Yes. U nailed it for me “my closet doesn’t reflect my lifestyle”. I have more going out clothes than everyday clothes (and I don’t really go out anywhere) and it’s no wonder I feel like I have nothing to wear! They say buy for your current self instead of your fantasy self.

The most important piece in a capsule wardrobe: a body who makes you happy

If you want to know what clothes to keep look in your laundry basket.

This video doesn’t apply to me at all, I’m a guy with very little clothes, but I subscribed because I was looking all these minimalist videos, and then I clicked on this one and ended up in another world. This whole video’s a work of art, it breathes peace into my being: her peaceful way of talking, the perfect colors in her appartment, the mimimalistic editing style. I’ve added it to my video list of guided meditations haha

I’ve got around 55 pieces in my capsule wardrobe. This may seem like a lot, but I live in the Netherlands with 4 seasons, so I need all of those clothes just because the weather can change a lot throughout the year. I’m always working on it, but right now I am pretty content with it!

I just wanted to share as a 14 years-old young woman who's living on a slow living lifestyle is such a good thing to deal with anxiety. This video, well, exactly, her videos always calm and help my mind to breathe in and breathe out. So, I will donate some of my things in my wardrobe!💚

The colour palette of your outfit actually compliments your skin tone. ❤️❤️❤️

Your voice, your environment and the music are so soothing. I am not a minimalist but still get alot of great ideas from your channel.

girl I love ur videos so much I start my day with them every morning
they're just like meditation
thank you

[ecbelle]

As someone who consumes a lot of minimalist content, I get bored of watching how-tos. I'd love a video from you called MY CAPSULE where you walk us through each of your pieces, what you like about it, when and where you got it, the connection you have with it. Same for other areas in your home like your beauty collection and your home decor, etc.

[jocelynsloan]

I need your kind of calm in my life! This is really inspiring. I’m so sick of having nothing to wear and not loving my clothes. Ready to make a change!

[kimgordon]

Just to revisit... Having various types of outerwear has been a real treasure here in the 4 season area!
1. Rain jacket
2. Poncho
3. Car coat
4. Wind breaker
5. Down short + 3/4 length
6. One soecial occasion wool
(Gloves & Scarves as accessories)

Wow I’m glad I found this link! Yes, I’ve been working on my capsule wardrobe. It was tough at first, so I’ve been doing it in layers. I did it once… and it felt so good to clean out and see how much easier it was to get dressed. So now, every 3 mos I’ve been working on my capsule wardrobe! Each time donating more and more and seeing that I don’t need a lot to look sharp. I’m finding that the things that I have chosen to keep are my best pieces that look really nice on me. Instead of just making things work on my body, what I have now just works! No fussing around. I also did 3 piles (keep, donate, maybe). Anything needing a repair, button, dry clean I donated. The “maybe” pile I picked from was if I needed to complete an outfit from my “keep” pile. Even if it wasn’t quite 100% I used it until I decided it was time to purchase the piece I needed. I’ve learned to shop with intention and also to be choosy on what pieces to invest in, and the quality, and how long it will last and if it will go out of style. Life is so much more fulfilling when I’m not bogged down with “stuff”!

[Ghostinaseashell]

I love your neutral pieces you have in your wardrobe. You inspired me to shop for more basic pieces and let go of items that no longer suit my personality. Thank you.

Hi! Just watched your YouTube couple days ago. My best friend recommended it to me and my husband to watch. We just got married and moved to the US. I am Asian, in the process of a green card, me and my husband run a company together. I am very inspired by your life journey. You have a beautiful mind and heart. Excited to learn more from you, hopefully I can live a minimalistic lifestyle just like you 🤍

[harty]

One of the best things I've ever discovered! I am LOVING minimalism and intentional living; it's helping my stress and anxiety levels so much!

[lanishab]

if I were a cartoon character what would I wear everyday? = key to building your capsule wardrobe 😂

I love how your little dog is just sleeping through it.

By the way I tried on every single piece while sorting my closet out. It helped me immensely, 20% of my things I wanted to keep did not even fit me anymore.
I got some boxes from Ikea and organised everything neatly so when I choose an outfit, I can just grab anything without thinking about it too much.
I also organise according to the seasons since we have winter and summer with crazy and sudden changes, which means I can't pack away my winter stuff, they have to be in reach all the time. I save a lot of space, energy and money with having less and I don't have the feeling of missing out on anything.

[octoberfirefly]

That backwards hanger reminder is a brilliant idea. 💡💕😍

[lizakinz]

I love the idea of building capsule wardrobe .I just find it hard when you're living in 4 seasons.
Purchasing a staple wardrobe that won't go out of style that is clever.
