    Time to curate your wardrobe; all that stuff is overwhelming and think how much stuff you have to manage. I purge or sold a lot of stuff, and is so liberating.

      Yes I will have to at some point. First step to recovery is to recognize you have a problem. Then stop. Then purge lol

    Lipsticks are my no buy for this year 🙅🏻‍♀️ and up to now, none purchased. I swatched all I had and the majority are so similar in shade it’s laughable. I did a type of #projectpan with perfume and now I only buy 2 regularly (a summer and a winter signature one which are only replaced when empty) but allow myself a 10ml new one for each of those seasons too. Bags are a low buy too. It’s hard!

    Thanks for sharing this list I agree with most of it. I am also guilty of buying too many coats. Mostly the north face. I live in Ohio so it’s justified. I will wear a coat before I use a handbag. I actually do wear all of the coats. I have 20 plus coats all for different seasons.
    I’m not allowed to buy anymore clothes (business casual). I work in a hospital. I wear scrubs every day. I don’t socialize so buying clothes for me is pointless.

    • @Somehowadulting
      @Somehowadulting  3 місяці тому

      💯 coats are a necessity when you live in the cold ass winter. I tried north face, mackage, Patagonia. Nothing is as warm as a Canada goose when walking around bone chilling wind in downtown Chicago. Now I'm in Nashville. Not sure what to do with my coats lol
      Yes I have so many suits too. But now I just wear a stretch black dress and throw a blazer over. Lazy girl business casual lol

    Ha, it's like you read my mind! Every single one of these is something I've told myself, enough is enough! Hoping second part of 2024 is a low-buy for real. Plus bags .... no more bags so I can save up for the one I actually want!

    I've had to limit myself on some of these things too. For awhile I was tempted by wanting to "stock up" when there are sales, but then I just end up with way too many things I forget about or don't use quickly. Reading Marie Kondo's book helped me a bit with that and just replenishing when I need to.

    • @Somehowadulting

    It was shocking to hear you have 50 coats. I'm in agreement with you about the categories not to spend more money on. I just ordered a wool cashmere coat from Cuyana, but I live in Toronto, not California now, and I'm starting from a base of 5, not 50, and 3 of the 5 don't fit me anymore because they're from 8-15 years ago, and I'm keeping them around just in case I lose weight and fit back into them in the future.
    Though I have a smaller stash of lipsticks and skincare, I'm also planning to work through them before my next shopping spree with Sephora. I will need sunscreen before any other products in skincare, and I'm debating from time to time whether I should try an untinted one that can go anywhere or another tinted sunscreen. Right now I'm using ILIA's foundation with SPF, niacinamide, and HA most often, and I also have Tula tinted sunscreen that's easier to squeeze on my face and spread.
    The one thing I have more than you is perfumes, because I keep mine in shade and in their cardboard boxes and find that the scents do still appeal to me over a longer period of time whether or not they're exactly the same as when opened for the first time. I've had some Guerlain, Chanel, Hermes fragrances for many a year and still really enjoy the scent. It's the cheapies like Dossier that morph more with time. Nevertheless, I will be the first one to say I don't need any more perfume, because most days I neglect to wear any perfume. I will spritz them on when celebrating it getting myself into a mood.
    It's a lot of money saved whenever you're doing a no-buy in any category, money you could invest in an actual investment.

    • @Somehowadulting
      @Somehowadulting  3 місяці тому +1

      To be fair. I did live in Chicago for 18 years. I have about 4 true winter coats including the 3 Canada goose jackets. The rest are more fall/spring coats. I might have exaggerated. If I really count it's probably around 30. Now that I live in Nashville I won't need the winter coats much anymore. My first Canada goose I've worn to death for almost 8 years?
      Yea skin care I buy directly from Korea. I don't shop Sephora. So over priced. Check out my skincare video. The one thing I don't really spend money is make up..I don't own eye shadow or eyeliner etc. 80% of the time I don't wear make up but I do glob on sunscreen like it's my job.
      Glad this video reasonated with you. I'm calling myself out 😂 yes. I make sure traditional investments such as retirement and real estate are all set before I blow money on other things.

    • @JHT99
      @JHT99 3 місяці тому

      @@Somehowadulting I guess I've never bought skincare products from Korea directly, I've tried a couple Korean products from Costco but didn't find them effective. To be honest, I've only started caring for my skin this year after I discovered a dark spot and after watching a bunch of Dr. Idriss videos I always read the ingredients list before I buy anything. I can't imagine understanding what ingredients are in the product if I'm buying directly from Korea.
      I also don't really wear makeup. Not a morning person and don't care to spend a lot of time putting product on my face. I use a tinted sunscreen for foundation, and that's pretty much it. Lipstick or lip gloss is the fastest way to put a little something on and look like I made at least some minimal elder. I would do eye makeup more if my eyes weren't so sensitive. Even with mineral makeup and specially formulated eye creams, I tear up after applying SPF.
