Hi Marleen, I have a question. I am a big girl (24 .26) as I have put a lot of weight on over the last few years. My question is I have so many beautiful clothes at size 18 to 22. And a closet full of clothes I can't wear. Do I dump them? Do I try to lose weight again? Do I try and sew them? I hate throwing them out but I meet to sort it out. But it's so much money!!
Personally… I’d get rid.. keeping clothes we can’t fit is proven to have a negative effect on our mental health.. you could sell it on Facebook market place or a Facebook group in your area, or depop or equivalent in your area. IF you wish to loose weight and feel that you don’t want to get rid of the clothes, I suggest packing it into bin bags, in sizes, and pop it all to the attic until you need it again. I get the money aspect, but those pieces are part of your past… your not going that way xx
Indeed hun. I too have gained weight as I have been ill with long covid for nearly 2 years now and all my hard (and finally healthy) work went out the window. It’s rubbish but it is what it is. I’m alive, my weight will be sorted at some point when my mindset is back to good again. I’m living for today and looking forward to the future. The past is only a book of lessons I have learned xx
Oh my God you look amazing in so many of these outfits!!!! the shorts look absolutely stunning on you your legs are so nice n firm 😳 if I had legs like that I would live in shorts!!! I never wear em. Absolutely adore the hair pulled back with the hoops 😱 you're giving Khloe Kardashian vibes
Gee, you have great legs Marleen! I thought I could hear an Irish accent but then was sure once i saw your name - my Dad's 8 sisters' name all end in "een," in honour of our Irish heritage! I may as well write them down for a bit of a laugh as we all think it is pretty funny in Australia. Kathleen, Maureen, Colleen, Josephine, Eilleen, Shaleen, Rosaleen and Magdaline! Phew, lol!
What an amazing collection on names. They are all beautiful. I live in Ireland, my husband is Irish, but I am in fact Danish. My name is the German spelling of its kind. I just tend to pick up accents very easy. When I get tired my American accent comes out. (I grew up with American English)
@@ImjustmeMarleen Wow, I can hardly hear your Danish accent but I’m not surprised since you Danes and other Europeans speak better English than some of us sometimes, 😀. I lived in Galway for a while in my 20’s and I think the American and Irish accents have similarities, too.
Do you know you have beautiful legs? I liked the shorts, i try more loose in the front but I think those looked pretty good, specially w the cardigans so you just give a peekaboo of your gorgeous legs. Thanks, got good ideas for me.
Hi Marleen, thank you very much for sharing with us idea of capsule wardrobe. I would love to be more minimalistic. I will try to see what I've got in my wardrobe and style few pieces into nice outfits just like you did xx ☺️❤️
Really enjoyed this thank you Marleen.I must go look at my clothes and discover combinations etc. also I’ll start wearing all the Shein things I forgot I had!!!!
I enjoy your videos, but you talk so fast & have an accent, so sometimes I don't understand what you're saying. 🙋🏼♀️ I'm watching from FL🇺🇸 in America
Yea I do talk fast Paisley, it’s the constant battle of getting as much information in there before people get bored and click off the video. I believe you can slow down the tempo of the videos when your watching, maybe that can help. Appreciate you watching xx
i cant believe the amount you have come up with. the h&m dress is beautiful xxx
I know right. I was quite surprised myself lol
i feel like im taking a class on making outfits haha so educational thanks
ah thank you x
I love the color palette so much!
Thank you x
I like your capsule wardrobe videos. Did you ever buy house items from Shein and rate them?
I got a few bits for Halloween and Christmas but no, never did a full haul. Maybe I should lol
@@ImjustmeMarleen I would watch it eagerly.
I've never had a shirt dress, they always pull over my stomach and hips, ive not had any luck finding one that fits properly 😥xx
If you have a larger bottom half they can be a little tricky, but keep searching if you like the look xx
Had a strip of material in the same colour to the bottom of tshirts and dresses!!! It makes them unique and the right length too.
using the dress as a duster is brilliant! Love your use of color too. Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure and thank you x
