Your wardrobe looks really nice on you! It's funny because most of it is miles away from what i would pick out for myself, but on you it all makes perfect sense and looks so coherent and peaceful! Nice how you're showing people how good it looks when someone embraces their own looks, taste and values!

I share your point on wearing clothes for years. I do it too. I even have a sweater that my mom wore before I was born (I am in my late 20s) and it still looks better than some new items in stores. I have never bought something because it was fashionable at the time but because I liked it and my wardrobe consists mainly of things I have had for 7-8 even 10 years.

Thank you so much Ann! What you said really resonates with me. I think it's so important to care for our pieces to allow for years and years of use. Even the ones I bought from fast fashion companies years ago are still in good enough condition to wear. So I think it really matters how we care for our items. :)

I liked the green on you. Green can be hard to wear for those of us with fair skin and blonde hair,but you picked the perfect shade of green. I love your pink sweater best I think. I finally gave up on inexpensive tee shirts that lose their shape after a few washes and added 5 nice black tops as my basic look. My body shape has changed, so rather than living in pajama bottoms, I invested in two pair of jeans that actually fit. Thank you for being the catalyst I needed to have clothes that fit NOW rather than waiting for the elusive day that my 69 year old body will look like it did when I was 30! It feels very freeing. Have a wonderful weekend, Vera.😇

I honestly love the white top!! It might be a "trend" piece, but I find the puffy sleeve shape to be so flattering and feminine and found I added several tops to my own wardrobe with them since I know I won't be able to find them anymore, soon. Honestly, I have always found your wardrobe so lovely--it matches your soft and calm personality, looks so put together, and inspires me to keep things limited to things I love. Helps we have similar taste! ;)

I thought I had paired down my clothing but now you really have me thinking about more items taking up realestate in my closet that can find a happier home. Post COVID shutdown more of my coworkers have commented on how comfort is key now in getting dressed and I agree. I need to re-evaluate also the "fantasy me" lurking in my wardrobe and will feel so much better to have more breathing room in my closet when it's all said and done.

That mint green shirt looks fabulous on you! 😍 mint & lavender are two pops of Color I have in my wardrobe. I can surprisingly wear so many different ways! Also I’m the most comfortable in my ankle length skirts! I love wearing them to church on Sunday’s!

@SimpleHappyZen Жыл бұрын

Thanks Ronnie-Lynn!! I LOVE lavendar on others, but on me, I'm still not sure. I think soft pastels kind of wash me out. Perhaps the mint sweater works on me, because the color is quite saturated. Anyway, have a great weekend! 🤗💖

I just recently discovered your channel and I love it! Your wardrobe is so beautiful, simple, and realistic. I love the way you are in touch with your lifestyle and your clothing needs. I also love to wear jeans, tops, and sneakers. I tried getting all of the "must haves" for a capsule wardrobe, and they never felt right. It's wonderful to be yourself!

@imtherapycat Жыл бұрын

I really appreciate your video on your wardrobe. I wear scrubs to work during the week, but in my off time I wear jeans 90% of the time with either a sweater or sweatshirt or t-shirt. I loved your long grey sweater as I needed an idea of what to wear over a top with jeans, and that's a great idea! Occasionally I would like to dress up a bit and have 1 pair of black slacks that I can wear a tank top with, and 2 dresses. I also have a black pair of jeans to dress up a notch from bluejeans! I have 5 pair of shoes, and that's about it. I haven't formally minimalized - I just never liked buying clothes!

@elizabethkerr7690 Жыл бұрын

The white Lacey blouse was my favorite, a true classic. I can see why you don’t reach for the black denim jacket. It seems a bit harsh for your personality. The mint green one, you are unsure of. I don’t know why. You choose that color on your couch pillow, your flower pot, your background on your website screens, I think you like that color. I think you should wear it in a video and see what you think after you replay the video. I have a lot less clothes than I used to. I have downsized to two areas, office work, and weekend. This has helped me to keep them in separate places, this way, I don’t accidentally wear inappropriate clothing. That sounds funny, but it’s true. Thank you Vera ! I have been enjoying your content for over five years now. 🌞

Your point about not having formal things made me think of a coral pink strappy maxi dress I bought on holiday... it's so impractical and there's so much fabric that it takes up too much space in a suitcase. It's in the maybe pile!

I'm retired so I don't need much clothing anymore. I have less than 50 pieces total and usually wear yoga pants at home and jeans when I go out. My two pair of jeans are both more than 25 years old and are faded but still nice. Since I live in Florida where it never gets too cold, I have a cardigan, a blazer and a vest but have never worn them. I have two pairs of nice flip-flops, not the typical cheap ones but nice. I have cute Japanese tabi socks to wear with them if my toes get cold. I have one backpack. Your wardrobe is very nice, well chosen and comfortable looking. I really like the green sweater for you. I really like the shoes and will be looking at them for myself. Thanks.

@ms.schnapp7415 Жыл бұрын

Enjoyed this video! Thanks for the inspiration. Since your wardrobe is small, you know each of the pieces very well and you make sure they all get used. It was only in the last two years that I learned how much of a burden our clothes can be. The time spent shopping, the expense, choosing all the styles for the various aspects of our lives, the care, the space consumed, delivery, packaging...I love the mint green on you. Adds just enough pop of color, and that's nice to see once in a while.

Great shoe collection as well.👌 Pretty happy with my own wardrobe although I'm still going to declutter a few items that I no longer love and wear. I used to have a way bigger wardrobe but feel like I have more to wear now. I do need a few basic items but I'm in no rush and will only buy when I really love something.

Love your wardrobe. It suits you. My fav is your pink sweater and green winter jacket. I have been decluttering my wardrobe for 3+ years. I am down to 58 items from 120. Everything is comfortable, my colors and appropriate for my figure. I have learned so much from KZfaqrs like yourself regarding proportions, quality, fit, longevity and personal style. Occasionally an item doesn’t work out, I immediately donate to charity even if I only wore it one time. This is the most satisfied I have ever been with my wardrobe. Thank you for sharing your life.

It made me chuckle when you mentioned that you get lots of compliments about your blue sweater because I've always loved the colour of that sweater too 😊. As for my wardrobe I pretty much have a 'uniform' which I stick to pretty much every day which consists of a long sleeve top over which I wear a plain t-shirt (think a less colourful/patterned and ethical version of what Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang Theory wears lol 😂 ) paired with either jeans, chino trousers or shorts. When it gets too hot for that outfit (yuk) I will wear a simple shirt. I also have a hoodie for when it's chilly - now if I could find a new one in the same colour as your blue sweater I'd be a very happy bunny - and a winter jacket. I do need a proper rain coat (I think the UK can't be that different from the Netherlands in that respect 🌧☔). And talking of jackets I think your casual off-green jacket looks really great. .

TY Vera for sharing your wardrobe with us. I find your wardrobe so easy to mix & match pieces and that's what I'm working on! I can definately get distracted by buying too many patterns and that makes it difficult to match and make different combos which makes you buy more items. I am doing much better but you gave me some good ideas! My favorite item is your brown cable knit sweater and the pink fits your complexion perfectly I think. I do think the green/aqua color is fine on you but I like some of the others better on you. 🏵

On your jackets. I love the casual 16:51 green boxy one and I like the nice teal/green winter coat that is warm and water proof. I would probably add a wool coat to your wardrobe. I LOVE my wool coat cuz you can dress up or down and the style is always in. I’ve learned the best length wool coat is longer then a pea coat but not as long as to the knees. Mid thigh works! Cuz whether your wearing pants, dress or skirt the length works for all three! And it’s not too much or too short.

Thank you Vera for letting us peek in your closet. You have lovely taste and your clothes are all stunning on you. I have decluttered to what is a great minimum for me. I have between 50- 100 for all 4 seasons here in the Northeast of the USA, depending on whether you count undergarments, socks, and sleepwear. I tend to wear leggings and soft tunics and cardigans. I do have lots of socks because I got them in bulk, which was silly. Like you, when I find something that is well made and I love, I keep it. So eventually my closet will shrink even more. It’s lovely and peaceful to look at all that open closet space and know I have plenty to wear for years to come! Blessings and grateful thanks Vera 🥰💖

On the subject of hoodies/warm jumpers it would be worth having a spare one to hand this winter, given that our heating bills will be increasing dramatically. I was going to declutter an old hoodie but have decided to hang onto it for the winter now in case it’s really needed.

@SimpleHappyZen Жыл бұрын

Yes, great suggestion! I actually have quite a few things that are very warm. And I layer up as well :) So for example, I'll wear yoga pants underneath really warm pajama pants, and then a tank top, underneath a long-sleeved shirt, underneath a warm sweater. Then socks and warm slippers, and if I'm still cold, I'll curl up underneath a warm blanket. And only then, if I'm still cold, I'll turn up the heater a bit haha

This really put into perspective how excessive my current wardrobe is 😬 Thank you so much for your videos - they are so helpful as a recovering shopping addict. I would recommend Everlane if you are looking for a more formal coat! Just bought The Cotton Modern Trench Coat myself for this past season and highly recommend. It is sustainable and I'm 90% sure vegan as well, plus very easy to dress up or down (also on sale at the moment!). Also I love the turquoise color on you that you are unsure about, it looks really stunning with your skin tone and eyes! In general all of your pieces are timeless and such good colors on you... I'm guessing light summer seasonal palette? :)

Funny you mention the blue and pink sweater gets you most compliments! That's because you are a summer color type and these 2 shades (light 'cool' blue and light 'cool' pink) are 2 of your best colors 🥰😍

Thank you so much Tania!! I'm a sweater person too haha. I actually talked about it in the video, but I cut that part out since it was getting too long. But yes, I don't really enjoy shopping that much for clothing, except for sweaters. So I'm always trying to make sure I don't go overboard with them hahaha

I think my biggest problem is that I'm not particularly attached to clothing, but if I truly only kept what I loved or what I was attached to, I would have a pretty useless closet for my lifestyle. I'm forced to keep half of my closet for practicality reasons. Like you, I have clothes that are a decade old that I wear regularly, and if I wanted to, could keep wearing for another handful of years. Another problem I have is getting rid of older clothing that is showing its age (stretched/wrinkled/discolored collars, very faded, etc) but is still wearable because other people are unlikely to notice the wear and tear that I notice.

@SimpleHappyZen Жыл бұрын

I can relate :) With the older pieces that are showing their age, perhaps just keep it simple and ask yourself if you still enjoy wearing them. If the answer is no, and you also don't need them because you have enough other options, then it could be time to let them go :)

Hey Vera, I loved this video, thank you for sharing your wardrobe with us! 💚 I loved the floral blouse and the white feminine lace top in your closet. Even if it's a little bit trendy, romantic light coloured blouses come into fashion every spring, so I think it can be considered timeless. I loved your cute oat coloured knit top as well. And those blush bags are to die for 😍 It's hard to say only by seeing you on screen, but I think that you're a Light summer in the Seasonal colour analysis world, and that's why you get a lot of compliments when you wear those pinks and blues. I also think those shades look stunning and really harmonious on you. You can absolutely wear all the colours that you enjoy, I just think it's good to know these informations even if we don't follow it 🌸 How about secondhand fancy wintercoats? They are usually easy to find, I thrifted mines and I get a lot of compliments on them.

@SimpleHappyZen Жыл бұрын

Ah that's so cool, thanks for sharing the info about the seasonal colour analysis. I did some googling and I totally recognize myself in that. It'll make it so much easier to find new pieces that work on me :) Thanks!!

@shanathelittle Жыл бұрын

@@SimpleHappyZen I'm so happy that you find it helpful 💚 You can wear whatever colour you want of course but these colours will naturally harmonize with you, while with other colours you may need more make up to look good (for example a black top can look edgy with black eyeliner). And if the colour isn't close to your face it really don't matter as much. I like to nerd out on style that's why I know this but if it's not your interest this is the long story short version :D Have a great day 🌸

Thanks for this video, I was one of the people requesting it. I really enjoyed seeing more dark blue or navy instead of just black and seeing some colour in there. It's a refreshing take on the usual minimalism wardrobes I see around. I particularly loved your brown sweater and your dark blue top with the details at the shoulders. I think dark blue is one of the most flattering colours a pale person with blue eyes can wear, it looks amazing on you. 💙 Do you ever wear the long sweater with leggings? It would look so nice and cozy with navy leggings and your navy boots. 🤩 I own a few more items than you do, but I'm very happy with the size of my wardrobe and I think I have what I need. And it comfortably fits in half of the wardrobe and half of the dresser, which was my goal all along.

I got rid of black from my wardrobe and tend to go for navy or charcoal instead. I wear jeans and tshirts through winter ( it doesn’t get too cold here in Australia where I live) and I wear dresses through summer. Comfort is my top necessity, if it’s not comfortable, out it goes.

I had a hard time getting rid of some clothing items because ‘in case of..’. Even with the good decluttering tips from this channel. Then came the war. Just 3 countries from where I live. When I knew that trucks were leaving for Ukraine with everything needed, I didn't hesitate. I was sure that people could use the items and that they ended up well (acquaintances went along). Now I am very satisfied with my wardrobe and I have a different view on the whole 'fashion/getting dressed' concept. Good look Vera with finding a nice winter coat!

Hi Vera, dank voor je mooie content! Vind je video's altijd fijn, ontspannend en inspirerend. In je video gaf je aan soms wat zoekend te zijn: staat dit mij en/of past dit bij mijn figuur? Ik heb een tijdje terug zo'n workshop gedaan waarin ze kijken naar wat voor figuur je hebt en welke kleuren staan je goed. Dit heeft mij onwijs geholpen in het maken van duurzame kledingkeuzes. Ik doe nu bijna nooit meer een miskoop, shop gerichter, draag echt veel wat ik koop en kan beter kleding kopen waar ik ook lang blij mee ben, omdat het past bij mijn figuur en teint. Een investering van tijd/geld die het dubbel en dwars waard is geweest voor mij. Wie weet is zoiets voor jou ook helpend! :) Nogmaals dank voor je fijne content!

I enjoyed this very much Vera - you are so inspiring! I have too many clothes ... although I'm doing much better than in the past and I keep peeling away at it ... ! My favorite item you showed is your green/Khaki jacket - I just love that style and color!!!! I have a real weakness for bags, jackets and hoodies. It's hot here most of the time so I enjoy when we finally get to fall/winter so I can wear my favorite things. :) I do think I have a very deep scarcity "thing" when it comes to clothing ... so the progress I have made is good ... I'm so picky about the fabric, fit and comfort of everything and it can be such a challenge to find replacement items ... lol ... so when I find something that works well my tendency is to stock up ... especially athletic shoes and jeans. :)
