I need more clothes. Shed some. Grow. Add key pieces that will live past a trend. Watching her videos help create these looks I am playing with in my head.
At 74 and retired I now spend quite a few days at home. Having always loved fashion I still style my hair, put on a bit of make-up and jewellery and dress stylishly, but comfortably. I then feel ready for my day. Love your look...beautiful hair and makeup.
I justified so much of my 2023 shopping because I bought it on Poshmark (I rarely buy anything new, just new to me). But even though I was shopping secondhand and getting really great deals, I wound up with a literal PILE of things that didn't quite work on me and couldn't be returned. Shopping in person is going to be key for me in 2024.
Totally agree with you, I did the same with eBay and got a lot of clothes that just weren't "me". Have been shopping in person this year and have been much happier!
Christina, you are singing my song! I've shopped in thrift stores for decades. Now that I have money, and can afford to splurge, I have tried shopping retail. But I have been ruined by my years of thrifting! Retail is so ridiculously expensive it stresses me out, and the quality, even of 'designer' items, has been very disappointing. Often I end up preferring and wearing the thrifted stuff, because I have shopped according to my own style instead of the merchandiser's. I also prefer the layout of thrift stores, where clothes are sorted by item, size and even colour. It's easy to spot a find once you've developed your eye for good material.
Getting dressed everyday is one of those tips that I just can't bring myself to do xD I don't know if it's just my family and how I personally grew up or my culture in general, but we have "at home" clothes and "outside of home" clothes. I generally can't bring myself to wear my "outside of home" clothes at home. I did try it during the quarantines when working from home but it didn't feel good. As soon as I come home from work or whatever, I change. The only time I wear my "outside of home" clothes at home is if I have guests.
I find this too - but for example you can incorporate a couple of pants that feel like sweats, leggings or track pants but feel more elevated, or throw on a button up with at home bottoms etc. it’s what I do to get use out of my clothes, but still feel a *touch* more chic!
Same in my family - "at home" clothes and "outside of home" clothes. 😅 I've been wrestling with this since I started working from home a few years ago. I feel unprofessional in what I wear at home, but at the same time it feels like "a waste" wearing my "good clothes" at home. 🙄
Your tip to get dressed everyday is one I am going to implement right away. I love clothes but work from home. It hasn’t felt worth the effort to dress in anything other than workout wear. BUT I am worth making the effort for. Long time follower. Love your content!
Thrifting can be so helpful for experimenting with new colors and silhouettes without much investment, and tailoring thrifted pieces can elevate the opportunities so much too
For me, my big wardrobe expenses in 2024 will be getting shoes reheeled/resoled and some of my late mom's beautiful rings resized so I can comfortably wear them. It won't be a cheap endeavour but taking care of what we already own matters so much.
I had a expensive turtleneck jumper. The turtleneck was a bit too tight, I had the neck part removed (made it into a head piece) and now I wear the jumper as a crew. It was the best money I spent. Thanks Christina x
Watching your videos has helped me declutter a TON of unnecessary things from my closet & my home. I realized several months ago that I had a shopping addiction, and started looking for ways to overcome that on UA-cam. I started journaling and keeping track of all my spending in addition to decluttering a little at a time. Since Thanksgiving, I have taken three garbage bags full of clothing and accessories from my home and donated an entire suitcase full of clothing to some of my students who were in need. I have since moved on to decluttering every closet, room, and cabinet in my house. It is relieving so much anxiety because I no longer have to worry about all of this stuff and can focus more on experiences to have with my family in the future. Thank you and happy new year! 2024 is going to be amazing .
My first thing I did this year was to declutter and get rid of the things that didn't fit. My second thing to do was to go shopping and buy two pairs of pants that did. My third thing was to buy one pair of comfy shoes to replace the 8 uncomfy ones I also put in the give away pile.
Maybe it's old fashioned, but my mother (an excellent seamstress) taught me how to hem pants which saved tons of $ in tailoring. I still hate sewing but somehow love to hem pants that are too long. It's simple and empowering. Love your videos and advice.
I grew up with Mr. Dress-Up and we all wanted Tickle Trunks. He was a kind, amazing person. You’ve inspired me to get in my closet and with -30C temps coming my way it’s a great use of time. Happy New Year 🎉
This video showed up in my recommendations at just the right time. Last year I went into debt buying clothes. I definitely need to learn to be more creative with what I have. Right now, I hate my hair. Next week I'm getting a haircut. For me, my hair and makeup make a statement and my clothes are pretty basic. I use accessories to add interest. When I don't like my hair or my makeup, I feel like I've lost my MOJO and I don't feel like getting dressed.
What perfect timing Christina! It's a rainy day here and I've got the house to myself so a wardrobe declutter is in order. I'm 100% on board with buying second hand/thrifting. I enjoy it and get incredible quality items at great prices and it's good for our planet. You have the cutes profile :) Keep the videos coming.
I retired a couple of years ago and worked from home for 2 years before that. I never fell into the sweatpant/loungewear habit, but I did find myself wearing leggings 90% of the time in the winter. Recently it has been fun to try to elevate those with riding boots, silk shirts, longer sweaters and cardigans - like you said - working with what you have. It is true - it is better than accumulating more things.
In 2024 I am really trying to focus on trying out new outfits by shopping my closet. Your channel and a few others have inspired this and so far it is going great. I even realized one of my favorite recent outfits was almost identical to an outfit I pinned on Pinterest a couple years ago. I got so many compliments! I did buy a new pair of Chelsea boots to replace a favorite pair and update the style a bit but I am loving this fresh take on style.
Get dressed every day. I learned this as a freelance court reporter in the '80s and '90s. If I stayed home and tried to work on my transcripts in casual clothes, I treated it, and everyone else in the house treated it like I wasn't at work. But if I "dressed up" to "go to work" in my corner-of-the-dining-room office, I expected myself to work, and so did everyone else. These days on the weekends I get dressed to go to the coffee shop and write a couple of hours every weekend day. Sometimes I dress *better* to go to the coffee shop than I do to go to work. I work at a community college, where the norm is jeans and tee-shirts, a lot of times -- "golf wear." I try not to let myself do that, though. Get a lot of compliments on my style, especially from the younger crowd, students and staff alike.
I was really wanting to buy a new silver ring, but in the past few days, I had decided to take three things to the jewellery repair shop to see if I could get them fixed. All three are really important to me, so as you say, better money spent. Thanks for the ✅
So sweet, Mr. DressUp influenced my love of playing in my wardrobe and costumes. Was actually my favourite show (even more than Sesame Street!!!) For me, playing in my clothes is a creative act like writing a post, singing, making a meal.
Love your hair rather , lip and nail colour. Love so the jewellery layering. Great tips. Thank you . I am building work outfits from my wardrobe and you do need to set aside time but we’ll worth it. Also looking pig forward to your podcast sustainnthis.
January is the month I actually go through my wish list and replace and get things I’ve been needing or wanting but Can’t afford. I am good at going on no buy after February. But I totally agree, I try as much as I can to use My own clothes and play around with them.
Yes to bright nails in the winter! 💅 😂 Currently rocking a light green, myself. I’m trying to get better at wearing my more high maintenance clothing. These are clothes that I am too afraid to ruin if I wear them too frequently and also afraid to take to the dry cleaners.
You look incredible in this video! Will you consider sharing what makeup you are wearing or putting together a video of your favorites?! I need to purchase something that gives your glow!!♥️
I find that looking your best is as much about doing your hair and makeup as it is about nice clothes! Jeans and a t-shirt looks great with pretty makeup and well groomed hair and some accessories like sunglasses and earrings. When my hair is a mess, nothing I wear looks great! You look beautiful in this video, yet your top is simple. Your hair, makeup and jewelry just make you look outstanding. Perhaps the power of makeup and hair could be an upcoming video idea.
Great ideas. In 2023 I only allowed 12 new items max. I enjoyed shopping my closet and decluttering and phasing out items along the way. I plan to carry that through 2024. I also grade my outfits. Like when I grab something to wear to work, do I love it? Is it meh? Do I want to wear it again? How could I style each piece differently?
Last year was the year I’ve improved my style the most. Here are my learnings: - learn doing your hair (check out the blowout professor), nails and makeup, all minimal and classy - accessories elevate your outfit, its like the salt and pepper of style - find some nice fragrances - don’t take “rules” too seriously. It might help you in the beginning but they are just loose guidelines and also subjective - quality > quantity (and it is impossible to find quality nowadays) - learn how to thrift on vinted
Thanks for the video! I'm working on a no-buy year (no clothes, naildecor stuff, makeup, shoes, books) ive never realized the amount of things i own and don't use, till i became aware through your videos 💕
Yes yes yes just the video I wanted. Thank you. One of the biggest tips has been to get dress every day. I’m a fitness professional who lives in athletic wear every day. When I get home I immediately go to pjs….. but now I’m trying to still get dressed to lounge so I feel good in my body and not instantly frumpy and ready for bed.
I also work from home now (new for me) and thanks to you and some other UA-cam creators I am figuring out ways to mix my "corporate wear" like blazers and trousers with more casual pieces -- I spent a lot of money per item on my dressy work clothes, I want to use them. Some of my favorite clothes are thrifted (like my cashmere coat), although it takes patience and I am petite which often makes it easier to thrift vintage. I've also put a month-long ban in place on wearing and re-wearing "favorite" pants and sweaters so I have to try something else in my closet!
I keep decluttering my wardrobe to make sure I don't keep items that don't serve me ! I thrifted 5 pieces of minimal clothing that can fit with almost everything in my closet ! I'm very happy with what I got and all the possibilities that they offer me ! I'm still having issue styling some pieces in my wardrobe that are very specific, but working on it !! I'm so happy I found your channel !
My big goal this year is to buy second hand. Especially when travelling. I bought my first secondhand item december 2023 all inspo from you and your Musketeer friends. Love how they can fill gaps in your closet that is hard to find in regular stores! You look amazing and are a true inspiration ❤️
Great video. I'm definitely on a no buy for January but like you, I have gotten a few things tailored. I'm really struggling to let go of my work clothes that no longer fit me or even suit my life now that I'm retired. Yesterday, I actually decluttered a bunch of pants that even if I lose weight, would not fit me again unless I became an unhealthy weight. I grew up with nothing so this is a big struggle for me.
I love the idea of using what you have! A couple of years ago, coming out of the pandemic I knew my closet needed a good clear out but didn’t know where to start it was such a mammoth project. I hired a colour analysis professional to come and analyse my skin tone and we discussed style and what I wanted to wear going forward. It was amazing to have “permission” to get rid of clothes which I wasn’t wearing (because they weren’t my style anymore or not a good colour). I was left with a wonderful capsule wardrobe with only a couple of holes that I needed to fill to not run out of clothes mid week.
Happy New Year! My goal this year is low buy and more styling what I have, as I've built a pretty good wardrobe of basics and my favourite classic pieces and done a few clear outs. Now I want to really hone in on my personal style which is 90s, neutral and casual. Also love that this is 11:11 long ✨ xx
My journey this year starts with my purchase of a full-length mirror in the morning. It's been a few years since I've looked at myself fully in such a mirror because I got into the habit of ordering online. Right now I'm removing what I know must go, but your mentioning having items tailored will help me see the positive in a number of items I will have left. Thank you.
😂 I loved Mr. Dress up as a kid!!! I always wanted to see inside Casey’s treehouse because they didn’t show it all the time so I would watch for indoor treehouse views 😂
It Is a brilliant video! I watched it twice. What a wonderful idea to treasure what you already got organise them and enjoy using them. How easy to just tick the box and pay to get new ones - only if you got loads of money, massive wardrobe and not tired of overwhelmed by tons of stuff.
Hi! My new resolution is to take a second look at the quality of whatever I'm buying and become a bit pickier, because it pisses me off when I spend money on something only for it to be ruined or in bad shape in just a year or two, especially clothes!
Hello, I know you have made one before but would you consider doing another winter wardrobe styling video? Winter has finally arrived here in Saskatchewan and I’d like some ideas of what to wear in minus 21 weather again. This is my most difficult season to dress for without feeling bulky and boring. Thanks
Great video, and your hair looks fab - happy new year! I have a 'secondhand first' rule, and also a one in one out rule, which realises focuses the mind when deciding if you really want something (knowing that you would have to let something else go). I also have a maximum number (for me it's 55) which helps things stay under control Brilliant tips, thanks Christina.
Great list! Loved your workout session b-roll footage too. Video request: how to thrift safely in the age of bedbugs (and other parasites). I have been an avid thrifter for so long, but the risk of bugs has really made me skittish. I know I am not alone in this!
I discovered on Friday, when I reached for my beloved black double-breasted oversized camel hair blazer, that a hole is developing in the left elbow! Oh no! I hopped onto UA-cam over the weekend, found an interesting video about how to embroider holes and make them into artwork, ordered some black cashmere yarn, so next weekend I'm going to be going back to that video and learning how to embroider the hole so it looks intentionally and invisibly fabulous. Otherwise the blazer is in perfect condition, I love it, it fits me great, and I don't want to let it go. I thought about a black suede set of elbow patches, but no, I think I'll give the black-on-black embroidery idea a shot first. Maybe I'll embroider both elbows, just for balance; maybe not! I'm not sure why, but I seem to be really rough on my left elbow.
Great video! I think I want to implement dressing according to my measurements ( that’s a big one.. as my sizing differs per season, exercise routines, and new menopausal symptoms im experiencing in my 40’s, sizing is always a triggering thing for me as I have always struggled with) and shopping more in person than online such as thrifting. Do you have any tips for thrifting in the suburbs? I live 30 minutes away from from most trendy Montreal thrift stores)
HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎊 let me know some style habits you’re implementing in 2024!
"We don't need more clothes. We need more ideas"
Yep!
💯
I need more clothes. Shed some. Grow. Add key pieces that will live past a trend. Watching her videos help create these looks I am playing with in my head.

I love your style of minimalist with much class and simplicity. 💖 Thank you for sharing!
Mr. Dressup was always wise in so many ways!! Another great video! I have been binge watching your content lately. 💜
The BESTTTTT
Yes to everything in this video!! Fellow Canadian here, and your nod to Mr Dressup was the best!!! ❤
Christina is blooming! voice is so smooth, makeup is amazing and vibes are so soothing
Im refining my jean collection. Old Navy and Levi's fit me the best. When jeans fit and feel good you can wear almost any top(s) with them.

Your lip color and nail color! Chef’s kisses
Love the blush color on you too!
I have been watching you for at least six months. The shade of red on your nails and lips looks beautiful. This is your color! You look amazing.
Mr. Dressup was the best! Thanks from Alberta!
☮️💖🙏
I love the tailoring tip for items already in your closet. Great advice 👍
Wooo! Mr. Dress up! Love that approach to use your imagination!

Yes! Working from home here and kept getting dressed even in 2020. It creates a delineation between work and play time 😊
Love the dress up idea without additional external inspiration ❤
I was really wanting to buy a new silver ring, but in the past few days, I had decided to take three things to the jewellery repair shop to see if I could get them fixed. All three are really important to me, so as you say, better money spent. Thanks for the ✅
Loving your nails! I’ve been wearing neutral nails for so long- I’m going to experiment and have some fun with red!
So sweet, Mr. DressUp influenced my love of playing in my wardrobe and costumes. Was actually my favourite show (even more than Sesame Street!!!) For me, playing in my clothes is a creative act like writing a post, singing, making a meal.
HNY!!! Love Mr Dressup, Casey and Finnegan:) I have been living in the States for the past 25 years and no one can relate. Love your channel, too.

Loved this video! You have been crushing it with all your recent videos, Christina!
Yes to bright nails in the winter! 💅 😂 Currently rocking a light green, myself.

YESSSS - shop more in person!!! I agree 100%
Thanks for the ideas! What I'd like to know is how you have such a flawless skin?
I've had a pair of good pants in a too soft color. Dyed them dark blue and they are perfect to wear again.
I love this tip. I hate wearing white as it washes me out so I dye nice thrifted white tops often and wear them a lot more.
I also work from home now (new for me) and thanks to you and some other UA-cam creators I am figuring out ways to mix my "corporate wear" like blazers and trousers with more casual pieces -- I spent a lot of money per item on my dressy work clothes, I want to use them.

Great video. I'm definitely on a no buy for January but like you, I have gotten a few things tailored. I'm really struggling to let go of my work clothes that no longer fit me or even suit my life now that I'm retired. Yesterday, I actually decluttered a bunch of pants that even if I lose weight, would not fit me again unless I became an unhealthy weight. I grew up with nothing so this is a big struggle for me.
I love the idea of using what you have! A couple of years ago, coming out of the pandemic I knew my closet needed a good clear out but didn’t know where to start it was such a mammoth project. I hired a colour analysis professional to come and analyse my skin tone and we discussed style and what I wanted to wear going forward.

I was left with a wonderful capsule wardrobe with only a couple of holes that I needed to fill to not run out of clothes mid week.
Definitely decluttering carefully and redefining what I actually love
Happy New Year! My goal this year is low buy and more styling what I have, as I've built a pretty good wardrobe of basics and my favourite classic pieces and done a few clear outs.

It's been a few years since I've looked at myself fully in such a mirror because I got into the habit of ordering online. Right now I'm removing what I know must go, but your mentioning having items tailored will help me see the positive in a number of items I will have left. Thank you.
Thanks for this video! Think many of us needed to hear this! Love ideas were it doesnt have to cost money or bring home more clutter. 👍🏻
I don't recall Mr. Dressup decluttering his Tickle Trunk but it would have been a good lesson for us!
hahaha!
😂 I loved Mr. Dress up as a kid!!! I always wanted to see inside Casey’s treehouse because they didn’t show it all the time so I would watch for indoor treehouse views 😂
It Is a brilliant video! I watched it twice. What a wonderful idea to treasure what you already got organise them and enjoy using them. How easy to just tick the box and pay to get new ones - only if you got loads of money, massive wardrobe and not tired of overwhelmed by tons of stuff.
Love this video.❤ thankyou so much for sharing
Love this cohesive makeup on you!😍
I’m on day 40 of no buy ❤ Love these types of videos rather than influencers showing their latest hauls!
Your hair looks great at that length!
Hi! My new resolution is to take a second look at the quality of whatever I'm buying and become a bit pickier, because it pisses me off when I spend money on something only for it to be ruined or in bad shape in just a year or two, especially clothes!
Happy New Year I took gour advice thank u for sharing 😊
As usual, this video is great! Love your approach about style💖
The white T-shirt from thumbnail, i need it !!
I agree about tailoring but I live in a small town with no tailoring resources.
Hello, I know you have made one before but would you consider doing another winter wardrobe styling video? Winter has finally arrived here in Saskatchewan and I’d like some ideas of what to wear in minus 21 weather again. This is my most difficult season to dress for without feeling bulky and boring. Thanks
Yes! It’s on my filming list for this month!

Great video, and your hair looks fab - happy new year! I have a 'secondhand first' rule, and also a one in one out rule, which realises focuses the mind when deciding if you really want something (knowing that you would have to let something else go). I also have a maximum number (for me it's 55) which helps things stay under control Brilliant tips, thanks Christina.
1. I learned to sew a few years ago -- it's so useful! 2. Andrea's fashion galaxy is a great chanel for creativ fashion!
You are sooo beautiful.the video is great. Please make some idek about how to recreate Pinterest outfits
Hair looks great 🎉
Great info! Glad to see you back!
Great reminder! Thank you
Great list! Loved your workout session b-roll footage too. Video request: how to thrift safely in the age of bedbugs (and other parasites). I have been an avid thrifter for so long, but the risk of bugs has really made me skittish. I know I am not alone in this!
Love your videos....also I love your inspo pictures...do you have a Pinterest where we can follow your inspo?
I discovered on Friday, when I reached for my beloved black double-breasted oversized camel hair blazer, that a hole is developing in the left elbow! Oh no! I hopped onto UA-cam over the weekend, found an interesting video about how to embroider holes and make them into artwork, ordered some black cashmere yarn, so next weekend I'm going to be going back to that video and learning how to embroider the hole so it looks intentionally and invisibly fabulous. Otherwise the blazer is in perfect condition, I love it, it fits me great, and I don't want to let it go. I thought about a black suede set of elbow patches, but no, I think I'll give the black-on-black embroidery idea a shot first. Maybe I'll embroider both elbows, just for balance; maybe not! I'm not sure why, but I seem to be really rough on my left elbow.
Dark brown really suits you 👍 Happy new year 🎉
Great video as always 😊
I’m so obsessed w Shayna!!!
She is literally the coolest
I love the neckline on your top! Where is it from? :)
Great video!
im so glad i found your channel by chance with your jewellery tour! happy new year and thank you for your advices
Hey Neighbour! Glad I found a fellow Torontonian here. Favourite thrift shops in the area? xo from Leaside
Love your hair ❤
Great video!
I think I want to implement dressing according to my measurements ( that’s a big one.. as my sizing differs per season, exercise routines, and new menopausal symptoms im experiencing in my 40’s, sizing is always a triggering thing for me as I have always struggled with) and shopping more in person than online such as thrifting.
Do you have any tips for thrifting in the suburbs? I live 30 minutes away from from most trendy Montreal thrift stores)
Happy new year! I love your videos :) I was wondering if you have any recommendations of where to buy basics such and nice white tee shirts? Thanks!
