55 year old here on the other side of menopause. You are 100% right. With fashion, Hermes and Chanel handbags, oversized outerwear like blazers and trench coats, and well made knitwear will last forever. Everything else is just for enjoying whatever chapter of your life you are in. If you are serious about fashion as an investment, Fine Jewelry is something you will have for a lifetime and it holds its value. I have 3 pieces I bought in my late twenties that have tripled in value (with inflation).
I agree with you!
Really enjoying the change in this channel. It's always been amazing, but I'm enjoying seeing your growth and reflection. I don't technically know you, but I'm proud of you.
Thankyou so much that means a lot ☺️
You honestly don’t know how your journey with excessive shopping and spending has helped my life. I literally stumbled on your page when I was asking myself why I have an addiction to shopping. This has made me realise a lot on so many levels, thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!! 💕
Keep these topics coming Caitlin, love your realness and truly appreciate your openness and reflections what a beautiful period of your life…..
Thankyou so much! This means so much to me ❤️
I discovered the luxury world in 2020 thanks to a lot of free time and income due to the pandamic and after the initial excitement I started to choose very carefully what I wanted to spend my money on, shoes weren't my top choice, bags were more of my addiction but due to low funds and space I began to pick and choose very carefully which items I wanted to buy, I made a wishlist for my luxury items and changes it several time in the past year, I'm not big on trends, my style is more classic and neutral and I try not to fall into the hype of every youtuber and see what suits my lifestyle
I recently catalogued my wardrobe and while I also invested close to that amount of $, I'm so happy with the few but classic pieces I have because they fit my lifestyle so well as you said. I don't have a closet full of unworn heels, gala dresses -- I have flat shoes and comfortable breezy pieces that all go so well with each other and for all the occasions in my life. I totally agree with your sentiment of just purchasing what fits your lifestyle and not being influenced by the purchases of others which might not necessarily fit with personal style/preferences, etc.
I’ve just been watching your videos about you shopping addiction and the issues with that and seeing you where you are today gives me hope! I have a small amount of debt compared to the amount of money you’re talking about spending, but it feels the way that you describe. Now I’m almost 33 and finally ready to change. Love you! Xx
Couldn’t agree more, turned 42 a few months back and my style is completely different from my 30s. I purchased one bag before the Chanel increase (likely my last) this year and a beautiful rose gold omega aqua terra. Both very classic and thought out (vs impulse). I also cleaned out my closet of things I don’t love and passed them to my mom/sister.
The only other thing I’m spending on is traveling this year. That’s my happy place!
I’m so excited for your travels! Xx
It's awesome that you have learnt from your experiences, some people go through life and never learn.
Thankyou so much for watching 🥰
Caitlin I am so glad that you made this video.I’m 23 years old but I have noticed how my stole has changed & what type of shoes I prefer to wear & such.I have also noticed as well that things that I wear repeatedly are well made items whether they are on the cheaper side of pricing or in the hundreds of dollars.& I have never really been one to like going along with trends because they’ve very little times been my actual style but I’ve noticed that me thinking about how I feel in my own skin & in my own body I’m considering less & less of peoples opinions on how I look & solely focusing on how I’m feeling in what I’m wearing & how confident I feel & comfortable I am❤❤I look forward to seeing more of these videos from your channel I really enjoy watching these types of videos
Thankyou so so much for supporting my videos ❤️❤️
Caitlin, every time you post one of these introspective videos, you become more interesting as a content creator and as a person. One’s desire for material things changes throughout one’s life. In my case, it lessened. I believe that is growth. It took me years not to want every new, shiny thing. I still admire them, but don’t need to own them. Don’t get me wrong, I still indulge myself, but I am way more selective. There were times where I felt like I was chasing my own tail and that was exhausting. Oh, and if at the end of your days blowing 50K on designer clothes is your biggest mistake, you’re in good shape! ❤️🤣
Thankyou so so much for your comment 🥰

Happy journalling!
These are my favorite types of videos Caitlin. Thanks for sharing! & YES after my having my little one my feet grew & my body is not the same. Whats insane is-I weigh less than my pre-baby weight!!! & to add to that-there are items in my closet that don’t fit anymore! What’s even more interesting: I LOVE my body after having my little guy. I have nicer curves and overall I feel my face is softer. Great video & insight! It’s lovely seeing your journey & your changing relationship with luxury. Makes me feel like I’m not alone ❤ God bless!
Thankyou for sharing your experience ❤️
This is so exciting to watch, putting more context to your change here on YT
Thankyou for watching ☺️
I had this same realization and transition right around 28-30. To focus more on quality classics that would stand the test of time. I wanted to curate a wardrobe that was stylish, classic, simple to get ready (everything matched easily), and had this general appeal of very put-together and "expensive looking". But then this year (turning 35 soon), I've had a huge shift mentally as I'm starting a couple new chapters. There's this sense of confidence and not caring what other people think that has really hit me this year. I've always been someone with confidence and not caring about opinions, but it has hit me deeper than I can describe. It's like this sense of "only living once" that has come upon me...maybe because I'm getting older and the years are going by so rapidly. But this shift has also shifted my wardrobe. And now I'm back to enjoying the bright colors, loud patterns, things that I thought I was "getting over"...but I'm starting to realize that if I love something and it makes me happy and brings me joy...screw it. Get the item, and wear the item. We only live once. We are only going to be this exact age, at this exact moment. We will never be younger than we are now. So wear the crazy things that make you smile. However, who knows how I will feel 5 years from now about these items!? So I agree, get quality items, but nothing excessively expensive because we all change all the time.
I’m so happy for you!
but i think also you can follow trends and do what makes you happy without spending 50000+ dollars.. so i dont think your point goes against what caitlin is saying
theres lots of less expensive options that are still so so beautiful and trendy , the world is so big m full of options
Great video! Love your introspective videos, really shows your personality and growth and gets me thinking about what I can do to improve also. Thanks for sharing and taking us along on your journey! ❤
Thankyou so much for being here ❤️
Everything you said totally relate. My friends and I turned 40 this year and talked about how much our style and bodies have changed and how much money waisted 😅…but the nice thing in your 40s I feel like you’re more comfortable with yourself and know what you like and works for you so you make wiser choices (hopefully haha)
That’s good to know Thankyou for sharing your experience ❤️
I started decluttering a year ago. This year I'm ready to stop spending. I'm an organised hoarder (as opposed to a squalor hoarder) and my home is at capacity. You wouldn't know im a hoarder, it doesn't look like the hoarder scale pictures. Mentally I'm a minimalist! So I'm at odds with myself
Great video! Keep them coming! The reflective videos on luxury consumption is very beneficial to the luxury community.
Thankyou!
That is a healthy outlook- your body changes and especially after babies and menopause. Comfort does play a part in what you feel confident in. It is ok to understand the changes because it should be acceptable for women to embrace and understand that the body you have at 18,21,25,30,35 are all different and all fine as long as you are healthy.
I'm 23 and have been falling into the online shopping rabbit hole for the last 6 months and even thou, I just wanted to drop by and say I am really loving your channel and appreciate your insight, thank you for sharing your story.
Thankyou so much for watching ❤️
This is such an honest and vulnerable video. And not what I was expecting. Maybe we are in vastly different income brackets, but in my 20's, I put $50,000 into our first home with my husband. That first investment put us on track to building the real estate empire we have today (joking, but we do have a solid nest egg). Investments done early in life grow over time. We would probably be living a life focused on paying off debt if we had not gotten that first home when we were young. Not only did we save on rent, but we also learned the value of money and how and when to make sacrifices. We are ripping the benefits today. In a way, I am glad to hear that this is not a financial issue for you. I think that would make things a lot worse.
Thankyou so much for opening up and sharing your experience while also being so kind ❤️
Great video Caitlin! Prior to the pandemic, I spent a lot of money on smaller items (all on sale or second hand) and I totally agree with you that half these items never see the light of day again after the fad is gone.
After Covid hit, my career sped up and gave me the ability to buy a few designer bags, amongst other things. While I didn’t buy too much, as most of my clothing -based wardrobe is pretty complete, I now own a few impulse purchases my wardrobe could do without.
Thankyou for sharing your thoughts on this ❤️
You cruise along in your twenties looking gorgeous, swanning around, eating crap, exercising sporadically then towards the end of those, your muscles give up and the love handles start. That’s when the work begins. I’m of an age where I’m past all that. I get home, immediately go for a wee, kick off my shoes whilst undoing my bra and put on my ‘lounge wear’ (OK, pjs). I feel like crying if I have to be anywhere that keeps me out past 8pm of a weeknight. Wear all the Designer short skirts, spaghetti strap tops and beautiful heels in your 20s Ladies, for bunions, ingrown toenails and bingo wings are lurking round the corner 😂.
Bingo wings lol! I’m in my 40’s and I completely get you with getting comfy asap and not staying out late. For me, comfort is key!
We live and we grow! I enjoy luxury purchases but I've limited it to just bags and jewelry. I'm too messy when eating to have designer clothes, and I'm too clumsy on my feet naturally to have designer shoes, lol. In my 20's I thought I was invincible and I would never change. I'm now 35, and my body has changed as well as my outlook on life. I enjoy comfortable clothing and buying items that make me feel beautiful and are timeless or unique. I love your older videos, and I love your new videos - you are doing it right! Sending love and light!
Thankyou so much for watching ❤️
"I'm too messy when eating": can definitely relate 😅
@@perthfanny3017 Loll, nice to meet you fellow messy eater! 😂
Lovin these videos! U shld do a video on say hermes boots and wht u purchased instead or this bag vs most affordable etc
Yes after covid pandy I changed alot in what I liked anymore and even my body changed .. im 34 now and now I love athletic gear
I completely understand this. I spent much less than $50k, but I did waste a lot of money on clothes in my 20s. Just this last year, I discovered the "Kibbe Body Type" system, which goes into WAY more detail than the vague fruit system. Once I embraced my actual body type, I can now look at something in the store and say "That's super cute, but it would look off on me and I would never wear it." Now I'm much more picky about the clothes I buy and am more comfortable buying the occasional expensive piece. If you guys find yourself buying clothes that you end up never wearing, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you find your Kibbe body type and color season. Knowing this will give you so much power over your style.
I blew well over that too and now I have none of it. I sold it all. It was a moment and as my great granny used to say “It was a bought lesson”. Also, the more kids you have the more changes. My feet changed, bra size, body even my eyesight!
In my 20s I didn’t have a lot of money and probably it was blessing in some ways. Because I prioritized traveling and spent most of my modest budget on trips. I had 0 luxury clothes or cosmetics but it didn’t bother me at all 🤷🏻♀️
In mid 30s I moved to Denmark, got a good job and had some shopping addiction but the minimalism ideas helped me to get over it :)
I’m still looking for a balance in my life. But I guess it’s non-stop process.
Your content is super interesting and useful! Thank you for your honesty 😀🙌
I love your journey 😀today I rauher put the money in the stock market instead of designer shoes. Makes me much happier 😄
👏
I am kind of happy that I am an XXL - so most designer stuff won't fit and I always have in mind "if you loose or gain weight it won't fit anymore". This saved me a lot money (I then spent of food... Ohhh what a circle 🤣) and I am pretty happy about it. Also my personal clothing style has a wide range.
I still try to buy good quality but not designer.
But i also spent money because of you / the Carrie dress, a dior skirt (dupe...) I just love your style... So your spending did good things. It helped me devolp what I like.
Btw I thought I had (missed some of your recent videos as I had not enough CZcams time left, but will catch up. So if you already did... Forget what I wrote): you had a "feature" in an Australian magazine/newspaper a while ago. About being an influencer and collecting bags. Maybe it would be an interesting video to dig it out and hear your thoughts about it now.
Thankyou for being here I really appreciate it
Also Thankyou for your video suggestion ☺️
I love your channel. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thankyou so much for supporting my channel 🥰
Investing in quality, timeless pieces is always valid- I look to Zara, mango, H&M for super trendy stuff and have Chanel, Dior, Sandro, Hermes for long term staples. I am a huge proponent of Pre owned and vintage clothing, especially ready to wear. Totally agree on trendy pieces.
I give it up to you for counting/having a rough estimate. I am too scared to even count as I’m sure I’ve spent enough to buy a really nice car. And that’s just with bags. I don’t buy clothing or shoes. But there are some I’m eyeing lol.
I learned a long time ago (in my early 20s) I don’t like logos/bright clothes/trend pieces. I started buying a lot of basics in quality materials from skin and threads and max Mara and many of those items are still in my collection today (I’m turning 37 in July). I have definitely made some mistakes over the years thinking I’ll try something different but when it comes down to it my style is super basic (minimal and neutral). This goes for bags too. I’m trying to sell a Gucci marmont bag I only wore a few times because I just find the logo too much for me. I prefer my Fendi mini peekaboo (black) and my Loewe flamenco (also black) and puzzle (tan) bags. Probably boring to some people but I definitely get my cost per wear down to next to nothing because I wear these items every year in most seasons.
Yes, the Gucci Marmot is not a good investment. Should you buy a Gucci, get the Bamboo bag whose price points keeps increasing every 3 months
@@romainstaelen3715 I definitely didn’t buy and never buy anything thinking of selling it or buying it as an investment. I buy things I intend to use for a long time. If I see something I like I will buy it but it doesn’t always work out. This is the first and probably the last bag I will sell. I completely expect to make a big loss reselling but I really don’t care. I just don’t want the bag going to landfill or sitting in my wardrobe creating clutter.
Caitlin I really really love your style so so much and I love that black colour bag so so much you are my inspiration and I wish you reach 50K Subscribers very very soon!💕🙂💫
Thankyou so much for your support ☺️
This video is very important for your younger viewers
I think so too 😊
I'm 33 and my body is 100% changing. It's not wildly dramatic, but it's different. It's like being reintroduced to my body. I hold weight differently compared to my 20s.
I was lucky to be skinny with no weight issues but turning 50 was so bad and weight is now an issue😅
Thankyou for sharing your experiences ❤️
I feel like many luxury clothes value do not appreciate over time compared to handbags. This thought process prevented me from making trendy purchases! Still thinking about that Celine crop top though... 😅
I have a pile of about 30 clothing pieces lying here on the spare bed, all items that were bad purchases (not fully fitting, not fully my style or color or etc..) but most of those peaces were like 40usd, but i can imagine you going through the same but with items 100x more pricey then mine. It surely takes time to develope a personal style
I completely agree with you!
I did not know that it is possible ( because i am 29 ) but after giving a birth my foot grown up despite i lost 15 lb ( from the weight before gave birth ) It can really change, your body is always changing so is your choices
love these videos, and I think they should be talked about a lot more! My perspective on luxury has changed as in now, I allocate my money toward luxury travel more. I still love lux shopping, but I try to balance it out and make sure that I actually invest in assets like stocks, real estate, etc. before luxury items because yes you can get your money back with some lux items but honestly I don't think we should be constantly telling ourselves that they're "assets"
I think it is not specifically designer cloth but cloth in general. Your style can change also based on your work situation too. Since I am working from home full time (2019), Monday to Friday, it is very relax way.
I am 38 now and what your friend say is true: my body AND style are changing so much over the past years and no end of this in sight...so: I am very careful of spending too much money on pieces of clothing. Handbags and jewelry however is another topic! 😇
Keep going Caitlin, we are proud of you.
Thankyou so much 🥰
Trust me, you will make a lot more mistakes in life, buying clothes and spending this much will be nothing compare to other things.Just enjoy life as it comes, life is full surprises, you are only 30, lots to come your way which will surprise you a lot. Your channel went from full fashion to this, margarita went from fashion to become a relationship expert how to catch a good man 😂 relax and just take it easy 🤗🤗🤗🤗
I was watching the influencer Tamara the other day and was thinking she must move through so many clothes 😅 So much so I noticed in her most recent haul she forgot what she actually bought 😅
That’s because she gets most of her clothes free. Platforms like far fetch sponsor her hauls. Sometimes when you don’t spend your own money you become more careless with what you get
@@pinksocks115 She is careless anyway. She came to England with extreme money from Serbia. Her father is a pharmaceutical mafia man high up in the government. Serbia is war torn impoverished country and anyone who is extremely wealthy there is a criminal. Ordinary citizens in Serbia die because of lack of basic healthcare so that Tamara can spend more than million pounds on shoes ,handbags and plastic surgery, funded from Serbia’s healthcare budget
I turn 29 next month and have been going through a very similar realisation/process with my designer collection - still very much in love with many of my bags but rehoming the ones i have never gotten use of, and also regretting the designer heels i will never wear enough to be “worth it”. If i sit down and total all my luxury spending…😅 but better to realise all this now that never hey? Here’s to bigger and better things while still enjoying some finer things in life!!
Ps. Check out Midas and Edward Meller for boots, buttery leathers and way more comfortable from first wear than anything designer!!
Thankyou for sharing these brands and your thoughts 🥰
This is the stealth wealth / quiet luxury argument, and all the content creators who have had enough time to mature and reflect on their past spending habits have come to agree: classic pieces in neutral colors and of quality material will always trump trendy pieces in loud prints
Omg with the shoe sizes! I am not a mom nor currently expecting but that is like my fear. Want to buy like 5-6 luxury pairs but I also don’t want to throw money away. If I did it earlier, right now at 29, I would’ve enjoyed for many many years in the past ‘til now. At this moment, it’s better for me to wait on buying shoes. Luxury clothes is not really my thing- well classics but I have like 2 and that’s it. 😊 Great topic!
Thanks for watching ❤️
great video❤ love you caitlin🌈🌞
Lots of love to you! ❤️
@@CaitlinPawlowski 🌈🌞🦋💖🦋
My thought process is, you can’t take it with you, so you might as well have fun while you have the chance and are able too.
Life is extremely too short to have regrets over such mundane stuff. Chalk them up to experience because that is exactly what they were, something that you experienced in that chapter of your life. It’s not a mistake, it may have made you feel great, or hold a certain memory. Things you can look back on and see how you’ve grown. You love it at the time and that’s all that matter(s)ed.
To be so strategic about purchases like this ultimately will end up a waste of time because you could spill crap on it, tear it, lose it etc. Then what? Loool.. and again when you shuffle of this earth you can’t take it with you. Life can be so intensely overwhelming in good a bad ways, to just not be able to express yourself in the clothes that suit you at the time.
If You can afford it and afford it comfortably why berate yourself for loving something that may not be timeless. Timeless doesn’t always equal pleasure or love.
This is a very helpful video for me who’s in her twenties trying to build a mindful style and wardrobe investing in quality pieces (both high-end and flea market). There’s a fine line between Investing in quality high-end vs overspending, but one that is not always very clear.
The strategy I’ve been using is: save 10k put it away in savings or in stocks, then start saving up for an item I want. Once getting the item, then I save up for another 10k put it away in savings/investment and so on.
How does this sound?? I wanna be able to treat myself but also be saving up for the future
That sounds very wise! I love this strategy!
Girl. Don't be hard on yourself. If you hadn't had spent that much money on designer stuff, we wouldn't have had the chance to hear DEASSEEEAAAASE!!!! 🤣🤣🤣. Kidding! We all make mistakes. But we all got to know your channel from your love of designer things.
I have gone through menopause now. And my feet, waist, bust, and overall size has changed. With that my tastes have changed. I enjoy being stylish, but stylish on a budget. I literally can't wear most of my cloths or shoes from 3 or 4 years ago. My more expensive items were more like Tory Burch or Frye boots, but still most of these do not fit any more. I am now turning to preloved or second hand stores. I can sell some of my things and buy some new things at much better prices.
Feet grows with weight gain also. I rarely spend much these days.
My feet grew with pregnancy and menopause…. I have so many lovely shoes that I can’t wear now.
Yesss, your feet can change, your body will change 😅 Spend your money smart… be happy💞
love you as man my style is the same but always stylish
Things change every 10 years. It did for me when I was 30, I am turning 40 in few months and I am nervous about changing again. For one, metabolism sure changed already. I was hovering 2 kg lighter a year ago than now, even if I ate the same amount. I feel the skin on on face a bit saggier than previously too. It's scary but that's the way it is 😅
Wow a lot of people turning 40 this year like me!
I hope you have a beautiful 40th celebration ❤️
@@CaitlinPawlowski yes! Thank you ❤️ my frds and I are going to europe. First time for me! Xoxo
Im 30 and i see my wardrove is huge with many different styles 😅 idk what to do. I sold my high heels bc i cant walk with them , im staying with the loafers
Spending $50,000 on designer clothes isn't a mistake. That's called vanity.
I am battling an addictive personality, in which I am addicted to beautiful things. I do not care about how people perceive these items because I am not looking for validation from them. I just love beauty! I own designer bags...I do not carry a bag in my real life...why on Gods green earth do I own them, because when I look at them my endorphins hit the roof. I continue to chase that dragon like a drug addict. I do not drink, smoke, I am a vegan, and I drive an electric car, but I am filling a void somewhere. Is it boredom, maybe, but I have learned that much of the items I own only mean something to me. I am the only person in my immediate circle that sees these items having extreme value. However, just like anything the high doesn't feel the same and now I am slowly coming out of my bender and realizing, geez I spent a lot of time shopping for things that just take up space. Now I am purging and following a better purchasing strategy. No longer am I buying because of the label, I now buy based on the material. It hit me hard when I purchased a Karen Millen dress. I spent 300+ Canadian. When I opened it the material of the dress was no better than Zara. I realized it is not about the name, but the quality materials used. Even luxury makes crap and now I see things differently, if it's a trend I avoid it.
I hope you’ve managed to find some peace with your new purchasing strategy
Thankyou for watching 🥰
As someone a couple years ahead, to me the items that stand the test of time through different life stages:
Small to medium sized bags
A nice shawl or scarf
A great belt where the band is adjustable (like the Hermes Kelly belt) or the band can be replaced as waistline changes (most other Hermes belt)
Fine jewelry
A super fun costume jewelry piece (earrings or necklace) that is not too trendy but unique
A good watch
Feet change, bodies change, and most importantly lifestyles change. Even if a person is super fit and never changes sizes, lifestyle changes from single to partnered, parenthood, job changes, and moving to different climates/ places. This is why ready to wear is inherently not as long-standing. It also is not as durable as fine jewelry, watches or a high quality handbag.
You are so right! Thankyou for sharing this
Wish I had stored and not purged as much in my life time. Fashion is circular.
Im in my 40 with 7 y/o child. Heels is not my thing anymore.. i have plantar facititis, cant wear flat.. i only can wear soft comfy sandals that looks ugly 😭 but good for my feet. Going up in size too..
clothing wise, my wardrobe is filled with crap, looking at it i feel like ‘what the hell was i thinking? Why did i buy this? Its not even me.. and i bought it just 2 months agooo… 😅 lucky they are not a expensive or designer brand, so i dont feel guilty as much.
Online shopping is the worst sometimes. FOMO is their marketing strategy.. limited stock, not repeated style etc..
I also went thru a big reflection when I turned 30.
It seems to be pretty common the more people I talk to about it
Used to wear & adore ferragamos shoes but due to pregnancy & size feet changes, i am unable to wear all of them now
*Crying silently inside* 😢
😭
such a good video. You will find that even your feet change as you get older.
❤
Omg😊
have you seen how designer brands burn their left over stock so its not sold anywhere else for cheaper and kept scarce? look ur Burberry they revealed it first. disgusting in these times.
Do you think your outlook on designer pieces has changed with age and having a boyfriend, which has made you look at your buying situation differently?
I think it’s part of it absolutely 😘
Wait till you’re 55. You can’t imagine what happens, especially if you’ve had children. 🙄
only 50k? to be honest, 50k over the course of a decade or so is really not that bad at all. people easily spend this much on a hobby that is not a luxury. i think it's reasonable. 50k a year would be a problem.
Greatly underestimated and it was only really clothes I wasn’t even counting the 100+ pairs of shoes I bought and all the bags trust me it was way worse 😂
@@CaitlinPawlowski thanks for the response. why didn't you give a more accurate estimate in the video? 50k a decade on a hobby is reasonable. maybe you should do a video update with a more accurate estimate
your friend in her 40s needs to realize life is short and get a tummy tuck / breast lift to enjoy life again
Some people don’t want to go under the knife for superficial reasons and may want to grow to feel confident at each stage without undergoing cosmetic procedures
