MY KID'S FALL CAPSULE WARDROBE! 

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!” 😂

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! 😂

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

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

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

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

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.

+++ 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!!! 👌🏼

My kids prefer just wearing underwear too 😂

@@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!

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

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

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!

@@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 🙆

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 :)

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 :)

I haven’t gotten rid of anything yet cause they are still wearing summer clothes. They only have summer clothes though because they pretty much are already capsuled but not quite as extreme. So once colder weather hits, they wouldn’t be able to wear shorts and short sleeve shirts anyways! So they would be removed out of rotation. 90% of their pants they wear in summer they are outgrowing right now, so that’s why I bought pants for the next size up! I will take all their current clothes though that are still in good condition once fall weather actually starts here in N.C., and put them away for this baby girl due in November :)

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 🙂

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).

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!

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

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!

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!!!

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.

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. ❤

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 🙂

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.

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!

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!

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 🙂
