I went to study in Italy with my designer clothes and felt unstylish. Took them back on a trip home and started dressing from a limited high street capsule wardrobe. They wore out within 3 months and I was able to look great everyday. Now I’m back home with my investment high quality pieces with access to affordable dry cleaning and ironing. Trying to do the 33/3 capsule wardrobe method again.
Sophie, you have no idea how much you have helped me. I am 21 now and I had this urge to have the cutest tops and trendy clothes. When I started making money, I wanted to buy them all but your channel came to my feed as a surprise gift from God I guess. I am so mindful about shopping and sticking to my own style rather than copy-pasting what is trendy. Thanks to you
I love how you said “no one will come check on you. You have to do it for yourself.” It’s so true that we always perform for others, but forget to do it for ourselves. Thank you for always providing inspiration to challenge ourselves and better our lives.
I am a new sub who Absolutely Loved your Peaceful Inspiration while promoting not being rigid 😊. It seems that being rigid just gets me stuck in a rut of not moving forward - I am Looking forward to trying this. I have cut back before, enjoying less..but it still seems that there are pieces I pass over Every time, Thankfulness for what we have is such a Lovely place to be ❤❤
This is what I've done for over a decade as a digital nomad. I literally only have clothes that fits in my suitcase and if I buy something new, something old needs to go. Before being a nomad, I had wardrobe full of stuff but surprisinly there's not been a day that I missed any of my clothes, bags or shoes. Its liberating to reduce the stuff and clutter, and I get to see the world because of my minimalism.
Whenever I put together my capsules in the past some very specific things were missing - so I learned to sew. There is something magical about the feeling of wearing a pair of proper structured trousers you made yourself. I‘m now trying to fill most of the gaps in my wardrobe with items I made so I don’t have to compromise on materials or colours. It also gives me new appreciation for my clothes. Of course I won’t be able to make everything, I‘m not a professional seamstress. But it’s surprising what you can accomplish with a basic sewing machine and a bit of practice 😊
That is awesome! I need to learn to sew properly (I do mini alterations here and there, but nothing major) because I’m apparently a weird size and almost nothing fits as it is.
I don't follow the 333 project, but from the time I started watching your videos I question myself before buying. I'm more mindful. Thank you Sophie for the inspiration❤
I got rid of 3 BIG garbage bag amount of my clothes and 2 bags of my husband's this year. We didn't buy a lot of new ones. Feeling much better with the spacious closet!
I followed Project 333 at the beginning of 2020. It was so easy to get dressed, quick to pack for travel & made laundry a snap. I loved it! I’m going to plan my 33 items this weekend!
Hi Sophie! thanks for the inspiration! I always regret not creating a vision board with the pieces and the colors I truly enjoy wearing and reflect my current style and lifestyle! This tip would have saved me so much money and resources throughout the past years!
Hi Sophie. I love that you're so considerate and accommodating of other people's lifestyle and not imposing your own way of living and that is what makes you more inspiring. 🤗
I also think its good to see how much clothes you need. I feel like the less clothes I have the easier it is to manage and its a good idea to just keep your favorites.
I agree with you that we wear a portion of all the clothes we own. We tend to grab the most worn and comfortable or closet ones in reach with out thinking. I tend to buy certain clothes because they are different and may want a change in style aside from the clothes I already have. It is society today to buy and shop even if we don't need it. It is more of a feel good feeling than a need feeling. I love your way of thinking for your simple life living. You are so honest and genuine about what is important in reality. Even in the working world , a few pieces can mix and match to create a different outfit . Thank you for talking about the 33 capsule wardrobe. Worth trying!
The question you ask in the beginning, "why do we buy new when we don't even wear what we already have".. I think has to do with identity, we sometimes get lost in all the voices around us, and we get seduced in many directions, but it is not rooted in who we truly are: meaning what makes us feel truly free, comfortable, an reflects who we want to be on a deeper level. I am finally getting to a place where the pieces I buy reflects this... I thought I did before, but it was always temporary. And yes, in a way we are always evolving and changing... But the art to me now, is to find the style that can stay and evolve with me also in 10 years, both for style and durability. I find it so exciting! 😊
i grew up with a hoarder mom and had the same habits as a kid. the only method i ever used that worked, to get me down to a minimalist, is "would i purchase this today or in the future?". ive also become somewhat of a fabric snob, and prefer pure cotton, wool or cashmere, none of that man-made synthetic stuff. ive gotten rid of close to 80% of my wardrobe and now am fully comfortable going abroad for years with just a small carry on. for this upcoming winter even, i have 3 sweaters that i used to love but have realized the cut doesnt look good on me so i will be leaving them and seeking out 1 upgraded replacement. having a capsule wardrobe is so freeing. especially when its all basics and in the same color pallet.
I loved your tip about not immediately getting rid of the things in the "no" pile. While I rarely regretted parting with anything I decluttered, there were one or two things I actually looked for and realized I didn't have! I do think that clothes can be a great catalyst for helping someone become the person they want to be, but oftentimes people buy clothes for a vague version of themselves they haven't given much thought to. Your video has inspired me to KonMari my wardrobe again and give this challenge a go! 💚✨
It looks like fun, honestly. I've realized that I have so many clothes for my "fantasy" self, and not my real self. I have a similar lifestyle as you (hot heat most of the year and active). Your capsule wardrobe is in inspiration for a wardrobe I want and I'd actually use. I have actually set up an Mercari account to sell the clothes that I never wear. I hope that it can bring someone else a bit more joy without being wasteful.
Just about the "fantasy self", I seem to have a "fantasy location". I buy things that suit different countries or vacations, and I don't travel that much, so they tend to sit there. Perhaps I should just wear the too-nice clothes down to starbux or the mall but i feel overdone and I feel like everyone is staring at me (i'm also tall, so I kind of stand out around here). I know it's "me", because I would wear this in Europe but not in Vancouver BC? I have to unpack that one...
Thinking about you and hope you are safe from the fires. This is just beyond awful and the loss of life is just sadness. Please give us an update when you can. May God bless you and all affected by this.
Hello, I am from Poland far away from you but when I heard about the fires I thought of you immediately. I came here to the comments section to see if there was any activity from you.... it is surprising to myself and a bit abstract to think of a stranger at the end of the world.... but that's how it happened and I wanted you to know that a person from Poland is thinking about you :) It qualifies as conceptual art for me :) Hope all is well with you and your loved ones. Thank you for your videos which always create a zen zone in my own home, and make everything suddenly quiet, which I love so much. I hold your community in my heart and believe that you will rise from this tragedy. Aloha
Inspiring. I live in a school bus and used to be a low key hoarder. I got rid of five boxes of clothing but since living in my bus I have noticed there are STILL TONS of clothing I don’t touch. I have over 50 shirts. I only have to do laundry every 3 weeks because I don’t want to wear the other shirts. Thank you for this motivation and wake up call!!
I did this once and loved it! Right now I’m in make do mode - making do with what I have and it’s not a lot but enough for me. Thank you for this reminder 😊
Great video! Gives me a place to start without feeling the pressure to buy more! Clothes are the hardest part for me and give me the most anxiety. We also have both extremes in weather, so it's easy to keep a lot of extra laying around.
Inspirational video Sophie! In Germany we have real seasons, so it's not always summer, so it gets difficult with 33 pieces. Nevertheless, I also mucked out. Over time, you always wear the same thing in rotation anyway. Without underwear and jackets, I'm still around 40 pieces of trousers (short/long), shirts, sweaters, etc.
me too, I live right by the Canadian border, so really cold snowy winters and hot summers...I just modified- 40 pieces for summer and 40 pieces for winter- we will see how this goes-
I track my clothes and am proud to say I use 80% of my wardrobe and am in the process of either making an effort to wear or sustainable rehoming the rest. I live in a place with 4 distinct seasons so although I own over 130 pieces of clothes including some accessories I think I’m already mostly doing this challenge unintentionally as I probably have roughly 30 items for each season lol!
I love seeing your dog casually laying on the bed, right next to your clothes you are attending to. Hello! Thanks for revisiting this project. I am doing the same thing, with fresh eyes, & was kinda happy to see you posted this 1 day ago as a revisit too 🙂
@@MalamaLifeHe is so cute & I wonder if he lays there surrounded by clothes thinking "man I'm glad I have this one perfectly fitted fur suit since birth & don't need to worry about this kind of stuff!" 🐕💜
I’m on my first three months trying this challenge since yesterday! The first thing I already learned is that I could do better on my purchasing decisions. Too many duplicates of items that don’t really work for me nor my wardrobe. That makes it harder to create good outfits with less. I know what to look for when I need something new (or second hand of course).
Great vid, Sophie! I'm a touring musician, and apparently I've been living under this 333 method for a lonnng time, without knowing it was a thing. I've just always thought it was the easiest way to roll. I don't think I'm up to 33 pieces tho, maybe close, if you count the "formal" shirt/pants combo saved for weddings/ funerals/ etc. Have a great day! =)
The minimum I had were 17 items for 4 seasons, not for a 3 months but for a year. Plus few accessories of course. For me 33 is a good choice to have such amount of clothes but for a whole year living in climate with 4 seasons. Now I have about 50 items 🤪 and started clothes diet
You have nice simple comfy looking clothes. I have seen Project 333 from its start and think it is a nice thing to do. I am not one who is into capsule wardrobes, but I also have nowhere to keep the other seasons stored, so I have all my clothes together. I think capsules are healpful for many people though. I like what you ended up with and how you organized them. I love how you are able to mix and match too. I am someone who if I have an outfit I love, I don't mix it up!! You have a lot more eclectic ways of putting things together. Great job. There was a time when I only had about 20 items of clothing. I think right now, I have more clothes than ever as a minimalist and it is because I am postpartum and have my pregnancy clothes, post partum clothes, and the clothes I hope to get back into once I am healed and back into shape a bit. It feels so gross to have all these clothes right now!! I plan on getting pregnant again in a year too, so I can't even get rid of them yet!
I think I especially love the points where you left the room for individual's lifestyle. It feels more achievable when I see the freedom to do this challenge including my personal taste and rules.
Hi Sophie, since watching this vid I’ve checked out project 333 from the library and am currently evaluating my current wardrobe within the questions chapter. Writing my answers down, I can’t believe how much I didn’t know about my preferences for clothes and I haven’t even started the challenge yet. I want to thank you for being an inspiration to all of us and I look forward to learning from and joining you in this challenge 💕
Your timing is perfect! I have been wanting to clear out my wardrobe for weeks and I can't seem to start. I love your wardrobe!! 😍 It's so simple yet so elegant. My two biggest challenges are that I live in a cold climate, and that I hate wearing bras so I have to wear patterns otherwise it's more noticeable and I feel a little exposed 😅 So patterns make it harder to mix and match my clothes. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration to get started, maybe I'll try 333 too ! I really like what you said about no wardrobe being perfect.
I’m sitting here with lots to do I’m so overwhelmed it’s been like this for weeks but you are correct no one is going to check on me so I better start doing something to get myself in some sort of order thank you Sophie
That's a super nice idea. True, we barely use all the clothes we have in our wardrobes, it's like we tend to use the newest ones + some of the old ones we really like. But it doesn't matter what's the specific topic of the video, I love to watch each of her videos at the evening before going to sleep because her voice, the music she chooses, the style of recording, the warm light/colors... give me a lot of peace. Btw, am I the only one who is in love with the dogs? They are so cute! For some reason I feel an enormous tenderness when I see them, sometimes I even teared up, like if I had the need to hug them💚
I am already an adult, a wife with 2 kids. Realization still sinking on me. It made me realize that I am an complusive buyer. I have multiple colors yet the same design, multiple designs with same brands vice versa. I am looking forward to apply these advice in terms of organizing stuff and importantly in terms of securing finances.
Miss Hawaii so much! My home for 14 yrs until work brought me to the mainland. Different wardrobe now as I need fall & winter pieces but love to see what you chose 🤍
I’m sure is more than enough. I’m also going to do this challenge. I already know that even if I don’t have tons of clothing, I have more than I need. Thank you for another beautiful video. 💚
I can relate to this 333 challenge, I recently went to a trip for a month but ended up staying there for 2 months, I went there with some minimal clothes and managed very well with those. It’s mostly a feel that we might need more than we expect which lures us in buying all the extra stuff. Thanks for inspiring us.❤
I did this last year for about 4 months; i felt good about it, excited to play with what I had, I did good. But suddenly before summer I snapped. I pulled out my clothes from the summer before and disliked everything; I just NEEEEDED to shop. I think it was also a want/need to create my older self (60 in a few months), so maybe this was part of it. This started a shopping frenzy for a couple of weeks, and then that was my "new" capsule for the summer months. I still have the old clothes but I don't feel anything for them anymore. Not sure where this is going; I think i'm just going with the flow. I suppose "awareness" is the important thing.
Yes I am in! Currently deep cleaning everything including my closet and I dreaded at the sight of how much we have accumulated over 2 years! I have a 17 month old baby girl so I had no time to do deep cleaning. I looked at my wardrobe and felt kinda disgusted lol. I have been on a sustainable and minimalist journey for a quite a while now but I do it very imperfectly! But I am going to do the 333 challenge and bring some clarity to my wardrobe and free up some space in my closet.
I'm in! Your video really inspired me and now I cannot wait to go through my clothes and try this 33 pieces wardrobe for the next 3 months. I'm thinking of trying the same for my kids too since I feel like they have too many clothes and I keep buying more.. And then we have so much laundry to do.. Would be nice to minimize their wardrobe!
@@MalamaLife I will! I just put my daughters clothes in a separate drawer for her to use for the next 3 months. It feels so good already. Now it's my wardrobe's turn😁
Just listened to the book. Funny how i was able to do a 100 day obe dress challenge last year but im struggling with this. But as im watching you tubes about it I'm leaning. Loved seeing your lean closet.
I like how you emphasized making up your own rules. I do wear a lot of costume jewelry, so either excluding that or making. a jewelry capsule makes this more doable.
I think I watch it for 3 times now. 😂 Shopie, I'm Indonesian live alone in Fiji. Everything you are wearing inspired me because we both live an island life. Always waiting for your new video. This video is one of my favorite. Love it all. 😊
Sophie, I love all of your vedio's. I have not heard of the 333 rule, but I like to learn about it. I am in on the challenge. I have been finding my style this past year and switched roles and I have been working on my closet situation and organization. Thank you for the new found inspiration.
Such a perfect timing! I'm going on an annual trip to visit my parents next month and packing has always been a torture for me, every year I arrive to their place with an extremely heavy suitcase and I only end up wearing 5-6 basic outfits. Thanks for a new challenge! I'm totally in! Now I feel determined to make this year's trip different 🤍😊
Hi Sophie. Another great vid! Thank you for inspiring us, in every way. Keep me focus on my goal as well! Please keep uploading more videos 📸❤ Lovelots!❤✨😘 Sending love for you and two beautiful 🐶🐕
I think my struggle is that I feel wasteful for donating or selling the clothes I bought and ended up not wearing, then there’s some pieces are more for special occasions, or in my case I had a baby and now things aren’t exactly fitting the way they did before but I’ve been hoping with losing the baby weight it’ll be fitting again… but definitely struggling to overall get rid of clothes as I’ve gotten rid of pieces and regretted it but it was months to a year later… Love your videos it’s helpful and encouraging!
Could you make a video about how you do you balance your worklife / what you do for work / how you integrate your work living slow and as a minimalist? Or did you already make a video about it? I am very curious hihi and love your youtube channel. Kind Regards, Ivanca
my biggest struggle with clothes is the weather. where i live, it can be freezing in the mornin and scorching hot in the afternoon. so i hate putting on a cute outfit & feeling great for the first couple of hours then regretting i put on too much/not enough. hopefully in future i'll move somewhere where it's not so unstable.
As someone who also lives in Hawai'i, I've struggled with what to do with the cold weather pieces I wear when I travel. Thank you for sharing about boxing those up and setting them aside. Seeing them in my closet makes me feel a little guilty about owning them, since they're so seldom used. It probably sounds a little silly, but your comments helped me give myself permission to declutter my mental space by simply keeping them in a difference place.
Your video inspired me I am in!!! Just found your TH-cam channel. I’m grateful I did and I subscribed and I’m looking forward to doing this for the month of August.
Currently downsizing and moving apartment in a week and I have to tell you that you have inspired me so much to change my lifestyle for the better; minimalism. It is already decreasing my stress and I want to try this 333 project as well :)
I actually find it really hard to find clothes that I like so rarely end up buying anything. Ive mostly worn the same items for the last 3 years with the exception of replacing some shorts that haf worn out over time.
I think style and fit is also a thing. I think its good to think about what you wear and what your habits are. If you gain/loose weight, change lifestyle, going out more, going out less and quality of your clothes.
Literly. I am on vacation for 9 days and I have brought limited stuff. I have only worn 3 outfits plus pijamas so far. At home I do tent to do laundry when my clothes are finished. So about every 3 weeks. For my vacay I packed 2 going outside outfits= a summer dress and jeans with a nice shirt/blause. Loungeoutfits: long legging with tshirt and short elgging with sweatshirt. My shoes are sneakers and I brought my new pink barbie floofy slippers. My pijamas and I brought my swimsuit just in case.
most women like me is another Problem that weight changes from time to time and also in the midlife😮 so the clothes can be Too tight or too big. I am now 51 years old and I love fashion but not necessarily fast fashion, unfortunaly sometimes. I go my way and Love Love Love my Cashmere pullover, have 3. Good quality is the key I know. I declutter from time to time but it seems a work from the rest of my live😮… I have done to much Impulse shopping, because I Love shopping. But know I want to have only clothes I wear and love. Thx for your inspired video ❤
I'm going to start doing this for myself. I wear my pajamas and work clothes 70% of the week and I wonder the same questions. Brilliant advice, thank you! Xoxo
Finally a very relatable practical guide! I love decluttering for the wardrobe seasons of life. Thank you so much for sharing your method and walking us thru it visually. Tiffany Phlanx's Marketing Specialist
Hey, Sophie! Excited to see where your closet goes in three months! Everytime I try to declutter my clothes, i'm left without knowing what to do with the "home" clothes. Like the old and comfortable ones. Do you have any mindsight on that topic? (That kind of clothing that is not actually pajamas but you only use at the end of the day)
I made the mistake of decluttering too many home clothes! Now I have a good amount, so I don't have to keep washing them, but I think the same concept applies. How many pieces do you really need to be practical? If it's not making you happy, get rid of it 😁
Great video. I just love how you take us on scenic walks while you talk! I have one question about this project: Do you find that your clothes wear out faster when you do this? I don't know -- I'm really wondering. Other than that, the plan is fabuous.❤
I always buy my clothes in a boutique that see my daughter and how i live. And they look what i wear and my style. I bought 3 black dresser there that fit my body typ and a green top that looks good on a colorfully pair of pants. And a blue pair of trouser that i buy every year because i wear these much. They are good for the monthly and when i meet people. And the 3 black dresses are worm with everything situation
Such an inspirational video! I too have been making different outfits with what I have and only getting pieces that are missing 🙂 I actually enjoy putting outfits together because of this and I've always liked decluttering so that's always been a help for me.
Thanks for sharing your video. Your dog’s are adorable ❤️and there expressions make me smile & laugh 😊. I’ve been making myself wear my maybe clothes so I can finally make a decision to keep or donate 🧞♀️.

That's so interesting. Why did you feel unstylish in Italy? Were the designer items too flashy for the area?
Can you outline your capsule wardrobe? I’d be interested as I need to make one, I’ll be on the road going forward.

I did this once and loved it! Right now I’m in make do mode - making do with what I have and it’s not a lot but enough for me. Thank you for this reminder 😊
I'm happy to hear that you loved it
Great video! Gives me a place to start without feeling the pressure to buy more! Clothes are the hardest part for me and give me the most anxiety. We also have both extremes in weather, so it's easy to keep a lot of extra laying around.
Inspirational video Sophie! In Germany we have real seasons, so it's not always summer, so it gets difficult with 33 pieces. Nevertheless, I also mucked out. Over time, you always wear the same thing in rotation anyway. Without underwear and jackets, I'm still around 40 pieces of trousers (short/long), shirts, sweaters, etc.
me too, I live right by the Canadian border, so really cold snowy winters and hot summers...I just modified- 40 pieces for summer and 40 pieces for winter- we will see how this goes-
I like that you keep items to a minimum but still have your own style.
Thank you ❤
It's also perfect when being a mother. Really helps me cope with my everyday duties :)
I track my clothes and am proud to say I use 80% of my wardrobe and am in the process of either making an effort to wear or sustainable rehoming the rest. I live in a place with 4 distinct seasons so although I own over 130 pieces of clothes including some accessories I think I’m already mostly doing this challenge unintentionally as I probably have roughly 30 items for each season lol!
Thank you as I was thinking too about the seasons.. ;-)
I love seeing your dog casually laying on the bed, right next to your clothes you are attending to. Hello!
Thanks for revisiting this project. I am doing the same thing, with fresh eyes, & was kinda happy to see you posted this 1 day ago as a revisit too 🙂
He loves to hang out when I declutter :D
@@MalamaLifeHe is so cute & I wonder if he lays there surrounded by clothes thinking "man I'm glad I have this one perfectly fitted fur suit since birth & don't need to worry about this kind of stuff!" 🐕💜
I’m on my first three months trying this challenge since yesterday! The first thing I already learned is that I could do better on my purchasing decisions. Too many duplicates of items that don’t really work for me nor my wardrobe. That makes it harder to create good outfits with less. I know what to look for when I need something new (or second hand of course).
Great vid, Sophie! I'm a touring musician, and apparently I've been living under this 333 method for a lonnng time, without knowing it was a thing. I've just always thought it was the easiest way to roll. I don't think I'm up to 33 pieces tho, maybe close, if you count the "formal" shirt/pants combo saved for weddings/ funerals/ etc. Have a great day! =)
I love it. Thank you for watching
The minimum I had were 17 items for 4 seasons, not for a 3 months but for a year. Plus few accessories of course. For me 33 is a good choice to have such amount of clothes but for a whole year living in climate with 4 seasons. Now I have about 50 items 🤪 and started clothes diet
You have nice simple comfy looking clothes. I have seen Project 333 from its start and think it is a nice thing to do. I am not one who is into capsule wardrobes, but I also have nowhere to keep the other seasons stored, so I have all my clothes together. I think capsules are healpful for many people though. I like what you ended up with and how you organized them. I love how you are able to mix and match too. I am someone who if I have an outfit I love, I don't mix it up!! You have a lot more eclectic ways of putting things together. Great job. There was a time when I only had about 20 items of clothing. I think right now, I have more clothes than ever as a minimalist and it is because I am postpartum and have my pregnancy clothes, post partum clothes, and the clothes I hope to get back into once I am healed and back into shape a bit. It feels so gross to have all these clothes right now!! I plan on getting pregnant again in a year too, so I can't even get rid of them yet!
I think I especially love the points where you left the room for individual's lifestyle. It feels more achievable when I see the freedom to do this challenge including my personal taste and rules.
Why do we hold on to the clothes we don’t wear?? That’s a great question.
Hi Sophie, since watching this vid I’ve checked out project 333 from the library and am currently evaluating my current wardrobe within the questions chapter. Writing my answers down, I can’t believe how much I didn’t know about my preferences for clothes and I haven’t even started the challenge yet. I want to thank you for being an inspiration to all of us and I look forward to learning from and joining you in this challenge 💕
Your timing is perfect! I have been wanting to clear out my wardrobe for weeks and I can't seem to start. I love your wardrobe!! 😍 It's so simple yet so elegant.
My two biggest challenges are that I live in a cold climate, and that I hate wearing bras so I have to wear patterns otherwise it's more noticeable and I feel a little exposed 😅 So patterns make it harder to mix and match my clothes. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration to get started, maybe I'll try 333 too ! I really like what you said about no wardrobe being perfect.
Above all, I like how you deliver everything on this video, especially the ending! Gosh! Such a talent
aw thank you so much. I really appreciate that
Hi I’m new to trying minimalism in my wardrobe and appreciating the small things in life. Thank you for sharing your videos. God bless.
thanks for watching them
I’m sitting here with lots to do I’m so overwhelmed it’s been like this for weeks but you are correct no one is going to check on me so I better start doing something to get myself in some sort of order thank you Sophie
🙌
That's a super nice idea. True, we barely use all the clothes we have in our wardrobes, it's like we tend to use the newest ones + some of the old ones we really like. But it doesn't matter what's the specific topic of the video, I love to watch each of her videos at the evening before going to sleep because her voice, the music she chooses, the style of recording, the warm light/colors... give me a lot of peace.
Btw, am I the only one who is in love with the dogs? They are so cute! For some reason I feel an enormous tenderness when I see them, sometimes I even teared up, like if I had the need to hug them💚
I am already an adult, a wife with 2 kids. Realization still sinking on me. It made me realize that I am an complusive buyer. I have multiple colors yet the same design, multiple designs with same brands vice versa. I am looking forward to apply these advice in terms of organizing stuff and importantly in terms of securing finances.
I love it 🙌
Miss Hawaii so much! My home for 14 yrs until work brought me to the mainland. Different wardrobe now as I need fall & winter pieces but love to see what you chose 🤍
❤️
Your voice is so soothing
I didn't know i was doing 33/3 challenge until i saw your video. Loved it..! Thank you ♥️
I’m sure is more than enough. I’m also going to do this challenge. I already know that even if I don’t have tons of clothing, I have more than I need.
Thank you for another beautiful video. 💚
Yay!Happy you'll be doing it with me
I can relate to this 333 challenge, I recently went to a trip for a month but ended up staying there for 2 months, I went there with some minimal clothes and managed very well with those. It’s mostly a feel that we might need more than we expect which lures us in buying all the extra stuff. Thanks for inspiring us.❤
The saying" no one is going to check on you ,you have to do that for yourself ".....such a big and important statement
❤❤❤❤❤
❤️
I have watched every one of your wardrobe videos and I love your aesthetic so much!
Thank you so much :)
I just reread the 333 book this last week.
This is so encouraging!
I hope you try it too
I love that you shared exactly what you chose 😀
Thanks for watching ❤️
I did this last year for about 4 months; i felt good about it, excited to play with what I had, I did good. But suddenly before summer I snapped. I pulled out my clothes from the summer before and disliked everything; I just NEEEEDED to shop. I think it was also a want/need to create my older self (60 in a few months), so maybe this was part of it. This started a shopping frenzy for a couple of weeks, and then that was my "new" capsule for the summer months. I still have the old clothes but I don't feel anything for them anymore. Not sure where this is going; I think i'm just going with the flow. I suppose "awareness" is the important thing.
Amazing, few items for every occasion that still look very instagrammable and stylish 🤩
😁
Your hair and wardrobe are AMAZING ✨
Aw thank you ❤️❤️
Yes I am in! Currently deep cleaning everything including my closet and I dreaded at the sight of how much we have accumulated over 2 years! I have a 17 month old baby girl so I had no time to do deep cleaning. I looked at my wardrobe and felt kinda disgusted lol. I have been on a sustainable and minimalist journey for a quite a while now but I do it very imperfectly! But I am going to do the 333 challenge and bring some clarity to my wardrobe and free up some space in my closet.
I'm in! Your video really inspired me and now I cannot wait to go through my clothes and try this 33 pieces wardrobe for the next 3 months. I'm thinking of trying the same for my kids too since I feel like they have too many clothes and I keep buying more.. And then we have so much laundry to do.. Would be nice to minimize their wardrobe!
How exciting! Check back in in 3 months and we can all reflect on how we did 😍
@@MalamaLife I will! I just put my daughters clothes in a separate drawer for her to use for the next 3 months. It feels so good already. Now it's my wardrobe's turn😁
Just listened to the book. Funny how i was able to do a 100 day obe dress challenge last year but im struggling with this. But as im watching you tubes about it I'm leaning. Loved seeing your lean closet.
Thank you! I'll be doing an update on this soon
I love your videos, please make a video on how to overcome from past and not taking care of ourselves in past.
I like how you emphasized making up your own rules. I do wear a lot of costume jewelry, so either excluding that or making. a jewelry capsule makes this more doable.
That's really cool! Yes! Rock your own style
I think I watch it for 3 times now. 😂 Shopie, I'm Indonesian live alone in Fiji. Everything you are wearing inspired me because we both live an island life. Always waiting for your new video. This video is one of my favorite. Love it all. 😊
Sophie, I love all of your vedio's. I have not heard of the 333 rule, but I like to learn about it. I am in on the challenge. I have been finding my style this past year and switched roles and I have been working on my closet situation and organization. Thank you for the new found inspiration.
Thank you for watching :)
Inspiring video! I'm gonna go sort through my closet right now
🙌😍
Such a perfect timing! I'm going on an annual trip to visit my parents next month and packing has always been a torture for me, every year I arrive to their place with an extremely heavy suitcase and I only end up wearing 5-6 basic outfits. Thanks for a new challenge! I'm totally in! Now I feel determined to make this year's trip different 🤍😊
Hi Sophie. Another great vid! Thank you for inspiring us, in every way. Keep me focus on my goal as well! Please keep uploading more videos 📸❤ Lovelots!❤✨😘
Sending love for you and two beautiful 🐶🐕
We are moving across the world soon and will be living out of two suitcases for a month. This will be a great help.
best of luck!
Your dogs are ADORABLE!
they truly are :) thank you!
I’ll be trying this too, it’s great timing for me because I’m moving to Thailand! This video is super helpful and easy to follow ❤
❤️😍
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the support!!😍❤️
I think my struggle is that I feel wasteful for donating or selling the clothes I bought and ended up not wearing, then there’s some pieces are more for special occasions, or in my case I had a baby and now things aren’t exactly fitting the way they did before but I’ve been hoping with losing the baby weight it’ll be fitting again… but definitely struggling to overall get rid of clothes as I’ve gotten rid of pieces and regretted it but it was months to a year later… Love your videos it’s helpful and encouraging!
Ok, please do another one 3 months from now! Need a fall one. 😅
Yes!! Of course. I'm going to Korea Japan in Oct, so I'm definitely going to need a fall capsule too
Could you make a video about how you do you balance your worklife / what you do for work / how you integrate your work living slow and as a minimalist? Or did you already make a video about it? I am very curious hihi and love your youtube channel. Kind Regards, Ivanca
my biggest struggle with clothes is the weather. where i live, it can be freezing in the mornin and scorching hot in the afternoon. so i hate putting on a cute outfit & feeling great for the first couple of hours then regretting i put on too much/not enough. hopefully in future i'll move somewhere where it's not so unstable.
Hi Sophie! I hope you can also share how you use your google calendar, how you do things effectively. Thanks 🙂
As someone who also lives in Hawai'i, I've struggled with what to do with the cold weather pieces I wear when I travel. Thank you for sharing about boxing those up and setting them aside. Seeing them in my closet makes me feel a little guilty about owning them, since they're so seldom used. It probably sounds a little silly, but your comments helped me give myself permission to declutter my mental space by simply keeping them in a difference place.
It realized that it's important to keep enough clothes around for all different occasions! I'm happy to hear that :)
Your video inspired me I am in!!! Just found your TH-cam channel. I’m grateful I did and I subscribed and I’m looking forward to doing this for the month of August.
So happy you'll be doing it with me :) thank you for the support! Goodluck to us
Currently downsizing and moving apartment in a week and I have to tell you that you have inspired me so much to change my lifestyle for the better; minimalism. It is already decreasing my stress and I want to try this 333 project as well :)
I'm so happy to hear that! Also happy you'll be doing the challenge with me :)
I actually find it really hard to find clothes that I like so rarely end up buying anything. Ive mostly worn the same items for the last 3 years with the exception of replacing some shorts that haf worn out over time.
good content, I also find your white linen trousers beautiful!
The fact that this video currently has 333K views is extremely satisfying.
omg , I was just searching abt capsule wardrobe and I found ur vid 🤣🤍🤍🤍🤍 love that tysm !
Yay! So happy to hear that. Hope you will do this challenge with me
I love that you say clothes and not close very tingly
:D
I miss patterned clothes on capsule wardrobes, i love florals. But i'll try it!
I think style and fit is also a thing. I think its good to think about what you wear and what your habits are. If you gain/loose weight, change lifestyle, going out more, going out less and quality of your clothes.
New subscriber. Binge watching your videos. you are so peaceful and love your videos. Thank you
Thank you so much for the support ❤️
Literly. I am on vacation for 9 days and I have brought limited stuff. I have only worn 3 outfits plus pijamas so far. At home I do tent to do laundry when my clothes are finished. So about every 3 weeks. For my vacay I packed 2 going outside outfits= a summer dress and jeans with a nice shirt/blause. Loungeoutfits: long legging with tshirt and short elgging with sweatshirt. My shoes are sneakers and I brought my new pink barbie floofy slippers. My pijamas and I brought my swimsuit just in case.
most women like me is another Problem that weight changes from time to time and also in the midlife😮 so the clothes can be Too tight or too big. I am now 51 years old and I love fashion but not necessarily fast fashion, unfortunaly sometimes. I go my way and Love Love Love my Cashmere pullover, have 3. Good quality is the key I know. I declutter from time to time but it seems a work from the rest of my live😮… I have done to much Impulse shopping, because I Love shopping. But know I want to have only clothes I wear and love. Thx for your inspired video ❤
I'm going to start doing this for myself. I wear my pajamas and work clothes 70% of the week and I wonder the same questions. Brilliant advice, thank you! Xoxo
Happy you'll be doing it with me 😁❤️
I’ve been loving your wardrobe vids!! Ty for sharing!!
Happy to hear that :) thanks for watching
Actually, I’ve been dying to know where you got the sweater from at 7:01 in this video!! It’s adorable on you!!
Finally a very relatable practical guide! I love decluttering for the wardrobe seasons of life. Thank you so much for sharing your method and walking us thru it visually.

Mencukupkan diri dengan 3 baju untuk ke luar rumah selama 10 tahun ini adalah prestasi terbaikku. Thank you for the insight.

Hey, Sophie! Excited to see where your closet goes in three months! Everytime I try to declutter my clothes, i'm left without knowing what to do with the "home" clothes. Like the old and comfortable ones. Do you have any mindsight on that topic? (That kind of clothing that is not actually pajamas but you only use at the end of the day)
I made the mistake of decluttering too many home clothes! Now I have a good amount, so I don't have to keep washing them, but I think the same concept applies. How many pieces do you really need to be practical? If it's not making you happy, get rid of it 😁
This video is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing, really enjoyed it
Thanks for watching!
Started this in May & have been loving it!!
3:30 Yes! I always ask myself is this something I would buy if I saw it while shopping today? If so then I need to find a time to wear it.
Great video. I just love how you take us on scenic walks while you talk! I have one question about this project: Do you find that your clothes wear out faster when you do this? I don't know -- I'm really wondering. Other than that, the plan is fabuous.❤
Yes! I definitely noticed this. I've had to replace my pieces more frequently. Air drying my clothes definitely helps. Thank you so much for watching
I’ve never counted clothes in my capsule but I’m sure it’s more than 33! Thank you for the inspiration I’ll definitely have a go ❤
:)
I always buy my clothes in a boutique that see my daughter and how i live. And they look what i wear and my style. I bought 3 black dresser there that fit my body typ and a green top that looks good on a colorfully pair of pants. And a blue pair of trouser that i buy every year because i wear these much. They are good for the monthly and when i meet people. And the 3 black dresses are worm with everything situation
I live in a four season climate, very warm summers, and very cold winters, moderate springss and falls, 😀therefore I need 33X3 capsule wardrobes.
Such an inspirational video! I too have been making different outfits with what I have and only getting pieces that are missing 🙂 I actually enjoy putting outfits together because of this and I've always liked decluttering so that's always been a help for me.
I literally was thinking about doing something like this so I’m so excited you made a video to make it easier for me, I was confused on how to start !
Happy you'll be doing it with me ❤️
Thanks for sharing your video. Your dog’s are adorable ❤️and there expressions make me smile & laugh 😊. I’ve been making myself wear my maybe clothes so I can finally make a decision to keep or donate 🧞♀️.
Thank you :) they are the sweetest
6:02 I love this flowy dress! What is the material and/or could you link it pls?
Thank you ❤
It’s summer here in Dubai Im thinking to do this challenge😊
❤️🙌
