TEN ITEM 🤯 Summer Capsule Wardrobe (decluttered 90% of my closet)

[MadisunGray]

Just curious..what is your perceived biggest obstacle to a smaller wardrobe? And what is the greatest benefit?

Thank for for watching today’s video and for subscribing! ❤️

[gemmablackburn]

One of my biggest obstacles is accepting when I've made a mistake by purchasing something that just doesn't work out (doesn't fit well or wears quickly, not my style, etc.) I have a tendency to hold onto these items longer than I should as I feel so guilty about it! I think I need to give myself a little more grace...! Love all your videos. X

For me, I have clothes to work out in, clothes for hiking, rainy weather, work clothes, lounge clothes. I've tried the 10 item wardrobe, and while it's a nice idea it does not fit my lifestyle. But boy, sure wish it did. Thanks for the video!

[HoffmansHouse]

I’m dying for an updated version of this!!

[bernadettevogel]

My biggest obstacle is buying for my fantasy self or for those special events that don’t happen all that much.

[emilyanschuetz]

Your 10 item wardrobe is the reason I subscribed to your channel and since subscribing I have learned so much more about slow living. As a minimalist, the typical “closet clean out” videos on YouTube never appealed to me because of the mountains of clothes that were still around at the end of the video. I like to keep my wardrobe pretty small but I still struggle with getting rid of the last 5%, as I’ve heard it being called. Your 10 item wardrobe videos continue to be my favorite and I am inspired to make it the next goal in my minimalism journey!

Loved everything Madisun. Having a capsule wardrobe means I only wear what I absolutely love and don’t spend forever trying to decide what to wear every day 💕

[capturedbyannamarie]

Love! My biggest obstacle is wanting all the things, and the greatest benefit I have found is that it’s so freeing having your closet and drawers not stuffed full. About to do my summer 10 item wardrobe! So fun that this popped up right before.

[sarar]

Ive just recently found your channel (and subscribed), and ten item wardrobe. Im decluttering my wardrobe, and folding my clothes instead of hanging them - 55 spare hangers later and still going. Your videos are making me think about my clothes, your 10 items are completely different in shape colour etc, I now realise I don’t need 4 tops of the same colour - just because I like that colour, nor do I need to have 6 pairs of black trousers. I want to look in my wardrobe and feel happy instead of overwhelmed by choice. Thank you for your inspiration x

[stephaniemaurer]

For me the benefits are less....less laundry, less money spent, less time wasted shopping, less frustration when it doesn't look the way I thought it would. The obstacle is I adore color and so its hard to mixy matchy with less clothes when you love color (at least for me it is)

[amandamorris]

Loving those dresses! My biggest obstacle with keeping my wardrobe small, is We have four very distinct seasons, and wonky temperature changes in spring and fall....

[hcole]

My biggest obstacle in having a smaller wardrobe is not having enough variety. However, the greatest benefit is it forces me to have perspective between what is actually necessary and what is a fantasy/want. This allows me to look at other aspects of my life(schedule, home, relationships) and determine what helps me become the best version of myself to me and to others.

[dandian]

Madisun, I would aboslutely LOVE a video of your favorite brands for clothing. All of your outfits are so wholesome and look so comfy! Please Let us in on your secret.
Thanks!

[jenniferb]

My biggest obstacle is the different types of clothing: work, weekends, and loungewear (also athletic wear). I'm not sure how to incorporate 10 items that fulfill all those categies.

[anabanana]

I wear the same 3 outfits every day lol. I own about 50 pieces of clothing which is pretty limited IMO. I live in Canada so it’s pretty cool that I can do that. Definitely going to refine my closet a bit further

[ziggymarleymarley]

I'm enjoying your posting consistency and relate so much to your content, keep posting !

[alishajennings]

When I was a child I did not realize I was in a low income family. But we oy got clothes once a year and it was at back to school season. We got 5 pants, 5 shirts, and 1 pair of shoes. That was it. No dresses, no shorts/skirts, no sandals, nothing extra. I loved it and thought I had a ton of clothes lol.

[ultrafinepoint]

You’re inspiring me so much! I have a fairly minimal wardrobe (about 40 pieces for the whole year) and my house is pretty minimal, but your content has been helping me narrow down what I actually use for my real everyday life and there’s so much excess, from my clothes to my son’s toys to our kitchen stuff, that I have been keeping around for too long.

[shellbell]

I don't buy into the "if it doesn't fit get rid of it" rule either. I put on some weight and continued to buy clothes in my skinny size; as it was a commitment to myself to get back to my former shape. And I did it - and I'm so happy that I didn't accept my larger size and chose to do something about it. I also believe if you really love something, even if you hardly ever wear it; don't throw it away. One day you may get another piece that looks amazing with it. Don't follow rules over your gut.

The greatest benefit to a smaller wardrobe, I think, is not having to think about it too much - makes it so much easier! Curious to know if you keep items that you don’t necessarily want for the present season to use for other seasons, etc - I know Jennifer does this even though she might not choose it for her current 10 items as she selects a few new pieces then. As a minimalist, I know this gets tricky as clothes start to accumulate, but I love the idea of getting a few new items and letting some of the others go (I guess my question is decluttering items that no longer work for you vs. items that may work in favor of something new). Love your two new linen items!
