Just yesterday I pulled 5 tubs of seasonal clothes from the utility room, created 10 warm weather outfits and 10 cold weather outfits. Drove directly to the Salvation Army and dropped a big box of shoes and 6 big bags of clothing and accessories. I have one bag of items to sell. It's a feeling of lightness, organization, and relief.

I learned this the hard way once I got pregnant. I didn’t want a ton of maternity pieces, I realized I needed items I could mix & match from casual to dressy that fit me and made me feel beautiful. I’ve been drawn to continue this as a mom and my own children. It makes getting dress, packing for trips and laundry a thousand times easier.

Great video Madison! It is so surprising, the more clothes I let go, the better my wardrobe feels. I am slowly getting the sense of my personal style for my current season of life. Going on a much delayed Europe trip next month, and for the first time ever I will be able to pack into just carry on for 16 days. Such a satisfying feeling of contentment

[@ciannacoleman5125]

I've always hated shopping, which made me more intentional about buying clothes. Even so when I started a large declutter project last year I eventually got rid of several bags of items that no longer fit/no longer fit my style. I like variety too much to be a minimalist, plus we have quite a weather change winter to summer, but I love having an intentional wardrobe of items I like and wear often.

[@cynthiajohnston424]

Drastic seasonal change is something that many of deal with plus varied activities such as workout , gardening / yard , hobbies ( such as kayaking , skiing , equestrian , etc. ) that all require specific " wardrobe " needs . Reality check for real life , please . 🚣‍♀🏇🎾 🥾 ⛷ 🏡

Thank you 😘

[@emma472]

The first time i tried something like this was when i studied abroad. I could only take a fraction of my clothes in my suitcase which worried me at the time, but i was shocked to realise that having less clothes was freeing! It reduced my stress (and weight of my suitcase) and i began to actually live my life more rather than worrying about what to wear or how to look perfect for photos or other people. It also helped me start on my journey to financial health! Definitely this saving video to rewatch for when i need a reminder!

[@MadisunGray]

Thanks Emma! so glad you enjoyed it! ❤️

[@brittanymaloney2035]

I had a house fire and lost every single item of clothing except what I had on my body. Including my weesing dress and concert shirts, it was a hard loss for me. When I moved 2.5 yrs ago I got rid of 4 xl trash bags full of clothes.. I had so many even after that. After my recent fire, I've never felt more relief 😌 I plan on using this method. Thank you so much and good luck to anyone else going through it.

Thank you for watching Brittany

[@emilymcclain591]

Love this! Six years ago after the birth of my son when my minimalist senses kicked in, I saw all these clothes hanging in my closet that I would never wear again and so it began. The 10 item wardrobe has been key for me. I never have to overthink what I should wear because everything I have I love so much. It’s made womanhood as a mother still feel intentional and I feel good in whatever I wear. Thank you for inspiring us all to be more of who we are Madi! ❤️

Thank you Emily! ❤️

[@laura6796]

Great info! I've been working on my closet for about a month now. I just keep revisiting it and getting rid of more each time. I live in Ohio, so the weather is constantly changing. I probably won't ever do 10 items, but I think I am on the right track!

[@Deb_Creamer]

Colorado here and the seasons require a bit more than 10 items for sure!

[@christineb7725]

same here revisiting my closet constantly! and weather changes here in Vancouver, BC. keep it up! 👍🏽

[@MadisunGray]

@@Deb_Creamer I hope you don't feel like you "should" or "have to" ten item wardrobe if you don't want to! But just so you know it's not actually a strictly ten item wardrobe... you pick your ten core pieces for that season and then add the extras in that you need depending on your climate and lifestyle and taste. If I lived in a super cold place I would probably store some off season items in a waterproof bin just for practicality sake too! Thanks for watching and commenting, sorry if I wasn't clear about that. ❤

[@Deb_Creamer]

@@MadisunGray you're totally on point! Just wanted to affirm others in seasonal locations that 10 doesn't work for us but pairing down is still attainable. I have 1 pair of snow pants, 1 snow jacket, etc. I mean, only one set is really needed unless you work at a ski resort. Keep it up lady- I love ypir content and relaxed parenting (mama of 12 over here)

Right! It's not easy. You try to convince yourself that you WILL wear that piece again, someday, somewhere. Why is it so hard?????

[@m.isabelcastanon2323]

I watch all your videos and get so much value from them. This is going to sound crazy but I love your content so much that I’m here for the message and haven’t noticed until now that you mentioned that you’ve worn that shirt multiple times. And I think that it speaks it volumes because again I think most of us love your content but more than anything we’re here because of the message you share about the importance of living in the now and being more present that at least in my experience watching your videos is about that reminder and I take it in and while I’m watching not only do I feel more peaceful in that moment but it always brings me back into the now. So while I watch all your videos as they come out and get so much value from them I have never noticed what you’re wearing. And might I add I LOVE your wardrobe videos. Anyway from one minimalist to another thank you for creating this type of content and for being honest, your message/videos/content are always so refreshing! ♥️

This is the first video of yours I have stumbled across and my goodness am I grateful for seeing it! You have inspired me to change my ways and also made me realise that there is another way. I am currently on my way home from a holiday, and it is actually weighing on my mind the fact that I know I am about to get home to a cluttered closet… not just one closet, but two closets in two seperate rooms filled with clothes I don’t wear or need. The stress and burden of this is really getting to me. I have lived out of a van for the past two weeks and found that I didn’t even wear all of the clothes I brought with me! Why on earth do I think I need such excess of clothes at home?! It’s actually quite ridiculous. Not to mention painful to think of all the wasted money! All I can say is thank you so much for this video! It feels like a friendly nudge to say ‘hey, you can do this!’ I have officially set myself the challenge of minimising my wardrobe once I get home. Thank you ❤️🙏

[@MadisunGray]

Thats awesome 👏🏻 you can do this and you are in the right place ❤️

[@MixtapeofVideos]

I am trying to build this mentality that it's ok to have a few great pieces of clothes and wear the same thing a few times a week. I use to be bullied as a child for wearing the same pants (not every day) and that stuck with me till now (I'm 28). Society assumes that if you wear the same thing every day, you are poor. The idea of having a few pieces in my wardrobe sounds amazing. Less laundry, less stress of wondering what to wear each day and more space in my storage area! Thank you for this video :)

[@MadisunGray]

Yes! Thank you for watching ❤️

[@edennis8578]

I hear you! My mom insisted that we kids wear our school clothes two days in a row to save on laundry. You can guess the result. I even had a teacher in 6th grade who pointed it out in front of the whole class. I'm 67 and I never forgot. I'm hideously insecure about clothes to this day.

[@flamingofan5411]

I can relate. My parents got divorced when I was in 3rd grade and we did the every other weekend thing for a while. Eventually I went to live with my dad and stepmom and they went to church every weekend. I only had one dress. The kids at church called me the girl in the green dress. We were poor, never had much, but God used that to help me be creative. My husband once told me that I was really good at making something out of nothing. 🙏🥰

[@sydneyboyce2641]

I’ve been decluttering for a week now and already notice a huge difference in my routine. I can’t wait to get rid of more. I’m significantly less stressed about my house already and starting to do more fun stuff bc I have more time for myself 🥰

That's amazing!

[@Breeski1]

For the past couple of years I've only been able to wear what I can fit into one tote. I liked that it took no thought to make an outfit but wow I got so bored with the few options I did have. So while this minimalist wardrobe seems fun and refreshing, it gets boring fast. Loved the video though!!

[@HoffmansHouse]

You mention about not having an excess of options and I love that. I’ve heard of decision fatigue and it starts as soon as we get out of bed. I’ve loved watching your videos and I watch and rewatch several a day. I’m by no means a minimalist and I didn’t think I could even be close with a toddler but we just went through his toys and have a ton to give away! From things that he never played with to things that he grew out of playing with and a big bag of toys that he’s broken because he likes to take them apart and “fix” them. We went on a 3 month trip across the country and when we came home I felt like I had too much stuff and I wanted to throw everything away and start over. And while I know that isn’t practical it’s 100% how I felt and I’ve started the process of getting rid of things that I don’t need in my life or home. Thank you for making these videos!

I hate to tell you, but people do keep track. When I was a kid, my mom made me wear my school clothes two days in a row to save on laundry and my 6th grade teacher made fun of me in front of the entire class because of it. I've also had lots of people mention my clothes, as in, I wear too much black, or that I wear a lot of sweaters. When I was in college, two guys who passed me on the sidewalk stopped me and said, "You're that sweater girl!" On a campus of 21,000 students, btw. People notice.

[@thecross2429]

I have did it, it’s a lot of fun. And nearly every day I find one more or maybe even five more pieces that I can do without. And you are right, it makes you feel more but together having less articles to have to work with in my wardrobe. Plus it’s very calming

Thanks Madisun Gray! This is the first time I have listened to you. I enjoyed it very much. I also grew up with few clothes and when I was married and had a job, I also began buying clothes.

Omg! You described in the beginning exactly what is going with me right now. One more piece and then my wardrobe will be perfect,one more piece and I will stop for a couple of month etc. even thought I don’t own a big closet because when I am buying something then I am selling smith too. But anyway my budget suffers from constant shopping even if it is one price per month ,it costs a lot because I buy quality expensive things. But I want to start saving also . I also found it so exciting to wait for a package to arrive. I know that I just have to substitute it with something else which gives me pleasure. I am working hard on it .

Great video! I must say, I notice if a clothing item is worn in several videos, because I am obviously into the topic. But as you said, I don‘t care in a negative sense. Actually it‘s the opposite: KZbinrs who claim to be (wardrobe) minimalists and promote capsule wardrobes, but then are rarely seen with recurring clothes in their videos … I always think that someting is weird about that.

I hadn’t noticed your same outfit but did notice you’re wearing that cute shirt I like :) I’m finally down to about 11/12 items, total! A big thank you to both you and Fernanda’s 5,4,3,2,1, method. Opening the closet door feels both liberating and a bit scary. It’s also given me a solid hard look at the choices I’ve made. I like how you addressed over buying lower quality items, fun thrifting and Target clothes, because that’s been my weakness as a budget shopper. Now, I have the reality of replacing many core pieces due to poor quality. It’s eye opening.

But there are still things in life we need to try to be on top of... working out, cooking, nutrition, home school (even though we are super simply home schooling, it's still something we need to be on top of to a degree!), trying to get LOTS of nature time, but valuing keeping a clean home.

So glad Jaime!

I definitely need to reduce my number of clothing but I am finally to a point where I can say no to purchasing anything new. However with that being said that woven bag looks so multifaceted and useful. Do you remember where you got it?

[@MadisunGray]

Thank you! I got it from Etsy! I believe it's called a Handwoven Market Bag! I've had it for years!

Hi Madisun, hope you see this, I love all your videos bc they are so inspirational, bc yes I’ve seen the minimal mom and done all the things but I think it finally struck a cord bc I also have two young children and just want to be and not always do, so you have lit a light and want to thank you for giving us a little piece of you and your family, you are so brave for truly taking care of your life the way you want, we can all benefit from doing that for each of us xoxo

[@MadisunGray]

Having had various long illnesses in the last 2 years, influenza 3 times and norovirus twice, I know that I need at least 3 weeks of clean clothing on hand to see me through. I suppose when you're young and your immune system is top notch, it isn't such a problem, but things change. I need at least 21 t-shirts, and at least 6 or 7 comfy bottoms. (When I'm home sick in bed for 3 weeks at a time, it'll be knit shorts or knit pants, mostly.) Plus an adequate amount of underwear. Did I mention how much fun a noro virus is? Under normal conditions, I wear these clothes as both daytime clothes and sleepwear, so they aren't going to waste. I found several retailers that offer lines of cotton knit pants and shorts for warm-weather daywear, and they're comfortable enough for sleeping in, so that's what I do.

You inspire me! I love that sweater set ❤️

Thanks Traci, that’s so sweet ❤️

In a 10 item wardrobe, what is the typical lifespan of your clothing? How often do you have to switch items out?

[@lydiejeanie]

loved the video! for those of you who might not be ready to completely purge, but want to declutter what you don’t wear, here’s a helpful tip: at the beginning of this year I turned all my hangers backwards and once I wore that item I turned it back the right way when I put the item away. after a few months you realize what you really don’t reach for and it might help you let go of those things 🥰 I did end up getting pregnant at the beginning of the year so that made it harder because obviously there are things I can’t wear but will again once I have my baby 💕

[@MadisunGray]

Good idea 👍🏻

[@jamelynsteiger]

Beautiful video- thank you for this , very encouraging

[@beccaholland3602]

You are my favorite KZbinr!!

[@evacorthaut9881]

Maddie, I wonder where you buy your clothing? Especially the mintgreen set😊

[@MadisunGray]

I love The Wholesome Store. More from them coming soon!

[@kels_lee]

I love the idea of this! I have been whittling down my pieces over time as I wear them out, but curious to know, do you find that your clothes wear out much faster having a smaller closet? Would love to know how often you would have to replace a piece because it's too worn. Thanks Madi!

[@MadisunGray]

Yes and no. They do wear out quicker you could say, but it’s because I actually wear my items. But I think I get way more use out my clothes. And for me, all the postives of a small wardrobe far outweigh the potential negative of re-buying a item. I’ve also found that when I buy higher quality, it lasts me longer. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! ❤️

[@pamfrancisco6603]

Inspiring for someone relatively young. Wish ic could have practice earlier I'm in my 40's now.

[@MadisunGray]

So glad you enjoyed it ❤️

[@54frances]

I could not have found you at a better time. I’m 67 and my job just ended. I just got rid of 12 bags of clothes 😮 and could do more. Some brand new I’m horrible with buying stuff Thank you for video

[@MadisunGray]

Welcome 🙌🏾

[@deidrat3907]

Hi! I love your bed sheets and have been looking for that color. More warm tones and darker color sheets they’ve proven can effect your melatonin. Can I pls ask where you purchased those from? Thank you for this video 😃

[@MadisunGray]

Got these on Amazon: amzn.to/3CzcsyU Thank you for watching ❤️

[@deidrat3907]

@@MadisunGray thx for your response Madison. I look forward to your videos and enjoy your tips on decluttering Aloha! 🤙🏾🌺

[@megan_yo_]

Where are your tie waist jeans from??? They look so comfy 💕

[@MadisunGray]

I got those from a clothing swap with no tag. 🤷🏼‍♀️ thanks for watching ❤️

[@faithbenedict7823]

I really enjoy using up things and wearing em out. It makes me feel like it was money well spent. When I get holes in my clothes, that's my signal that I've done a good job of wearing them to the end of their life (some could say to repair the item, but how long I've wore my clothes, im typically ready for something new by then). Same for my kids. We don't have clothes with tags on them at the end of the season that didn't get wore. And I feel really good about that. I used to have closets full and baskets full and piles on the floor.

[@brenda_palmer2]

Can you please link the blue sweater and thick chunky cream one. I only want to light colored cozy sweaters this year

[@MadisunGray]

It's from world market! haha

[@michellepatel333]

Is it 10 items per season? I get all the seasons where I live so 10ish items overall would be hard to do

[@sammiche]

Its now an obsession to randomly see if all my clothes still fit into a suitcase. Legit- love minimalism!! ❤️

[@MadisunGray]

Yes!

[@sallybender5217]
