OUR KIDS ONLY HAVE ONE WEEK'S WORTH OF CLOTHES | Kids capsule wardrobe! I'm sharing how we as a large family of 5 and minimalists have only one week's worth of clothing for our kids. We have an infant baby, a preschool child and a school aged kid. I show you what's in their closets, all the items of clothing they have as well as talk through why we do kids capsule wardrobes, the benefits if you're on a budget as how it's good for the environment. I hope that despite the fact that our kids only have one week's worth of clothes, you see the benefits of having a kids capsule wardrobe and that you find this mommy vlog motivation and inspiring!

This is what we do! About 7 sets of clothes, 2 pjs, and a church outfit! Saves so much space and money

@danam8450 4 года назад

I am a little confused... so wear the same church outfit every time the child goes to church?

@kaleidoskop9997 4 года назад

Can‘t imagine doing this. Our 10 month old boy goes thrue up to 5 outfits aday at the moment. And I totally love the change and see him in different things. And even if I do it like you, I would have to wash much more often.

@destinyhatfield3449 4 года назад

I love the idea of only a weeks worth of clothing. Will you be doing an adult version. I struggle slightly with how I could achieve this with my own wardrobe.

@Infinitegeekster 4 года назад

I love this minimalistic idea for clothes! Could you possibly do a how you shop for new staple pieces or where you like to buy your kids clothes?

that's a great idea!

Yes, that's what I came here to say too! Would love to know your favourite places to shop. I just wrote a blog post about this exact thing that I'm posting tomorrow!

@1991-present 4 года назад

Ask people not to buy your children clothes anymore. Simple. Ask for books.

@kierstonpellowe9790 4 года назад

We have a similar issues. We suggest people give books, puzzles, or other needed items if they want to gift something, but we usually end up with outfits. I like how Elle addresses it. In other areas of my life I ask myself if it is the item the best, favorite, necessary. If not, we part ways. That method came from Emily Ley.

@jjgems5909 4 года назад

Naomi Michielse or you can ask for the next size up so when they outgrow the other clothes you have the next set of clothes and ask for the season when you expect them to outgrow the clothes. And just stow it away until they are ready to fit into it

@katedins 4 года назад

This is such an interesting idea to me. I was always baffled when I was younger and seeing my family have loads of clothes for their kids but not even get to use most of them before they grow out of that size. This is something I will definitely be implementing with my children, and I have already started applying it to my own wardrobe!

@carolann811 4 года назад

When my son was little (20 some years ago - yikes) he wanted only black clothing. It made for such easy laundry days. He also was apparently a minimalist at heart then because he was happy with two pairs of jeans, one pair of shorts and would have worn the same t-shirt all week. I did get him to agree to change his shirt daily though so he had at least six or seven. I know we did have more than seven pairs of underwear but that was my decision, not his. Now at 26 he owns five black t-shirts, one pair of jeans, one pair of shorts, two sweat pants and maybe a week's worth of underwear and socks. He can fit everything all his clothes into one load of laundry and one dresser drawer.

@withlovemary3983 4 года назад

We do time capsules also and absolutely love it! I started doing it about 2 years ago for myself and 1 year now for the kids. I do it a bit different as I also have lounge clothes which I keep separate from their going out or school clothes. The lounge clothes is basically what they play with at home or they use for the park and that sort of thing and it maintains their going out clothes nicer and stain free for longer.

@siraatalmustaqeem3646 4 года назад

Hey this is exactly what I do with my 3 kids. Its nice to know im not the only one doing '7 of everything'. Sometimes people find it quite strange when I tell them. But I love not just the minimalism but the order and simplicity of it too

So economical and so beneficial for each member of the family. 💓 I love this. Saves time, frustrations, and alleviates all the fuss we have over dressing our bodies. Fantastic, Elle!

@CoffeeLittles 4 года назад

I love this idea! I'm just nervous to actually go through with it. It does seem like it would make doing laundry so much easier!

@Happy_Tails_Toy_Poodles 4 года назад

Coffee & Littles you can pack away the other clothes and if you don’t use any of it in 3 months you may feel better getting rid of them.

@LisaGray1000 4 года назад

Another video I watched it suggested putting extra clothes in a box in garage and if you find you really want more clothes they are still there. Then get rid of them in a month or two if you dont use them. No risk that way if you are nervous

@jessicalaraby2828 4 года назад

When I took the leap to try it we hung up all the old clothes in our spare closet so I could adjust for each child plus I have 4 full seasons so I made 4 capsule wardrobes that get rotated out and handed down

@samanthahollman6949 4 года назад

This is awesome! We do similar(now) but we have 10 outfits. I had to do some real down sizing as we buy majority of our kids clothes second hand and lots of times they are a complete clothing lot. Sometimes when we purchase those they are huge or we don't end up using or liking some stuff. Especially our first born, we had SO much but now we've down sized to 10 of everything which makes life so much easier!

@smileurBeautiful 4 года назад

I would love to only have 7 socks for my son but for some reason toddler socks like to walk off 😒 lol Edit: this inspired me, I'll definitely be doing this for my son and my own clothes! I hate that the days are wasted on laundry and not spent with my kids. :)

@MrLucyd01 4 года назад

@Poodlemama1234 4 года назад

I LOVE how your kids have capsule wardrobes. I wish it had been a thing when my three were little. Like you I had two boys then a girl and oh my goodness they all had way too many clothes! I’m about to make mine a capsule wardrobe, just as soon as our new closets are finished. I can’t wait!

@kierstonpellowe9790 4 года назад

I LOVE THIS! I have so many clothes he never gets to wear and ridiculous laundry. We get clothes often as a gift, even when we suggest other things, but this is helpful! I plan on slimming down the clothes.

@katia.luna213 4 года назад

*BRAVA!* I think you and everyone else who does this evens out those with the Keeping Up With The Joneses type of mindset. *Personally? 2 weeks' worth of clothing. I don't have kids, but I'm at the stage in life where I'm wanting to learn a lot before I might have a child, and I am not okay with having a crap ton of stuff. As the oldest sibling by almost a decade to my brother and sisters, aaand having moved sooo many times, I legit don't see the point of having more than 2 weeks' worth of clothing for every person in the house. I'm tired of my stuff because I use shirts, shorts, and yoga pants as my loungewear, pajamas, workout wear, and the shirts usually can be used for an outfit if I'm out. 1 week's worth of undies, socks (black set, white set by accident), 1 bra which I'm sad about, 3 sports bras, and a bunch of dusty shoes lol, 1 pair worn all the time.* Update: 2 bras 😂😂

I love this system! We are still going through the last of our hand me downs, but once I start having to buy for my son I want to implement this system. Cost and space saving. I noticed I end up putting the same things on him anyways when there is too much choice.

@dortethorgaardpetersen6592 4 года назад

When my tree kids were small I did the opposite.....at least 7 outfits - at least rally, because I didnt want to wash the clothes before the washingmachine was full😉

@pryscylla_horn 4 года назад

Love how you have it organised, I’ll need to look into my boys chest of drawers, they share one and definitely have less joggers, jeans and long sleeves T-shirt’s. But I love that in England kids have uniforms for school, which makes it very simple. Also, after having 3 boys I’m now expecting a girl and I’m overwhelmed by the clothes you can get for a girl. I’m only used to simple T-shirt’s and trousers style and now I’m already lost thinking about the leggings, trousers, skirts, dresses tops etc 🙈

@mamabritteni5411 4 года назад

I love this idea! And your kids always look so cute and put together so being minimalists when it comes to clothing certainly doesn't hurt. I may try this with my own kids. 😊

We also have only 6-7 outfits for each of our 6 kids. I also only do black socks so no matching! I don’t fold clothes but just separate their clothes into their drawer. We have LOVED this simplified wardrobe.

@linzyemmons1854 4 года назад

We have been doing 14 outfits. For some reason I have been nervous to try just 7. But I think while collecting her fall winter clothes I will do 8 (a back up) and see how it goes! Thanks for the inspiration ❤

This is such a good idea and seems like it cuts down all the clutter and fuss. But my boys (11&9) are just as hard on their jeans now. They constantly get holes in the knees. But I think I may go through all 3 kids (especially my daughter) and give it a try!

@monicarowles778 4 года назад

Elle, I have been watching you for a long time :) over the past 5/6 years I have been learning a lot about the environment, our food, how clothing is made how companies work, minimalism etc etc. So over the weekend I really dived into ordering some of our supplies for the house from small and ethical companies. I learned some things from Shelbizleee on her youtube channel. I also watch Fairly Local Vegan and all sorts of others. I am looking into some other companies called Eden, Dr. Bronners and Zevia. I recently gave up my long time addiction of Soda (Coca Cola) as i finally caught up with me health wise. So one day I found this Zevia Organic Tea and well I dont care much for the odd replacement sweetners but it is helping me through my journey at the moment. For when I want a little caffeine and something "sweet" . So I looked up their company and seems to be ok. I am able to buy a case which should last a really long time for me. I mostly just drink water now. Have you heard of these companies and what ae your thoughts?

@marianaflorian7429 4 года назад

This video was great! Very informative - thank you for sharing! Just an idea for a future video is to go over the quantities you would recommend for someone preparing for their first baby since now you have so much experience of what is needed and not. I struggled A LOT to know how many of each pieces to buy and in which size when I was first buying things for my baby. I didn't register for clothes as I managed to buy everything in the summer sale. Like you, I want to keep the quantities at a minimum, but it is hard to know what these numbers are when doing it for the first time, especially for newborns considering the blowouts and that you don't know what size your baby will be born. I looked it up online, but people give very different recommendations.

@debbiemcclure2874 4 года назад

I wish but unfortunately that wouldn't work with my grandkids, lol. Great idea for small kids but Elle when they get bigger I don't think it will work. But one great thing about that is you can teach them to do their own laundry and what you're teaching them now also teaches them the value of clothes and when they become adults and clothing can be brought back to a minimal they will probably go back to minimalizing their wardrobes. Tyfs God bless you

@eb663 4 года назад

This is so fascinating! Where I live in Melbourne, Australia, I can't see this ever being possible, so it's amazing to see how you make it work! We get quite extreme temperatures (can get up to the high 40s in summer and as low as 0 in winter on a bad day [I know that's probably not very cold for you!]) and we often get four seasons in one day (Melbourne is known for it's unpredictability). So we need a lot of in-between pieces and items that can work for the extremes but probably wouldn't be much use on the average day! That said, I'm sure there are some people who have found a way to make it work...I'm just not one of them!

@jjgoldenpro 4 года назад

She lives in canada. If that's celcius we get alot colder than that. 35 in the summer at least and down to -30 in the winter, sometimes more extreme than that.

@eb663 4 года назад

I’m aware, that’s why I said it wouldn’t seem very cold for her. My point was more that our weather often fluctuates a lot even during the day, so we can’t necessarily wear shorts/jeans and a t-shirt and be ok - we need lots of in between pieces. I can see many of these clothes working for 35 degrees - not for 50. I wasn’t criticizing, just saying I found this interesting as a person who lives in a climate where this would never work. Maybe in my attempt to be succinct I sacrificed clarity. In Canada, the extremes are on the cold end of the spectrum, whereas in Australia, the extremes are on the hot end of the spectrum. When you’re dealing with cold weather, you can often wear what you already have, at least in part, and keep warm with layering. I assume that would make it easier to minimize the amount you own, because a long sleeve shirt can be worn whether it is 0 or -30; same with jumpers (sweaters) etc. In extremely hot weather, we can’t always wear what we would normally wear on an average summer day. I can tell you right now my standard outfit on a 30 degree day would be unbearable when it’s 48. We need to own additional items to account for this. Also, because our weather fluctuates throughout the day, we can’t just throw on a winter jumper in the morning and take it off when it warms up; we need light, in-between clothing that can work for constantly changes between hot, cold, warm and cool. The clothes she has for her kids wouldn’t work for a child year-round in Melbourne, or even most of Australia. That’s why I find it so fascinating.

@melodiephoenix 4 года назад

My twins are such wet their diapers so heavy I need two weeks worth to get through a week this inspires me because my brain hates clutter. My ASD kids need a lot of toys and it drives me bonkers but it brings them peace so I deal with it. I am minimizing all of my stuff and it feels great.

@ellensutton9660 4 года назад

@irispostema 4 года назад

I loved todays video, felt like a haul but then on the other side of consumerism. Tip: Some of the kids I babysat wore overalls when they played outside. It really helped them to keep their clothes good for longer. But you know, they still grow out of it. But then you could hand them down because the pants wouldnt have holes in them.

This is so intriguing to me! I've never even thought of doing it this way but now I'm really considering it! We don't have a dryer though, so I can't do all of the laundry in one day because I don't have enough space to hang it all in my house. :/ I'm sure I could work around that detail though! :)

I have 3 or 4 of each item and do a mid-week and a weekend wash. It makes it super easy to pack when going away because you just take everything and don't have to decide! Elle, I wanted to know if you and hubby have the same amount of clothes too? I have tried a capsule wardrobe but got bored pretty quickly. Also, we do the in and out rule for new clothing.

@Kath-Erina 4 года назад

I Love that!! Its so simple yet I haven't thought of that 😂 although I have to say my kids ruin their clothes more than once a day.. they sneak into the bathroom and make a big mess and get all wet, or get food ALL over them, or we have to be somewhere in the afternoon and my son stained his clothes in kindergarten already so he'll wear a new aloutfot in the afternoon. What I'm trying to say here, my weeks worth of clothing would probably be 10 -12 outfits 😅 (my kids are 3 and 1 by the way)

@naomigreen6957 4 года назад

mila maria same for mine. 😂

@sadieporter2176 4 года назад

I guess we do this but I never thought of it as a "weeks worth" and not really a minimalist . However, my girls are 3 and 2, and we keep 4 pairs of jeans, 4 non jean pants(leggings, etc), 4 sweaters, 4 longsleeve, 3 pair jammies 3 casual dresses, 2 church dresses. My girls are more independent because they're no wrong answers any top with any bottom, or a dress. Our 6m son has more but not tons. I like it this way and we just do a load a day and it keeps it available and under control.

@SweetPea112 4 года назад

I was very poor growing up and did not have many clothes....in fact, I was bullied because I had only one pair of pants that I could fit into and when I finally got a new pair people took note of it. That being said....PLEASE let your boys know that you choose to do this, that it is not a financial situation and that your family is ok financially. Also, because I had very little growing up, I tend to go overboard as an adult, and over purchase....just something to think about. You don't want your children to feel like they are missing out by not having clothing that they enjoy. I hope that makes sense.

Having 2 reflux/milk intolerant babies I was kinda worried for you on the baby clothes but I know that’s not everyone’s experience. I would have been doing baby laundry everyday with my little babies. Did you do this with your boys when they were babies? Even with your refluxer? How?!? We are thinking of adopting a third baby (I can’t pop out more 😭) so I’m curious?

I actually like this idea. I am currently looking at piles and piles of laundry and I am so over it. I do realize my kids do not wear all of their clothes. (I have 3 boys) 4,2, and 10 months so clothes in my house is a huge over load. The thing with mine, they get dirty quick or food on their shirts or poop blow outs with the younger two.

@tiffanymay880 4 года назад

As they get older around 11/12, do you plan on letting them have more than 6/7 shirts at a time? Just curious, since at that age kids at school can be not nice about joking and teasing kids for wearing the same thing over and over? I completely understand the pants, because I don’t own more than 5 pairs of jeans myself and I’m 24. I just wonder because I have younger siblings in elementary school. Not that other kids opinions matter, and I hope that didn’t come off as a rude question. I don’t mean for it to be at all, I’m just curious on the topic.

Hi I'm from Canada too I've been doing this for a while for my kids " not so much for myself but I find it difficult when people gift clothing because they tend to bring large amounts and they thinking my 7 day rule is ridiculous my kids grandma always sends them home with new cloths and it gets overwhelming because I don't want to be rude but I use cloth diapers as well so I try to keep laundry miniamal as Christmas comes closer I want to find a way to just say no clothing gifts without upsetting anyone but I think in just gunna have to accept that people will thing in a controll freak as I already have rules about toys and stuff

This was so informative. Thanks Elle! What do you use to spot clean baby clothes?

I noticed you didn’t go over how many bows Brighton has lol. I would love to cut down on clothes for my kids I have a 16 month old boy and about to have newborn baby girl here in a couple of months so I would love to know how to cut down on their clothes.

Hello there, I totally love your video. How would you do with kids school uniforms ? 7 each as well?

@siffordamber 4 года назад

I don’t think my parents ever thought this hard about my wardrobe.

Can you do a video on how you treat stains on your kidos clothes?

@panda5122 4 года назад

i could maybe do 10 days worth to give more options and to give more buffer between laundry days. It would be too much for me to do that much laundry on a weekly basis.

I grew up (and still live) very minimalist. I had 4 pants, 6 shirts, a sweater, a coat, and 2 pairs of shoes. School and pressure to fit in was very difficult for me. We didn't wear uniforms and everyone knew what I had and what I didn't. How do you plan to navigate your children through it as they get older? My child is almost 2, and I keep her closet small as well. Just looking for tips.

Not sure if it’s on purpose ... but I definitely love the “simplicity” to the shirts. Not a bunch of designs . I have a 6 year old boy and 7 year old girl, and it’s so hard to make the wardrobe smaller and keeping it simple.

@HairTwoHeels 4 года назад

Yes I try to do plain as much as possible so it can be mixed and matched easily

Elle Lindquist Ah okay!!! That definitely makes sense!!! Thank you!!!

What do you do about towels, washrags and dishtowels?

@JantineUrban 4 года назад

I thought to have less laundry when they would grow older but it didn't work. Firstly, the clothes got bigger, secondly, around 10 years old, there came the teen sweat smell 😜. Still shirts and sweaters are getting no more than one day of wear out of them. Jeans they can do longer with!

@heatherasquith-hull6785 4 года назад

Just wondering if you can do a clothes washing vlog and include stain treatment? As i am interested in reducing husband and my clothes but need to set up a clothes washing routine that works.

@HairTwoHeels 4 года назад

Totally!

@castrx 4 года назад

I think this is really neat but we I find we only need 2-3 pairs of pajamas. Do they wear a different pair every single night?

@AngelicaGarcia-ec1vt 4 года назад

Good morning, good morning! So cool that all three children have a weeks worth of clothing.

@avmeade 4 года назад

I just did 7 days worth of laundry for my 4 month old which included 15 pairs of pants and one pair of shorts. I don’t know how you do it!!

I also live in Canada and baby will be 3minths approx July. I have sooo many clothes from friends but would like to just have 5 dresses/bloomers for summer... maybe tights too. I’m hoping to CD so need roomy options. Do you just stick w one brand. One thing I noticed was so much variation in sizes from brand to brand I feel like I’d be on ten rotations through a seasob

How do you like the Copper Pearl bibs for Brighton? I have a 4 month old baby girl and so many of the bibs I have for her seem to “ride up” and bunch around her mouth and face, which I don’t like. Do you recommend the Copper Pearl bibs? They seem to have less fabric (from what I can tell)...I’m thinking about giving them a try!

@HairTwoHeels 4 года назад

Ive really been liking them!
