Black turtlenecks/ mock turtlenecks. I often buy 2 to 3 at a time when I find one that fits, same with white and black T-shirts. I also do the same with my jeans, but usually about two other style and color.
I have been enjoying your videos. I would say that I have a minimalist desire and a minimalist wardrobe compared to other people. My thing is that I sew my clothing which helps with fit issues on my post menopausal body and making things I like instead of buying the "trends" that most stores carry. I also live in a small rural town and don't have many options for stores and don't want to spend my time at the post office returning things that didn't work. My problem comes from buying fabric and that I can get carried away and get ahead of myself. So I treat fabric buying like building a minimalist wardrobe, I need to have a plan for it, it needs to fit in with my color palette and it needs to be for the current season or the one closely coming up and quality fabrics so that my garments survive my lifestyle and sewing machine.
Hi Robin! It's fantastic to hear you're enjoying the videos! Your approach to fashion is both inspiring and practical. Sewing your own clothing is such a wonderful skill, allowing you to create pieces that truly fit and flatter your body and reflect your personal style away from fleeting trends. Your method of treating fabric buying with the same care and consideration as building a minimalist wardrobe is very wise. By focusing on quality, color coordination, and relevance to the season, you're ensuring that each piece you create is both meaningful and functional. It's a brilliant way to balance creativity with practicality, especially in a small rural town setting. Thank you for sharing your unique perspective and approach to fashion - it's a breath of fresh air in a world often dominated by fast fashion. 🤩
The older I get, the more minimalist my wardrobe becomes. T-shirt (usually white), capris, very good walking shoes. Light and medium weight hoodies. I change up my earrings.
I have a larger than average minimalist wardrobe. I wear black Lands End swim capris as spring and fall bottoms. They feel like supportive leggings and the skirt on the bottom adds a layer that flatters me. I love this look. I also wear a-line dresses a lot in summer and layer under and over them in spring and fall. I am very happy with my clothes. I continue to minimize. You have helped me a lot-especially with color and with enjoying watching your channel. Thanks.
I really like your channel. I'm in Australia so the retailers aren't the same but I love your accent on colour. My wardrobe has navy as the base colour. Plain tops with scarves or patterend tops. Thanks for such a useful video 😊👍
Nancy I waver between going minimal and colorful ... in abundace. The season and my life at the time, dictates this. Clearly I love it all. Your video is so well thought out and explained clearl the differences between a capsule and minimal wardrobe. I learned a lot, but mainlly, I love both.... uh oh. You are a born teacher and, as I always say, I learned somthing new in this, as all of your videos. Thank you for all you do!
Thank you! Very clearly put! Several times in my life I streamlined my wardrobe only to become awfully bored. I will try it again, but consider some additional items which keep me from being bored. I tried scarves, but there might be more I could do.
Have you seen the clothing from BlueSalt? The company is out of Malabo California. I have a lot of there pieces. I would love for you to do live or video. She produced a beautiful, sustainable, luxurious fabric! With your expertise wow! I’m absolutely obsessed to the point I have the app. I really enjoy your videos!
I'm constantly editing/curating my closet so everything in there are items I like and wear. I could never be a minimalist but I don't really have too many pieces either. Time to edit again!! I quite enjoy your videos!
Thank you Nancy for doing a video directed to me.😁 I organized my closet a while back, but I wasn’t satisfied we my clothing options. Thank you so much, another awesome video!❣️
I’m so excited to try this. My closet is overflowing with items I don’t wear and don’t feel like me. Just bought some quince Ponte pants in a few neutral colors I feel will fit the bill for three season wear. Now to move on to the other categories. Thanks for a wonderful informative video!
I like this concept. I'd say I'm a hybrid in that I often gravitate towards this solid, neutral palette and I can imagine being happy with only those pieces yet I also LOVE throwing in prints from Cleobella or Anthropologie. Overall I lean this way but love to mix it up and I love options! We have so many beautiful, interesting choices but generally speaking, I am more inclined to this kind of closet. Just more! ;)
Since retiring I have curated my wardrobe to mix and match together, but I will never be a minimalist because it does not suit my style at all. I find it too boring and predictable for myself. Comfort, fit and style are key to me. I always like adding something extra to an outfit to make it more modern and edgier. Appreciate that some women prefer to go more minimalist though; each to her own!
I really wish I had a minimal wardrobe. That’s just not me. I overpack if I go anywhere, because I like choices in what I wear. Im not a minimalist anywhere in my house. I like stuff. I don’t have hardly any black in my wardrobe. Maybe some sweaters, jeans and sweatpants. I have way more white and navy. I am retired. And I live out in the country. And I don’t do much. And I do go through my closet quite often. I share the closet with my husband. He gets a small piece and I get the rest. He has very little clothing. So he doesn’t need much room. I’m trying all the time to get like that. But it’s just not me. And I have more clothes in the guest bedroom closet. Which I would love to clean out. I know my daughter and son in law are coming to visit at the end of this month. And they will be staying in the guest bedroom. There are also a whole lot of pillows in that closet. I need some more space bags to fit them into. I will order some after this video. I think I have five or six denim jackets. And I only wear the real denim ones. So I may donate the rest. I have a lot of shoes too. I did buy some kitten heel boots that are actually comfortable. I probably have close to ten pairs of sneakers. I wear the almost same thing everyday. A pair of denim bermuda shorts and a t shirt. So I have a lot of t shirts. All I do is pick which one I will wear for my day. I have other pairs of shorts. I have a white pair of denim shorts. But I ruined a pair of white jeans sitting on the bleachers at my granddaughter’s graduation. So I’m afraid to wear them anywhere. I did wear them shopping one day. But I have other colors, I just pick the blue denim. I’m going to look in my shorts drawer. And get rid of whatever is in there. I don’t wear them. And it finally getting cooler here, this week. So I’m going to need pants. My husband will wear his shorts until it gets into the 50’s. I don’t. And he probably only has four pairs of shorts he wears. He has a minimalist wardrobe. I don’t.
@@JamiCrummettI diagree. This channel is about her opinion on style and clothing. Why wouldn't we be allowed to give ours? Also, I am sure you don't like EVERYTHING she wears.
I think Nancy's top is adorable and on trend not frumpy or boxy. The fresh, whimsical shape must be throwing you off but that kind of change helps spice up your wardrobe and keeps you from looking like you're wearing the same predictable, boring t-shirt in a different color. Try it, you'll like it!

Same here!

Thanks for the motivation!!!
Hi Jeanne, I'm so glad you found it motivating! 🤩
Even though I’m not into a minimalist capsule wardrobe in my regular, at home lifestyle I’ve found it does work very well for me when traveling.
I really like your channel. I'm in Australia so the retailers aren't the same but I love your accent on colour.
My wardrobe has navy as the base colour. Plain tops with scarves or patterend tops.

Well said me too.
I am organizing and reviewing my clothing at this time! Thank you!

When you say 30-40 pieces, do you mean per season or for the whole year? 🤔
You inspired me to tackle my closet. Thanks for that!

First time I haven’t liked your shirt-it looks frumpy and boxy. Usually I love what you wear.
That was unnecessary.
