After watching your wardrobe inventory video last year I went and counted my clothing items and I did it again this year as well. Last year was close to 200 items and what stuck out then were dormant items I had for years that I've never and will never wear. They sort of dragged down the sentiment I had towards my wardrobe, so I found people to give them away to. Next inventory the count was about 160 and what stuck out this time were items that i held on to but couldn't fit in anymore. The current count should now be closer to 120 and it feels much better, with everything having space to breathe.
I have a spring/summer wardrobe in a hard suitcase which I interchange with my Autumn/Winter wardrobe. I have some all year T-shirts short and long sleeve. I have alot of items for occasional use. I work every day of the week and for work my clothes are restricted for practicality, so my good stuff only comes out on holiday or nights/days out. I go through my wardrobe twice a year and charity shop or give to friends. Everything else I am happy to keep keeping.
I daren’t! I counted all my handbags and that was frightening enough - there were over sixty…you are so inspiring though, I might have to do another round of ruthless decluttering. I decluttered my trousers recently and it feels great!
I loved hearing you basically say "these all look the same but they're different to me" - which I think is noticeable from your minimalism video a week ago. It's nice to hear you sounding self-assured and happy with your choices!
Your wedding outfit doubles as your funeral outfit and I’m here for that!! Love your collections. Almost 43 and still searching for my personal style. These videos help me tremendously. It’s really about the confidence to be who you are. Cheers from Kingston ON!
I love how much you have narrowed down your wardrobe to items that you know you FEEL so good in. I remember watching last years videos, and it’s cool to see how much more happier you are with your clothing pieces! Love all the jeans too! 🖤
Inspiring. I had a college roommate who was a ruthless editor of her own closet. She kept a basket in the bottom of her closet. If a garmet was not worn within a year, out it went to donation or resale. I have never been so disciplined. A recent 15 lbs weight loss has me rethinking everything now that I'm almost beyond the reach of the skinny end of my closet. Thank you.
Never declutter that camel blazer. It looks SO good on you. Love your style Christina. It's so different from mine but really fun to see you thriving in such a fab set of items.
I don’t think the actual number of clothing in our wardrobe matters, but what an inspiration to see your closet holding only the clothing which you love and regularly wear. This video was the perfect followup after your recent declutter video. We’ve never met, yet I’m so darn proud of you! Thank you for showing us that a comfortable wardrobe, being debt free, and true confidence really is a side effect from doing all the hard “inside” work. It’s slow progress and not a one and done, 10-step process. Nicely done, I’m thrilled to have watched your journey. PS your videography is also a whole other level. 💜
Yahoo! I was waiting for an updated inventory! Really enjoyed it. I'm glad you're in a better place with it and feeling content. I keep a running digital inventory, and I find it really helpful for decluttering and figuring out what my actual style is. I also have a ton of "different to me" almost-duplicates, and actual duplicates in black + grey, so I really understand that! Current total (not including pjs/items listed on Poshmark/items in no-pile) : -80 Heaviest categories : -sweaters (only 1 knit) -tees -jackets -denim -Rebecca Minkoff bags Theme : -black/grey/white/denim (+ 4 items with actual colour, lol) Fave denim: -Levi's wedgie -Denim Forum yoko Combo most grabbed : -black tee/jeans -all black tee/leggings/blazer -leggings/baggy sweater or fleece -always layered rings and necklaces to keep my basic style more interesting! Thanks again for the inspo, loving the new content and mentality!
Wowwww ! 93 pieces for the four seasons is a very wise number (not too much, definitively; not too little either). I think you did a great job in decluttering your closet and reached your essentials. It's a great inspiration. Congrats!!!
I have discovered that my wardrobe is filled with stuff I have brought from following you tube influencers essential list of thing every fashionable woman should wear. Or how to dress like chic “French” woman. Suffice it to say that this created wardrobe mess and intense style confusion. I think I have finally figured out why there is so much confusion and now I can repair this mess. I like boots only. I like a simple one piece with a v neckline. I like dresses but none of those flowy and puffy sleeve type that had bought. I don’t like button down shirts, but I own at least 30 in various colors in cotton, viscose and silk. I actually wear my sweater dresses in a variety of bold colors with my black blazers and black boots for winter and fall while I discovered the universal standard v neck Geneva dress for the summer that I wore everyday . For special occasions I have some slip dresses that I wear with a blazer or duster cardigan. I am glad I figured this out. I admire jeans on other but not on me. I just brought trousers three weeks ago that I don’t enjoy even if they are comfortable. I am learning to let go of what I keep believing that I am suppose to wear because you tube said so, and wear what makes me feel like myself. My next step is to count my items that I love on me. Key word is “me” and not other people. Thanks for a great video. You have been one of four RUclips influencers that have really helped me understand my closet issues. Please keep sharing your journey!
You look happy with each item--like you love and appreciate it, instead of feeling that it's a burden taking up your space and time and energy. Your videos actually inspired me to go through my wardrobe a few days ago and let go of more items that didn't support me and bring me as much joy as I thought, and then I let myself feel appreciation for each item I kept. I started thanking each item I kept for the different features it had and how it made me feel. Haven't finished that process, and I still might, but the mindset shift is there anyway.
Girl, I have 74 items in my closet, and I'm STILL trying to bring that number down! Thank you so much for sharing. I appreciate your openness and putting the focus on the clothes we LOVE to wear on repeat that shows our individual styles. I've been reading Project 333, and have put away the rest of my items for the challenge!
Your video with Ivanka really inspired me to further declutter my wardrobe - I’m down to 82 pieces that I love and wear and I’m sure I could go further - you have really helped to curb my shopping habit - I’ve only bought a handful of intentional pieces since last July xx
As someone that never has anything to wear... this inspired me to count all 300 of my pieces .. I had no idea.. now I'm looking at this pile like who putting this mess away!
So I found your channel a couple of days ago and I want to just thank you holy for showing me it's totally fine to have a basic wardrobe. It's always been something I've felt self conscious about weirdly? I always wear the same thing I know what I'm comfortable with and I'll try to buy trendy things or different things and then just never wear them. So thank you! Also it's so fun because you have the same style as me so you've shown me so many brands I never knew about for those basics I only wear. Love your channel!!
So glad! I feel you with the pressure to make a wardrobe more “interesting”. I think we honour ourselves and what we like by sticking to just that! Enjoy it! ❤️
You have a beautiful wardrobe, and the amount sounds just right! I have around 80 items that i rotate seasonally so each a season I have around 30-40 items. And I consider it minimal! 😊😊
Whilst I’m a vegan and obviously don’t wear leather/wool/down, I think that that’s an amazing wardrobe! So stylish and simple. The number doesn’t matter as long you’re not overwhelmed or have a lack .
The previous - trying on all of my clothes video - was one of my absolute faves on your channel and I rewatched it about 50 times for decluttering inspo 😍 Thank you for bringing us even more inspiration with this video ❤️ I really want to start trying on all of my clothes and declutter them but it’s 7pm in the UK already 😃 I have been following you since the first Low Buy video and it’s so amazing to see your growth! Lots of love from Jana ♥️
Good job! All the basics covered 98 pieces is impressive! I find that when I pare my wardrobe down it’s easier to get dressed and I appreciate, love and care for the pieces I do have, as opposed to trying keep a store’s worth of options in tip-top shape! So whatever I’m wearing looks better because it’s properly steamed and de-linted. Love your red Canada Goose! Going to have to start looking for one myself!
Just watched your 2020 video and this one back-to-back, and I’m so struck by how much you’ve grown in self-compassion. Maybe also vlogging style, but you just seem so much clearer & more satisfied 🤍 I love to see it!!!
The number is dangerous, if you are the kind of person that is competitive with yourself then you could easily start removing items you love just to hit some pointless target set by someone else, for 4 seasons you have enough, not too much and it works for you so it’s perfect xx
This is so true; I’ve watched a few vids where the Channel insists a capsule wardrobe = X number of items (too few for most ladiez!) and so people give up because they can’t get to that number and feel good about their wardrobe. What a revelation of practicality and peace is Christina’s approach? ☺️
Love that your fav jeans are your mums!!! Some of my favourite pieces I have are from my moms closest also! Denim Shirt, utility jacket, and beige leather purse! 😍
Great reflection after a year of decluttering Christina! I've used capsule wardrobe during different seasons and haven't counted all my clothing recently but it is likely 50-70% less than 5 years ago when I shopped ALL the time!
You've really honed your style over the course of your channel. Yes, keep the white pants! you look awesome in them, and they are a chic switch on always black on bottom white on top. They are wintery chic!
Congratulations on getting it down to a wardrobe you love! I'm down to 115 items for the categories you covered and I'm still paring down. I've been doing minimalism for a year now. It's so fun to get it down to the lowest number that is comfortable for you and to discover what you really love. It's helped me really discover what I love wearing!
Love love love all of your choices 👏 please keep the things that once belonged to your parents, even if they don't fit you perfectly. And I'm so glad you kept the blazers!!! Your shoe collection- lit! 🤩 everything seems super authentic 👍
Way to go with your inspiring video. I usually do seasonal purges. But I like your idea of trying them all on, in the mirror, how do they feel and make you feel. I’d say the one piece you are missing is a classy black skirt, you can pull it off, Legs! Yes, I’m calling you legs. They sell some classy styles at H&M. One of my friends suggested, to get used to skirts, wear one a month, then once every 2weeks, then once a week, plus they’re super feminine. Just my 2 cents, I enjoy your videos.
Way to go minimizing your wardrobe to what is serving you the best! It's inspiring for me to watch you on your journey and you show different ideas and things that I could consider for myself. I was going through my stuff months ago. I'm categorizing and trying to get everything into one EPIC sorting areas for clothes, shoes and accessories. I have mountains of clothes and items that are daunting to me. Brand new clothes that I brought home after leaving my storage unit last month. Clothes that are old, yet barely worn that were sitting in my closet literally collecting dust and MORE clothes still in an epic amount of boxes that I sent home from NYC when I left there 6 years ago! I have to deal with these clothes now little by little because very few of them are serving me as they are packed away. I'm looking forward to rehoming them so they are not weighing me down in life anymore. Anyway, thanks for sharing your updated wardrobe. I'm happy that you are loving your wardrobe 💜
well, I know at one time i had over 60 tee shirts. I am very lucky that people seem to give me clothes and I love having such a choice every morning on what to wear. I love your collection of jeans. I know I have 3 pairs really old; which I can hardly get into; but not giving up on them. Thank you for a great videox
Dear Christina i live your style😍 especially your blue jeans and the white tops without sleeves. And white tshirts. Whata great that it seems to work for an older woman like me. Wish I could find jeans with that great blue colour, makes me think of sea or mountain lake, I have never came across such a beautiful color on jeans.
I like your wardrobe. I had a little chuckle when you showed all the various black tops. I like coats, so I enjoyed that section. Your mum’s jeans fit you so well and they look solid.
Hello Christina, I am glad that you have not thrown away everything. You have to have enough clothes to get the washing machine full and to have a bit of choice in the weather and mood. After 3-4 years of minimalisums I realize that more clothes saves time. I don't have to constantly think about how to combine things and how to manage washing. And another thing .... people already notice if you wear the same thing all the time. I don't want to be pitied as the miser or the poor.
Your current wardrobe is great! Not too large, but has a variety of things you love. It is so YOU! Mission accomplished. Thanks for trying so much on, you must have been tired by the end.I would keep the white pants for variety. I also love that you kept the plaid blazer. It is a beauty.
Good for you. You have managed to focus in and create a wardrobe that works for you without feeling like you have too much. I’m so happy to see you enjoying just being yourself!
I used to buy the oversized thin hoops from Mejuri (£250) and when I wanted to declute it, a gold store near my house offered me £50. I was in a real shock. I followed many minimalism and many of them advertised for Mejuri, that's why I bought it. Hope my comment help someone who think they invest the right thing but It not really. By the way, I love the content of your video.
Wow, I can hear the satisfaction and happiness with your wardrobe In your voice! 🥰. Every single piece is “you” and no wondering “why is that there?”. Selection with intention👍🏻👏🇨🇦
Was about to make an impulse purchase and then I came to your channel. Your videos always help keep me motivated to be grateful for the clothes I already own and keep going with my low-buy 😊
I've gotten down to 150 items (clothes, pjs, activewear, shoes, coats - not including accessories, socks, or undies), and I'm really happy with it. I might try out more fluid seasonal capsules next year and just try to maintain this number.
I am so impressed!! I’ve been with you on the same journey since your start. Unfortunately, my numbers are hovering around 430. If i could rid myself of skirts & dresses my numbers might be half that. Still working through things.
I love how you have hand me downs from both your mom and dad ❤️ I have also come to the conclusion I’m a jeans girl and no qualms because I wear everything I own.
Wow, I love this current version of your wardrobe! I've been watching since the beginning and can really see how the evolution & curation process have had a positive change! Very inspiring. My favorite items are: your wedding outfit & the new Acne Studios leather. Oh, also the bloomer fit trousers! I love that you don't have any skirts, dresses or rompers/playsuits. You are really owning your own style now!
I love your videos Christina! You inspire me to try to minimize the amount of clothes that I own (and never wear the majority of). I appreciate that you don't limit yourself to extreme levels to where you only have a few pieces of clothing to wear. I am so glad I found your channel this year and look forward every week to viewing your new content. You are such an inspiration on so many topics - Happy Thanksgiving!
Cooool lol. I love how organised you are with your closet (mentally as well). Its really satisfying for the inner ocd human deep deep inside of me lol you sure are working hard and we see it💕🌼
Wow so much less than last time! And your personal style comes through so much more strongly. The only thing that seemed unusual to me were the ballet flats. I love a suit as a wedding outfit! Great video :)
Love all your videos but especially loved this video! Love your style and this video inspired me to do a much needed inventory of my closet too. thoroughly impressed with the work that must’ve gone into linking all of the items- much appreciated!
I vaguely remember watching your 1st closet inventory this year. You had a LOT of jeans. I feel like from what you've shown you've really edited things down. I might make a closet inventory for 2022. I've been in the process of working on a healthier lifestyle which has helped me lose weight. I've been slacking off a bit so I've plateued but I want to get back to it and lose some more weight. As I do I want to minimize my wardrobe significantly. Until the time comes that I do lose more weight though, I just don't have the heart to declutter my closet any further. My clothes are still in such good condition. I've had some of them for so long and I really enjoy them... even the pieces that don't get much wear. It may be interesting to see how the numbers stack up throughout the year as I lose weight and minimize my wardrobe even more.
Hi Christina, I would keep the white jeans, nice lighter colour option and you can still mix and match with it loads. Also the black Fly mules, I wore mine loads in spring and Autumn this year 🥰
Loving it, so inspired to keep paring down my wardrobe. You've motivated me to sell my lovely, burgandy leather jacket which I don't wear because of the colour (I've gone grey and blonde, and it doesn't suit me anymore :( ) BUT I will swap it out for a black one. Depop here I come. Also thanks for sharing where you got some of your pieces, especially your blazers. I feel like nice blazers are so hard to find. As always, love your content :)
Ooh I was going to ask off the back of this video if you're up for doing a "what I would wear to..." - It was fab to see what you would wear to a wedding with a minimalist wardrobe, especially as your style is a lot casual (so is mine). But also maybe other fancier events like parties or dates etc... Aside f
Yes! You got the Acne moto and its super grand you found it secondhand! Glad to see you kept the Gucci slides and the Chloe boots too! Well curated 'drobe!!
I loved this. Absolutely loved. How do you start a wardrobe inventory? Spreadsheet? Photos? Trying everything on? I don’t even know where to start! Also, this makes me feel better about having a variety of the same kind of top if it’s something I love and wear frequently 😊
I have not completely "counted" but I have one dresser and 50 hangers in my closet, so I do try to stay within those confines. That said--I have two entire BASKETS of sentimental clothing at the top of my closet, and I'm very impressed that your collection is so well honed! I was insulating the attic and spray painting a winter "cat house" for the strays today and I always am a bit happy to have some "work clothes" that are loved items that just don't make the everyday wardrobe cut. Hence the sentimental baskets :) Almost all of my stretched out and ancient band t-shirts and weird looking or out of style (but cozy) jeans end up there. I find you very inspiring! I like your style and your habits. I also am a huge fan of duplicates in a similar style, or of the exact same piece if it's something I wear to death.
Great Job! Amazing wardrobe. Thats very inspiring. Thank you 😀❤ I also counted once, it was 150 or something... i am constantly working on it... i have to count it again
I don't know if it's too much for most people but I'd be interested to see more detailed videos like trying on all your white tees and explaining how the fit and material is different, same for black tees, denim...
I just looked over my wardrobe inventory that I did just now in May 2021 and I had 258 items 😵 Not including workout, lounge, pajamas, underwear or accesories, but still! Wow.. Gonna do another one as soon as possible, because I know I've decluttered a lot since then. Hopefully I can get down to 150, that's the goal. But if I'm beneath 200 now, I will be pretty happy with myself.
I’m down to 59 items total including shoes and outerwear and still feel like I don’t get the cost per wear down enough with some items. I think I assumed you might have still fewer items but I had forgotten your love of denim and t shirts 🤣. Well done and glad you’re happy with it 🤩
Wow great job! You have a beautiful wardrobe and it's just the right number for you. I need to count them one day but I'm afraid it would be too many clothing lol
Have you ever counted your closet? I think it’s really eye opening! ❤️ also I messed up the count! I believe it’s 99 items ✨
I do! I listed all my items in a spreadsheet so it is easier to see and remember! Mine is 124 items! 99 is definitely a goal!
I did and there are 400 items in my walkin closet and I have another closet downstairs. :/ I love the spreadsheet idea! Brilliant!
After watching your wardrobe inventory video last year I went and counted my clothing items and I did it again this year as well.

Dude! I am impressed with the change. Not just in number but in your disposition. Lighter and at ease, the new approach to minimalism suits you well.
Inspiring. I had a college roommate who was a ruthless editor of her own closet. She kept a basket in the bottom of her closet. If a garmet was not worn within a year, out it went to donation or resale. I have never been so disciplined. A recent 15 lbs weight loss has me rethinking everything now that I'm almost beyond the reach of the skinny end of my closet. Thank you.

Woooow under 100!!! So inspiring and yet so many options. I’m gonna be watching this on repeat🤩
🥰 I was surprised! If I add in my athletic wear it’s more but still pleased with it
@@Christinamychas But you also added shoes and accessories!

Congratulations on getting it down to a wardrobe you love! I'm down to 115 items for the categories you covered and I'm still paring down. I've been doing minimalism for a year now. It's so fun to get it down to the lowest number that is comfortable for you and to discover what you really love. It's helped me really discover what I love wearing!
Love love love all of your choices 👏 please keep the things that once belonged to your parents, even if they don't fit you perfectly. And I'm so glad you kept the blazers!!! Your shoe collection- lit! 🤩 everything seems super authentic 👍
Way to go with your inspiring video. I usually do seasonal purges. But I like your idea of trying them all on, in the mirror, how do they feel and make you feel. I’d say the one piece you are missing is a classy black skirt, you can pull it off, Legs! Yes, I’m calling you legs. They sell some classy styles at H&M. One of my friends suggested, to get used to skirts, wear one a month, then once every 2weeks, then once a week, plus they’re super feminine. Just my 2 cents, I enjoy your videos.
Way to go minimizing your wardrobe to what is serving you the best! It's inspiring for me to watch you on your journey and you show different ideas and things that I could consider for myself.
I was going through my stuff months ago. I'm categorizing and trying to get everything into one EPIC sorting areas for clothes, shoes and accessories. I have mountains of clothes and items that are daunting to me. Brand new clothes that I brought home after leaving my storage unit last month.
Clothes that are old, yet barely worn that were sitting in my closet literally collecting dust and MORE clothes still in an epic amount of boxes that I sent home from NYC when I left there 6 years ago! I have to deal with these clothes now little by little because very few of them are serving me as they are packed away. I'm looking forward to rehoming them so they are not weighing me down in life anymore.
Anyway, thanks for sharing your updated wardrobe. I'm happy that you are loving your wardrobe 💜
I think you have done a fantastic job reducing your wardrobe and keeping it so well coordinated.
well, I know at one time i had over 60 tee shirts. I am very lucky that people seem to give me clothes and I love having such a choice every morning on what to wear. I love your collection of jeans. I know I have 3 pairs really old; which I can hardly get into; but not giving up on them. Thank you for a great videox
Dear Christina i live your style😍 especially your blue jeans and the white tops without sleeves. And white tshirts. Whata great that it seems to work for an older woman like me. Wish I could find jeans with that great blue colour, makes me think of sea or mountain lake, I have never came across such a beautiful color on jeans.
I like your wardrobe. I had a little chuckle when you showed all the various black tops. I like coats, so I enjoyed that section. Your mum’s jeans fit you so well and they look solid.
Hello Christina, I am glad that you have not thrown away everything. You have to have enough clothes to get the washing machine full and to have a bit of choice in the weather and mood. After 3-4 years of minimalisums I realize that more clothes saves time. I don't have to constantly think about how to combine things and how to manage washing. And another thing .... people already notice if you wear the same thing all the time. I don't want to be pitied as the miser or the poor.
Your current wardrobe is great! Not too large, but has a variety of things you love. It is so YOU! Mission accomplished. Thanks for trying so much on, you must have been tired by the end.I would keep the white pants for variety. I also love that you kept the plaid blazer. It is a beauty.
Good for you. You have managed to focus in and create a wardrobe that works for you without feeling like you have too much. I’m so happy to see you enjoying just being yourself!
I used to buy the oversized thin hoops from Mejuri (£250) and when I wanted to declute it, a gold store near my house offered me £50. I was in a real shock. I followed many minimalism and many of them advertised for Mejuri, that's why I bought it. Hope my comment help someone who think they invest the right thing but It not really.
By the way, I love the content of your video.
Wow, I can hear the satisfaction and happiness with your wardrobe In your voice! 🥰. Every single piece is “you” and no wondering “why is that there?”. Selection with intention👍🏻👏🇨🇦
Was about to make an impulse purchase and then I came to your channel. Your videos always help keep me motivated to be grateful for the clothes I already own and keep going with my low-buy 😊
I've gotten down to 150 items (clothes, pjs, activewear, shoes, coats - not including accessories, socks, or undies), and I'm really happy with it. I might try out more fluid seasonal capsules next year and just try to maintain this number.
I love that you have items from both your parents. ❤️
I feel like it’s a good amount of pieces. Being Canadian we need a variety of jackets and boots. You never know what you are going to get.
I am so impressed!! I’ve been with you on the same journey since your start. Unfortunately, my numbers are hovering around 430. If i could rid myself of skirts & dresses my numbers might be half that. Still working through things.
I love how you have hand me downs from both your mom and dad ❤️ I have also come to the conclusion I’m a jeans girl and no qualms because I wear everything I own.
I am surprised how much I love the camel blazer on you. Also the few light grey pieces you have are stunning (sweatshirts).
I don’t think the number matters, but i’m so happy its not overwhelming in the sheer amount for you anymore and I think all the pieces are awesome!
I love your jeans and I love that you love your jeans! Continue to light up in them 🥰 while you’re on this journey. They are yours to enjoy.
You really have nailed your personal style and now have a wardrobe that you feel great about, I love that!
Wow, I love this current version of your wardrobe! I've been watching since the beginning and can really see how the evolution & curation process have had a positive change! Very inspiring. My favorite items are: your wedding outfit & the new Acne Studios leather. Oh, also the bloomer fit trousers! I love that you don't have any skirts, dresses or rompers/playsuits. You are really owning your own style now!
Also your editing in this video was a real pleasure to watch!
Love the white ones...keep them for Spring/Summer or nice Winter white and black sweater combo!!
Proud of you for getting to this place of happiness. I was sad that your fringe jacket was gone. You lit up when you talked about it before.
I've just started my declutter journey that was helpful to see how far I can come in a year for a wardrobe that really works .thank you great video
More than half decluttered! Way to go mama! I'm thinking about doing my own inventory now, lol!
Absolutely love your wardrobe. You have worked hard on ur personal style. Congratulations
I love your videos Christina! You inspire me to try to minimize the amount of clothes that I own (and never wear the majority of). I appreciate that you don't limit yourself to extreme levels to where you only have a few pieces of clothing to wear. I am so glad I found your channel this year and look forward every week to viewing your new content. You are such an inspiration on so many topics - Happy Thanksgiving!
Love that you have more affordable pieces in your wardrobe 😍
I love the editing! Especially the switch between muted and crisp background music haha
Wow your wardrobe is HUGEE
It was huger lol
That was so much fun I forgot about counting ❤️I learned heaps!
Cooool lol. I love how organised you are with your closet (mentally as well). Its really satisfying for the inner ocd human deep deep inside of me lol you sure are working hard and we see it💕🌼
Wow so much less than last time! And your personal style comes through so much more strongly. The only thing that seemed unusual to me were the ballet flats. I love a suit as a wedding outfit! Great video :)
Love all your videos but especially loved this video! Love your style and this video inspired me to do a much needed inventory of my closet too. thoroughly impressed with the work that must’ve gone into linking all of the items- much appreciated!
Ermergerddd you did it!! Yay!! Thanks for this haha 😘👏🏼 brava. So so awesome. Tiptoeing in your footsteps
You have so many options - love how you whittled it down to stuff you love
I vaguely remember watching your 1st closet inventory this year. You had a LOT of jeans. I feel like from what you've shown you've really edited things down. I might make a closet inventory for 2022. I've been in the process of working on a healthier lifestyle which has helped me lose weight. I've been slacking off a bit so I've plateued but I want to get back to it and lose some more weight. As I do I want to minimize my wardrobe significantly. Until the time comes that I do lose more weight though, I just don't have the heart to declutter my closet any further. My clothes are still in such good condition. I've had some of them for so long and I really enjoy them... even the pieces that don't get much wear. It may be interesting to see how the numbers stack up throughout the year as I lose weight and minimize my wardrobe even more.
I love the winter white ones
Hi Christina,
I would keep the white jeans, nice lighter colour option and you can still mix and match with it loads. Also the black Fly mules, I wore mine loads in spring and Autumn this year 🥰
You know your wardrobe isn’t that large when you can go through all of these in a video 😂
😂😂😂
The number doesn’t matter as long as you’re enjoying everything!
Oh yay! I loved the original video. I've watched it a few times. It always makes me look at my closet in a different way!! ❤️. Back to the video!
Loving it, so inspired to keep paring down my wardrobe. You've motivated me to sell my lovely, burgandy leather jacket which I don't wear because of the colour (I've gone grey and blonde, and it doesn't suit me anymore :( ) BUT I will swap it out for a black one. Depop here I come. Also thanks for sharing where you got some of your pieces, especially your blazers. I feel like nice blazers are so hard to find. As always, love your content :)
Ooh I was going to ask off the back of this video if you're up for doing a "what I would wear to..." - It was fab to see what you would wear to a wedding with a minimalist wardrobe, especially as your style is a lot casual (so is mine). But also maybe other fancier events like parties or dates etc... Aside f
Yes! You got the Acne moto and its super grand you found it secondhand! Glad to see you kept the Gucci slides and the Chloe boots too! Well curated 'drobe!!
Yayyyy I love it too! Was so stoked to find it on depop! Thank you heather! 🥰🥰
@@Christinamychas Love your videos! What size did you get in the acne studios moto jacket?
This videostyle was really creative. I enjoyed watching it!
I have the same Uniqlo vest and I absolutely looooove it! Probably the best clothing purchase I’ve made
I love your white and nude tailored pants. They’re great on you. Also the Saint Lauren’s biker jacket. Fabulous 😍
I loved this. Absolutely loved. How do you start a wardrobe inventory? Spreadsheet? Photos? Trying everything on? I don’t even know where to start! Also, this makes me feel better about having a variety of the same kind of top if it’s something I love and wear frequently 😊
I have not completely "counted" but I have one dresser and 50 hangers in my closet, so I do try to stay within those confines. That said--I have two entire BASKETS of sentimental clothing at the top of my closet, and I'm very impressed that your collection is so well honed! I was insulating the attic and spray painting a winter "cat house" for the strays today and I always am a bit happy to have some "work clothes" that are loved items that just don't make the everyday wardrobe cut. Hence the sentimental baskets :) Almost all of my stretched out and ancient band t-shirts and weird looking or out of style (but cozy) jeans end up there. I find you very inspiring! I like your style and your habits. I also am a huge fan of duplicates in a similar style, or of the exact same piece if it's something I wear to death.
Great Job! Amazing wardrobe. Thats very inspiring. Thank you 😀❤
I also counted once, it was 150 or something... i am constantly working on it... i have to count it again
I don't know if it's too much for most people but I'd be interested to see more detailed videos like trying on all your white tees and explaining how the fit and material is different, same for black tees, denim...
You have a beautiful style!
I've got 3 pairs of pants, including one pair of jeans. Plus a whole wardrobe of dresses. Still loved the video! :D
A whole vibe ♥️ Loved the video & your style!
I just looked over my wardrobe inventory that I did just now in May 2021 and I had 258 items 😵 Not including workout, lounge, pajamas, underwear or accesories, but still! Wow.. Gonna do another one as soon as possible, because I know I've decluttered a lot since then. Hopefully I can get down to 150, that's the goal. But if I'm beneath 200 now, I will be pretty happy with myself.
The number does not matter. You have mindfully curated your closet wearing the clothes that you enjoy, reveal your personality and meet your needs.
I’m down to 59 items total including shoes and outerwear and still feel like I don’t get the cost per wear down enough with some items. I think I assumed you might have still fewer items but I had forgotten your love of denim and t shirts 🤣. Well done and glad you’re happy with it 🤩
Your colour scheme is so similar to mine! Mostly black and grey and only a little blue here and there.
🥰🥰
A good example of how honing in on your style can reduce your wardrobe but still have a lot of variety.
omg the saint Laurent jacket it's perfect on you don't you ever (!) get rid of it
unless you wanna give it to me hehehe
😂😂🥰🥰
Wow great job! You have a beautiful wardrobe and it's just the right number for you. I need to count them one day but I'm afraid it would be too many clothing lol
Wow. I have about 170 items for summer season and 110 for winter. I manage to wear each and every piece, I love my wardrobe :)
You have my dream wardrobe!!! I love you style
love it. I need to pair down my wardrobe more.
