MY KID'S FALL CAPSULE WARDROBE!

[@ariannapflederer]

You can check out all the pieces in the wardrobe in my Kit here : bit.ly/2poBziQ

[@sarahk8464]

Their wardrobe is very similar to my 2 year olds. She has 7 shirts, 4 leggings, 1 pair of jeans and 2 dresses. Everything is interchangeable mix and matchable. I didn't know that they had a name for this kind of wardrobe. lol. I just picked her clothes this way so she (or her dad) can pick 1 item from each drawer and look presentable. haha I also don't do graphic t's. She might get one for Christmas as her "something to wear" gift... but that would be my limit.

[@slonemagyar1034]

The girls were killing me in the clips of them trying on the cloths

[@taylaroach9447]

The bib thing cracked me up. I have a 4 and 2 year old and I take their clothes off. 😂 I wish mine kept bibs on because now they try to take off their shirts at restaurants

[@ariannapflederer]

Haha! I don’t know if its just personality or consistency! We have always done bibs from the time they started solids. I have definitely stripped them down before though. The girls won’t even eat now without a bib! If I forget they just sit there and yell “BIBS!” 😂

[@taylaroach9447]

So funny! We did BLW with them and always used those same bibs you have but then they started ripping them off. So now we have shirtless kids for most meals. I’ve been watching a lot of your minimalist videos since we are in the process of moving from Georgia to Japan. So we could only take 2,500 pounds out of our house. With 2 kids and a newborn it seemed impossible but we made it! 😂

[@Katy_living_simply]

@@ariannapflederer what kind if bibs do you use? Plastic ? Fabric? Pocket?

[@maddiejoy7896]

Yup agree completely on the graphic character tees!

[@lolingyou3298]

I hate graphic clothes too..lol...I don't want my kids to have unrealistic superheroes...or fake idols...but like u said..somtimes and onlyyyy sometimes..😅

[@candyluna2929]

I don't have kids but I have thought about this.

[@swillou2]

Same.... my daughter has some Minnie Mouse and hello kitty but then onl6 wants to wear them. I prefer little hearts etc

[@swillou2]

I have banned graphic bed linens too. It drives me nuts, I like really plain or girly bedding, my poor son.

[@tylerj1602]

I love old navy pjs but gosh they are so expensive often I will buy them when they move them to clearance (which often makes them off season aka short sleeve in winter and vice versa) but I am ok with that because I just can’t justifying 22$ on one pair of Pjs with four kids lol! Loved those dresses from old navy !

[@hhoover6235]

I just discovered your channel! LOVE! Please share a spring/summer kid's wardrobe video - I need ideas as I'm shopping for my 3 year old daughter.

[@mariocartel544]

How far apart are your girls? I feel like mine will match up in size at some point, my 4 month old is in 9 month clothes and my 18m old is in 12-24 months but mainly on the smaller end like 12-18 lol. One is big and one is small

[@bethanygunther7657]

Just FYI...Henley’s have buttons down the front of a tee shirt...usually 1/4 of the way down on the front

[@ariannapflederer]

Lol, yea I suppose. I was more so talking about the common material/style of the actual shirt that Henley’s have. Or the “waffle” look.

[@HisRealChild]

I completely agree with not buying too many clothes. I'm a stay at home Mom and target has everything I need. I've saved so much money. We rarely go anywhere too fancy but if we do I buy when I need only.

[@chelseagarchar4338]

I’m starting to get away from the more graphic tees to super cute prints like feathers and horses or tractors etc. I’ve gotten rid of quite a few things already, but I already have a full wardrobe for both my kids in their current size. So I’m waiting till they move up a size then I will continue to go somewhat plainer in patterns and colors. Expecting our third in March so I’m already starting out with way less for this next one cause I got rid of a huge majority of the baby clothes a year ago. To my kids younger cousin when she was born.

[@1989Blinky]

I loved the modelling so so cute 😍 also I wish I could be more minimal with my daughter. I feel like its where I get lost. And the everyone buys her stuff and so many clothes and im like she has enough I dont want to drown in baby/toddler clothes ... inspiring video! 😘😘

[@Ciardowney]

Everything you got is adorable, but those flower dresses! 😍

[@swillou2]

Your kids are the cutest xxx thanks for a great wardrobe video. I’m obsessed with minimising my kids stuff.... but with 5 and boy girls mixed it’s harder. I have so much up in the cupboard stored away

[@genevievediy1144]

I allllllways used bibs. It’s strange to me seeing so many not using them. Great clothing choices for your adorable girls. :)

[@LesfacettesdeCaro]

*Hi! I'm a french mom of a 4 years old girl and I've just discovered your channel with this video. Thanks for these advices and inspiration. And your girls are so cute!!*

[@tayelmore]

Love it all! I get so many hand me downs for my daughter I rarely have to buy anything. We love those Osh Kosh jackets I scored one last fall for 50 cents!

[@nikkim9537]

Great Dane!!!!😍😍😍 I miss mine😞 even tho he ate my husbands socks😂😂

[@MissyDcherrydaisypie25]

I wish I could do this with Joshua the blessing we had this fall was a friend getting rid of her sons entire size 8-10 wardrobe . A lot of it he can wear for years since he has Goldenhar Syndrome he grows slower. I literally scored on Poshmark buying him a bunch of size 8 jeans from Children’s place . It’s harder with teen girls I have to shop with our girls now . Hoodies are so versatile .

[@meh5069]

Loved this capsule! I agree with old navy pjs going down, children’s place also get worn down so fast! I’ve thrown out numerous sets because of holes in the knees

[@kristinodwell2479]

I had no idea what a capsule wardrobe was thanks for sharing love you and your family.

[@callieshufelt]

Loved this! I use this approach with my two boys. They are 15 months apart, but can pretty much wear all the same stuff. It's so helpful! 😊

[@callieshufelt]

+++ when we are home 95% of the time my boys are just running around in undies. 😂 So we might rewear an outfit 3-4 times if it's just for running into town and whatnot. It's so helpful with laundry!!! 👌🏼

[@ariannapflederer]

My kids prefer just wearing underwear too 😂

[@callieshufelt]

@@ariannapflederer I don't have a problem with less laundry at all!! 😁 Just found your channel from your new video if your kids room!! It is absolutely perfect and exactly what I'm going for with my boys. Just slightly more gender neutral colors. We are getting the kura bed soon and I cannot wait!

[@ariannapflederer]

Aw yay! Happy decorating 💛 and thank you for watching!

[@candysfamily4650]

Thank You for sharing this video. I've been wanting to do something like this for my two toddler girls a 2yr old and a 3yr old. I didn't know about capsule wardrobe. Now that I do, I'm going to do it for spring/summer. FOr fall i already did some shopping, so it late. Do a video on you're capsule wardrobe, I'll love to see a video on that.

[@kotiloss]

Your girls, are just too cute.. i love your minimalism content, because i am trying to simplify life witg our family of 8! 😘😘😘

[@krisnkids5314]

Some graphic tees kill me 😂 I do let my kids pick some of their clothing and for that my daughter has some great kitty cat shirts lol

[@alszkx3021]

You have a great choice, i am currently doing a monochrome wardrobe for my son.

[@donnabrown4349]

I like the navy and wine color dresses.

[@bethanynelson8041]

I love this! I have a boy (Revs age) and a girl (19 m) and I never know what to get my kids that’s affordable. So we will be trying the old navy tights because after a boy, I never even thought of putting her in tights. Haha. My son loves shirts with things on them and we love the old navy shirts. They’re cute.

[@lisahanlon6454]

Thanks for the fun video!! I’ll now try to do a capsule wardrobe for my one year old 💪🏻😊

[@GreenISHKatie]

Very helpful! I’ve had a capsule wardrobe myself and I’m literally heading to my girls closet now to PURGE! Thanks for the motivation! You seriously make it look so easy! Thanks again! I’ve already checked out primary.com and can’t wait to make my first purchase! Also heading to checkout those tennis shoes. We get our girls shoes from target mostly as well!😁

[@jessicabaker9872]

Love this! Have you minimalized your kitchen? If so could you do a tour? That's one of the hardest places for me. Thank you

[@alszkx3021]

Very nice caspule wardrobe

[@nlm3415]

LOVE the flowered dresses!!

[@meshell4993]

And as for bibs,even I still wish I could wear it in public lol especially when I wear white!!

[@morganH551]

I love this video!!! I’ve been wanting to do a capsule wardrobe but didn’t know where to start. I also dislike graphic tees ha

[@Motherhood1]

Hey arianna! Will you be doing an updated fall wardrobe video? Would love to see! 💜

[@ariannapflederer]

Yes of course, when it’s closer to fall :) it’s still in the 90’s here though in North Carolina. So it will be a while haha!

[@Motherhood1]

@@ariannapflederer Girl I know haha I now live in charlotte today was so hot my feet were instantly swollen 😂 definitely not used to this heat its diff from NY. Lol I was trying to get a head start shopping for my 3 year old before all the prices hike up and things sell out.. But not alot available yet. For some reason i feel like in NY all the stores are like ahead by one season 🙆

[@ariannapflederer]

I’ve noticed that! They bring things out the same time that they did back in Illinois...but it’s way hotter here. So it makes no sense! I probably won’t post their fall capsule till the end of August though :)

[@candyluna2929]

Best models ever!!!! Too cute! God bless

[@lyndsaywildman9377]

I’m really excited for this video!! Can’t watch it yet bc well mom life but looking forward to it! ☺️☺️

[@rynbarrett844]

I forgot you guys are in NC now! How did you make out with Hurricane Florence? Love this video btw! Want to start trying this out with my 10 month old And this is a great start.

[@ariannapflederer]

Thanks for checking in! We thankfully were not hit as bad as we were supposed to be. We did end up evacuating because being without power with kids, 3 dogs, and being pregnant didn't sound fun! But because the hurricane shifted south more, our area wasn't hit bad at all! We only lost power at home for about an hour. We do have others in our community that lost power for a few days and had flooding though! So thankfully our neighborhood was just in a good location :)

[@bethanynelson8041]

Your comment about graphic ts. 😆 My son loves his graphic ts. I don’t. 😂

[@saudadedeinkinka]

Your kids are so cute!!!

[@laurenryan9932]

I like thrift store shopping you can get much more.

[@SkunkyLorrie]

Lauren Ryan yes! I almost never buy new clothes for my kids 😂 only if on a good sale

[@jessicabaker9872]

How true to size are the pajamas? Did you order up? I usually order up when it comes to pjs, should I do the same with these?

[@ariannapflederer]

I would say for the perfect fit they are true to size. I bought a 4-5 and they are bigger on my girls, but I did that purposefully so they would fit them longer. They still stay up on them! But the 2-3 would have been the perfect fit for their current size!

[@jessicabaker9872]

@@ariannapflederer thank you! I ordered a size up. Thank you for introducing me to primary.com, I'm obsessed now!

[@ariannapflederer]

They do have free returns too to exchange if needed! Obviously a nuisance, but helpful when you are online shopping for clothes 🙂 I hope you enjoy everything! I’m planning on getting the hoodies from them too!

[@HealthwithHayley]

I love you channel and your video, are the clothes available in the uk? I love not having too many clothes, did you buy a few extra item when you where potty training them? Do you have any tip on potty training? Xxx

[@ariannapflederer]

We prefer no pants potty training haha. So extra pants aren’t needed :) aerie isn’t fully potty trained yet though! She is in pull ups though and very close Aerie runs around with no diaper or pants on a lot though (sometimes we just do underwear) and that’s how we potty train! And I am not sure if these shops are available in the UK. Primary might ship there 🙂

[@britaneelilly8147]

Curious if you've ever looked into minimalist footwear, especially for the girls.

[@ariannapflederer]

Confused haha. Is that a specific brand or style? I showed their two pairs of shoes for the fall/winter season...which is definitely minimal. They just have tennis shoes and a pair of boots lol.

[@britaneelilly8147]

Yes you're right, their wardrobe is minimal! I worded that in an odd way. Minimal footwear allows the foot to move and grow naturally. Moccasins, barefoot shoes, and other "zero drop, wide toe box" flexible shoes allow this to happen. Shoes with narrow toes and heels do not. You guys are naturally based like our family so you may be interested to look into it. Our favorites are Carozoo, Starry Knight Designs, Livie and Luca, and for myself I LOVE my Merrell VaporGloves. ❤

[@ariannapflederer]

Our girls wore moccasins for quite some time! I will have to look more into the actual idea though. I haven’t always been a fan of unsupportive shoes for kids, so the idea doesn’t really click with me. I will research more into it though 🙂

[@lolingyou3298]

First💪💪 Im watchin and am happy Love u

[@Ninetales_1989]

I love them

[@ambervds4585]

I hate graphics minus prints like polka dot, floral,stripe, etc.but we too have a couple graphics for special days to Disney ( from FL!)

[@Magdalena287]

My youngest would never wear a bib, once she could move her arms she would wail and wail until she ripped it off, I even tried to sew buttons on the back and it never worked :(

[@TheJoyfulMom]

My son doesn’t have a ton of clothes which means they wear out faster because there aren’t as many in rotation so they aren’t able to be passed down to future kids. That’s probably because I got them at Walmart. :-/ I’ve been impressed with old navy and target (which are hand me downs from his cousin). I guess it pays to buy better quality.

[@BreeandBaby]

I’ve also found that Walmart stuff really only holds up for one season, which is a bummer because the prices are awesome! Target’s Cat and Jack line and their Carter’s line are both pretty affordable (pants around $5-$9, shirts around $8-$10, outfit sets around $15-$20). I also love Kohl’s for clearance clothes and they have awesome sales all the time (they recently had a $6, $7, $8 sale on t-shirts, bottoms, and sweaters).

[@DiLifeandStyle]

Sounds good in theory, but I have 2 boys and this number of clothes would not last the week. Plus, I love dressing them up for special occasions, as well as having worn out clothes for outside play. I don't buy everything new, though.

[@ariannapflederer]

It’s still possible to have a capsule type wardrobe with messy kids 😉 your number just wouldn’t be quite as small. This is just what works for my kids who aren’t messy haha.

[@l0vemak3up]

Very nice and practical clothing! I really dislike graphic clothing for kids or clothing with words or sayings...I find it very difficult to shop for my girls because all the shirts and sweaters have things written on them like “princess” “so cute” ...it’s not a great message to be sending in my opinion. How about stores just sell normal clothing and let the kids speak for themselves instead of their clothing!

[@ariannapflederer]

Some sayings I don’t mind! But there are some that are absolutely ridiculous! Like “I’m always right” or some other saying making a joke of kids attitudes. So bad!!!

[@Maiju86]

How can kids wear one pair of shoes whole year? I have to buy new shoes many times a year since their feet are growing so fast. My biggest is 6 now and he grows more slowly now but still can't use the same pair for one year. 🤔

[@ariannapflederer]

I think you may be confused, I never said is was for a full years. It’s their fall capsule 😉 if they grow out of them or wear them down, then I’ll get a new pair then!

[@ellenkhu688]

I literally try to put on a bib on my 11 month old every time she eats and every time she pulls them off...🤦🏻‍♀️

[@sheenaaikins4939]

So I found this video interesting (as I do most of your videos Arianna). All the clothes you got the girls are super cute (the long sleeve shirts with the lower shoulder hem are ADORABLE)!! I have a question though. And I do NOT mean any disrespect by this. So, you mentioned that you're not a fan of graphic tees. Some of them, yes, are pretty crazy these days. However, what about the cartoon ones like Disney princesses/superheroes/tv show characters? The Minnie shirt was super cute! I feel like, as long as it's not offensive/vulgar/sending the wrong message, then I don't understand the concern. I guess, I feel like clothing is a form of self expression and even at their young ages, they should be able to express themselves (within limits of course, no question). Anyway, I'm not a parent, so I'm in no way judging. I think you're doing a great job with the girls. Just an honest question from an outsider's perspective. Hope all that made sense. And P.S. Still can't wait to find out baby girl's name :)

[@ariannapflederer]

Definitely not disrespectful at all! No worries! As I mentioned, you need to sometimes put your kids interests above your own. And that is what I did! But, I don't think clothes are something that you NEED to do that with. With a capsule wardrobe, graphic tee's are not something that can easily be worn with several different pieces and work for several different occasions. I can easily dress up almost every piece of their clothing or dress down. Where as with the Minnie Mouse shirt, I can't! So it defeats the purpose of a capsule wardrobe :) I personally have just never been a fan of character shirts for kids. It's all opinion and preference...but I find 90% of them not cute at all 😬 And...right now, they are kids. I am the one spending my money on their things too. But, if they want to buy something with their earned money then they can go for it! Rev never asks for anything though except something from the ice cream truck or food in general. For the most part she see's things in stores she likes and says "wow that is so beautiful!" or "wow this is so cool"! But its a whole encompassing parenting moment. Teaching kids the difference between needs and wants, between what is practical and not practical, between what is self expression and what is just a materialistic want :) I most certainly as a parent want to make sure I let my kids be their own people, but that doesn't have to be done on an extreme level!

[@lindsayvanrenterghem2377]

good taste

[@meshell4993]

The names confuse me,capsule wardrobe and minimalist community,lol..is that a normal thing in America? Also why do you guys dress to the seasons and do your houses up to the seasons? Has it always been like that? We are dead boring in NZ haha

[@ariannapflederer]

Haha! Minimalism is a way of living. I did a video on what it is a few weeks ago :) capsule wardrobe is the type of wardrobe many minimalists have. As for dressing up for weather...you kind of have to dress for the weather since the temperature changes so much! Haha. And decorating for holidays is totally normal. The only “season” people really decorate for is fall. Definitely something that has been happening here in the US for as long as I have been alive 🙂
