Wrap skirts and dresses are great for weight changes. I lost a lot of weight and my wrap skirts still look great!

[@MyGreenCloset]

Great tip! :)

I am currently going through a large weight loss journey. I'm only half way through of a lot of weight to lose. As Courtney mentioned, select items that are forgiving through a number of sizes. I've always air dried my clothing to prevent shrinking and found that if I dry once to shrink certain items, I've been able to wear them longer as I've lost. Since what I'm wearing now will absolutely not fit when I hit my goal (even shrunk!), I have been making do with current items and when I do need something in a smaller size, peruse thrift stores. I've been doing 333 for a few years now, and with that experience and in process of weight loss, I'm finding that I can make do with even fewer items that I thought possible while doing project333 and still look professional and put together.

I think my parents prevented me from over-packing rather unintentionally. When I used to live with them, they only gave me a duffel bag for traveling. So I actually had to carry it in my hand or on my shoulder and I am a very thin girl. I always packed light because of not wanting the pain on my shoulders. For example, for a 10 day trip to France all my luggage weighed 5 kg and my friends both had around 15 kg. And yes, I used that same duffel bag for 30 day trips, too. I am thankful for learning to travel light at a young age... and I still use a duffel bag, haha!

Andra T I had a bit over 5 lb of carryon for a 4 day trip last month. And I packed a jacket and a swimsuit I never used even.

This was such a great interview. I heard about this for the first time yesterday and haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I think I want to try it!

[@stucumins8511]

I enjoyed every word! Thanks to both of you for your inspirational discussion. I'm now keen to find out more more about Simple Year....off to have a look.

[@nadine_viktoria]

How great that you edited it! :)

[@AuthenblissityMain]

what a fantastic discussion - thank you so much for sharing!

This is great! I have 2 girls ages 5 and 9 and I have been through 4 sizes in the last 10 years and it's been a big barrier in reducing my wardrobe. Now I'm going to go for a loose interpretation of the size I am now.

[@amyx231]

Michelle Tulumello I still have stuff from college. I’ve went from a 8 to a 14 in the last decade. I lost 12lbs in September and am back to 12! Yay! And today I fit into an old pair of 10s! So I’m looking forward to fitting into my college pants any month now, lol. Realistically, I’ll probably end up size 10-12 and be just fine. I’m unlikely to get back to 8 but that’s alright. I’m most looking forward to fitting back into C cups and not hurting from jumping, even with sports bras on. Lol

Gr8 advice.

[@desmondehoppie4758]

Great

[@dondyvastarr9029]

This question may have been asked before in another video. Do you shop for different clothes each capsule season?

[@nevillelongbottom1628]

from what I understand, she only shops for one item at a time as something is either not fitting right anymore, wearing out, or otherwise is not working anymore.
