My Minimalist Wardrobe

foreign the key to building a perfect minimalist  wardrobe is knowing that there is no such thing   when I first started downsizing my closet  I decluttered way too much and as a result   I felt like I had nothing to wear and I  was always on the hunt to fill in the gaps   it's a lot of pressure and it takes a lot of  effort to upkeep a perfectly curated wardrobe   because life happens our clothes wear out  our weight fluctuates we change our mind   our lifestyles and sometimes we might  fall back in love with our old pieces   so over time I became more flexible on this idea I  have gotten rid of so many items that just didn't   make sense but I'm holding on to those maybe items  a little bit longer I have a solid collection of   Basics but I have a little more than a handful of  fun pieces to experiment with I still try to keep   things simple and minimal but I don't obsess  about the number of items in my closet and now   I feel like I have a full collection of carefully  picked out pieces for all kinds of life situations   so you might be wondering what does a flexible  minimalist wardrobe look like well let me show you let's start with the basic tops  these are the building blocks to   my outfits so I have a variety  of textures Styles and lengths   as you guys can see most of my pieces are neutral  earthy tones with a handful of accent colors   and patterns so it's really easy to combine and  create many different outfits since I wear mostly   high-waisted pants I have a lot of crop tops  because I think they pair really nicely I also   have a good amount of tank tops because I wear  them all year round and I noticed that they get   worn out very quickly if I like a specific style  I'll try to get the same one in a different color   for some reason I never reach for t-shirts so I  got rid of most of them and only have this one now   for colder days I have three long sleeves  one black one brown mock neck and a taupe   color bodysuit there were all three of them  on their own or wear them as my base layer when I meet up with a friend have lunch with  my in-laws travel or just feel like dressing   up a little bit more than usual I'll reach for  these tops this is the category where I feel   like I can experiment with the colors and  patterns and just be a little bit more bold   as you can tell I love big sleeves Bohemian  prints and fabrics that feel light and Airy   I love every single one of these pieces and I  know that I will love them even more over time I have two button-up shirts  one in White and the other in   an oatmeal color which is a little  bit thicker they are so practical   for transitioning from day to night and I  also wear them at the beach as a cover-up when it's cold outside my go-to outfit is jeans  with a chunky sweater or a cardigan and they   come in really handy when I visit my family in  the midwest during the cold Winters they're all   different in Silhouettes and in thickness and it's  nice to have that variety for different seasons I have three different jackets one for daytime one   for going out at night and one  quilted one for colder weather   oh and my husband and I share two coats as  well but they live in his side of the closet moving on to my bottoms specifically my jeans I  have three that I wear in rotation and one stored   away because my weight fluctuates all three of  them are from Levi's and they have different fits   my most worn is probably my  high-waisted straight ankle one   I have it in both stonewash blue and  in white and to mirror my jeans I have   three shorts one in white one in light  Denim and another one a little bit darker most of the time I live in my linen  pants and shorts I love how easy and   light it feels which is very important to me  as someone who prioritizes Comfort over fashion   other bottoms that I have are my  leopard print satin skirt and my   all-time favorite long Bohemian skirt  from schwa that I've had for years dresses are probably my favorite category  I love them because it's so easy to put   on and when I do I instantly feel a little bit  more dressed up I have two short linen dresses   for Maxi and MIDI one rib tank dress and one long  sleeve dress both of them as a gift from my sister I really try to keep my activewear simple   three leggings Four Tops three  sports bras not shown two shorts   my favorite Pink Floyd shirt a matching sweatpants  set from Maurizio which I love to lounge around in   for sleepwear I have my green PJ set for colder  nights and my pink silk one for Summer Nights last but not least let me show you my accessories  shoes and other miscellaneous things in my closet   I have three everyday bags one for going out one  for every day and the black crossbody to walk the   dogs or to travel recently I added a sturdier  wicker bag and I love this for going to the   farmer's market or to carry around my heavy  camera gear I used to wear my fanny pack all   the time and I still have it but I haven't been  wearing it since moving to Portugal I'm keeping   it for now but I am thinking of giving it away to  my mom or my sister foreign for shoes I have six   different pairs three sandals one pair of Chelsea  boots running shoes and everyday walking shoes   I grew through my shoes very quickly because I'm  heavy footed and now walking on these cobblestones   definitely wear them out a lot quicker because  I don't have a lot of closed toe shoes I only   have three socks I realize that this is not a  typical minimalist closet but it's the one that's   been carefully planned out to work for me and my  lifestyle and with these pieces I feel like I can   create so many different outfits for all various  occasions if you made it this far into the video   thank you and let me give you some tips that might  be helpful to curate your own minimalist wardrobe tip number one is choose a color palette that  suits you this will allow you to easily pick your   base color your accent color and patterns so every  piece in your wardrobe can be interchangeable   use this as a simple guide and plan it before you  declutter tip number two if you have the space   hold on to your maybe items pile a little bit  longer and you can shop from there periodically   avoid decluttering too much all at once so you  don't feel like you have big gaps in your closet   tip number three is to look at your calendar what  does your day-to-day really look like and use this   as a guide to curate your wardrobe realistically  my day consists of walking my dogs going to school   going on casual dates working and working out  from home so this is what my closet reflects   tip number four the most sustainable closet is  not one that's full of sustainable Brands but   it's being able to wear your clothes for  years to come loving them repairing them   carefully collecting pieces over time last but  not least tip number five determine how much   time and money you really want to dedicate for  clothes I mean I decided that this is the area   of my life where I don't want to pay that much  attention at all especially I didn't want it   getting in the way of experiencing all the other  beautiful aspects of life so having a functional   smart wardrobe allowed me to do that and I think  this is what minimalist wardrobe is all about   I hope you guys liked today's video I hope  that I give you some good ideas to start   building your own minimalist wardrobe let me  know in the comments if you have any tips I   would love to hear it and until next time guys  take care and I'll talk to you very soon bye
