I have had a total of 40 clothing pieces for the last 2 years. It is the perfect amount of clothes to know what I have & wear everything!!

@margaretmatheny 3 года назад

Ahhh fantastic. I will get to that point! See it’s people like you that inspire me-this is the best way of life!

@dianagarduno3095 3 года назад

Do you have winter clothes also?

@ritalynb7070 3 года назад

@@dianagarduno3095 No. I own a total of 40 clothing items for year round wear. The winters here are very cold (-50C is possible) so I layer up in winter and remove layers for summer. I should note that the 40 items do not include underwear, shoes or coats. Because of living in a climate with 4 seasons, I have more shoes/boots (12 pairs) and coats (5) than I would like.

@margaretmatheny 3 года назад

@@dianagarduno3095 those are literally all the winter clothes I have! I just use my puffy coat all day every day. I have one more sweater on my list for the winter, but we will see if I can go without!

Just want to say I’m all for minimalism but you being a mother doesn’t mean you should let go of enjoying a feminine wardrobe and celebrating yourself as a woman, every outfit should have its purpose & fit for different occasions .. it’s an advice from a mother to mother ♥️

@margaretmatheny 3 года назад

Thank you!! Every view, opinion and all advice is welcome. For me particularly, I think the pieces I have do just that. It's all I need and I'm fully aware that this is what works best for me! Some mommas have different needs and loves which is what makes us unique and different. How boring it would be if we all though the same! Thanks for your support and for watching!!

@EldariaMinecarftienne 3 года назад

First time I decluttered (in June 2020) I ended up with 150-ish items of clothing, I didn't count how much I had in the beginning but 1000 would not be exaggerating Second time, two weeks later, I downsized to 80 Then I left in september for a year abroad with 50 items And now, without even forcing myself to downsize, I have 20 items of clothing, and it still seems like a bit much to me tbh but I'm so happy

@TiffanyIma 3 года назад

@@margaretmatheny Bougie is a slang derivative of the french word bourgeoisie; and it actually was coined to mean pretending to be high class, while not actually being high class

@knitnkitten 3 года назад

Tiffany Ima I think the term originally surfaced in the mid 1800's. The English elite who had class - titles, land, & education - looked down on the nouveau riche, because they were bourgeois - they actually had to earn their money. And consequently had no class. or taste.

@janeseemann2527 3 года назад

I don’t think I’ll ever be a minimalist but I’m certainly refining what is in my wardrobe right now and what I will let into it, going forward. My current rule is that if something is not comfortable or doesn’t fit well it is going to charity. And I’m not buying anything new until I’ve finished that process.

@margaretmatheny 3 года назад

That's a wonderful mindset to be in. Thanks for sharing. I love seeing how everyone interprets it differently. That's how it's supposed to be!

Over the years I've been minimizing my closet and have let go of all the "fantasy self" clothes that I loved, but just aren't me - I like a simple and classic style and find it works well in most any setting! Would love to know/see your accessories - jewelry, purses, bags, etc. - I feel like I get hung up on all the cute purses and bags! Ahhh!

fantastic!! I really does work well in every setting. The ease of getting dresses and making decisions is one of my favorite benefits. I can definitely show you my accessories. As for my bags...there's not much to show. I own a diaper bag, lol. Just gave away my only purse. A backpack suits me better!

@gemhay8896 3 года назад

@@tanne1993 I just started getting rid of things that I didn't need (for example, I had 6 full sets of dishes, I donated all except for the one set that was my absolute favorite). I used to be an elementary school teacher but now I'm a stay-at-home mom so I gave away everything that I had accumulated from my career. I only wear shorts & t-shirts, therefore donated all my dresses, skirts, blouses, etc. Whatever item that doesn't serve a purpose gets tossed out. I haven't regretted or missed anything. It's so liberating living a minimalist lifestyle.

@margaretmatheny 3 года назад

@@gemhay8896 love this!!! I just started with one room at a time. You don't have to be finished and "fully minimal" after each declutter either. It's an ongoing process, just enjoy it! I started with my kitchen as well. Just got rid of the the cluttered mess that was going on in all of our cabinets. After you do one room, you will know so much more about the process!

Great declutter! You always look so great in the minimalist pieces and solid colored tops. And that jean jacket! 😍 The best! Good for you! I usually declutter my closet each spring and fall.

@maranathamama 2 года назад

Thank you for your lighthearted & motivating videos. This has provoked me to sift through my wardrobe & eliminate the unnecessary & hopefully bless someone else in need in the process. I checked out Everlane to see if I can fill some gaps in my wardrobe but it saddened me to see they are currently selling merchandise pushing an immoral ideology. I am unable to support that for conscience sake but would love to see more of the brands that you support that have a wholesome stance on sustainability & quality over quantity 👍🏼 Thank you again Margaret!

I've got 19 items hanging in my closet now, and like maybe 19 items total in my dresser. I don't have much because I haven't purchased a lot of clothing due to transition from postpartum..and that black hole some of us fall into after gaining weight from pregnancy lol. I really want to purchase clothing that is quality, transitions through fashion changes...I discovered I can live happily in sport shorts and a cute t-shirt. LOL

Hey! I start with just messaging friends and family that we're donating clothes and to come by to go through them. Next step I take is to contact people that I know work with refugees locally.

If they don’t treat their models etc right i can’t imagine that they treat the people sewing their clothes etc better. I just think people buying everlane should be informed about that issue and then decide if it matters to them, not trying to guilt you into not buying etc. 😊 I myself never bought from them but would always want to try them because they seemed so transparent.

@margaretmatheny 3 года назад

I got a small! Fits perfectly. but I will say the buttons just barely fit. So possibly size up for the breastfeeding months, haha. Been there:)

@margaretmatheny 3 года назад

I got the small. And it fits great! But I will say the buttons at the top juuuuust barely fit. With breastfeeding maybe go up a size?? (lol, as least I would def need to!)

Have u ever had those moments of you know becoming a minimalist and your wanting to buy more clothes because your trying to make a good outfit but u don't really have the pieces to make that outfit good and then u start buying more clothes because u wanna dress more proper

What's in the bottom half of the closet and did you count the sweaters?

@margaretmatheny 3 года назад

Hello! Thanks for being here. Bottom half is our second pair of sheets for the bed and undergarmets+socks. Counted the sweaters, yes! I actually gave most of them away. Only kept the ones I showed in the video.

:) Ha, thanks!! Such a funny phrase that I've been saying since middle school. I had friends who made a club called "modest is hottest" LOL.

Just a honest question no judgment: Why do you do your husbands laundry when you don’t like doing laundry? And why do YOU clean out HIS closet?

@margaretmatheny 3 года назад

Hi! He actually cleaned out his closet! I just wanted to be a part of it because it was an entertaining activity. Also he puts all his clothes away, I just do the loading and unloading for efficiency reasons. Love that you're all for sharing jobs. I am too! Makes the world of a difference in how the home works and how we view each other in our relationship. Thanks for your comment!

@squidy41 3 года назад

I also hate doing laundry in addition to cleaning and cooking. But I find joy in making sure my family is taken care of. Even if that means doing things I dislike. Same thing applies to my husband.

@margaretmatheny 3 года назад

@@squidy41 Thanks for this! It's truly the art of homemaking-and how to truly find joy in those endless tasks. Love your take on it!

@alysewilton3211 3 года назад

For a while I was actively getting rid of things to have low numbers in my wardrobe. Now that I have under 90 consistently, I just declutter when I notice I don't love something. I think someday I'll probably end up close to 50 items.

@lizannepitt1385 Год назад

I have to ask… how do you keep your clothing white, with young children!?

@carlabakelaar8912 3 года назад

How did you decide on the number 40?

@margaretmatheny 3 года назад

Just chose it as a starting point knowing that I need about 7-10 shirts and just filling in the needs as I went!

@pocahangun 3 года назад

I like the way you say " I have 2 children and a loooving husband" so you just don't need that top! I thought you used the term bougie because the top shows too much cleavage! Like your video! Much love from Mauritius

Hi.. Margaret, may I ask a question? how many total clothes do you have (including t-shirts, shirts, jeans, sleepwear, sportswear..etc) how many clothes do you have as a minimalist (ALL clothes)?? thankyou before for sharing Margaret🤍

@margaretmatheny 2 года назад

hmmm haven't counted since this video! I'd say about 40-45 range. Needing to declutter, but waiting to get back home to get all my clothing pieces together.

I like your vibe and your maturity- I guess; in that you don't take what other people say personal... I mean we should be like that after high school, as adults but I guess only some catch on fast. Also, I wonder if married women don't keep some items cuz their husbands like it, I know my aunt does.. so it might be a couples' thing or cultural..

@margaretmatheny 3 года назад

Thanks, those words are very kind. I appreciate you taking the time to say that. Thats an interesting thought, I wonder that as well! I'm sure it varies from woman to woman.
