    My biggest problem is that I do many things and you can't wear your going to town stuff camping. The ski weardrobe does not work for a walk in the Winter. I do pack away clothes and pull out other ones about 4 times a year as I live where we really have 4 seasons.

      @@amikrenzel5788 it can be difficult when you need certain clothes for different activities. My best advice would be to have a small camping wardrobe that maybe you don’t need to have stored in your day-to-day wardrobe. And maybe have a small going out capsule to keep that separate from day to day too. Depending on your style, you might find some day to day pieces like blazers, jeans, trousers etc pair well with your going out pieces so you get more out of them.

    Hi, thank you for sharing your experience! I'm doing a no buy month to stop emotional shopping and also to enjoy what I have, because there are pieces I love, but rarely wear (so kind of similar to you). Been going through a rather traumatic period in my life atm and shopping got out of control. During the ni buy month I shopped 2x already. First time was something I actually really needed and it was a great deal (secondhand) and the second was a pick me up (also Vinted, so can't return). And I feel bad about that, for failing. But looking at it as a learning experience instead, because I recognise the emotions I had at the time, actually really helps. Hopefully next time I'll be able to recognise that this need to buy is coming from an emotional state and probably not a good idea to go for it. Thanks for sharing ❤

    • @gemmaamclean
      @gemmaamclean 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I hope you’re keeping well. Best of luck with your no-buy! It’s hard not to feel bad when we “break” our streak and buy something but at the end of the day we’re all human and at least we’re trying on the first place. And like you said, you learn from it and recognise the pattern next time xxx

    Such a great video and I really truly appreciate you talking us through it! I think the most important part of figuring out our style is taking time to analyze. This should take more time than shopping because once you analyze and pin down exactly what you like and wear, you know exactly what to look for when you’re shopping and you don’t have to browse through everything. Right now as I watch your video, I am going through all of my summer wardrobe and taking out the pieces I did not wear or only wore once and didn’t feel great in. Packing away only the pieces that I actually wore. I am working on pairing down my wardrobe because I still have quite an excess so I am also not buying anything with the exception of gaps or worn out pieces. My third baby is now 10 months and I noticed that my style changed quite a bit after having her, especially since my youngest before her is 6… I was able to start wearing nicer pieces again. But I have analyzed is that I have become more active! My change of lifestyle was no longer accommodating wearing my nicer, slightly more restrictive clothing, so I have been making changes in that regard as well.

    After a year of more shopping than usual - modern classics and footwear I needed, nothing silly - I have absolutely no regrets but I am facing a big upheaval in my life that will cost quite a lot. So there will be leaner years ahead when I will enjoy wearing and styling and loving what I already have, and do no shopping (or very low shopping).

      I do the same thing. Since renovating a house, I cut my budget in half (at least temporarily), i. e. 600€ a year now from 1200€ before. It has worked out well so far. Over the years, since working on my shopping habits, I want less and less. Not to say, that I don't shop at all! I still buy a fair amount of clothing. But the restrictions I give myself really narrow it down in quantity and also what I buy (e. g. buying second hand vs new).

    ❤thank you. Just discovered your channel. I started my no buy year in January 2024. I created a few rules and boundaries. It’s been a huge eye opener. And 7 months later, I am happier, richer, and my wardrobe is organized and filled with clothes that define my style and aesthetic. The biggest eye opener is how consumerism is harmful to our planet. 🌎 For example, the amount of water used to make and dye jeans and other garments is not sustainable. Planning on shopping only second hand in 2025. Fortunate that I live in a town that has numerous second hand stores even with luxury brands. I found happiness in wearing my clothing, styling my outfits, curating a look & wearing items often versus feeling like I need something new for every occasion. Looking forward to checking out more of your channel. 😊

      Well done on your no buy year! That’s amazing! One of my first shopping “challenges” was a year of only buying second hand and it was a really great year. I love second hand shopping now. I must say I do need to remind myself often about the harm that new clothing does to our planet because I go through phases of buying new too. Best of luck with the rest of your no-buy. You’re doing so well!! ♥️

    Thank you for being honest and realistic. The internet loves extreme gestures and challenges, but in reality, having a thoughtful approach and making small progress gets results.

      Thank you lovely! I’m glad you resonated with this, as sometimes it does feel more like I’ve “failed” but real failure is never trying in the first place. Small changes make a big difference ♥️

    Hi Gemma, thank you for this video and for raising awareness about mindful shopping. In 2023, I tracked my spending on clothing, shoes, bags, jewelry, and other similar items. For 2024, I’ve decided to designate certain months as 'no-buy' periods, and even when I do spend, I’ll be keeping my budget much lower than in 2023. I’ve also focused on buying items I truly love and can wear frequently, even if they’re on the pricier side. While I’m not perfect, I’m happy to have spent significantly less so far this year, and I’ve developed the habit of really considering my purchases before finalizing them.☺

      I'm doing the same and it works perfectly for me. In 2023 I had 5 no-buy months, bought 14 items less than in 2022, and spent less overall. In 2024 I plan to have 6 no-buy months.

      I love the idea of certain no-buy months. It helps break up the habit a bit. They sound like great goals for your new purchases. Nobody’s perfect lovely! You’re doing so well!! ♥️

    A amount of money seems the most freeing. I like to shop fall so I would lob a bit back for then to pad that time.

    • @gemmaamclean
      @gemmaamclean 23 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Whatever works best for you! The amount of money helped me too before, because even if I was buying more items than I necessarily needed I felt better about not going over my budget. Xx

    10:14 I’m not getting on well: I keep wanting to shop, I love shopping. I constantly think I don’t shop that much but realistically it’s really a lot.

    • @gemmaamclean
      @gemmaamclean 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It’s so easy to downplay how much we shop. I’ve done it too! What are your reasons for wanting to shop and thinking about shopping? Is it to add some newness and creativity to your style, is it because you don’t think the clothes you have are good enough, is it because we’re so bombarded with ads all the time that you get caught up in them? Maybe something else? Maybe knowing the root urge to shop might help you figure out if sometimes you could find an alternative. For example, if you’re bored with your clothes and think they’re all a bit boring, could you try on some new combinations and recreate outfits that you’ve liked on other people? It might feel creative and fun. Xx
