    I'd add good quality mid-range and even luxury handbags to your list. My local consignment shops are filled with 2nd hand synthetic trendy clothes but have a surprisingly good selection of high quality mid-range and luxury bags which are 25 to 50% of the cost of buying new. Just look at the piece - check carefully as you would anything else to make sure the leather, hardware and lining are the quality and in the condition you're willing to accept. I've found new-with-tags-and-dust-bag for half-price and I'm really unsure if there's a bag anywhere I'd be willing to pay full retail for at this point.

    I prefer to buy in person after I try items on at the thrift store. The good news about buying used is that the items are often already laundered. Given the poor quality of new clothing these days, one never knows if the clothing will be in one piece or shrunk up to the size of a child after being washed. What I like the least is to buy new online, because, as you mentioned, they don't ethically deal with returns.

    My objection to denim is based on comfort as well as style, denim is thick, hot, stiff and rough, it just doesn’t feel good, and jeans’ waistbands are hideously uncomfortable. Denim is more casual than I like and here in the US, almost all jeans are super-scruffy looking.

    • @alicechoux973

I agree though that scruffy denim is not great. I only wear solid color with absolutely no rips or any other embellishments

      Hi! Apologies for the delay. Thank you so much for your words! <3 Unfortunately thrifting online can be risky and not everyone is super honest. I learnt to only filter by new with or without tags, because if you do like this you might find something that is not truly new but in great conditions. when you filter with "very good" unfortunately you find a lot of not good at all items. But it definitely takes a lot of time and patience. See you soon!

    The biggest mistake of the minimalists is assuming people would consider human rights when they're shopping for a new shirt on Black Friday at Zara. They're either stupid or refuse to acknowledge that sustainability will never succeed because it would be the end of fashion industry, and that's unlikely to happen. Ever.

    • @alicechoux973
      @alicechoux973 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Actually I assume the opposite. If people were more considerate of human rights when buying, the fashion industry wouldn't be as exploitative as it is now. The fashion industry wouldn't end with people buying more consciously as we will still need clothes and we will still want nice clothes. It will be the end of fast fashion, which is different. Regardless, this is idealistic and theoretical. I agree with you that it is unlikely to happen. But I personally still prefer to consider human rights in buying new things because it makes me sleep at night, even if I now that my impact is minimal.

    We are faced with numerous micro decisions daily but choosing what to wear each day is a pleasurable decision for me and a means of expressive myself. A capsule wardrobe is akin to wearing a uniform...boring and soul destroying. I love clothes too much and choose what I love with quality in mind, and as a result many of my clothes I have worn for years.

    • @alicechoux973
      @alicechoux973 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I totally understand that. I don't think that a capsule wardrobe is for everyone. If you enjoy your clothes, you wear them, and you keep them for years, then I see no problem with it. A capsule should be fun not a chore, if it's a chore, it's not for you. For me it was really helpful at the beginning to better understand my style and stop buying clothes for my imaginary self. Now I have a more flexible approach to it. I try not to have a massive wardrobe because i know that for me personally it becomes overwhelming and I don't enjoy it but I have more items than the classic capsule and I am ok with it.

    I waffled on putting a capsule together, for many of the reasons you listed. BUT, I did finally force myself to create an early fall capsule that I could pull from 95% of the time. I enjoyed the process of finding things in my closet that went well together in terms of natural fabrics and colors, and I had plenty to wear for my daily life. The weather, though! There are only 4 months out of our year that we have consistent seasonal temperatures. The rest of the time it is all over the place and I end up grabbing things out of my storage and putting them back, or I change mid-day. I think I have decided it isn't that important, and like you, I am working to just have less and make sure I love everything or it pairs well with what I love.

      the weather is a nightmare! At this point I always have few pieces from all seasons in my capsule because I know at some point I need it. That is also why it is not so easy for me to be super minimalistic

    Microplastic pollution is a serious issue that unfortunately recycling doesn't solve. It's for the best to ditch Polyester. You can check out our video to understand why.

      I agree that recycling is not a long term solution and in the meantime I actually stopped buying new items in polyester (recycled or not). But we need to do something with the plastic we have so I don't mind buying secondhand polyester or for things that are made of plastic anyway (like swimsuits). I will check your video :)

    I guess you have skiped number 5! (or there are only 6 reasons so you need to change the title of the video) haha very nice video I'll take it to teach my teen students :)

    Can you please make a video showing how exactly do you organize your agenda/planner and your bullet journal? I swear i bought like 20 of them and have not been able to keep up with them. I want to put my whole life in them including bills, monthly expenses everything

    • @alicechoux973
      @alicechoux973 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ah ah I feel you, I'm the same. At the moment my agenda is not organised but I am planning to organise it soon and at that point I will make a video, I promise

    Sometimes it feels that there is an overglamorization of minimalism, especially the aesthetic side of it. And it leads to us throwing away perfectly useful things and replacing them with brand new things that are more aesthetically minimalist. Which is counter to the whole point of minimalism!

    • @alicechoux973
      @alicechoux973 หลายเดือนก่อน

      exactly! I agree with limiting your buy and I declutter regularly, but I don't throw away stuff that are still good, it makes no sense!

    some people just want to live like they are on vacation all the time. i experienced this when i was a truck driver and also with another employer that flew me to different cities every week. if you hardly ever get home what's the point of having a residence ?

      True... this life should be lead like a traveller and a learner bcz its temporary journey after all in which clutter can create stress and loss of focus. God bless you

    Thanks for this! Would love to hear more about polyester recycling technologies. I'm wondering how you can produce a consistent product with such random inputs like scrap textiles ...

    I actually drive around with clothes and give them to homeless people and ask them if they would like the items until I have nothing in my trunk. I know they're going directly to someone who can use them.

    • @alicechoux973
      @alicechoux973 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's a great idea! I will try it too

  • @nataliazart
    @nataliazart 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Totally agree. To me is more about: stop the decluttering and wear what you have.

    • @alicechoux973
      @alicechoux973 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Couldn't agree more! Thank you for watching
