✨ about my channel
I will be sharing the ups and downs of life and how to attempt to get through it in one piece. I’ll be sharing realistic life advice, minimalism tips, routines, vlogs, and anything else I think you would benefit from! Life is messy and unpredictable, and learning how to manage these hurdles is the first step to leading a happier and more intentional life. We're all trying our best out here, and I just want to share what is and isn't working for me.
Sending you all my love,
Grace

honestly im just glad that most of your clothes, just looks like a normal ppls wardrobe and not a bunch of skims, free people, lululemon, and shein...everyone so obsessed with brands these days...and girl dont worry about how long the videos are, i just play your video while im cooking lol
proud "normal person" here !!! most of my clothes are literally from old navy or the thrift store so lmfao
When you move to New Zealand, you can buy new Zealand shoes in New Zealand that meet your needs. The fewer you have to pack, the less it will cost you, the more money you’ll have to buy exactly what you need when you need it
yeah I'll have scaled wayyy down by then. I have a tag on my digital inventory list that says "declutter when you move" lol
Your rambly videos are the absolute best for body doubling!!!! One thing I like about your content is that it isn’t overly curated and “perfect”. You got this. Keep it up.
thank you💗💗💗
Yes! I love to turn these on when I clean!
What is body doubling?
@@hedwigseidel1934 For example watching videos where people are doing housework when you’re doing housework to make it easier or less boring. Here’s the Wikipedia definition and a link to the article : “Body doubling or parallel working[1] is a strategy used to initiate and complete tasks, such as household chores or writing and other computer tasks.[2] It involves the physical presence, virtual presence through a phone call, videotelephony or social media presence,[2][3] of someone with whom one shares their goals, which makes it more likely to achieve them.[1] For some people, it works best to both do similar tasks, while for others, just being in the same (virtual) room is enough.[2]” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_doubling
Same ❤
It’s always fun to be a bit nosy and see what’s in someone else’s closet haha. I’m still working on my wardrobe as well and found that having a strict number didn’t really work for me either. I like taking the seasonal capsule approach - some common pieces stay year round (t-shirts etc) but then others get put into storage under the bed when it’s not their season. I find it helps keeps things feeling fresh as well when I’m not wearing the exact same outfits year round - it’s fun to pull out the next season’s clothes and feel like I’ve got fresh new options even if it’s the same well-loved pieces as the year before. It’s creating artificial scarcity for myself but in a good way if that makes sense.
I love this!!
I also do the seasonal switch over and it helps a lot. You totally forget about pieces and then get excited about them 6 months later. I live in the UK. I started doing monthly mini capsules for fun.
I am still early on in the video, but have you heard of Project 333? You end up having a 33 item wardrobe (certain items don't count) for a 3 month period test run. Then the next 3 month stint, you analyze and adjust what does and doesn't work. I'm going to be trying it possibly the beginning of April! (But you can start it whenever)
honestly I feel like I could have done that before when I had more clothes, but now that I have so few, I don't know how beneficial it would be... but I love the concept of it and may do a bit of a tweak for my final "capsule wardrobe" situation...
For your one direction shirts: upcycle them into posters! I had several concert tees I love for the memories that I didn't want to part with but I didn't wear, and now they are cute decor for my wall and I get to look at them every day. There are tutorials on pinterest, but basically all you do is cut out the print and glue or staple it to a canvas. It's nice because it's so easy and you can do both sides if your shirt is double sided too!
omg that's such a good idea. I wanted to add make a blanked but with only a few that's not possible
or wear as pj/house tops x
I'm glad you did the shoes! I really struggle with letting go of shoes (even when they don't fit or are absolutely torn apart) haha
lmao clearly we're in the same boat 😭
Dont be so hard on yourself, girl!!! It’s ok to be frustrated and show it, the video is just great and has helped me figuring out some stuff I have to declutter and think properly about my wardrobe as well. Thanks for being so kind and sharing your journey with us ❤❤
thank you💗😭
I’m not a minimalist when it comes to clothes, but twice a year (autumn and spring) I go through everything I own when I swap out seasonal summer/winter pieces. I sell or donate the items I don’t use, and evaluate if I need to aquire anything. I live in a similar climate with all four seasons, and I store the seasonal pieces I’m not currently using in boxes at the top-part of the inside of my wardrobe. Everything is in the same place, and that makes me see that I have enough when the urge to buy more comes ❤️
that's great practice to have!!
I'm a college student with a teeny tiny wardrobe and I've had not that many clothes (like maybe 25 things) for 2-ish years and I have sooo many thoughts on this topic so SORRY this might be long. The thing that has helped me the MOST to actually get to a point where I don't feel excited by the idea of getting new clothes unless I have thought about it EXTENSIVELY first is repairing my clothes, caring for them carefully (like actually handwashing stuff that says its supposed to be hand washed, line drying stuff for the first time in my life), and essentially getting to know my clothes better because I actually observe them aging and changing as I wear them every week. It's to the point where it frustrates me to have clothes I don't love in my wardrobe, because they are taking up unnecessary time or decision space. And here I will make another important point. As I said I am a college student and I don't have the money (and also I actually don't want to because I know my opinions and style will likely change in the next 10 years!) to own the version of everything I NEED which I might literally "love." So when I say I "love" something, thats not always because I think its the best version of that thing to exist. I have these stupid fucking sweatpants which are baggy as hell and have a random brand name embroidered on them I got for 5 dollars at good will one day bc I needed sweatpants. They're comfy as hell and I can't be bothered to replace them and I love them because I wear them 3 times a week and they keep me warm. Also, because you expressed concerns abt this: I wear mostly lounge clothes and I have random ass clothes (For example purple shit in my college colors) which certainly do not go with a "color scheme." my pants are all gray and black. I am not trying to layer I am trying to rotate between my 4 favorite sweaters and sweatshirts. the advice in typical capsule wardrobe videos is kind of useless to me!!! (watch leena norms and ecofriend lia's videos on capsule wardrobes). If a guideline sounds genuinely useful or exciting to you try it, but honestly the restrictions like color scheme will reveal themselves and analyzing your own experience of your clothes is wayyyyy more useful. clothes are exciting to me BECAUSE I wear them and they make me feel good, not because I OWN them if that makes sense. So if I don't wear something, it kind of stresses me out to own it. When I started thinking of everything I own as something I need to care for and take care of first and foremost (like the cost of an item being the time I spend thinking about it, cleaning it, the space I spend storing it, the responsibility I have to dispose of it or repair it responsibly) having lots of things i don't use has become my worst nightmare.
All of this being said I have maybe one regret in all of decluttering. I acquired this truly amazing skirt when I was lydia deetz for halloween. it was gorgeous vintage goth. I decided I wouldn't wear it enough and got rid of it. now i have this truly epic ruffled goth shirt with an exorbitant amount of buttons and i only wear it for parties but thats the fun of it i decided! as long as you love taking care of it and storing it and thinking about it (I truly do) then you know its ok to keep it. It took me forever to realize that the "versatile" "practical" pieces which were supposedly supposed to bridge the gap between casual and fancy are useless to me. I will dress in the ratiest shit all week and then wear a lace dress out on the weekend. moral of the story is the things you always want to wear and the things that make you feel truly joyful to wear are the things that will serve you best, not a cookie cutter wardrobe that is designed for a lifestyle you don't live.
also having less shoes is the best thing that ever happened to me. I hyperfixate on things so wearing one pair of shoes for a year straight is perfect for me. I have gym shoes sandals and boots, plus one singular pair of sick ass shoes. done.
I love watching your videos because I really relate when you talk about your complicated feelings towards alot of minimalist and decluttering stuff and also idk your vibe is just very lovely and you are so much more honest (seemingly) about your struggles and problems like organizing and cleaning and just being a functional human being and shit than most youtubers so yeah thanks cuz I always love seeing a new vid in my feed :)
wow this was amazing !!!! thank you for sharing all of this!! and I totally resonate with a lot of what you've just said!!
Just seeing how much you light up when you’re holding your favorite items shows how nice it can be to have a wardrobe that’s really intentionally curated to your style!
Also, one thing I’d find really helpful if you have any thoughts is just some general tips/ideas for how to extend the life of your wardrobe. I always love hearing your ideas on how to dye or sew/embroider something to fix any issues that come up or have something take on a new life. If you’ve learned any tips working on broadway for how to care for different kinds of pieces or fabrics that would also be super helpful! I feel like laundry should be a simple chore but I’m honestly so clueless about how to care for my clothes long term. It seems like an important skill for minimalism and reducing consumption so if anyone has any good tips or resources please share!
thank you for this!!! and I'd absolutely love to do a video talking about these things!!! 💗
Yay, love a new minimalism vlog!
As a fellow minimalist I wear the same stuff over and over again, especially in winter. I have worn this one sweater, I swear it has blended into my aura. I don’t wear it outside the house to appointments, because it’s pretty worn, but working from home most all the time, I opt for comfort. It *is* pretty boring, I guess. But once I get really fed up with it, it’s summer - and/or things will change.
I actually spring-cleaned my closet yesterday and was happy to realise that I am getting to the point where all the things in my wardrobe actually fit me. One, because I’ve decluttered the aspirational stuff, and two because I lost some weight. (No Buy delivery and broken oven help in eating less junk food!)
My wardrobe is pretty severely minimal and I would like to have a bit more clothes. But where I live it’s really hard to buy good quality basics in my size (thrift stores are not an option for me as they have very little inventory for plus sizes and/or it’s all polyester cr4p).
Anyway. I’ve never adhered to any minimalist clothing format (10 items, 3-3-3, the black t-shirt). I’m just glad when I can get a pretty decent piece of clothing that fits me well and matches my criteria for quality and production. I have a smallish closet so that is also a good boundary to have 🙂
We have a similar skin tone and hair colour. You should dye the yellow dress. Apple or moss green or teal would suit you well, or a more deep orange (brique)?
Great job! Looking forward to your evolving style!
💜🌼
ugh I love this!!!! and I soo relate so what you're saying! I feel like I tried to do the 10 item wardrobe thing because it was like "what minimalists do" and it just was not working for me. I'm going to be creating my own sort of "capsule wardrobe" situation soon and I'm excited to make a video all about it and hear y'all's thoughts and input! 💗 also now I'm super excited to dye the dress !!! lol
I would love to see a video on dyeing clothes :)
I will 100% do that when I get to dying them! (it's been on my to-do list for way too long)
I love your realistic views on minimalism and your sense of fashion 😊❤
aw thank you!! 💗
I love watching your longer vids while cleaning or baking. I'm going to be trying to reduce the things I own this summer
you are my new comfort watch
wow that's so sweet thank you!😭💗
Watched all the way through! I always have issues with my shoes. I found that I was holding onto a particular pair of shoes just to go with one outfit, and just bit the bullet and declutterred both the shoes and that one outfit that exclusively went with each other. Problem solved.
you might have just unlocked something in my brain LOL
With your tailored dress, how about you try and wear it in a more casual way?
It could help break up the colour a bit while you decide if you want to dye it.
Maybe tights, trainers and a jumper over it when cold?
Or could have a loose shirt or jacket over it without tights in the summer?
that's a good point!
The yellow dress lacks contrast and you’ve got some contrast in your natural features (light skin, dark hair and eyes). I think adding some contrast to the outfit will help make the yellow dress work ie dark bag, shoes, belt etc
I agree that something subtle is off - I wonder if it's more of a warmth thing instead of a contrast thing? Grace might be a soft summer and the dress looks more clearly autumn (a bit too warm)
I am now having another crisis because last year I thought I was a warm autumn and then I thought I was a soft autumn, but now soft summer actually looks really accurate lmao I refuse to pay for the actual color analysis, but I'm sitting somewhere between soft summer and soft autumn and just going with that...
@gracenevitt it’s hard to tell on video of course but I reckon you do look right there at the soft autumn soft summer intersection! Do you feel like gold and silver jewellery both look pretty good on you?
@iosonoquella yeah they both look good!
@@gracenevitt yep that suggests neutral undertone and a soft autumn or soft summer colouring! You probably can use some colours from both palettes ☺️
Not following patterns or trends is so sexy /j /lh
Jokes aside, I currently own 20 clothing items (underwear not counted) + a pair of shoes and I'm totally comfortable and happy with them. No particular guideline or label for my system, it's just what I feel good owning right now. And it's all my style! No monochrome, no copying other people, no following the "minimalist aesthetic". I kind of love it. So pop off, Grace! You sticking to whatever makes you happier is awesome.
thank you!! 💗💗
I watched to the end! Watched while cleaning my art studio, it was perfect!
I really like the Wonder Wardrobe system by Daria Andronescu which focuses on building a fully interchangeable, personal, and sustainable capsule wardrobe. So no specific numbers or items. I bought her course a couple years ago and work on it every season, but you can gain a lot just from watching her videos and understanding the system. Here‘s the gist:
1. Lifestyle analysis: You need to know what activities you do in your life and how many clothes/outfits you need for them.
2. Colour harmony: Choose a colour palette that works for your colouring (seasonal colour anslysis) and that you love.
3. Body harmony: Make sure the silhouettes of your clothes work well for your body and go together.
4. Style harmony: Make sure your clothes go well together in style and represent your personal style.
You can also learn about all of these things from other free sources. For personal style harmony I‘ve been loving the Style Roots system from Ellie-Jean Royden. I feel like looking more into that could help you. You mentioned you wear „basic“ casual sporty clothes which would align with the stone style root. And you like earthy styles which match the earth style root.
Just some ideas! It‘s fun seeing your journey towards a minimalistic wardrobe :)
woah!! I'll check this out!!! thank you!!
really like this video!! it's a perfect company when i just wanna have something kind of in the background. also love these kinds of videos bc i'm currently trying to get my own wardrobe in good shape :)
Whenever you decide to start a dye project please film it! I’ve never dyed anything before and I’d love to see how you do it. 🥰
I will !!
Aaaah love the minimalism videos!! They always motivate me so much. Love the chaotic vlog type vids as well but these just seem to bring me a different type of joy
I am so glad!!
I don't do the 10 item, but probably around 15 pices (not counting outerwear or workout clothes). I live in Sweden we can have a 60 degree celsius differens in the summer and the winter. Where it can be as cold as -30° c and as hot as +30° c. But usually around -10 in winter and +20 in summer, but that's still a huge span. I do it in seasons, some clothes I wear 2-3 out of 4 seansons but switch some of it out. So you can say I do a combination of 10 item wordrobe with project 333. But you do what works for you, that's the most important thing! Love your content 😊👌🏻
And ps I think the yellow dress would look better in green! 😍
thanks for your feedback!! I love hearing the kind of modifications people do of these "well-known" systems. and yesss!! I think the green would suit me much better!
I like how much care you take of your things! It's very inspiring. Can you make a video of how you dye your clothing? Also, I remember you mentioned a product for protecting leather shoes, could you remind me what that is because I think I need that lol I had no idea you have to protect your leather and I just got cowgirl boots
hell yeah!! I'd love to do a video soon about how I take care of and repair my clothes and shoes :)
Uploaded 37 seconds ago. Wow, I've never been first to videos ever. Haha, good luck chicka, youve inspired me for a low buy yeat. Almost CC debt free
love this!!!
Definitely embroider something over the paint mark on those jeans, it will be so cute 🌼
Ugh, I love when a Grace video drops ❤
love watching these kind of videos! I watched the whole thing while i was doing my closet decluttering!
I relate to your reasons for the much smaller minimal wardrobes being a challenger I live in the Bay Area where we don’t have snow, but it’s cold and windy and it’s hot and sunny. Also, I visit my family up in Canada a few times every year. I don’t like the idea of getting rid of items I don’t wear often because the weather when I travel and then need those.
I try to keep a goal of when I purchase clothing it is something I NEED not something I JUST want. I’ve been good at this the last year and hope to keep it because haha it’s so easy to impulse buy and get things that are cute. I’ve tried making a rule where I need to give up 5 items to buy one item that is more because I want rather than need. Haha
shout out to getting rid of a thing because it has bad memories attached to it, I felt that
Hi Grace, you’re quickly becoming one of my favourite creators on this app and definitely the one who inspires me the most! I was about to throw out my Birkenstocks and ready to buy a new pair but instead I gave them a little bit of a TLC and now I don’t feel the need to buy them new 😊 also I found myself browsing Amazon for a kindle but then I remembered I actually have an old kindle that still works, I just need to figure out how to connect it to my account.. also might try to contact Amazon and get rid of the ads just like you did ☺️
I love this !!! thank you 💗💗💗
You are doing great - i resonate a lot with you , thank you for sharing your journey
you look so pretty in this video (i mean you always do but especially here i think)
omg thank you😭😭💗💗💗
Honestly I love the wardrobe videos!! I want to do a similar thing with my wardrobe!
I live in a similar environment. Close to 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer and -50 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter. I tried the capsules. In the end they were never practical for me. I decided to stop obsessing over the number and focus on just enjoying what’s in my closet. I also decided to stop and process why I want to buy something before buying.
this is pretty much where I'm at now!!
I enjoyed it. You keep it real. Which is refreshing!
I love wardrobe videos! I think I recommended a "what I wear in a week as a minimalist" before and Im so excited to see you post more clothing content! ❤
oh yes!! I will try to do that soon!
I think it’s interesting to see other people’s favorites. I feel so weird with tank tops I only have like 3, sleeves are comforting to me lol. I usually wear black, but have 2 peach/pink sweaters and 1 tan shirt that wash me out, but I kinda like that they do lol.
Loved this!!
For the shoes you aren’t sure about, ask yourself, if I didn’t have this pair of shoes, what would I wear instead? And if you have an answer and something else will work just fine, you don’t need to keep them
If I were choosing shoes to keep, keep your everyday sneaker ones, your docs, your rainbows, the white heels, your rain boots, your blundstones, and your cowboy boots. The burgandy ones I’m on the fence about, because would the blundstones work instead in most cases?
You have my permission to get rid of your running shoes, your fake Birkenstocks, the burgandy ones if you have an opportunity to wear them and chose not to, your rain boots if you don’t love them, the snow shoes with scruffy fur, and the “crusty hell”.
You will definitely have new shoes before New Zealand.
LOL you pretty much narrowed down most of the ones I'm on the fence about!! I'll have to make an official decision once I've narrowed down my "capsule wardrobe" aka during the next lil video of this mini series within a series haha
@@gracenevitt I actually really liked this video btw. You don’t have to try to be interesting. You just are lol
What if you layered a long sleeve tee under the yellow dress? So then the yellow isn't up against your skin. Morgan Evelyn Cook just made a wardrobe reset video that had a really good logical process for evaluating your wardrobe. Hannah Louise Poston also has a good video on choosing colors to optimize your wardrobe. Your situation is tricky though because you aren't adding to your wardrobe for the next 9 months so not sure if evaluating if you can really perfect your wardrobe without adding to it.
yeah that's where I'm kinda like "what the heck do I do"
maybe embroider a sunflower on the jeans? since you already have brown for the center lol
LMFAOOO yeah true
Yeees dye the yellow dress green!!
the people have spoken!! it's 100% happening 💚
You're CRACKING ME UP
lmao thank youuuu hahah
I'm doing a no buy year but I am coming from an excess of clothing rather than having wardrobe gaps...I'm still kind of deciding whether I do want to minimize my wardrobe or if I just want to be okay with excessive clothes, and minimal everywhere else in life because right now it feels like all my clothes do bring me joy! Trying a Spring capsule currently with about 40 pieces 😅
Thanks for sharing your wardrobe!
I'd say, if you wanted to do some light decluttering, just donate the pieces that you really haven't worn, touched, or thought about in the past year.
There are a few jeans that I don't really like but I work in childcare so it's probably best to just wear them at work, because it doesn't matter if they get messed up
I'm also in a wardrobe deficit and on a low buy! I gave myself an exception to buy a small set number of clothing items for this purpose. It's interesting how much more thought I'm putting into what I'll buy to fill those gaps because of the low buy...
Love you too girl ❤
Still here 😄 it’s fun to watch people process I feel it helps me when I declutter 😄
that's very relieving to see lol glad it helps!!
Girl why is the orange tank top curse so infectious xD I also have an orange tank top and although i wear it sometimes I just don't think it looks good on me and I've tried decluttering it many times but every time I chicken out xD
lmaoooo I'm committing!! I have to now that I know about the curse😂
lol you can get rid of the cashmere one and the white/cream sweater. You don’t like either of them, you shouldn’t keep them. If you didn’t have them, what would you wear to a kind of fancy event?
But then again do the burgandy shoes go okay with the plum coat? Because you could just go in that direction when you need to be fancy and that’s cute!
Also, the tan zip up can go, because you would rather wear your book sweater anyway
Yes, good points. Love the plum on Grace!
A shacket is a shirt jacket! hahaha they're definitely v cute for fall/ winter ☃️
Omg nvm you figured it out hahaha
LMAO thank you though!!! you're a real one
For the dress at 4:50, if you dont FEEL your best when wearing it, you know it's time to dye it green and try to get more wear out of it. Lately, I've started making declutter chocies on tough pieces after I intentionally try to wear them more. If I don't like how I feel for whatever reason, I'm just letting them go.
totally agree!!!
No way are you an imposter! Documenting your struggles proves it. Clothing and shoes are my nemesis so I relate. I felt you had reduced your clothing a lot since your last vlog and are much clearer about likes and wants. Have you ever watched Kim Bedene on youtube? Although she has a different style, she has some great tips. One tip is to identify all the clothing for a particular season and purpose e.g. sportswear, around town clothes, formal wear. Assess how much of your time you will be wearing those clothes and how often you can launder them. If you wear something everyday and it will need to be washed after each time, you will need many more items than for an occasional formal occasion. I'm going to try to remember your great tip that it is better to have one day when you have the wrong shoes for the occasion than to keep an extra pair of shoes just for that one day. Definitely dye the yellow dress.
hitting all the points!!! thank you for this 💗
If you use the orange top more as a sports bra, could you keep it with your others and see how often it gets used? I've found I use those "t-shirts that I would only really use for working out" much more now that they're kept with my two other "official" workout tops!
I found your channel because of your wardrobe videos!
omg full circle!! sorry I've neglected them so long LOL
@@gracenevitt lol that fine I love all your vids!
You could dye that orange top with that yellow dress. And I'd love to have One direction shirt collection of yours 💞
maybe I could try dying that shirt.... bot sure what color it will come out, but we shall see. and yes, I'm very proud of my little one direction shirt collection 💗
I actually like the yellow dress on you
It's a sweet video ❤
Did you do project 333?
I love that yellow dress! I would say it doesn't wash you out but it also doesn't compliment you. I think dyeing it green like you want would look good! Also I had to laugh when you kept saying you don't wear dark wash jeans because to me those were medium wash not dark!
that just proves how much of a light wash girlie I am !!! LOL
You could always bleach the dark wash jeans! I did that to a pair years ago and they're my favorite jeans to this day
does it turn them to like light wash??
@@gracenevitt it did for mine! But they were 100% cotton, which makes a difference. Also, you have to make sure you stir them around every so often so they don't get weird crease marks
@bethany5 honestly.... maybe I'll try it! if it turns out a little poorly then I can just donate them or something
In NZ you'll need a pair of Jandals (which you have) maybe a pair of gumboots (which you have) one pair of nice shoes (don't really need different winter and summer ones depending on where in NZ you are) and then running shoes for running. I am a born and bred kiwi, I don't even actually wear shoes on a daily basis.... I keep a pair of jandals in my car just in case...
Oh and the cowboy boots are a huge vibe and obviously bring you joy!
Depending on how often you wear your uggs it might be time to declutter those? Everything else makes sense to hold on to until you find something better (for shoes)
the thing is, I do wear them at least once or twice a week... they just look nasty as hell 😂 I could probably just wear my blundstones instead though. very excited to get rid of a few pairs of shoes in my next wardrobe video once I've narrowed down my "wardrobe situation"
@@gracenevitt Honestly I'm so nosy I can't wait to figure out your new wardrobe situation
As someone with adhd I’d rather start basic training for the military than start organizing my clothes rn. It’s PAINFUL.
LMAOOOOO so real. I procrastinated filming this for wayy too long LOL
It was so fun to see your clothes and think: I've seen Grace wear that! I agree with the fact that the yellow dress washes you out a bit, but I also want to ask if you care? If you enjoy the dress, even wearing something 'suboptimal' fashionwise there's no reason not to wear it. So I guess the question is: how do you feel wearing the dress?
Btw I love the plum/burgundy/aubergine colour on you!
hehe thank you!! and yeah I mean I want to feel good in my clothes and if something makes me look a little washed out, I tend to sometimes think about that fact when wearing it. when I feel super confident and good in clothes, I don't really think about them, and that's the ideal place I wanna be in I think!
@@gracenevitt Makes a lot of sense! I feel the same. I hope dyeing helps!
Where is the baby blue corduroy jacket from?
I don't have a baby blue corduroy jacket but if you're talking about the cropped sweatshirt, it's from Lake Sunapee in New Hampshire
@@gracenevitt i mean that blue cropped puffer jacket it looked like corduroy idk 🙉
@rosewinterbabe OH yes, sorry!! the puffer jacket is actually gray but it's from everlane!!
You should figure out what your color season analysis thing is
I thinkkkkk I'm a soft autumn...
@@gracenevitt I think so too. And that’s why the yellow one is almost right but not quite right
Yes, dye the dress green. You’re right, the yellow washes out your pale skin tone. Green would look gorgeous on you.
4:43 I like the pastel yellow colour on you, but then again I seem to like a lot of things that others don’t, so… 🤷🏼♀️ I think it looks pretty.
I definitely don't think it looks horrific or anything but it definitely doesn't make me glow, you know? if I changed it to green, I think it would suit me a lot better :)
Your fancy skirt, try it with your orange tank top. Seriously just try it.
I feel like it would be too much going on... the white piping on the orange tank top with the blue skirt and navy blue flowers... idk !! I told you I'm not a daring color person!! I don't have the confidence to mix colors very much sadly...
god minimilaism is so painful to me but i did watch this whole video lmfao
lmao it's definitely not for everyone! but minimalism doesn't always have to be painful. just depends on your situation in life. for me it's been very freeing to own less stuff (and I basically just decluttered the shit I wasn't actually using). my apartment feels less like a storage container and more like a place where I can get things done and focus on other things.
I feel the same about my long sleeves but it's so hard to part with them because when I worked retail and had no dress code other than "appropriate" i wore them all the time. Now that i work from home I haven't touched them but WHAT IF I have to work in the outside world again and I regret decluttering??? And have to spend money to replace them??? I also worry about decluttered stuff just going to landfill especially stuff thats a little worn out. I'm like, if I get rid of it it'll just go to the trash so I should just keep it till it's literally rags but then I don't wear it ever so it'll never get more worn out and and and...fully get the existential crisis everytime I try to declutter my clothes
You could wear them as pajamas?
🫶
I actually liked the video lol
But it would be even better if it was a try-on :) S
perhaps I can do that in my next video!
I made it to 1:39. I’m getting better every time. Cheer me on ? Thanx.
And also: get rid of the shoes! Keep only the hell yes and the very important ones (like hiking)
sooo true... I will definitely be decluttering a handful of them in my next wardrobe video.
😂😂😂
what if minimalism is just anxiety grasping for control
sometimes decluttering can be that, but I do genuinely feel better owning less
Hi Grace, when watching your video, I remembered you saying that "not we are serving the challenge, but the challenge is supposed to be serving us." So why don't you give yourself a reasonable clothing budget and buy what you are missing? You seem so unhappy in the video, so I think this would be absolutely alright. ❤
this is so sweet!! I'm not spending money on clothes because I know this is my consumerist side fighting its way out😭😂 if push comes to shove, I can absolutely buy something necessary, but the reality is, I have all the clothes I actually need.
Thoroughly entertained. We will just watch you rant about whatever. 🤍
I’m currently struggling with my clothes too, I don’t think I have THAT many pieces of clothing but I’m a little overwhelmed because I know what I wear and don’t wear but I can’t seem to part with anything it’s been months and I don’t know when it’s going to all come into place in my head. I’m just overwhelmed and frustrated and I keep saying ‘oh take a break don’t think about it for a while’ and I DO but I am never actually able to make any progress. UGH!
Btw if it helps, I didn’t find this video wasn’t useless at all I love watching people going trough their clothes and their thought process. :)
honestly one of my earlier minimalism videos might help!! it breaks it up a bit more and helps you ask yourself some guiding questions: ua-cam.com/video/-3puJVUjoYU/v-deo.html hope it helps 💗
@@gracenevitt thank you i will for sure check it out again 💗
