myself wearing them 🙏🏼

I live in the global south and I can tell you that some of the clothes actually get bought in bales and are on-sold here in second-hand stores. That is honestly great because we have no department stores where I live and the only other options are cheap, polyester rubbish from China, or sewing your own from cheap, thin fabric, also from China. I love that I can pick up quality linen clothes (perfect for our climate) at a great price.

That colour ( 12:28 ) suits you really well! I like to see that you’ve been implementing more shades in your wardrobe over the years :)

I get pretty much everything second hand, life long thrifter. But I agree about buying online, it’s so hit and miss, where I’ve made the most mistakes. Online I stick to certain brands that carry the same styles repeatedly so I know I can’t go wrong. E.g I’ve bought a specific size and style of t-shirt by British brand seasalt several times on eBay, they’re my favourite t shirts, I get tons of use from them over several years.

@UseLess_dk 3 часа назад

Great tip! I also tend to stick with brands I already know the sizing of when buying secondhand online these days, just to make sure! 🙏🏼

Love this 😊🌸

@suryasikhapathak1911 Час назад

all time regrets - heels, collared shirts, loose jackets, meaningless jewelry. much more mindful with my purchases now.

@hannarellah8497 2 часа назад

I love the point about making compromises with secondhand shopping! I had to learn this the hard way myself too 😂

@veerlesaman6948 2 часа назад

Why did you get rid of the leopard jacket? Looks very cool.

@UserinBerlin 45 минут назад

I have learnt not compromising on comfort when it comes to items for everyday wear. Sometimes it is very tempting to purchase a beautiful item, especially if it meets many other criteria such as my personal style and taste, that it is in a colour that flatters me, of a natural material and even a fit seems right. However, if those trousers feel too uncomfortable to sit in, shoes to walk in, or the material makes my skin itch, I will never enjoy wearing this item to its full, no matter that it is a quality wool etc. I might find ocassions to pull it out, but it will never be the same ammount of wear and joy as if it felt comfortable. I am still learning to resist each and every time, but I am more advanced than in the past. Thanks for the video! All the best.

I regret buying leather white sneakers who are slightly too big and make a squeaky noise by every step… but they were on sale…..I know 🙈

@annaunfortunately Час назад

I am always drawn to „special pieces“ with fun colours and patterns. But I feel best and the most myself in basic pieces. So I am working on looking out for those and ask myself: „Do I really need another oversized fluffy coat in pink and green zebra print?“

@sigriddjernaes Час назад

I have definitely regretted buying things for my fantasy self (who's on vacation all the time) or things that just didn't align with my style words (Classic, Relaxed, Sophisticated). I try to make mindful decision, but sometimes it just doesn't work out as we thought. Another scenario is when I truly need a garment - like a warm wintercoat - and just can't find anything that meets all the criterias and end up settling for something that's not completely right. I sometimes find it hard to find things in my color palette (soft autumn) as the choices as you know here in Denmark are often black and maybe one and two other colors 😭

@veekadlec Час назад

My biggest purchase regrets usually come from fantasy self shopping- anything boho, romantic or a bit too classic, is something I admire on others but is not just me and I don’t end up feeling great in it. I hope I have learned this lesson though and am much more aware and mindful of this tendency of mine. Very helpful video, I agree that it’s important to be kind to ourselves and others and use these mistakes as opportunities to learn and change our habits going forward. ❤
