Such beautiful dresses, so romantic! I have often wanted to own long, flowy dresses but afraid I would look silly or out-of-place. I am 66 years old now and realizing I shouldn’t care what others think at this late stage in the game, right? So glad for this video. You have inspired me to take the first step in looking for a long dress or romantic skirt and see where that will take me. So thank you for that! Always a pleasure to see you.

I moved to a new city last year with nothing but one suitcase, and at the same time my partner and I got our first place together. It's been challenging for me because we don't have a lot of money and I feel like I definitely need some new pieces in my wardrobe since I have a different lifestyle and live in a different climate now, as well as we are in the process of furnishing our home. He is less passionate about minimalism than i am, and I just have to say your content has really made me remember who I am and has brought me back to myself. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. You're making a really positive impact :)

Omg, finally I found someone like me, I'm a minimalist with a romantic feminine style, I almost only wear midi, flowing dresses, in the future I want to have only dresses, they my favorite piece of clothes. I don't wear pants, only joggers to exercise.

Your husband's wardrobe is incredible! I saw it! Impressed! I could never do it though. I like having a bit more. Love your dresses. Undies and bras is something that's not minimal in my wardrobe (I think I wrote that in another comment come to think of it lol!). I find that jeans is great when it's cooler weather or pure winter. They still work for me, although my black ones is starting to look a bit worn out (with cat hairs!). Your wardrobe is minimal and beautiful and the dresses - you look so pretty in them

Love your wardrobe…I like to see different peoples focus in their clothing, for instance how you have no shorts, skirts or cardigans 😊 where as I love my shorts skirts and cardigans but not jumpers 😂 I also have jackets but not a waterproof coat - abit silly of me in England 😂 I currently have 46 items but I am trying to slowly reduce my items even more but through sustainably wearing them out. As you also mention about certain plastic clothing - that you keep it for as long as possible as the plastic in certain garments are unavoidable 👙. I’m just wondering 🤔 whether cotton crochet bikinis even have plastic? - Gosh, avoiding plastic is hard work 🥵 😂. I meant to also add I have a minimalist necklace similar to your vegan one that I got from etsy shop coined minimalist where a proportion of profits go to PETA / GREENPEACE & Friends of the earth 🌍 which are trying to combat plastic use.

I will definitely look into that Etsy shop! I love my necklace and I love combating plastic! ❤️

Over the past several years, I have gotten rid of almost all my clothes except for dresses. I find pants uncomfortable (partly due to severe IBS). There is just something so simple about a dress - I put on my bra and bike shorts and then throw a dress over the top. No need for trying to match anything. It makes life so much simpler.

Hola! Absolutely ❤ my tips are 1. Learn to sew “French seams”. They make linen clothing last longer and feel professional. 2. Start easy. Scrunches, T-shirt’s and big dresses are very easy to make. And nice to wear! 3. All my patterns come from www.fabrics-store.com/sewing-patterns. Just select “free”. And they even have instruction - so good for learning. My dresses I mixed and matched different patterns to make something I wanted. And the pants are the “Moroccan pants” ❤ Good luck!!!

is this your wardrobe for the whole year? do you have a tip, if you constantly think "i can definitely use this part someday"? And if you need a certain wardrobe for work?

yes it is! I like to think that it is not the end of the world if I give it away and regret it, as long as I have something to wear and I do not buy something new (but second hand I think is okay). But I normally put these clothes away for about 1-12 months and if I have not used it in that time I will just get rid of it. Sometimes this makes me even start wearing those clothes more! But sometimes I just have to give it up. I am just getting rid of a dress this week that i have been hesitant to sell. But I have not worn it in 2 years! :)

I understand not wanting to buy plastic clothing. Is recycled polyester (or similar things) an option for you? They obviously still produce micro plastic in the wash but at least you´re not creating any new plastic. Your wardrobe looks great. I´m also vegan but i make exceptions for high quality down or wool, which i can get years or decades of use out of.
