  • OUR KIDS ONLY HAVE ONE WEEK'S WORTH OF CLOTHES | Kids capsule wardrobe! I'm sharing how we as a large family of 5 and minimalists have only one week's worth of clothing for our kids. We have an infant baby, a preschool child and a school aged kid. I show you what's in their closets, all the items of clothing they have as well as talk through why we do kids capsule wardrobes, the benefits if you're on a budget as how it's good for the environment. I hope that despite the fact that our kids only have one week's worth of clothes, you see the benefits of having a kids capsule wardrobe and that you find this mommy vlog motivation and inspiring!

    I was very poor growing up and did not have many clothes....in fact, I was bullied because I had only one pair of pants that I could fit into and when I finally got a new pair people took note of it. That being said....PLEASE let your boys know that you choose to do this, that it is not a financial situation and that your family is ok financially. Also, because I had very little growing up, I tend to go overboard as an adult, and over purchase....just something to think about. You don't want your children to feel like they are missing out by not having clothing that they enjoy. I hope that makes sense.

  • @emileeengelhardt9373

    Can‘t imagine doing this. Our 10 month old boy goes thrue up to 5 outfits aday at the moment. And I totally love the change and see him in different things. And even if I do it like you, I would have to wash much more often.

    We do time capsules also and absolutely love it! I started doing it about 2 years ago for myself and 1 year now for the kids. I do it a bit different as I also have lounge clothes which I keep separate from their going out or school clothes. The lounge clothes is basically what they play with at home or they use for the park and that sort of thing and it maintains their going out clothes nicer and stain free for longer.

  • @katedins

    This is such an interesting idea to me. I was always baffled when I was younger and seeing my family have loads of clothes for their kids but not even get to use most of them before they grow out of that size. This is something I will definitely be implementing with my children, and I have already started applying it to my own wardrobe!

      Another video I watched it suggested putting extra clothes in a box in garage and if you find you really want more clothes they are still there. Then get rid of them in a month or two if you dont use them. No risk that way if you are nervous

    • @kierstonpellowe9790
      @kierstonpellowe9790 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We have a similar issues. We suggest people give books, puzzles, or other needed items if they want to gift something, but we usually end up with outfits. I like how Elle addresses it. In other areas of my life I ask myself if it is the item the best, favorite, necessary. If not, we part ways. That method came from Emily Ley.

      Naomi Michielse or you can ask for the next size up so when they outgrow the other clothes you have the next set of clothes and ask for the season when you expect them to outgrow the clothes. And just stow it away until they are ready to fit into it

    When my son was little (20 some years ago - yikes) he wanted only black clothing. It made for such easy laundry days. He also was apparently a minimalist at heart then because he was happy with two pairs of jeans, one pair of shorts and would have worn the same t-shirt all week. I did get him to agree to change his shirt daily though so he had at least six or seven. I know we did have more than seven pairs of underwear but that was my decision, not his.
    Now at 26 he owns five black t-shirts, one pair of jeans, one pair of shorts, two sweat pants and maybe a week's worth of underwear and socks. He can fit everything all his clothes into one load of laundry and one dresser drawer.

  • @samanthahollman6949
    @samanthahollman6949 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This is awesome! We do similar(now) but we have 10 outfits. I had to do some real down sizing as we buy majority of our kids clothes second hand and lots of times they are a complete clothing lot. Sometimes when we purchase those they are huge or we don't end up using or liking some stuff. Especially our first born, we had SO much but now we've down sized to 10 of everything which makes life so much easier!

    *BRAVA!* I think you and everyone else who does this evens out those with the Keeping Up With The Joneses type of mindset.
    *Personally? 2 weeks' worth of clothing. I don't have kids, but I'm at the stage in life where I'm wanting to learn a lot before I might have a child, and I am not okay with having a crap ton of stuff. As the oldest sibling by almost a decade to my brother and sisters, aaand having moved sooo many times, I legit don't see the point of having more than 2 weeks' worth of clothing for every person in the house. I'm tired of my stuff because I use shirts, shorts, and yoga pants as my loungewear, pajamas, workout wear, and the shirts usually can be used for an outfit if I'm out. 1 week's worth of undies, socks (black set, white set by accident), 1 bra which I'm sad about, 3 sports bras, and a bunch of dusty shoes lol, 1 pair worn all the time.*
    Update: 2 bras 😂😂

    I loved todays video, felt like a haul but then on the other side of consumerism.
    Tip: Some of the kids I babysat wore overalls when they played outside. It really helped them to keep their clothes good for longer. But you know, they still grow out of it. But then you could hand them down because the pants wouldnt have holes in them.

Elle, I wanted to know if you and hubby have the same amount of clothes too? I have tried a capsule wardrobe but got bored pretty quickly. Also, we do the in and out rule for new clothing.

    This is such a good idea and seems like it cuts down all the clutter and fuss. But my boys (11&9) are just as hard on their jeans now. They constantly get holes in the knees. But I think I may go through all 3 kids (especially my daughter) and give it a try!

  • @tiffanymay880
    @tiffanymay880 5 ปีที่แล้ว +60

    As they get older around 11/12, do you plan on letting them have more than 6/7 shirts at a time? Just curious, since at that age kids at school can be not nice about joking and teasing kids for wearing the same thing over and over? I completely understand the pants, because I don’t own more than 5 pairs of jeans myself and I’m 24. I just wonder because I have younger siblings in elementary school. Not that other kids opinions matter, and I hope that didn’t come off as a rude question. I don’t mean for it to be at all, I’m just curious on the topic.

    I guess we do this but I never thought of it as a "weeks worth" and not really a minimalist . However, my girls are 3 and 2, and we keep 4 pairs of jeans, 4 non jean pants(leggings, etc), 4 sweaters, 4 longsleeve, 3 pair jammies 3 casual dresses, 2 church dresses. My girls are more independent because they're no wrong answers any top with any bottom, or a dress. Our 6m son has more but not tons. I like it this way and we just do a load a day and it keeps it available and under control.

    @eb663 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is so fascinating! Where I live in Melbourne, Australia, I can't see this ever being possible, so it's amazing to see how you make it work! We get quite extreme temperatures (can get up to the high 40s in summer and as low as 0 in winter on a bad day [I know that's probably not very cold for you!]) and we often get four seasons in one day (Melbourne is known for it's unpredictability). So we need a lot of in-between pieces and items that can work for the extremes but probably wouldn't be much use on the average day! That said, I'm sure there are some people who have found a way to make it work...I'm just not one of them!

    • @jjgoldenpro
      @jjgoldenpro 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      She lives in canada. If that's celcius we get alot colder than that. 35 in the summer at least and down to -30 in the winter, sometimes more extreme than that.

    • @eb663
      @eb663 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m aware, that’s why I said it wouldn’t seem very cold for her. My point was more that our weather often fluctuates a lot even during the day, so we can’t necessarily wear shorts/jeans and a t-shirt and be ok - we need lots of in between pieces. I can see many of these clothes working for 35 degrees - not for 50. I wasn’t criticizing, just saying I found this interesting as a person who lives in a climate where this would never work.
      Maybe in my attempt to be succinct I sacrificed clarity. In Canada, the extremes are on the cold end of the spectrum, whereas in Australia, the extremes are on the hot end of the spectrum. When you’re dealing with cold weather, you can often wear what you already have, at least in part, and keep warm with layering. I assume that would make it easier to minimize the amount you own, because a long sleeve shirt can be worn whether it is 0 or -30; same with jumpers (sweaters) etc. In extremely hot weather, we can’t always wear what we would normally wear on an average summer day. I can tell you right now my standard outfit on a 30 degree day would be unbearable when it’s 48. We need to own additional items to account for this. Also, because our weather fluctuates throughout the day, we can’t just throw on a winter jumper in the morning and take it off when it warms up; we need light, in-between clothing that can work for constantly changes between hot, cold, warm and cool. The clothes she has for her kids wouldn’t work for a child year-round in Melbourne, or even most of Australia. That’s why I find it so fascinating.

What I'm trying to say here, my weeks worth of clothing would probably be 10 -12 outfits 😅 (my kids are 3 and 1 by the way)

    I wish but unfortunately that wouldn't work with my grandkids, lol. Great idea for small kids but Elle when they get bigger I don't think it will work. But one great thing about that is you can teach them to do their own laundry and what you're teaching them now also teaches them the value of clothes and when they become adults and clothing can be brought back to a minimal they will probably go back to minimalizing their wardrobes. Tyfs God bless you

    Elle, I have been watching you for a long time :) over the past 5/6 years I have been learning a lot about the environment, our food, how clothing is made how companies work, minimalism etc etc. So over the weekend I really dived into ordering some of our supplies for the house from small and ethical companies. I learned some things from Shelbizleee on her youtube channel. I also watch Fairly Local Vegan and all sorts of others. I am looking into some other companies called Eden, Dr. Bronners and Zevia. I recently gave up my long time addiction of Soda (Coca Cola) as i finally caught up with me health wise. So one day I found this Zevia Organic Tea and well I dont care much for the odd replacement sweetners but it is helping me through my journey at the moment. For when I want a little caffeine and something "sweet" . So I looked up their company and seems to be ok. I am able to buy a case which should last a really long time for me. I mostly just drink water now. Have you heard of these companies and what ae your thoughts?

    This video was great! Very informative - thank you for sharing! Just an idea for a future video is to go over the quantities you would recommend for someone preparing for their first baby since now you have so much experience of what is needed and not. I struggled A LOT to know how many of each pieces to buy and in which size when I was first buying things for my baby. I didn't register for clothes as I managed to buy everything in the summer sale. Like you, I want to keep the quantities at a minimum, but it is hard to know what these numbers are when doing it for the first time, especially for newborns considering the blowouts and that you don't know what size your baby will be born. I looked it up online, but people give very different recommendations.

    Love how you have it organised, I’ll need to look into my boys chest of drawers, they share one and definitely have less joggers, jeans and long sleeves T-shirt’s. But I love that in England kids have uniforms for school, which makes it very simple. Also, after having 3 boys I’m now expecting a girl and I’m overwhelmed by the clothes you can get for a girl. I’m only used to simple T-shirt’s and trousers style and now I’m already lost thinking about the leggings, trousers, skirts, dresses tops etc 🙈

    I actually like this idea. I am currently looking at piles and piles of laundry and I am so over it. I do realize my kids do not wear all of their clothes. (I have 3 boys) 4,2, and 10 months so clothes in my house is a huge over load. The thing with mine, they get dirty quick or food on their shirts or poop blow outs with the younger two.

    Elle, you are so cute. 😂 you remind me so much of myself “actually I could reorganize these so let me take them out” this is my life. Your capsule wardrobes are so amazing. Having 2 reflux/milk intolerant babies I was kinda worried for you on the baby clothes but I know that’s not everyone’s experience. I would have been doing baby laundry everyday with my little babies. Did you do this with your boys when they were babies? Even with your refluxer? How?!? We are thinking of adopting a third baby (I can’t pop out more 😭) so I’m curious?

    How do you like the Copper Pearl bibs for Brighton? I have a 4 month old baby girl and so many of the bibs I have for her seem to “ride up” and bunch around her mouth and face, which I don’t like. Do you recommend the Copper Pearl bibs? They seem to have less fabric (from what I can tell)...I’m thinking about giving them a try!

    Even though I've got my families wardrobes sorted, I still enjoy watching these videos!
    When my kids were little like yours, they had very similar wardrobes, with the exception of pyjamas. I have to ask, why do your kids need clean pj's every day!? I've never heard of anyone changing their pyjamas every day! I guess I'm extra curious because you talked about sustainable clothing, yet washing items unessessarily, is very bad for the environment. My daughter has one summer set and one winter set, (my son has never worn pj's, he hates them! He wears a t-shirt and shorts on the odd occasion he needs them!!). When it comes to washing, i live by the 'look and smell' test.... Is the item visibly dirty? Yes-wash. No-go to next question.
    Does it smell? Yes- wash. No- item gets re-worn.
    Anyway, I've rambled on enough!
    P.S I'm not judging, just curious!

    My kids wear Pajamas over and over without washing. I’m also trying to teach them that barring stains and real dirt they can re-wear all clothes that are not underwear or sweaty socks. You could really cut down on laundry and water usage with repeated wearing before washing. With small kids their clothes don’t really smell (unless they get really sweaty).

  • @mandalyngarrett5390
    @mandalyngarrett5390 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you do laundry everyday? If so, that doesn't cut down on how often your actually doing the laundry. I love your ability to be minimal with your kids clothes. Kids clothes are so cute and tempting to buy constantly.

    I grew up (and still live) very minimalist. I had 4 pants, 6 shirts, a sweater, a coat, and 2 pairs of shoes. School and pressure to fit in was very difficult for me. We didn't wear uniforms and everyone knew what I had and what I didn't. How do you plan to navigate your children through it as they get older? My child is almost 2, and I keep her closet small as well. Just looking for tips.

  • @madelinegarber7860
    @madelinegarber7860 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That’s so cool! I think I might do that when I have kids. I’m blind so having a set amount of clothes like that would help me keep each kid’s clothes straight and learn what each kid’s clothes feel like. And the neutrals are smart too. That way if one of my kids picks out an outfit and I can’t see what it is, there’s a lower chance of it clashing. I feel like it would be hardest as babies because they grow faster and spit up and blow out and whatever. How would you recommend dealing with that stage? 7 outfits for each age range or mix and match?

    I thought to have less laundry when they would grow older but it didn't work. Firstly, the clothes got bigger, secondly, around 10 years old, there came the teen sweat smell 😜. Still shirts and sweaters are getting no more than one day of wear out of them. Jeans they can do longer with!
