Why I don’t get minimalist wardrobe boredom, and how to make sure you don’t either!

- Опубликовано: 4 июл 2024
- I’m often asked how come I don’t get minimalist wardrobe boredom when I dress from a minimalist capsule wardrobe every season - but the truth is that I rarely feel bored with my clothes. A small wardrobe does not make you feel like you have nothing to wear - in fact, the root causes of closet boredom are the same regardless of the size of your wardrobe. In this video I take you through what to do when you feel you have nothing to wear, show you how to find some outfit inspo, and teach you how to use your go-to outfit formulas to your advantage!

ABOUT MY CHANNEL:
Hello there! My name is Fernanda and I started putting together Capsule Wardrobes for Project 333 back in 2015. Since then, I have completely rearranged my closet and now have a minimalist wardrobe, and I dress from a base of 15-piece capsule wardrobes every season that I put together with a simple capsule wardrobe formula. If you're looking to learn how to put together a capsule wardrobe, how to style a few pieces for many different occasions, or how to include color and bold prints into your wardrobe, then I'm here to help!

🦃🍁Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! I'm so grateful for you ❤ You have taught me more about style, and about myself, than I could have ever imagined! So glad you're here. ☺
We're thankful for you, Fernanda! (iFeliz dia de Accion de Gracias!)
When getting dressed I usually am looking for a certain color that I feel like wearing depending on my mood. So if I plan my next day's outfit the night before I usually don't feel like wearing it the next day. I think this has to do with how different my mood is in the evening verses the morning. I have better luck if I put together clothes on the weekend, and hang the actual clothes in my closet as complete outfits at one end of my closet. If I line up 8 outfits or so for the week, I can grab the one that looks best to me at the time. I usually put jewelry with each option so I'm not hunting around in the morning. I always make sure to have colorful choices as well as more neutral ones and more than five days worth so at the end of the week, I still have a choice.
I do this too! As a busy mom I find it serves me to prep a whole week of outfits with the accessories (scarves, jewelry) in a variety so that I can grab what I need depending on my mood or what activities I am doing that day.
I recently started a new approach to creating outfits that's working so far: all freshly cleaned or worn-but-still-clean items go into the wardrobe on the left, and I start my outfits from items on the right. There's no organisation except when-last-worn. My aim is to steadily move through my items; one way or another they will all soon be worn. It's encouraging me to use the trickier (ie more striking) pieces rather than bypassing them each time.
Oh my goodness!!! You mentioned me by name! I am so happy and flattered. LOL!!! Happy Thanksgiving!
Of course I did! Credit where credit is due!!
80%
I prep 5 to 6 outfits for the week and have been for a while and it really helps
I'm telling you... genius!!
I do wear at least 60% of my capsule wardrobe, but find that I shy away from getting what I called "dressed up" (that is real pants and and top rather than jeans and a sweater) if I'm only going to the grocery store and back! I'm retired so not a lot of dinners out or theater outings since covid, and it seems that everywhere we go people are really dressed down. I have finally got all the pieces I felt I needed to be ready for any occasion (except a wedding), but now find I don't as much need as I thought. It's actually quite frustrating.
I own the same item in 4 colours, black, white, dusky pink and burgundy. So four silky tanks, 4 shirts, 4 muscle tanks, and 4 blouses. This creates a uniform and I am in love with my uniform because it is so easy and settled! I don't have to even bother thinking of what to wear 😂 I always look put together! I would say I wear 60% of my wardrobe. 30% would be off season items and 10% would be special occasion items!
My short from video:
1. Laundry
2. Are you wearing the same pieces over and over again?
3. The same colors and cuts over and over again?
4. Max two the same pcs in two different colors.
5. Prepare different outfits from current wardrobe in weekends - different view different combinations e.g. Open wardrobe
From my experience
1. Reorganize shelves etc in wardrobe and it is useful to have pants, jeans etc on hangs exception are sweaters - it was for me game changer where all clothes are in order and easy accessible
2. To do the professional color analysis
3. Appreciate the power of accessories - belts, watches, bags, jewellery
Thank you for very useful video like always 💚💛💙
Having the closet arranged in a way that everything is accessible is definitely a good tip! Thank you!
I outfit repeat a lot. I also do a color palette for my wardrobe. I feel if you love what you have and it flatters you you’ll enjoy wearing it no matter how often. As far as people noticing-they don’t and I don’t mind even if they do.
I would agree 100%!
Since I started working in a kitchen, I have to wear a uniform 5 days a week. I swear that when my free day comes around I can't wait to wear my clothes! I challenge myself to put up a different outfit every week and it's not difficult for me even if my wardrobe is still limited, I only own 30ish pieces for the fall and winter, a little less for summer.
This sounds like a lovely system!! What kind of work do you do? in restaurants?
@@vazq_Fernanda I work in a fast food restaurant, not a chain though :) I don't really love it but at least it's only temporary
@@jawbreaker8125 I've had many temporary jobs in my life! I've actually never had a proper full time job. :) I hope you find something you like!
This speaks to me! I have so many of the same item in different colors. I have been making efforts to style them in different ways to freshen up my look which has been fun!
Wow thank you. And Happy Thanksgiving too.
Another amazing video! 💚💚💚 I have a lot of clothes but I never feel bored. However, I probably wear only about 60 percent of it. I know that I need to reduce my inventory. I am just awful at doing that and almost always regret getting rid of pieces. Your video about the personal uniform helped a lot. Now to my closet to get it better organized! Thanks for what you do!
Regretting getting rid of something is the worse! That can happen when we feel pressure to declutter but we are not sure what to let go of. I am curious though, how come you don't wear the additional 40%? Do you know?
Happy Thanksgiving! A lot of my summer things are hanging up or otherwise on display. If I can see it, I’m less likely to fantasy shop another one (as in buying the same items on repeat). And yes, I do need to spend some quality time putting together different outfits, maybe with a glass of something in hand! ♥️
I have recently realised that i like 3 pieces. The base pieces need to be high contrast eg black top , light bottoms ot vice versa. Then i like a print, bright or textured third piece ,like a coat , long cardigan or in summmer a wrap or open shirt. I like to wear three different things in different colours that connect or i connect with an accesory..
When i dress like this i feel good.
I now try lots of combos...and i am getting better at it..i get compliments..
I take a photo now each day.
Thanks.
Excellent video as always! I do admit I wear 20% of my wardrobe approximately 80% of the time, I guess its time to push myself to wear the other pieces I normally feel less comfortable in (bought them thinking I would wear them but some just ended up at the back of my wardrobe for eternity).
Did you ever consider WHY you never wore them? Did you not like them, or were you saving them for a special occasion?
I am definitely guilty of having all the same cuts and colours 😂 I think I’m currently wearing 15% of my wardrobe and it’s not that big.
35%... and I am being generous ...happy holidays Fernanda😊
I do change out most of my wardrobe for each of the four seasons, except for my all-season items. That way I get a “new wardrobe” every three months. I do try to rotate things that I haven’t worn, and try them on, sometimes I discover that they are too big or not comfortable, then I declutter them immediately. I’m lucky to have some extra hanging space, so I don’t have to re-iron or steam things, I store everything on hangers, except for my sweaters. I never put anything back into my closets that isn’t freshly washed and ironed/(steamed for knits), though, I have a separate area for wear-agains before washing. I haven’t got my winter things out yet, it’s still about 70F daily high here in California.
Your system sounds pretty similar to mine! I don't have that much space though - I kind of HAVE to rotate my seasonal items in and out.
True
I was watching some of your old videos and it occurred to me that you must have a lot of lilysilk pieces.
If you got a lilysilk pants, lilysilk skirt and lilysilk jacket you could make a lilysilk capsule wardrobe video.
I could! Right now all I have is tops & PJ's, but I'm gonna start thinking about this. Their cashmere is honestly a revelation, I have been wearing that sweater dress non-top.
"make yourself a cup of coffee, or tea, or tequila..." #soulsister
I would say that I wear about 75% of my wardrobe, but that's if I just count what is in season now. If I count everything that I own, I'm wearing a lower percentage over this winter- maybe 30%. My summer clothes are the ones that could use some curating.
I'm on the exact same boat!!!
When was the last time you did laundry?! Lmao stop judging me Fernanda!! ❤️
Rewatching this to write down the helpful hints while dodging black Friday ads 😩
Have a good weekend!
No judgement! That's why I said "am I the only one?" because that one certainly comes from personal experience!
@@vazq_Fernanda I was being jocular. 🙂
A minimalist wardrobe is a full-size wardrobe!
I like where your head it at!
10%
Do you know why you don't wear the other 90%? I'd be curious to hear.
Mmm, a cup of tequila for breakfast 🤔
Now, THAT might be the solution to wardrobe boredom 😅
Or, to WHATEVER boredom really 🤣🤣🤣
About 15% 🤦🏾♀️😩
Nooo, really? How come don't you wear the rest?
@@vazq_Fernanda I’m pregnant and i’ve gain a lot of weight
I feel like this is a super valid reason! Our bodies will change a lot during our lives, and it's for a very joyful reason!! Congrats!!
@@vazq_Fernanda Tell me about it. Thank you ☺️
@@CarmelQTful First pregnancy?
