Nude bra is on my shopping list, haha! Thanks to all, can't believe I haven't thought of this <3

Best quote: "Be honest with yourself." Will I wear it? Do I love it?" Or, is it an impulse or am I thinking of buying it to model someone else? Good advice...makes me think!

After weeks of research and hesitating I've made a break through after watching your videos - I just basically grabbed the best clothes that I love to wear and moved them to a spare wardrobe, creating a basic sectioned capsule wardrobe. Stage one! Thanks Signe.

OMG I have just realized this video is from 5 years ago, I thought it was new, !!!! so timeless pieces you are still on trend, even 5 years later!!!! I am amazed :)

For ladies with more well endowed busts, a crewneck is often the wrong way to go. They actually make everything appear larger and are not particularly flattering in general. A v neck is much better and doesn’t make you look like a large, lumpy wall.

I really like your advice to be honest with yourself when it comes to style. How many times did I buy items I "wished" I would wear and never did. Stick to what works for you and be true to yourself 💜

can you show us how to the tuck shirts in at the front but out everywhere else, and the jean hem roll, anytime i do it looks wrong or untidy

[celsamuniz]

I took two of classes, one of the best decision I have make.
I’m getting so many complements.
Highly recommend,

So glad I found this video! I find the hardest thing about trying to create my own capsule wardrobe is how many dresses, thin pants and skirts people tend to use in my research on how to create a minimal wardrobe- but I only wear jeans too! Thanks so much for us pants wearing people's 💖💖💖

I like the way you’ve curated your wardrobe. It’s very functional and mixable. I am doing good because I already have several of the basics in my closet.

[Zamazizi]

The content is as timeless as you are. I discovered you through your podcast with Alyssa Beltempo and Christina Mychas.

"Be honest with yourself." Best advice!

Ladies, she has a wonderful cool color-based wardrobe, if you are on the warm side (skin, eyes, hair) try to chose warm tones for the upper clothes (instead of gray, taupe, instead of cool white, warm white and so on).

[AsianParisian]

Your wardrobe is exactly the one I was picturing for myself since I started minimalism. I love it, we look 100x more fashionable with this type of out of time quality pieces than we would with any designed, printed, fancy cheap pieces of clothes whatsoever. It depends on your style though, but I used to compulsively buy all sorts of designs Colors and shape when really I’m just always in my marinière and dark thick jeans. I never like to wear my cheap items in the end which is a waste. I’m now getting rid of all those patchwork clothes I never wear, the pinky glittery nails and just focus on the pieces I really love and neutral colours they’re the best ♡

Two years later and your video still comes handy! I'm planning a 3 months trip to Europe and your video has been a huge inspiration to know what I should pack! Thank you! ♥

I think &Other Stories is the best store to look for silk shirts! They have very good quality but not too expensive. I havet really seen any silk blouses in second hand stores, or they are always kinda out of style and not very classic pieces. Btw I love that you post so much more now 💕

[StellavonThun]

So great the way you modelled each category and option! Great capsule.

[ccarolinechristinem]

Thanks to you I have already started my capsule/basic wardrobe and most of my pieces have come from second hand shopping, im currently on the hunt for a leather jacket and some light washed levis jeans wish me luck lol, I plan on applying this method to my childrens wardrobe as well, thank you for all the style love you share, it has really helped with my finances as well as my confidence 💕

Just stumbled across this video and chuckled a bit to myself. I think my closet and yours are very similar... this is actually what my basic wardore looks like except I don't own any dresses or skirts. My color palette consists of black, grey, white, blue, khaki/beige, army green... I thought something bold and interesting like leopard print would just be a great addition. Really awesome video!
