I guess you like stories, like everybody does.
So this story is about your closet.
I don't know if you know the story of the closet but usually it's a very sad, American
kind of story you know ? I mean, the overweighted kind of story you
know ? It's a closet, full of clothes, but actually
you are only wearing 20%, maybe 10% of everything that is present in this closet, in your wardrobe.
You tried to help the closet by some weight-loss programs, but they never worked right ?
I have a weight-loss program here and it is miraculous, you should follow it…
So no this is not a fitness program.
We will go right now into my guide to be more happy with your wardrobe, saving money, saving
the earth and finally having the right amount of clothes in your wardrobe.
Let's go into this ! So… my first tip is : Buying less.
You know the Pareto's Law, it says, we should give 20% efforts for 80% results.
But see what we apply in our closet ? We have like 20% of our clothes that we really wear
every day.
80 % of the wardrobe we don't even wear it at all.
That's not at all the Pareto's law.
We give so much efforts and money buying stuff that we don't use…
And this has two consequences.
First : 1) It is sucking money out of your bank account
2) It is sucking the energy and polluting the atmosphere
Because as you know it the clothing industry is the second most polluting industry in the
world.
So you will help yourself with having more money and you will help the earth with less
pollution.
So how to do that ? How to reach a more healthy wardrobe ?
First thing you need to do is to take thirty minutes to one hour in front of your wardrobe,
in front of your closet.
You will take out every clothes that are standing there.
And you will take one garment and ask yourself a few questions that I will tell you right
know.
You can note it down if you need, you pause it and you note it down.
The first question you know it it is : Do I really need this garment ?
What do I mean by « Do I need this garment ? »
It means do I regularly wear it, is it official, « Am I really wearing it ? » « Ok, it's
true! »
So if you are wearing it you can drop it down on one side, maybe on your bed - you have
one side, and another side right ? - So you put it on the side where it's the clothes
you'll keep.
Then you ask yourself a second question : When I am wearing it, am I really happy, confortable,
and do I really like it ? Do I really appreciate wearing this garment
? Ok ? So I'll keep it on the side where I
keep those garments.
If it is not the case you'll put it on the other side.
The other side represents the clothes that yo'll give away.
You'll go to any place where they collect clothes to give it to poor people.
You'll do that ok ? Or you can give it to your nephews or I don't
know, but, you'll give it away.
Or recycle then, anyway, you'll have a brillant idea I'm sure.
And you do that for every clothes, do I really wear it, do I really appreciate it, am I confortable
in it, do I wear them often ? And for other clothes it may be a third category.
It's you like them but you wear them only occasionally, for occasions.
And that's also ok you'll keep them, put them aside.
So you do this first step, now we'll go to next steps.
Next step is : You should buy less my dear !
And how to buy less ? One advise is difficult to apply but I am
sure you'll be brave enough to do it : Don't go into malls.
Don't go into fast fashion.
Anymore.
You don't need it.
You have to buy clothes from brands that are more expansive, what you'll pay is quality.
And ethics.
Something that is cheap it cannot be of quality and ethics.
If it is cheap it means that the people creating the product are not paid.
Or they are paid very very less.
They are paid very very less ! Like in Bangladesh for exemple.
So first thing you will look into the garment, I don't know how you call it in English
- the tag - Where is it made from ? You'll look into that.
Second thing is you need to buy more expensive from good brands and to find those.
And to do that it is easy you go to fashion loggers, to YouTube channels, to forums.
Just learn about it.Learn about brands that provide quality and ethical clothing.
So that's the first thing, buy less and to buy less the most important tip I can give
you is look into yourself.
What is happening ? Maybe one day you feel not so good, you say I need to buy stuff,
you'll go out and you go shopping and you dive into this sense of I buy it and I feel
more happy.
But you know it is not the case, you are not more happy.
This is the trap of…
Our capitalist society.
Buying should be out of a purpose.
Never out of a small desire but out of a need.
Ok ? So when you when you want buy something ask yourself, same questions.
You are in the shop, you look at this garment that you like but…
Ok.
Do I really need it ? And when I am wearing it am I comfortable
? And do I really have the use of it ? Ask yourself those questions before buying
the clothes.
Next advise and the last one is…
You should buy in a more minimalistic way and for that you need to know :
How many clothes of each garment category do you really need ?
Sweaters, Ok, How many sweaters do I need ? Minimum.
And this minimum number that you really need, in your daily life, to be comfortable and
to have a nice turnover, so How many sweaters I need ? The number.
And maybe this is three.
So you stick to this number, you don't buy more.
You don't need more, so you don't buy more, and you save money.
And you save the earth all right ? Same with everything, socks, shirts, coats…
Like I, I own only three coats.
Ok I don't need more, so I don't buy more.
Just to give you an exemple for winter.
Three that's enough, I can have a nice turnover.
Maybe some people they need only two.
But this should come from you ok ? What I need.
What I feel I need.
Then last thing is you can buy more second hand.
You should buy second hand you'll find amazing deals.
Great prices, great clothes.
I mean go for it, and you'll find it on the web, you'll find it in vintage shops,
you'll find it in bric-a-brac, you know ? You'll find it, very easily.
So second hand is great.
