    I'm so glad you mention how our bodies change with age, hormone levels, etc. I honestly feel like, having gone through menopause, that my body had almost as many changes as puberty. Different changes, of course, but still changes. BTW-ditching my heels years ago was a decision my feet, hips and back all think was the best one!

    I used to wear a uniform to work. Then, when I retired, I was short on regular clothes. A friend and my sister gave me some shirts when they cleaned out their closets. (I felt obligated to take them.) I hate clothes shopping but, I shopped and finally found a couple shirts that I like and that fit! I sorted through the hand me downs and donated 7 shirts! Yay! Glad they are gone! Happy dance! (I did keep 2 mediocre hand me downs until I find 2 more that I like but I am proud of myself AND my closet is more manageable!)

    “I have very very high standards for comfort,” that pretty much sums up my whole wardrobe. :)
    A good closet clean out is so refreshing. My space is limited to a 4 foot reach-in closet (no dresser) so I’m probably due for a purge again. Stuff accumulates when I’m not paying attention, and truthfully sometimes it’s hard for me to get rid of the old thing when I get a new thing, thinking of getting the full amount of wears out of something before I get rid of it. Frugality and simple living sometimes work against each other.

    As I watched you I wondered how many pjs do you need? 😜 I've learned that I don't need 10 pjs, 10 workout clothes, 10 leggings, etc. I wash once a week so I have enough to wear without overflowing drawers/closets and making my decisions of what to wear difficult each day. I wear my clothes for 2 days if I haven't gotten them dirty or stinky. Good luck on your capsule wardrobe!! I'm excited to hear all about it!! Thanks for your videos, Robin. Love your enthusiasm.

    Dying during the heel section! 😂😂😂 I keep two to three pairs in my closet for the intention of using some time on a hypthetical special occasion in the future but I absolutely loathe heels as well! I definitely have to see if they actually fit now 🤔 didn’t know that about our feet size as we age….i definitely also have learned to prefer comfort over “the look”….life is too short to be uncomfortable! ❤

    Nude heels are always a classic , however if you go to a party , event etc . Do you really want to be miserable 30 mins into it ? No ditch the uncomfortable shoes spend a bit more money for a classic dressier shoe that is sooo comfy and just think , no more often than you will wear them they can last decades . Major simplification for that part of life ! Something to think about maybe ...love all your videos ! Cant wait to see the capsule wardrobe .

    I have a t- shirt addiction.😫 I can’t help myself if I see cute tees especially if they’re Disney, seasonal or on sale……or better all three. A Disney Christmas tee on sale is magical. I need to declutter and be really diligent and very mindful with what I need and love. It won’t be easy. Socks for me are an easy job. I kept about three pairs and uncluttered the rest. I barely wear socks even in our cold Canadian winters.😂

    • @MinimalistHome
      @MinimalistHome  Месяц назад

      Sounds like you really love certain t-shirts! If you wear them and only keep the ones that fit well and you truly enjoy, it’s all good! But don’t buy them ALL the time…
      Also, I’ve seen quilts made of old tshirts and that’s a cool way of keeping ones you love and don’t wear or fit in anymore.

    I think having heels for a wedding or special event is a good idea. I actually got some fancy slots though that I wore to wedding last time.... I don't think I own heals. 🤔 If I do.... They may be hidden back there. And they are chunky and from highschool. 😂 And maybe don't fit my big mama feet.

      You can make up a uniform. Find a pair of trousers/skirt that you like and get 2-3 in different colours. Get 5 tops, i go mainly plain, that match trousers. And wear it on repeat. I'd a summer and winter option in my last office as no air con, just lighter options for summer. But once its set, i dont change. You need to look smart enough, but you can repeat the same.
