It’s amazing how I’m still learning things. I love the concept of not buying things that are similar looking to others. They serve no purpose when they look so similar.
This gave me a lot to think about when it comes to choosing what to put in my closet. I love that you said you love everything in your closet. I can’t count how many times I have said “I have nothing to wear”. I recently started to go through my closet and am trying to find my personal style. Thank you for the great advice!
Such a smart point of vue ✨ I recently started decluttering unnecessary fashion item and treat my self with elegant, simple and timeless pieces ♥️ it takes time and requires more effort than buying the 20€ fashion item I will only wear once. More mindfulness in the closet ✨🤍
I have a major problem in summer to find things I like to wear. I started looking for dresses which I found on thredUP ( online preowned clothing store) and I love them. They are so easy when it’s all one piece. I’ve always had a hard time with finding my personal style and struggled with over shopping. I like fall clothes the most and I feel most comfortable in that season. After watching one of your older videos I’ve decided that if I don’t love it right away, I’m not keeping it. I love your channel so much and I love that you’re funny. You are such a wholesome and beautiful person. Thank you for being here.
Summer is way more difficult for me too! This is the first year that I feel like I kind of hit the spot. Thank you so much for your lovely compliments, means a lot ❤️
Great video! 👏❤️ I also dislike polyester for all the reasons you mentioned, but there are so many amazing + unique vintage tops in the secondhand market that are made of polyester. So I do exactly what you do- I wear them in the winter with a basic cotton shirt underneath! Since polyester retains body heat, wearing it in winter puts this to good use! 😊👍👍
Genius- ❤ Thankyou. I love Polyester= no ironing and takes a rough wash in washing machine well- yes too hot to wear on Hot summer days but Thankyou Kat the fruit bat I will shop for it for the winter - Thankyou 😊
I really love your style. I’d happily wear everything in your closet. Could you please create a look book of all your items so we can refer back. Thanks for sharing ❤
I have been trying to shop smart lately and consider timeless pieces and avoid trends, but I reached a point where 1. I can’t declutter because I have good pieces and they’re not throw worthy. 2. I can’t buy much more because most of what I like is something similar to what I have. So now I’m back to getting stuck with my wardrobe.
If you're stuck with your wardrobe you probably don't own pieces that you're in love with. I don't have things to declutter but also don't need much new stuff. So that's the place you want to be in because then you have a closet you love. Otherwise you would declutter or donate. Do you like your clothes or do you feel like you can't declutter them because the quality is still okay and it feels like a waste?
You made so many incredible points! I'd just like to add on that consider your own personal habits whilst shopping, for e.g. I have many dresses, quite a few midi and some mini but it dawned on me a while back that I can never be bothered to shave my legs and so will often just end up choosing trousers/jeans so now I try, albeit not always successfully, to refrain from buying a dress. Thank you!
You look beautiful in this blouse. After watching several of your videos, I can tell you really know your colors and use them so well! Your face glows. Love how wise and confident you are at a young age.
I love how you went into not only do I have something similar, but will it have the same effect as something I already own. Just by changing the wording and thinking about the effect of a piece, I can already think of several duplicates I have and don't need ❤
Loving your channel. Also the 'Preppy' got me. I'm more a Preppy Curatist. I love options. Can't quite get to the minimal mindset. That color really suits you.
Thank you so much!❤️ I don't think I will qualify for the stereotypical minimalist eighter but that's okay. Doing it this way makes it a lot easier and more fun for me!
Mistakes I’ve made is that I buy in Sales for future seasons, and then eventually never wear. I also buy what I believe is a classic and realise that the design “although classic” does not suit. Helpful tips. Thanks Lesley England x
It can be quite tricky! I do love to buy future season in the sale but I buy cuts and colors that I already own and love. Haven't found any problems yet 🤞🏻. Thanks for watching!❤️
I love your channel!! I especially appreciate your tips on how to focus on the foundational principles on which a great wardrobe is built. The more you know about yourself, the more you can say "no" to the distractions. Trends are FADs aka cloths For A Day. I used to get frustrated with shopping bc it seemed that there was nothing for me. I invested time and $$ to find out what season I belonged to, what lines/silhouettes flatter me, and the styles that appeal to me. As of now I have a great foundational wardrobe that suits my climate and lifestyle. I live in S.Florida so I really have to be mindful of the fabrics add to my closet. Great video and channel 😊
Good for you!! It's so nice to have a wardrobe that works for you. It's also fun to see how that varies for people in different climates and parts of the world. I could probably learn a lot from you when it comes to warm weather attire!☀️ Happy to have you here and thanks for watching ❤️
It works really well for me! It's easier to achieve than every single piece having to match with every other piece. Otherwise it becomes a little bit boring for me.☺️
You have a great point. I have never thought about the effect my outfits have. That's most likely why I'm stuck with eight white blouses. LOL Thank you for the nice video.
Hello there! This is my first video of you. Very intelligent list. I especially liked that you have to be able to afford it. While raising kids I often shopped at Goodwill for my things or very on sale. Now that they are grown my clothes are both art and investment. It’s such a joy to buy a very nice piece and know that it will serve me well for ages. Some pieces are still thrifted because I choose sustainability and it leaves more budget for investing in harder pieces. Like cashmere sweaters and jeans. I live in them in the winter. The summer is silk or cotton tank tops. I live in the southern USA so we are humid and hot. Polyester is the worst.
Thrifting is a great way to find good quality on a more affordable pricepoint! Still have to get into this more because it's a lot more sustainable like you said. Thanks for watching!☺️
The only thing Polyester in my wardrobe, are my 2 puffer coats,one with a xxl hood and shorter,the other a maxi one. I deckuttered all the things, made out of plastic that i had, a few years ago and i dont miss them.I remember i was so miserable back than,the overheating was a nightmare and i have problems with heat already
I also have a raincoat that has polyester in it. For jackets and coats I don't mind as much but moreso for pieces that are directly to the body. The heat and smell is real 😂. Thank you for watching!😊
Recommendation: there are T-shirts in h and m that are half cotton half silk and they r gorgeous! They’re £25 each, so not cheap! But I def think they’re worth it.
Spent a lifetime in uniform dressing for work. Only now learning what My Style is and I love your sensible approach. 2/3 rule resonates ❤️ Great advice, will be following 👍🏻
These types of videos are healing my shopping addiction with clothing 🥲 it feels like I always buy so many clothes yet have nothing ever to wear. It's finally getting better and it's thanks to videos like these! I wish I would have been taught this stuff sooner 😅 I'm really loving your channel! Thank you for creating!
It's funny how I say sometimes oh a too minimalist closet is not for me. But I feel so Happy when I declutter and dream one day I can have a simple closet as you explained in this video and freed my mind 😊
Very useful advices, I’m just starting to build my new wardrobe with clothes I like and feel good in them, I’m so happy I found your channel, also I have to say it, you are gorgeous 😍
Ohh my gosh 😂 I have classic styling of clothing but now I find myself with lots of black pants🖤 I need a serious decluttering sessions to donate 🤗 thank you 🤍
Just find out your Chanel few days ago and went already thru all of your videos.. by the way how your doors looks like i new that you are Dutch and you live in the Nederlands.. 😍 so I'm sending even more love to you sinds I moved to the Nederlands few years ago from another country! 😊 I'm waiting for more videos! Don't give up! 🙏🏻 P.s. I love your fasion style! ❤
It's an amazing app! When I feel the urge to shop I go on there and make outfits out of my own clothes. Feels a little bit like shopping as well 😂🤷🏻♀️
@@thepreppyminimalist I still watch the 'style' videos, but usually with the app open to see if I can re-create the looks I like with what I already have. Frederique Bros is one of my favorites.
Loved this video! I have been overindulging in clothes for a while now as I lost weight and my wardrobe needed a revamp. I am very happy with most of what I've bought, but I. can't. seem. to. stop. Haha!! And honestly I feel a bit overwhelmed by all I have...trying to figure out when and how I will wear everything. My cost per wear is pretty high on most of my pieces right now. I think your tips are smart and I am hopeful that they can help me tamp down the buying and just start wearing everything I already have.
Haha I totally understand! Clothes are just a lot of fun and I can definitely get sucked into this from time to time. Especially when there's a sale going on and I feel like I can get so many good deals. However, I always go back tot the points made in this video and try to restrain myself. Sometimes you can't enjoy what you have because you're already thinking about the next best thing.🤷🏻♀️
I went from a size 14 my sizes varied between. 12 and 18 over 25 years...I didnt realize I had hypothyroidism until I totally collapsed from a family crisis and spent 3 mos in bed. Im a psychologist. I got myself to an internist and was diagnosed. Never had I been tested and half my thyroid gland has been destroyed by my high stress hormones over the years...and it caused my excess weight. So now a size 6 or 8 I look great in clothes, have a petite hourglass figure, am at my ideal weight, so all the large sizes had to go. Now I love TOOMANY clothes I love that I try on after never being able to find anything I liked for decades. I have been buying Ralph Lauren thrifted almost exclusively and have an incedible wardrobe for very little. But is getting cumbersome storage space wise and mangagement and organization wise....I too need to get veeeeery fussy. I guess I was celebrating my transition and being mistaken for 15 yrs younger at 75. It feels great to be told I am beautiful or dress well at my advanced age, but I have always believed it was our inside that needed to be beautiful.
Great video! I'm trying project 333 for the first time. I want to do it for a year because just trying to declutter wasn't working for me. I hope this will give me more insight into what I am actually wearing.
I've heard about that concept once before but aren't familiar with it. Very curious to know what it's about, I'll have to look into that! Let us know how it works out for you 😊
@@thepreppyminimalistit’s just a random number of clothing and accessories a woman chose to limit herself to For Each Season - in order to destress her life. It took off on you tube as a challenge, but there is NO magic to the number 😊.
I'm just found your channel. I really enjoyed this video so much. You're lovely and speak English so well. New subscriber from Pennsylvania. Could you please show us some transitional outfits from summer to autumn? I really want to learn how to get more use out of what I already own.
I think “ sales” is what I get sucked into. I’ll see a nice and high quality dress that looks nice but it’s on sale so I tend to go with that one over the one I REALLY love. I usually end up not loving the the dress so I don’t really want to wear it. In the end I personally just need to buy the item I love and stay away from the ones I “ kind of like” and I’m only buying because I’m getting a deal. It’s not a deal if I do not wear it🤔.
You are amazing and your shirt is gorgeous 😍 please could you tell us from which brand it? I know you found it on th max, but maybe they have web. Thank you in advance ❤
I try to build a good wardrobe and i think i have done that - but still dont know what to wear day to day. I really love most of my clothes but dont know how to build outfits with it. I struggle less in autumn winter but in this warmer weather 15-25°C its so difficult for me. When i cant wear a knitted jumper i dont know what to do with myself 😂 I really struggle with my style words - i wear a lot of practical clothes, because i am working with children between 3 and 6 yrs old, i am going everywhere by bike and love being outside. I live at the coast in northern germany, so i have to deal with wind and rain on a weekly basis😅 and still drive bicycle😊 I thought it might be "outdoorsy Casual but still feminine and chic and a little edgy"? So, i have a lot of Jeans and Knits. I love cozy and comfy clothing. But practical and durable. So i can work with the children, be on playgrounds, move, Still, i really want to still look feminine and chic and like i have made an effort. I have some dresses and skirts but really dont know how to build outfits to still look good and not like i am just ... I dont know. I am Happy i found your Channel because we live in same climate and i have a similar bodyshape. Maybe i can learn Something 😊😊
@@thepreppyminimalist Thank you so much for responding! I am trying to be more intentional with my purchases, especially for my wardobe, so these seem like a great option!
I like your comment that there is no point owning 2 pieces which look similar and can be worn with the same things. Can you please do a review of the yituber Trini who I love but makes me want to buy more and more but I have no space 😢. Please 😊.
Great video and great perspective! I have heard the rule "don't buy it if you own something similar" many times, but I never thought of it in the sense of "you will prefer one over the other anyway." Love it, I will definitely remember this! I'll also remember that if I feel "more self aware" in a piece, it's probably not authentic to my style!
I was born in the 50s and was the last child of 5 children I grew up with two pairs of shoes, one dressy and one tennis shoe and four dresses we had to wear dresses to school. I would’ve liked to had more clothes but we didn’t have the money. Also my mother would sew things.
As a kid we like to have and be the same as the other kids. It's very cool that your mother could sew though! I wish I could. My grandma was really good at it and my mom knows a little bit but it's a skill thats sadly fading away. Really have to learn it because I take my clothes to the tailor regularly!
My closet has problems because washing items has made the clothes lose shape and size…trying to accept the $$ loss I keep it, as I can’t just go buy another. ( I wash items in cold and line dry)…JJill is especially an expensive waste..Do you return items after the third washing?
I love the idea of this but this never works for me because I have so many different preferences of style. i love minimalism, streetwear, korean style, dad/mom/90s style, chic/polished styles. It's crazy... So I guess I legit just am not a minimal person.
Hoi! Door het in het Engels te doen is het bereik vele malen groter. Als ik het in het Nederlands zou doen krijg ik lang niet zoveel kijkers/abonnees. Bedankt voor het kijken!☺️
I'm living in the Netherlands right now and the first time I walked by Sissy Boy my jaw dropped. In the US, that's not a very nice thing to call someone and can come across homophobic but I figured it must just be something that didn't translate well. Is it supposed to mean androgenous or something?
it reminds me of that other fashion houses recent scandal where they dressed children sexually in S&M clothing - some people think they can get away with anything. It is wrong on so many levels to name a shop Sissy Boy.
@@catetanenbaum2418Balenchiagga fashion house sexualisinggvchildren, pandda eyes, teddy bears- we should not support shops who abuse their money and power to blatantly perpetuate abuse- Sissy Boy is an abusive name too 🥺🥺🥺

It’s amazing how I’m still learning things. I love the concept of not buying things that are similar looking to others. They serve no purpose when they look so similar.
It can be tempting but it's not an effeciant addition to your wardrobe in my opinion ☺️
OH man! You nailed it regarding "do I already have something similar?" White linen shirts are my weakness. How many does one person really need?
Haha we all have them! I'm curious to know how many you own 😋
Six in total. Three are white. I almost bought another white one the other day but didn’t. So proud of myself!
@@kathrynnielson5689 Well done! I'm proud of you too 💪🏻
Six! That’s a lot. But I love white summer tops in different cuts and materials. I have five short sleeve white tops. Three linen, 2 cotton.
Me too!!!!! And I justify every tiny, fractional difference between them as a reason to acquire more 😂
You are so sensible and inspiring to listen to :)
Love your style and personality. ❤
Thank you so much 🥰
Great video!!
Thank you!😊
Great questions. Im no fashionista, but these can help me access or declutter my wardrobe. And, you’re beautiful and stylish 😉
This gave me a lot to think about when it comes to choosing what to put in my closet. I love that you said you love everything in your closet. I can’t count how many times I have said “I have nothing to wear”. I recently started to go through my closet and am trying to find my personal style. Thank you for the great advice!

Loved this video! I have been overindulging in clothes for a while now as I lost weight and my wardrobe needed a revamp. I am very happy with most of what I've bought, but I. can't. seem. to. stop. Haha!! And honestly I feel a bit overwhelmed by all I have...trying to figure out when and how I will wear everything. My cost per wear is pretty high on most of my pieces right now. I think your tips are smart and I am hopeful that they can help me tamp down the buying and just start wearing everything I already have.
Haha I totally understand! Clothes are just a lot of fun and I can definitely get sucked into this from time to time. Especially when there's a sale going on and I feel like I can get so many good deals. However, I always go back tot the points made in this video and try to restrain myself. Sometimes you can't enjoy what you have because you're already thinking about the next best thing.🤷🏻♀️
I went from a size 14 my sizes varied between. 12 and 18 over 25 years...I didnt realize I had hypothyroidism until I totally collapsed from a family crisis and spent 3 mos in bed. Im a psychologist. I got myself to an internist and was diagnosed. Never had I been tested and half my thyroid gland has been destroyed by my high stress hormones over the years...and it caused my excess weight.
So now a size 6 or 8 I look great in clothes, have a petite hourglass figure, am at my ideal weight, so all the large sizes had to go. Now I love TOOMANY clothes I love that I try on after never being able to find anything I liked for decades.
I have been buying Ralph Lauren thrifted almost exclusively and have an incedible wardrobe for very little. But is getting cumbersome storage space wise and mangagement and organization wise....I too need to get veeeeery fussy.
I guess I was celebrating my transition and being mistaken for 15 yrs younger at 75. It feels great to be told I am beautiful or dress well at my advanced age, but I have always believed it was our inside that needed to be beautiful.
Great video! I'm trying project 333 for the first time. I want to do it for a year because just trying to declutter wasn't working for me. I hope this will give me more insight into what I am actually wearing.
I've heard about that concept once before but aren't familiar with it. Very curious to know what it's about, I'll have to look into that! Let us know how it works out for you 😊

Great points
Thank you!😊
I'm just found your channel. I really enjoyed this video so much. You're lovely and speak English so well. New subscriber from Pennsylvania. Could you please show us some transitional outfits from summer to autumn? I really want to learn how to get more use out of what I already own.
Great idea, will definitely do that at the beginning of September!👍🏻 Thanks for watching ❤️
@@thepreppyminimalist Thank you! I will look forward to your video in September
I think “ sales” is what I get sucked into. I’ll see a nice and high quality dress that looks nice but it’s on sale so I tend to go with that one over the one I REALLY love. I usually end up not loving the the dress so I don’t really want to wear it. In the end I personally just need to buy the item I love and stay away from the ones I “ kind of like” and I’m only buying because I’m getting a deal. It’s not a deal if I do not wear it🤔.
Thank you, very informative !! I didn't get the name of the website you got your blouse(the white and red one). Knoughknough?
The brand is called NAF NAF Paris and I bought it on Zalando last Summer ☺️
Ahh thank you!!
very nice
Thank you!❤
You are amazing and your shirt is gorgeous 😍 please could you tell us from which brand it? I know you found it on th max, but maybe they have web. Thank you in advance ❤
Thank you so much! It's from My Essential Wardrobe ❤️
I try to build a good wardrobe and i think i have done that - but still dont know what to wear day to day. I really love most of my clothes but dont know how to build outfits with it. I struggle less in autumn winter but in this warmer weather 15-25°C its so difficult for me. When i cant wear a knitted jumper i dont know what to do with myself 😂
I really struggle with my style words - i wear a lot of practical clothes, because i am working with children between 3 and 6 yrs old, i am going everywhere by bike and love being outside. I live at the coast in northern germany, so i have to deal with wind and rain on a weekly basis😅 and still drive bicycle😊
I thought it might be "outdoorsy Casual but still feminine and chic and a little edgy"?
So, i have a lot of Jeans and Knits. I love cozy and comfy clothing. But practical and durable. So i can work with the children, be on playgrounds, move,
Still, i really want to still look feminine and chic and like i have made an effort.
I have some dresses and skirts but really dont know how to build outfits to still look good and not like i am just ... I dont know.
I am Happy i found your Channel because we live in same climate and i have a similar bodyshape. Maybe i can learn Something 😊😊
Great video, could you please link the brown blouse you’re wearing on this video, it’s gorgeous!
Thanks 😊
Sadly I can't find it online. I bought it at my local TK Maxx but it's from My Essential Wardrobe!
@@thepreppyminimalist 😊
Clover is the purple symbol
the pattern is called 4 leaf clover-- a grass which grows 3 leafs, so a 1 in a million chance to find one with 4 leafs= Lucky 😊
where did you get the basket tote in the thumbnail from ? so cute!
It's my Mango Basket Bag! Got it around three years ago ☺️. They had a similar one this season though
These trousers are beautiful! Where did you get them?
Thanks! They're from Selected Femme and they're a cropped model. Normal on me because i'm so tiny 😂
@@thepreppyminimalist Thank you so much for responding! I am trying to be more intentional with my purchases, especially for my wardobe, so these seem like a great option!
I like your comment that there is no point owning 2 pieces which look similar and can be worn with the same things. Can you please do a review of the yituber Trini who I love but makes me want to buy more and more but I have no space 😢. Please 😊.
Great video and great perspective! I have heard the rule "don't buy it if you own something similar" many times, but I never thought of it in the sense of "you will prefer one over the other anyway." Love it, I will definitely remember this! I'll also remember that if I feel "more self aware" in a piece, it's probably not authentic to my style!
I was born in the 50s and was the last child of 5 children I grew up with two pairs of shoes, one dressy and one tennis shoe and four dresses we had to wear dresses to school. I would’ve liked to had more clothes but we didn’t have the money. Also my mother would sew things.
As a kid we like to have and be the same as the other kids. It's very cool that your mother could sew though! I wish I could. My grandma was really good at it and my mom knows a little bit but it's a skill thats sadly fading away. Really have to learn it because I take my clothes to the tailor regularly!
What’s the name of the App you use again?
I would add one: don’t listen to the trends, just buy what you like and wear it for as long as you like it.
Hi. Where did you get your blouse from?
I bought it at my local TK Maxx but it's from My Essential Wardrobe. Probably old season, i sadly can't find it online anywhere. 😓
@@thepreppyminimalist thank you 😊
My closet has problems because washing items has made the clothes lose shape and size…trying to accept the $$ loss I keep it, as I can’t just go buy another. ( I wash items in cold and line dry)…JJill is especially an expensive waste..Do you return items after the third washing?
I love the idea of this but this never works for me because I have so many different preferences of style. i love minimalism, streetwear, korean style, dad/mom/90s style, chic/polished styles. It's crazy...
So I guess I legit just am not a minimal person.
Heb je een Nederlandse site ook ,genoeg mensen die Engels spreken ,zou wel leuk zijn groetjes uit Brugge 😁👌
Hoi! Door het in het Engels te doen is het bereik vele malen groter. Als ik het in het Nederlands zou doen krijg ik lang niet zoveel kijkers/abonnees. Bedankt voor het kijken!☺️
What is the app called?
It's called Open Wardrobe 😊
Hi! Spreek je Nederlands? Want ik denk aan jouw accent te horen dat je van Nederland bent? 🥰
Jazeker! Goed gehoord ☺️
@@thepreppyminimalist super leuk!! Heb je ook insta? 😻
It's been 5 months since your last video. When will you be back? 🎉
I'm living in the Netherlands right now and the first time I walked by Sissy Boy my jaw dropped. In the US, that's not a very nice thing to call someone and can come across homophobic but I figured it must just be something that didn't translate well. Is it supposed to mean androgenous or something?
I honestly have no idea why it's called like that actually!😅 They have beautiful stuff though
@@thepreppyminimalist I'll have to check them out!
it reminds me of that other fashion houses recent scandal where they dressed children sexually in S&M clothing - some people think they can get away with anything. It is wrong on so many levels to name a shop Sissy Boy.
@@catetanenbaum2418Balenchiagga fashion house sexualisinggvchildren, pandda eyes, teddy bears- we should not support shops who abuse their money and power to blatantly perpetuate abuse- Sissy Boy is an abusive name too 🥺🥺🥺
