It's so lovely to see someone wearing only dresses. I too only wear dresses and find them so easy to wear all year round in the UK. They are easy to pair with boots, shoes and trainers, and I don't have to try to match tops to bottoms. My stomach can expand and shrink throughout the day, and I still feel comfortable. I never feel over or under dresses and I can just concentrate on enjoying my life. Great video
The complete opposite actually happens when you wear the same outfit day after day. People notice straight away when you are wearing a new outfit. My mother proudly told me she owns 75 jumpers. Then mentioned; you haven’t said anything about my new jumper. My answer; I couldn’t tell it was new. Also I would rather see a outfit of mine worn to death and scruffy then with the ticket still on it x
75 jumpers! 😮 Wow. I agree, I used to buy things in the sale because they were "nice" and "a bargain" but they'd still be hanging with the tag on a year later 🤷♀️ Now, unless it's "love", I don't buy it as I know it won't get worn
I'm surprised how few shoes given you walk places. I consider myself fairly minimal, but gosh you're at a new levels. Think you've lovely style. Newly subscribed :)
Thank you 🩷 Yes I walk everywhere! Both my docs (once I'd broken them in) and my totes sandals are like walking on air, I love them both! The trainers I only wear for the gym or sometimes if I do a coastal walk in summer and sandals wouldn't be safe. Thank you for subscribing 😊
Brilliant idea with the dresses; so true with not having “shirts” bottoms🙄::: absolutely genius 💖💖💖💖love this, and I am not trying to copy you, but would love to have this type of wardrobe, you are awesome 😊 thank you
Goodbye things is a fantastic read! I have read it three times. It was lovely to see the face behind the camera. I live in Canada and also have to dress for four seasons and sometimes all in one day. I am the queen of layering. I have paired things together on a whim that end up being a favorite combo that I wear on repeat. My colleagues used to guess what I was going to wear to work based on my minimal wardrobe and the weather. I never took offense to it at all. They would all be shocked when I got something new. It always seems intrigued them to ask about my lifestyle and some invited me over to help them clear their space.
That is so great that it instigated a conversation about minimalism and that it inspired them to make some changes to their own lives 🩷👍🏻 I really enjoyed goodbye things also. I will do a "meet and greet" style video at some point so you can see the person behind the videos but I have more video ideas than time at the moment 🤣🤦🏻♀️
Great video, and so nice to hear from someone in the UK. I'm new to minimalism, but, like you, I have opted for dresses instead of trousers, which really surprises me. I find they are the best solution for my constantly fluctuating weight, whereas I have trousers in several sizes! I understand what you're saying about clothes wearing out more quickly, but at least they've worn out from proper use, rather than just being thrown in the bin when they're in excellent condition but you've just gone off them.
Wonderful video! I find it so inspiring. I shop way too much because I'm always worried I don't have enough. Videos like this one show me that it's possible to live with very little and that I do in fact have enough. :)
Thank you! 😄 I visited Amsterdam earlier this year for the 1st time and I fell in love with it and can't wait to go back and visit. One of my favourite holidays ever 🙂
Your dresses are really nice! Im a dress person too. The best thing for me is that charity shops are full of barely worn dresses. The only thing Im wondering about is... no wellies?! 😂
I love scouring the charity shops but I rarely buy anything anymore. Most of the ones near me have scrapped the changing room and I like to try mine on before I buy. I don't have wellies as my doc boots do the same job 🙂 I just run them under the bath tap when I get home and they are as good as new! I love my walks, in all weather's and these are brilliant for it. Comfortable, easy to clean and waterproof 🙂
Dresses are great aren't they 😊 I always get tempted by the thin flared capri pants or gym leggings and tshirts etc but everytime I struggle as I need extra shoes to go with them, they are only seasonal or they dig into my tummy etc. I've just learnt now, dresses are my go to and how I can be the most minimal, plus they are so versatile! 👗 🩷
I’m glad to say I beat you in PJ’s category 😂. I don’t own any PJs. I wear normal day clothes at home, then evening after shower I wear robe before I go to bed. I only wear underwear when I’m in bed. I find it’s much more comfortable than wearing PJ’s . I don’t have to drag my clothes with me when I turn around in bed 😂
🤣 If it wasn't for my Daughter, I'd be the same lol. She loves to sleep in my room with me, so pj's are a must at the minute! One day that box will be removed lol 🤣
@@minimalismandmore you could consider comfortable jogging bottoms and tshirt substitutes for the gym, as your night wear? some joggers, especially skinny style ones, look amazing with docs and sandals.
As I don't have a drier, I'd struggle to wash and dry them after the gym and before bed time 👎🙁 I don't mind the couple I have really as they don't take up much space. I've had only 1 set of pj's until recently but got another set as the green pair are getting a bit worn and I don't think they'll last for much longer. I'll probably just have 1 set again then
Hahaha great for me isn't about winning into categories is about just use what I have and be as minimal as possible. Now my things fits into one small Room so I did an amazing transformation but I still enjoy having one collection left and my few memory items from papa and grandmother . I love the journey. I dance so I own many dance clothes but in my normal life only few hahah so i feel. I only put effort into the hobby. I own snake as pet so there are stuff she owns hahaha
"Goodbye Things" is my favorite minimalism book❤ I'm gradually working on lowering the pieces in my wardrobe. I do like the idea of dresses since it's a whole outfit.
New subscriber here. Its a refreshing change to see a UK minimalist and I can say the "Goodbye Things" book really opened my eyes to what is needed etc. I've watched a few of your previous videos today and have taken alot from them so a big thank you to you ❤️. p.s I love your green/ black kaftan, may I ask where it came from? Xx
Thank you for subscribing and I'm glad your enjoying the videos. I bought the kaftan from a company called Cornella kaftan but I've since seen the exact same ones on Temu for 1/3 of the price! They are super soft and comfortable, I wear them around the house sometimes when it's hot and on holiday 🙂
Great video! Thank you so much for sharing. :) I like to wear dresses and long flowy skirts too! I love how you showed everything, not leaving anything out. I also love how well you explained how much of each item you have and your reasons why. It helps people like me to consider what items to keep and what to pass on.
@@minimalismandmore I forgot to ask you a question about the Dr Martins. I had been considering getting myself a pair because of their versatility with outfits. How are they for walking in? I'm trying to find a pair of shoes that go with skirts and dresses that are also easy to clean but I also get really sore arches in my feet from walking kids to school.
@Helikins15 Okay so I *love* them. They are like walking in slippers. I walk miles in them. But.... they were an absolute pain in the ar$e to break in and I got such bad blisters on the heel of both feet and bruises on the top of my feet (by the bottom of the zip area) I was near to binning them regardless of what I'd spent but everyone told me to push through it as once they are broken in they will be lush, and they were right! I walk at an angle so basically my feet tilted to the side and all other shoes I wear away the sole really quickly and they last mere months but I've had these boots for years now. Maybe Google specifically Dc boots and arches to see if anyone else has a more detailed review on that? But I love mine and wouldn't be without them now 🥾🩷
@@minimalismandmore thank you for the information. I have heard they can hurt real bad. Would you happen to know how long it took to break them in? I'm still on the fence. Lol
Thank you 🩷 I wish I could wear long sleeves but I'm really "fussy" when it comes to clothing, the material has to feel "right", I have to cut all of my labels off and I can't wear long sleeves lol. I don't like things tight around my joints, so elbows, wrists, knees, ankles etc 🤣 I have to make do with a cardigan and even then I push my sleeves away from my wrists lol 🤷♀️🤣
My sister is like that! Will complain masses about being cold, but hates more than 2 layers, regardless even in the snow. I get it. It feels like you're being trapped or strangled.
@@minimalismandmore I have been changing my clothing and the rest over the last year to enhance my comfort over fashion, but still somewhat fashionable lol. I've seen parents wear YikYak dungarees and keep considering them.
It's all trial and error, I've bought a few outfits thinking I'll love them and then not. I'm pretty sure years ago I ordered a yikyak dress but returned it as I was fussing over the length so knew I wouldn't keep it lol
Hello, I am so inspired by your content. How long did it take to get you to this place in your minimalist journey. I so want to simplify but the struggle is real. However you have given me goals to strive for. Very inspiring and informative. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing! As an American living in Europe in weather similar to the UK, I have a tough time with laundry without a clothes dryer. Could you share your laundry routine in detail and how you make it work with so little clothes? We don't have a lot of clothes and it takes forever to get the clothes, bedsheets & towels dry as it is almost always rainy here. I don't know how people did it back in the day! We are a family of 5 with a toddler. I also only wear dresses, I'm glad I finally found a minimal wardrobe with only dresses. Also, if/when one has so little to wash, do you wash it by hand so as not to waste water and electricity & be more efficient? But then without a dryer it takes forever to dry!
You're welcome. I do washing twice a week normally plus my bedding and towels and I dry my clothes in my spare room on washing lines I have hung up with hooks and I also use a dehumidifier. They dry in half a day normally 😊 If you watch my spare room tour it will explain it and my entire house tour to see the changes I've made to the washing lines 😊👍🏻
I love your videos especially this one. As I am a minimalist mom as well, I wondered if you are going to share your daughters wardrobe. My toddler and I share a closet and have an even amount of items. I enjoy seeing minimalist moms on youtube
She has given me permission to show her room briefly but she doesn't want me to go through the stuff in depth like I do mine. She is 10 now so I always ask her permission and opinion if it involves her 🙂 I will briefly show her clothes when I do her room 🙂 She has a closet the same size as mine and does have more than me but not much to be honest. Most of hers is her school uniform
Thank you 😊 Don't stress, it's easily done and easily rectified 🩷 A tip I used when paring down is to give myself a set time frame, box up what I think I don't need and re visit it after that date to see if I needed anything in it. Another tip is to turn the hanger the wrong way around after you've worn something and then after a certain time frame, anything on a hanger facing the other way gets removed as it's unworn? Good luck 🩷
The box sounds like a great idea. Thank you 🙂. I will also look into making my items work for all our seasons as I loved your example! I remember the school run weather 😂 I home educate my daughter now and I love looking out and feeling relieved I don’t have to go out in it lol, one of the perks.
Thank you 😊 My advice would be to concentrate on your own inventory just to begin with. Leading by example and setting the wheels in motion is a great catalyst for change. And a little decluttering a day adds up 🩷 Sometimes it seems too daunting if we look at the bigger picture? Remember too, there are different levels of minimalism, find the level that works for you and your family Good luck with your minimalism journey 🩷
Thank you. I just wear my pj's, so jogging bottom type trousers and a tshirt and my dressing gown. Sometimes I'll wear the kaftans if it's hot as they are super comfy too
@@minimalismandmore Thank you. I watched the video again. I have a few more questions🤗 Do you work from home (don't go to the office)? How long ago did you come to this minimal amount of clothing? Were you sad that you got rid of the jewelry? Sometimes I feel sorry for giving away my jewelry and things
I've been dwindling it down for a long time now but I held on to my "just in case" items for ages. That made the biggest difference when I removed them. I'm not working at the moment but I have previously worn dresses like the ones I own now in an office but just with ballet flat style shoes. And other jobs I've had included a uniform. I used to collect acrylic jewellery and some pieces I paid hundreds of pounds on and I lost so much £ when I sold them but the relief when they were finally all sold was immense and totally worth it. It played on my mind a lot when they were in my home that I'd wasted so much money on them and no longer wore them
I have 50 denier tights for the Spring/Autumn time when they are needed and 80 denier for the Winter. I used to have 120 denier but I found I didn't need them often. If it gets really cold I will wear 2 pairs of tights to make 130 but I've only done this once before that I can recall 🙂
Hi, thanks for video. Can I ask, when you started to get rid of alot of clothes items what did you do with them? As I find it hard to part with clothing that I don't wear anymore, as I may have loved it once & worn it alot a few years ago but then I stopped for whatever reason so it's just stored for just incase. I can't get past this so I have way too many clothes.😂 Half of which I don't wear but they remind me of phase in my life that was good or cost me alot so I'm reluctant to get rid but I need more space for the things I do wear now. Any tips on parting with clothing?
To be honest, parting with clothing has never been an issue for me. I happily donate them to clothing banks or charity shops, even things I've paid a lot for. I love the feeling of passing on an item so it can be used and enjoyed by someone else. Especially people who may be in need of them. The few things I struggled with, I did sell on ebay. Try and remember that memories aren't stored in clothing and you can always look back on photos of you wearing them to remember the good times and by making the space you are making room for your future 🩷 Maybe try and sell the things you are really struggling with and use the money for something you'd otherwise not be able to afford or donate the clothing/profits to a charity that means something to you so that not only have the clothes given you joy when you had them, but also when you passed them on? Good luck with it and small steps are still progress 💪🩷

And a little decluttering a day adds up 🩷 Sometimes it seems too daunting if we look at the bigger picture? Remember too, there are different levels of minimalism, find the level that works for you and your family Good luck with your minimalism journey 🩷
Hi 💜 I'm delighted with your wardrobe. Super minimalism. What do you wear at home (what kind of home clothes)?
Thank you. I just wear my pj's, so jogging bottom type trousers and a tshirt and my dressing gown. Sometimes I'll wear the kaftans if it's hot as they are super comfy too
@@minimalismandmore Thank you. I watched the video again. I have a few more questions🤗 Do you work from home (don't go to the office)? How long ago did you come to this minimal amount of clothing? Were you sad that you got rid of the jewelry? Sometimes I feel sorry for giving away my jewelry and things
I've been dwindling it down for a long time now but I held on to my "just in case" items for ages. That made the biggest difference when I removed them. I'm not working at the moment but I have previously worn dresses like the ones I own now in an office but just with ballet flat style shoes. And other jobs I've had included a uniform. I used to collect acrylic jewellery and some pieces I paid hundreds of pounds on and I lost so much £ when I sold them but the relief when they were finally all sold was immense and totally worth it. It played on my mind a lot when they were in my home that I'd wasted so much money on them and no longer wore them
I just counted out of curiosity, and we have the exact same number of items. Seriously, we are twins lol.
🤣 it is crazy how similar we are lol
Do you wear fleece tights in the winter or is it a pair of leggings?
I have 50 denier tights for the Spring/Autumn time when they are needed and 80 denier for the Winter. I used to have 120 denier but I found I didn't need them often. If it gets really cold I will wear 2 pairs of tights to make 130 but I've only done this once before that I can recall 🙂

Hi, thanks for video. Can I ask, when you started to get rid of alot of clothes items what did you do with them? As I find it hard to part with clothing that I don't wear anymore, as I may have loved it once & worn it alot a few years ago but then I stopped for whatever reason so it's just stored for just incase. I can't get past this so I have way too many clothes.😂 Half of which I don't wear but they remind me of phase in my life that was good or cost me alot so I'm reluctant to get rid but I need more space for the things I do wear now. Any tips on parting with clothing?
To be honest, parting with clothing has never been an issue for me. I happily donate them to clothing banks or charity shops, even things I've paid a lot for. I love the feeling of passing on an item so it can be used and enjoyed by someone else. Especially people who may be in need of them. The few things I struggled with, I did sell on ebay. Try and remember that memories aren't stored in clothing and you can always look back on photos of you wearing them to remember the good times and by making the space you are making room for your future 🩷 Maybe try and sell the things you are really struggling with and use the money for something you'd otherwise not be able to afford or donate the clothing/profits to a charity that means something to you so that not only have the clothes given you joy when you had them, but also when you passed them on? Good luck with it and small steps are still progress 💪🩷
What do you wear around the house when you’re cleaning, cooking, etc? The reason I ask is because this is the problem I would have. Thanks.
Too boring for me
And you felt the need to comment!!!! Why? No one cares or wants to hear what you find boring. I personally find it rude.
@@melaniegodwin8791 don’t put crap out there if you don’t want a persons feedback
Hey that's fine. It takes all kinds for the world to go around. For me, the boring-ness soothes my adhd mind, and I am a lifelong artist and clutterbug lol

@@kathyesargent9088 I don't think she ask for your feedback. Just because there is a video posted dosent mean she needs your negative feedback. Like my mom used to say, If you don't have something productive to say, DONT SAY ANYTHING AT ALL
