My entire minimalist wardrobe | all four seasons

Today I’m going to show you the goods.

Typically, when I do videos about my wardrobes I focus on capsules and concepts. For me, understanding the thinking and decision making others employ is what’s most helpful. But, I’ve learned from many of you that sometimes it’s really useful to get the big picture.

With that in mind…let me show you my entire minimalist wardrobe. Every. Last. Piece.

What are the pieces of your wardrobe that you can't live without?

[beebeebopbop]

Thanks for explaning the thought process behind your wardrobe. It is super helpful. I have minimal shoes around 5 pairs but wardrobe is just difficult.

I was very slim at one point and had a lot of clothing from that era. And then i had my prebaby weight, then the postpartum weight. My postpartum clothes are mostly second hand and hand me downs.

And 2 years on ive lost some weight but not down to prebaby. I have way too many boxes of tbd clothes and clothes for when I get pregnant again. It's nuts! So seeing your video is so helpful, thank you so much!

I’ve just come across your channel and I have found it incredibly inspiring❤️thank you so much.

So many gorgeous pieces, and thank you for explaining your thought process behind each one! My favorite pieces of yours are the beautiful linen dress: the square neckline is very becoming! And your denim jacket with so much character. I like how you talk about "forgiving yourself" When I first discovered minimalism, I went with a very neutral "classic minimalist" look, but have since made peace with the fact that I'm an artist at heart and need color and pattern! So I'm now working towards a simple wardrobe that shows more personality. It is an organic, evolving thing!

As a new mom of two little ones I resonate so much with this video. I prefer a capsule, minimal wardrobe as it means less decision fatigue when getting ready in the morning but in this season I’m also having to figure out what works and that means constantly revising what I have in each weather season. Being postpartum for a second time around and now nursing has changed my body a ton so I appreciate your system and what you shared about having grace on yourself as you navigate what you feel best in.

Im really liking your pared down wardrobe, I used to have over 10 coats which I have now reduced to 4, as they were really taking over my wardrobe. My problem is t shirts, but hoping to pare them down this summer.

[mrsbrittanylouu]

I love that linen dress and the striped sweater so much! Ever time you wear it I’m reminded I need to thrift one like it!

[ursulasmedly]

Omg, you are so brave Erika. You’ve done all the work mentally so this is a beautifully curated wardrobe. It translates so well for this season in your life. Well done. I’m so thrilled to be back in the dress/skirt with leggings seasons, myself. xoxo

[lynneeie]

Oh and I do love that black linen dress your mother gave you!! And your long rosy dress... but I absolutely understand your liking florals, but those two give me dress envy 😂 Best again, Lynne

[jennifermcnair]

Thank you for sharing this! I'm expecting my second child and started staying at home with our first child about 2 years. I did not expect how hard it would be to figure out what works clothing wise for this stage of life. It's reassuring to hear that I'm not alone in having to rethink my wardrobe. I also appreciate that while you keep a minimal wardrobe you've made room for things that you love and make a lot of sense for your climate, like jackets! Each jacket gave your outfit a completely different look even though the outfit was otherwise the same. It makes me wonder what in my wardrobe could be both practical for my climate and change up the look of an outfit.

I love the simplicity of your wardrobe ❤ Thank you for showing it to us. Always inspiring. I agree that you need some pij or clothes to relax at home.

[Elsabita]

Thank you for this video! I am attempting to rebuild my wardrobe after being pregnant the past couple years and am trying to figure out how to dress myself again, just like you said! I always appreciate your insight and advice ❤️

Thank you so very much for this video. I love that you showed everything you own. I’ve cut my own wardrobe down to the minimum for my needs and seems about the same as yours too. I love the freedom of such few items that I well and truly love that meet any need, any time, any day. ❤

[firstlast-jsyw]

I am looking into getting beef/chicken from the regenerative farm you mentioned! They were so kind and thorough in answering all my questions, really helped me to understand their practices. I let them know it was your recent video that prompted me to look into their farm❤

[francinehogsett]

I have a very minimal wardrobe….wouldn’t want it any other way 😊❤️lovely video

[lvsmagic]

I'm in the same spot you are irt clothes. My body changes A LOT during my pregnancy (the big stuff like my midsection being forever bigger to my fingers literally going up a size... I didn't even know that was a thing lol). So now I'm in the process of shifting my wardrobe and letting go of what no longer fits this new me.

[KarronAngel]

Your so organised, im still trying with my wardrobe. I have too many what ifs..lol... Thankyou you always for sharing dear friend

[taniayoungson]

Your wardrobe looks very much like mine. There are 4 distinct seasons where I live 🇨🇦, but I still have more than enough clothing in my minimal closet.

I can not live without leggings or dresses! I like floral, but feel like most patterns make me look bigger. So I mostly wear solids. One exception is stripes. I love stripes!!

My body is still changing as I'm growing closer to my menopausal years. My waist and thighs are where I carry my weight. Just like you, I have a hard time finding tops that I feel comfortable wearing, especially if they are a shorter length. I prefer not to tuck in anymore.

I don't have a maybe bin. But I do have maybe 2 dresses that still hang in my closet because I love them even if they don't fit. I hope you are able to wear that lovely pleated skirt again soon.

Have a wonderful Easter!

Thanks for modelling the impact on a wardrobe post-partum. I’m happy with my breastfeeding tops and leggings (plus a denim jacket!) for now but will need to visit my tbd bin and the shops before returning to work

[heathervice]

Man I love those boots. I’m thinking this summer I’m going to rely on dresses and rompers and possibly one pair of high waisted shorts and one pair of flowy black shorts with a few tshirts and tanks like you. I’ll check your dress recommendations! Austin has awesome thrifty solutions so looking fwd to that.
