PLEASE give me tips on how to get a smell out of a garment!!!!
Also: apologies for the audio quality and varying lighting in this one yall, I did my best with the tools and space at my disposal but they do not always cooperate.
I‘ve had success with airing them out (outside) for an extremely long time, like a couple of months 😅 dont leave them where there is sun though because mine bleached really badly lol
I heard baking soda works!
Baking soda or white vinegar added to the wash.
i vintage shop a lot, and often pick up stuff with *special* smells... if it's really worth the effort, grab a bucket, give the item a boiling water+vinegar+baking soda bath, rinse and repeat a few times if needed, then throw it into a normal load of wash... i have even managed to salvage items with that horrendous cigarette curse using this method!! if it helps, pretend you're a witch brewing a nasty potion lmao
Use a steamer
I feel like your style is sooo close to being “90’s/ early 2000’s kids art teacher” and I REALLY want to see you fully embrace that!
hahaha that is very me, I have even worked as an after school art teacher!! (but also I like keeping my style a little ~undefinable~ hehe)
Just Ms Frizzle irl
yesss can we normalize being disappointed with something we settled for at thrift store because we were desperate and really wanted that style and we convinced ourselves that it fulfilled that need in the store but have never worn it because it’s not right but feel too guilty to get rid of it. and finally allow ourselves to actually get rid of it and find something better.
Being highly sensitive, I love hearing a fashion content creator actually talking about how the material feels. No matter how much I like an item visually, it has to feel comfortable in the first place.
This is truly the biggest make or break factor in clothing for me, I'm so glad it resonates with other people too!!
Yes, most comfortable fabrics are most usually natural. (Cotton, linen, wool, flax, real leather)
Omg now you need to do a “mend and refashion with me” video for that mend pile to help you tackle it! Mend piles always get bigger and bigger, never smaller 😢 I would find that pile so daunting, not gonna lie. The best of luck!
hahah I really really do, I am definitely daunted by this pile too--a video might be the only way to get me to actually get it done 😅😅
I'd love to see that in a video!
@@beepwrld Yes, that accountability can help a lot I think. And maybe it'll encourage me to tackly my own mend pile which is almost as big 😅
I was very surprised as to how few clothes you have! Your creativity makes it look like you have so much more.
Omg thank you this is such a win to me
One thing I’ve learned about purchases is you’re not going to get it right every time. As with everything else, it’s unrealistic to expect a 100% success rate! It’s helped me feel less bad about “fails”.
this is so true!! shopping well is genuinely a skill I think that takes time and practice and you still make mistakes sometimes
Distilled white vinegar will be your best friend to get that thrift store / pit stain / general must and germs out of your clothes! Add a cup straight into the washer with your detergent or hand wash it with the same amount!
Also try sun drying your clothes!
Seeing an overseas CZcamsr wearing and mentioning an Edda t-shirt - who are actually an old rock band from my home country, Hungary -, and realizing that somehow it made it all the way over to the USA and into a video I'm watching absolutely made my day. How awesome is that omg.
i felt tha same! :)
BIAS TAPE! It makes the edges look professionally done, and prevents it from doing the rolling/fraying thing!
thank you for that reminder to be mindful of donations to the thrift store. Yes, most of the unsold items probably goes to landfills but a part of what isn't sold is being shipped off to our country in southeast asia and these are the second-hand items being sold here. While I have found a lot of cool pieces from these importations, there so so many useless items that are being sold off like fun run t-shirts, university merch, company apparel, really tattered clothes and like stuff that nobody would really wear. Some people treat clothing donations as a feel-good way to throw away stuff.
i love that i can recognize every single peice and that you really use your clothes rather than just buying and always having new stuff! it feels so much more sustainable and realistic
It's that time of the year again! I thank you and all the CZcamsrs who do closet cleanups, because these videos are so motivating!
hahah all the other youtubers are what motivated me to do it! Glad it provides some useful inspo
the cute skirt potato sack on top dress is kind of giving that sheet ariel wore when she first got her legs and i mean that in the best way😂
omg ur so right ..it's a vibe!!
Liz you come with the most creative coolest outfits with a relatively normal amount of clothes.
Also thank you for your point at the end about finding an owner first, we all need to realise it's not as simple as donating to a thrift esp as fast fashion ruins the longevity and quality of our clothes
thank you so much!!
& glad that point resonated, it is truly insane the waste the fashion industry creates but I try my best to be mindful and avoid as much as I can
girl GIRL. you NEED to get nipple stickers! I swear they will change your life! they are super affordable, are VERY comfortable on your skin (I literally slept for two days in them bc I didn't even feel them) and they obviously make your nipples not noticeable at all. heavily recommend!
also, I think that your collection is very appropriately sized, but I've noticed you have a lot of basics. that's not bad at all obviously, but I feel like if you invested into buying just a little bit more statement pieces you could really elevate your look. but even without that, your fits fucking slap and you're AMAZING at styling your clothes! your videos bring me so much comfort, please never stop making them!! love love u
omg what a sweet comment thank you :')
I have truly been thinking I should get nipple covers for ages, this might be the push I needed!!
Also it's true I mostly wear comfy basics in everyday life haha, my life is so casual the statement pieces I do have never get worn as much. I am so honored you think I'm doing a great job styling them anyway!!! & thank you enjoy my videos so much:'))
I've also been thinking about buying them for ages, do you have any recommendation of covers that are durable and comfortable?
@@RatatouillesI like the silicone ones since they're reusable (just rinse them off with water when they're dirty and since it's silicone it just sticks back onto your skin when it dries), but they also sell satin or other fabric/plastic ones that are single use
@@SuperYoshiInvasion This is so interesting. I've never even thought of this, but I also hate bras, and I just wear kids/sports bras made of comfy stretchy stuff, but the straps always annoy me whenever i wanna dress up nicer...
Wearing a button down dress as a vest is such a good idea
Sew the yellow painted flower shirt pattern onto a tote bag!! I feel like that could be super cute
ooo that is a super cute idea
Okay but P rocking those kina and tam turtlenecks is THE PERFECT VIBE
he is going to slay them so hard!!!
i feel like this is a normal amount of clothes, but maybe a little on the higher end? but definitely not as many as one would expect from a fashion youtuber from what i've seen. overall, i'm a big fan of your mindset on clothing and i hope your clothes find good new homes!
I try to keep it reasonable and realistic!! So glad you enjoyed & I hope they do too:)
As a fashion girlie, I have a similar issue with mesh materials, I've found that saturating the scented areas with detergent and thoroughly massaging it in before before putting it in the wash load helps to remove unwanted smells! ✫
That black turtleneck with the puffy sleeves is my DREAM shirt. Heavens, I wouldnt care if it took me 10 minutes to get into, I'd wear it until it reduced to strings
Use white vinegar in your pre-wash to get smells out of your clothes. Bonus is it also acts like a colour refresher!
Try the aerie bras! Super comfy, they dont have wires in em, and you can barely tell you have it on!
oo ok good to know👀
yes these ones are the best^
They also have a bra recycling program where you can bring in any brand of bra get 15(pretty sure)% off your next bra purchase
@@beepwrld I'm thinking nipple covers could be an option to look into too😊🌻🌱
Ahhh what a timely video! I’m trying to clean out my wardrobe too because it’s exploding and I’m keeping stuff that no longer fits me (natural weight gain, and it’s making me feel guilty for having gained weight) so this might just push me to finally finish.
Much luck to you, I recently sold my too small clothes at a secondhand market and felt a bit bad seeing my favorite pair of shorts leave 😢 but they will be happy and worn
Getting rid of too-small clothes is the worst, props to both of you for getting it done & for taking care of your bodies with clothes that fit them
Actually have a surprisingly small amount of clothes for a fashion CZcamsr 😮 I love that your partner loved those shirts and took them 😅❤
haha I try to keep it realistic (& it definitely helps that this is still a relatively small channel). & I love that he took them too!! he loves to steal my clothes that he thinks are cool hahah
@@beepwrld That is so cute 🥰
Vinegar in the wash is great for smells. If that doesn’t work, you can “strip” your clothes in the tub in (with borax and washing soda) to remove built up detergents, body oils, hard water residues. Its not something you should do frequently to your clothes, but once is ok to get a tough smell out.
To me your wardrobe seems quite normal and it's very refreshing to see! I really enjoyed this video!
I'm glad to hear this!! & glad you enjoyed, thanks for watchin:)
For smells try the vodka method or the vinager/water method. It works on a lot of vintage smells and commonly used by resellers ❤ also the first shirt is a fabric we used to wear in the late nineties early 2000s and it is notoriously bad about retaining bo smells, I remember not wearing mine as often due to this terrible flaw with the fabric lol. Hope the tips help
I really love your artwork/graphics that you've added to tees and tanks, especially the eye with the wings!
so jealous of your cute white poofy blouses, the textures and sleeves are just EVERYTHING, they are insanely adorable! I have a hard time finding things like that in my area lol
oh my gosh the “never reaching for handmade clothing items” thing is so. me. I feel so guilty bc I spend soooo much time making them and then I never wear them 😭 so glad I’m not the only one haha 💗
so so happy I found your channel 🥳 love the tips and vibes and creativity ✨
I'm so happy you did too!! I always love your comments hehe & glad your enjoying the vids & vibes ✨
This must've taken so long to film and edit, appreciate all the effort!! 💛✨️
LOL it really did, the original footage was SO LONG.. thank u for the appreciation!!💓💖
I am utterly obsessed with the designated driver tshirt, you were so right to keep it
I watched this video about clearing out your wardrobe for motivation
I am now fully motivated to create my own white blouse/shirt collection
LOL oh no what have I done😂
Maybe you can do both
I love u sm for making this video I’ve been procrastinating on cleaning out my closet so you have inspired me ❤
omg hahah I'm so glad, I hope you can tackle it soon!!
Why do I love every single thing😭 you are so amazing and inspiring❤
omg this is so sweet hahah thank you sm
These are my favorite videos of all time! Thank you for the huge effort, it's appreciated 🎉
so glad you enjoyed!! 🎉 :)
This inspired an impromptu closet cleanout, so thanks for that!
if it's just about fixing the smell then i can recommend putting your clothes in a box with cat litter for a day or so, it absorbs smells really well and works even better than airing out or washing in my experience
Oh my gosh this is my favorite kind of video, I loooove getting see a person's whole closet! I was wondering what category was gonna have more of a similar style and was surprised it ended up being your white blouses (light color tops make me so nervous I could never!) About the wool coat: I also cannot stand wool touching me, so the one I have is strictly for and only comes out when it's cold enough that all my skin will be covered. Other than that, I think your closet is very reasonably sized- it seems realistic and manageable for the average person but the amount of variety says fashion girlie.
i am sooo here for the longer form content!!
That thumbnail gave me the shock of my life!!
Now I can't wait for all the thrift flip episodes coming up our way~! Also, feeling a little nostalgic about the leopard print dress turned into tops. I think it wasn't long after I started watching your videos that it popped up.
Add vinegar to the wash water or do a presoak with vinegar to get rid of odors.
THANK YOU
That wool sweater with the dog on the front with the cake and strawberry is the cutest thing I've ever seen.
hey about the nipple thing; you can either buy nip covers which are comfortable or just make an X with 2 simple plasters. I used to do that in highschool
I think you should keep the grey dress vest! It looks so good on you and I really loved every look you ever styled including it 🧡🙌🏼
been waiting for this video!! I really wanna do one of these try on everything in my own closet
I recommend it!!! Trying on things is helpful to feel the material and the fit, it makes me realize why i don't wear certain things haha
White vinegar is my go-to for smells on clothes. I usually just add a cup to my washer with the soap. Don't know how well it will help w more intense retained smells tho, or if it works on all kinds of smells
your dress collection is actually SO cute i salute you
I love the white long sleeve dragon design!
The patchwork babydoll dress you made is beauuutiful
thank you so much! :')
The cowboy tee, something I been doing a lot latley, is to wear shirts backwards, so you get the good print on the front, sometimes that requires seamripping the tag out or cutting of the neck ribbing. worth it though!
I'm new to your channel and am loving your content so far - feeling so inspired to shop from my own closet :) do you have DIY videos of the tanks you made? they are all so cute!
13:19 OH GORGEOUSSSSS
WAIT NO I NEED IT SO BAD 😭
I just love that edwardian silhouette on a modern piece omghdjadsj
For scratchy sweaters, I soaked mine in fabric softener to make them softer and condition the fabric (other than that fabric softener is useless)
To get rid of smells use a detergent from Fresh Wave, you’ll find the right one. It works so well!
Love the princess dress I hope I find one similar some day 😢 I get the guilt of never using my clothes, my mom would guiltrip me into never getting new clothes cuz "I never wore them" oh the perks of growing up catholic
I hope you do too! & hahah whenever we shopped for new clothes, my mom always made sure it met a checklist of practical criteria first.. honestly though I think she was right about that, it made sure I used them!
The handmade dresses are so cool !! Also, would love to see a hair tutorial (your hair is amazing) :')
thank you!! & omg haha thank u sm, I honestly don't really do anything to style it, I think it's just having the right haircut for my natural hair texture (which for me is very layered, almost a shag)!! I also let it air dry :)
liking the longer vids!!
9:23 There’s a few options regarding the shirt with the picture on the back that you like. I’ve done things before where I cut interesting logos or art off of shirts and use them as giant patches. I’ve sewn them onto the backs of jackets or hoodies, canvas bags, big purses, etc. Or use it for a project and turn it into a completely new shirt, bag, or pillow. My husband had this Pantera hoodie that he loved so much, but the sleeve cuffs were falling apart, so I made it into a throw pillow. 10 years later, it’s still on our couch.
hola! had you tried putting it over the heater? it works with smoke smell at least!
for anything that smells or traps sweat i use the lysol laundry sanitizer combined with oxiclean laundry sanitizer powder and just regular detergent (i usually use 7th generation, ivory detergent, or tide free & clear) in the wash and it gets all the smell out of mine & my bf’s athletic clothing and you don’t have to use much or you can spot treat with it as well for other more delicate items but i also love using that combo for sanitizing thrifted clothing
Love this so much ahhhh, will be one of those chill fun vids that I rewatch when I wanna relax 😊❤
omg I love this, honored you'd want to come back to it:')
@@beepwrldi did hellooo
I'd love to see you do a vid like this about your shoes!
I think all the shirts you painted are sooo cute lol
😆 I use trader Joe bags for my donation/cleaning piles too!
Every piece you passed is something I'd like in my wardrobe LOL
Still loved watching!
OH MY GOD I HAVE THE SAME DESIGNATED DRIVER SHIRT BAHAHA i thrifted it then also found a matching mug at another thrift store shortly after???? they are both so precious to me
The destinated driver tee!!
Smell tips to try in succession:
- Soak in a baking soda solution. Wash.
- Soak in fabric softener and vinegar solution. Wash.
- Soap in a solution with shampoo/conditioner (all the better if it has essential oil in it). Wash.
- Finally if none of the above work, the best one: air out in the sunshine (it has to be in direct bright sun) for as long as it takes. The sun does something magic to make undesirable smells go away.
the quilted tie front dress just changed my life i need it omg
I assume you meant vest hahah but someone definitely DIYed the ties so you could 100% do the same👀
@@beepwrld lmao autocorrect is my enemy😵💫 but ur so right, will be hitting the thrift store this week
15:33 what is the fiber content of the cardigan? If it's acrylic, you can soak it in hair conditioner to soften the fiber and make it less itchy. If it's wool, you can use wool soak (available at yarn store) or hand wash it with a couple of drops of lanolin to restore the natural oils in wool.
In terms of the fall dress that you're not comfortable wearing because of nipples showing, I would really recommend the nipple covers by Cakes Body! They don't have adhesive like other covers, they're just a grippy material that sticks to you as long as your top is somewhat snug. And they can be reused for basically forever. I bought them on a whim for a dress I couldn't wear a bra for, but now I wear them regularly because they're so comfortable. Anyway just thought I'd mention it!
I’m super uncomfortable with bras too!! Typically I wear these Calvin Klein wireless bralette things, and I find that they are super comfortable because the fabric is soft and there isn’t any wire or sharp things in them. Might be worth it to check out!!
Itchy wool sweaters need soft silk or rayon underneath. The silk is great when you have to go all day in the cold for work or snow play. I am sensitive to wools but while traveling a lovely blue wool sweater from Ireland was my best purchase.
You should get your colors done and thrift based on that !
I didn’t notice your little hamtaro guy on your mic at first, I love it 😁
That cowboy jacket is amaaaazing 🤯
the Gap has really good comfy bralettes
I need that white princess dress :)
It’s interesting how I love your style but am the polar opposite as to what I would have kept vs. decluttered. I can appreciate other styles even if it’s the opposite of my own.
I do the same thing with my sister 😂 Sometimes I tell her "if you're ever going to get rid of this, check with me first, I might want it back"
Girl I’ve been waiting
so happy ur here watching!!!❤
You look gorgeous in everything ❤️🇦🇺
You could try white distilled vinegar to get rid of the smells. Works well getting rid of animal smells from their bedding
Remove stains (under arms) from garments: (several options - can also combine).
1. Dish soap you'd use to had wash dishes.Have had best results with the kind that has orange or lemon extract in it / "plant based" dish soap. This works well on things that have oil in them. (Dripped butter on your shirt type of stuff. Also body oil. Ring around the collar, Want to get the odor out, have to get the oil out. Cover the stain with small squirt and rub it in a bit. Throw in washer. DO NOT add to washer soap dish, or you'll have bubbles coming out of your washer.
2. Oxyclean. Takes out most anything that is "organic" (food stains, baby spit up stains, blood etc.) A scoop in hot water; let sit for 24 hours. Good option after "dish soap cleaning" if stain persists.
3. Murphy's oil soap. - Requires washing after taking the stain out though. This works on heavy duty things like motor oil, machine grease, shoe polish, cooking oil that's hard to get out. These type of stains. Can also work on things like paint
4. Vinegar - Works great on urine stains / smell. Takes the smell out of stuff. Like if someone is on a medication that can cause body odor (like fish oil supplements). Medication someone might use to clean their liver which comes out in sweat.
With itchy wool I usually layer a turtleneck under, maybe not ideal, but works. If you wash it with softener just be careful to not shrink it ^^
For the top that still stinks, hang it outside in the sun. It may damage the color, slightly because it will bleach it a bit, but if you only do it for a few hours it should zap the odors and won't hurt the colors.
1/4 cup of White vinegar in the rinse water can help with garment smells.
You can try putting clothes in the freezer to get rid of smells. Works on natural fabrics (look up how to properly clean Levi's)
I'm so proud of you every time I try to get rid of clothes I fail horribly lol
When it comes to plain tshirts a bleach tie dye fixes that right up, especially if you're looking to add something interesting. And you can always dye over it if you wanna add more color into the shirt.
You may want to look into using white vinegar for smells trapped in fabrics.
as someone who also doesn’t wear bras bc i hate them and find them super uncomfortable, pasties we’re my lifesaver. i wear them all the time now. just some nude, thick, squishy ones. they’re great
The dress in 4:46 literally made me GASP. Also heck yeah for pajama dresses as fashion, I've been into them since I was like 14 haha. The night gowns are so pretty 🥰 With regards to jersey shopping/thrifting, most jerseys are pretty snug in terms of fit so if you want a loose fit you'll have to size up for the baggy effect 😊 I just borrow from my partner tho lol he has way too many jerseys. Also omg finally someone else who also can't wear wool sweaters, wool sweaters are so itchy 😣 Also I love so many of your DIY tops, DIY queen! 👑
You should take the tees with a cool back and make them one tee! 💥
To deep clean fabric I use a laundry stripping technique with hot water, 1/4 cup borax, 1/4 cup washing soda and and 1/2 cup dish or laundry detergent. I prefer unscented dish detergent. This is what I use to strip towels, stinky clothes and anything that's been washed in gain or other smelly soap
Where I live, when we don't want clothes anymore we first ask family, then friends and if then there are still clothes left the friends ask their friends and so on. We never threw away something for years only if it had stains or not repairable holes:)
Nipple covers, Oxiclean or Lysol Sanitizer for Sports (I use it for all my thrift hauls)
