About 70-75% of my clothes are made by me. Sewing my own allows me total control over the quality. About half of my hand made clothes are 7+ years old and in still great condition. I do well buying t-shirts from the men's department at Walmart and pay between $3-10. They are either all cotton or 90% cotton. The fabric is thicker and will stand the test of time. I do redo the necklines to create a v-neck without needing an extra fabric or I turned the crew neck to a wider one. I buy men's chinos at Walmart that is 70% cotton and are stretch. The fabric doesn't fade like women's chinos, has REAL pockets, better construction and tougher fabric. Plus they fit me rectangular figure the best. Its one of the house brands and costs about $20-22 now. Mine are five years old and still look very nice after weekly wear and laundering. I alternate between IT and upscale hotels for work. Right now I'm disabled but working towards returning to work within 18 month at the latest. Secondhand often has some real gems as well.
I just found your channel! I’m currently creating my capsule wardrobe and so far your shorts and videos have been the most helpful for me! 🥹🤍 Can’t wait for what’s to come! New sub! 🤞🏾🫶🏾
03:22 THANK YOU for basing it off of the shoulders rather than the bust size!! I have very broad shoulders and they're a factor almost every single time I buy an item.
I thought i needed the striped sweater too, but its not mine thing. I think its the horizontal stripe,because i like the vertical stripes but only on a button down shirt,for spring and summer.
I'm totally with you on this one! ☝🏼All staples, trends, or basics aren't for everyone, and the real KEY to dressing better is having a personal style! Knowing what you like and don't like is a good start! 🤍
H & M has some very cute timeless sweaters that are mostly recycled polyester made from all the plastic bottles 👍👍this is good for our planet to utilize waste this way I think. I hv a couple they are adorable nice quality and comfy. Its so true, just because of the name of a company does not mean all their garments are low quality or high quality. Wish it was that easy. Uniqlo white Ts are my fav. 20.00
You still can read labels and look for piling, loose seams and fit. When I buy secondhand clothes, I am just as picky with my choices. I think of what I can wear for the next five+ years. Usually I find great items that I normally could never afford s new.

This is a great video but the ads were absolutely overwhelming they really took away from the content.
