Yes! While my body is mostly back to the same size and shape, my skin elasticity is different. I'm also more focused on clothing that is good for bending down to drop things my son drops such as skorts, rompers, and longerish shorts. Recently, we went on vacation and I found bringing a black capsule wardrobe with a few prints and one off outfits (blue romper, red dress, etc) felt so freeing. When we returned I decluttered so many household items and clothing items we lived perfectly fine without while on vacation. It's been so freeing!
I’m only mid way through this video, but I have to say how cute your dresses are, and how confident and comfortable you look wearing them! I especially love that yellow floral dress!
I had a wonderful small wardrobe. Then I went through menopause and was suddenly uncomfortable in everything and ended up with too much stuff, just trying to find what fit and what I liked with my new body. This has inspired me to pare back down to just what I love and feel good in.
@veggirl1964 oh my goodness the exact same thing happened to me! I was a confident person who knew what I liked to wear. Now nothing feels right. Nothing feels like me anymore. I’m slowly finding my way back, but have gone from about 160 items to 15. Hopefully we’ll find our way back! I find I’m a lot more relaxed now. Over my hair and make up. Decided to embrace the grey and natural makeup. I’m happier and my confidence is coming back.😊
I LOVE Madisun Gray and when I subscribed to your channel, it gave me those vibes and here you are, mentioning her. I absolutely love your content, especially the way you speak about women’s bodies and how they change through life and how we should nourish ourselves well. I’m so sick of the way society expects us to look. ❤
@@jessicarothleyDo you perhaps have an email address you don’t mind sharing? I’d like to ask you something about a Christian perspective and do not want to have others start a debate here. 😂
In Russia just a few people having closets, majority have clothing hang armor, and when I came in US it was so nice to have a walk in space but then it became cluttered and overwhelming..
Ongoing wardrobe items purge/ rehoming for my husband & me, Now especially both born, raised, lived our whole lives in Midwestern states & near future moving to a Southwestern state...EEK!😳😎😊❤️❤️🌞 So many cold-weather clothes/boots/accessories will go to new homes! 😊
I would love to see what your cold weather wardrobe looks like! I live in NC where our summer/fall seasons are very hot, in the 90s. But then winter/spring it gets into the 20s and 30s, literally freezing🥶
I have never felt better than when I cleared out most of my clothes. I also have two small wardrobes for the two extreme seasons! It’s so practical and makes the start of my days easy!
Thank you for sharing! I recently purged a HUGE amount of clothes. What a relief already!! However, I had a moment of “oh no, I don’t really have any shirts for summer” and went and purchased a few inexpensive ones from Amazon…got them home….then realized “oh no….I HATE THESE!!…why did I buy these?!”…..Still learning, I guess.😅
I love the concept behind this! When I went for a rehab for my burnout I could not take a lot of clothes and I felt so comfortable with the smaller choice I had. Also, it was so satisfying to love every item and get a lot of use out of it. I will definitely be looking into this and downsize my current wardrobe. And I love your items! I love the cut of them, as you said the flowyness but also the color story. Great video and great energy!
thank you thank you thank you for addressing the postpartum feelings and 'seasons of life' and for being so honest about the time that it took to create this wardrobe for yourself. Im 6m postpartum now and struggling... your video really helps me, thank you so much!
Very cute wardrobe and I love your approach to everything. We need to get you a little clip mic or something for videos like this so we can hear you better! But I am super happy to see that you have a choice set of jewelry. I do that too, and I've gotten teased about it. But it's so nice to not worry?! Anyway, not a mom, but ended up subscribing because your vibe is very welcoming, airy, and open. And I've already learned a lot from you. 😊
I'm still in the process of decluttering my home, but I've already seen the benefits. I also naturally feel myself going back to the places/spaces I've already done to further declutter. And sometimes it just takes time to realize/come to terms with the fact that you just don't need/use/want that item in your life. I'm just discovering your page, but really love your videos/content! You're a calming presence and I appreciate your content for inspiring me to further make positive changes towards slower living :)
I’m in the process of doing this and it’s hard to make decisions but I’m looking forward to the simplicity when get there. I am a bit of a shopaholic, always looking to make myself feel better about myself but recently realized it comes from within . No matter how many clothes I have this won’t change until it comes from within.
Not the wedding ring going missing 😂😭 hope you found that quick. Love this video. I definitely think it will take me a year to down size. I work a full time corporate job so having go to outfits for that vs being at home would be huge for me.
Thank you for being you. There is so much truth and honesty in your videos that I feel like I'm having a close chat with a best friend when watching. 🎉 It's hard for me because I struggle severely with overwhelm daily about my clothes, but in the UK our weather is hundreds of different temperatures and all over the place, so I struggle to have a capsule wardrobe when I have to have something for any condition. P.s. it needs to be said that whatever you are doing with your hair... ✨️Just Wow✨️ If you find time to do a video about what products and beauty routines you do use, I'd love that! 💖
I love the 10 item wardrobe. Haven’t tried it yet myself, but was first inspired by Madisun Gray. Would love to see your 10 item winter wardrobe as I live in a very cold climate and need inspo! 🌿
Yes same here I would like to see your other capsules, and thank you for the co-sleeping video. 😊 yours is the first I’ve seen but Abba laid it on my heart a year ago so God willing that will be what we’ll do when we have our first.
I completely understand about getting decision fatigue. Even with more clothes in my closet I still go to the same t shirts and leggings. I have a very casual lifestyle so I don’t have the need for a lot. I do want to keep some special occasion pieces as I don’t want to be forced last minute to go and shop. I used to think that laundry would be an issue if I had less clothing. The problem is the more clothing I have the harder laundry becomes. As I’m older and have health issues I find doing laundry overwhelming. I have been decluttering slowly but also find letting go of more expensive pieces difficult. It’s a guilt thing I guess. I live in Canada so you do have four seasons and need wardrobes for the each one. I just change out my closet accordingly for the season. I still need to declutter but need inspiration. Thank you for your viewpoint as it’s very much needed.🥰 I love your dresses, etc. Just curious on their brands. I love the nice flowy dresses but am shopping online and can’t find what I’m looking for. I am starting to love the boho chic (60’s flower child) clothes that are so light and airy.
I relate to this so much! Also from Canada, and likewise needing several seasons’ worth of clothing! Paring it down gradually (moving house helped - even though I didn’t want it to!)… I also connect with what you’re saying about laundry; I always thought it would be a stressful disaster, having less clothes through the week… but it actually just makes it clearer when you need to do laundry, and quicker at the same time! Laundry used to be my most hated chore; now I look forward to it - though part of that is because my washer/dryer are on the same floor as my bedroom these days! That makes such a world of difference, too! But if it’s on another level of your house or building, having smaller loads definitely alleviates so much of the dread when you know it’s coming up soon!
I have been loving your videos and so glad they came up recommended. My closet make over journey begins and I need all the Inspo. All those things look amazing! 😻
I think your dresses look lovely on you! They seem authentic to you. Thanks for sharing your ideas. Are you tempted to shop more or do you feel satisfied with what you have?
I definitely still see things I really like! I’ll take a picture or save it and it helps with the urge I have. But I’m also not opposed to getting new things I love, I just think to myself ‘what would this replace’. And that helps me keep everything minimal and only buy things sparingly
I feel that after dong a capsule wardrobe for fall/winter & another for spring/summer. I have a separate capsule of just sweats and tees and then a door hook with 10 cardigans, sweatshirts, zip ups. So my wardrobe ended up being about 40 pieces and it’s perfect for me! Given that I just had a baby right after I made the switch and I have lived in my sweatshirt & tee shirt capsule wardrobe the whole baby bump process lol. I got tired of them but reminded myself I could go shopping in my whole wardrobe after postpartum dust settles!
I recently found your channel. We don't have children, but I love dresses that are flowy and comfortable. Especially Maxi dresses. I love the long white (flowered) dress in your wardrobe. Where do you find most of your dresses? Also, I appreciated the video on things you no longer buy. Nice Work! Tamara
I loved this!!! I'd also really like to see an autumn/winter minimal wardrobe! It's winter here in South Africa and I'm living in sweats 😅 I don't feel pretty or feminine at all but I really don't know how to go about staying warm while looking and feeling pretty. ❤
I live in Canada with 4 seasons so need many coats etc and clothing variety. However I feel like I have too many clothes and none feel right. So 10 items also wont work for me. Help lol
Love the your capsule, so cute! Question how do you only have one pair of pajamas? How does that work? Because I have sooo many pjs and have a hard time downsizing it so interested in what your thoughts are
What do you wear around the house? I’m a Sahm to a toddler and I don’t really go anywhere. If I’m doing activities with my kid I’m usually in activewear but what about around the house??
Hi I love your channel, could you let me know what camera you use and how you edited the video? Did you edit between shots or was it a one time long video? Thank you so much
Hey Jessica , very good video . I can do better editing in your videos which can help you to get more engagement in your videos . Pls lmk what do you think ?
This would be hugely cancelled by time spent sorting, folding, putting away and trying to find clothes though and not buying clothes often would mean more than enough to offset the cost of extra washing
I had the same question. As I just have to wash for myself and don't have kids, it takes more days to fill the washing machine, and i want to wash as environment friendly as possible. I am sure i can still declutter many pieces of clothing in my wardrobe, but i still need to have much much more than 10 items. Would love to hear if someone is in the same situation and have found their way to minimise. Also, i appreciate your videos, inspiring and fun! ..i love the dog moments there 😂
Did anyone experience this deep need to reset their closet/purge in motherhood?
Yess. Deep need. Reset. Yes, this resonates so much. I'm crying. Haha :')
Yes!!!
Yes. I am 3 weeks postpartum with baby #3. I've been looking at my closet with stress lately but you've inspired me to make a change.
Currently 45 days in to my closet purge and it has been the best decision!!!
Yes! While my body is mostly back to the same size and shape, my skin elasticity is different. I'm also more focused on clothing that is good for bending down to drop things my son drops such as skorts, rompers, and longerish shorts. Recently, we went on vacation and I found bringing a black capsule wardrobe with a few prints and one off outfits (blue romper, red dress, etc) felt so freeing. When we returned I decluttered so many household items and clothing items we lived perfectly fine without while on vacation. It's been so freeing!
I’ve got 14 dresses, 8 outerwear’s, and 5 shoes! Never felt better! ❤
I’m only mid way through this video, but I have to say how cute your dresses are, and how confident and comfortable you look wearing them! I especially love that yellow floral dress!
Oh thank you!!
Im packing for a trip and in a sea of clothes I feel like I have nothing to wear. I think it’s time to reassess, thanks for the motivation!!
I had a wonderful small wardrobe. Then I went through menopause and was suddenly uncomfortable in everything and ended up with too much stuff, just trying to find what fit and what I liked with my new body. This has inspired me to pare back down to just what I love and feel good in.

Yes I appreciate her channel! And agree! Our bodies grow and change and give life, it’s a shame if our clothes make us feel discouraged about it

I totally wear my lululemon around my waist too 😆
❤ I just came across your channel and definitely subscribed! I really hope we can get a fall/ winter wardrobe tour!
How often do you do laundry so you don’t run out of something to wear but also have a big enough load to run?
I love the 10 item wardrobe. Haven’t tried it yet myself, but was first inspired by Madisun Gray. Would love to see your 10 item winter wardrobe as I live in a very cold climate and need inspo! 🌿

I think we’re the same color palette!!! 🥰 love to see these colors.
Yess!! I love this video. Less is more. Easier lifestyle 😊
Wooohoo yes Jess!
I want to find dresses like this!
"I 1000% wear this puppy on my waist like my grandma." 😂

Ten is way too few for me. I need tshirts and cardigans and jeans

Could you go through each item individually? I love seeing for inspiration!
I totally will do that for my fall wardrobe video, and link them:)
Love this!! I’d love a video on toys!
good to know! gonna do one on kids toys/clothes!
Need this in my life!! Going to be doing this soon
U are an amazing young lady🥰

I live in Canada with 4 seasons so need many coats etc and clothing variety. However I feel like I have too many clothes and none feel right. So 10 items also wont work for me. Help lol

Oii sou nova aqui. Faz um vídeo mostrando a cozinha ❤
Absolutely love this.
The look on your dog's face....😂😂😂
Thank you.
I love your style! I’m working on creating my capsule wardrobe, and I keep getting stuck in the rut of tshirts and jeans.
I get that! But also if they’re items you love then that’s awesome!
I love this!
Awesome wardrobe, so you kind sharing where did you get the plain yellow dress? Thank you!
I love, love, LOVE that cute red jumper!! Would you mind sharing where you purchased it from? 😊
I got it at a thrift store about 7 years ago!
@@jessicarothleyDang it lol... Thank you so much for replying. Recently subscribed and love your videos; very inspirational content 😊
Im pregnant now! Not sure what i should do?! Im like 7 weeks!
I wanted to see the decluttering 😢
I would love to do this but where to start!!! I have so much that l like!! Smh
Yes, if they fit and love maybe store some away instead buying new pieces in a year or so
What do you wear around the house? I’m a Sahm to a toddler and I don’t really go anywhere. If I’m doing activities with my kid I’m usually in activewear but what about around the house??
My active wear or my romper and short dresses bc they’re easy to nurse in and comfy!
Hi I love your channel, could you let me know what camera you use and how you edited the video? Did you edit between shots or was it a one time long video? Thank you so much
I use the Sony v1 I think it’s called! Very beginner user friendly. I film one long shot then edit in Final Cut Pro:)
Your clothes are so cute! If you dont mind me asking though, what kind of dog is that in the beginning of the video?! They look sooo precious
thats my pup kevin, he's a random golden doodle husky mix haha
Does one pair of pyjama work ?? I mean I would at least have 5 enough for a week. As mums sometimes our clothes get dirty specially with kids
In early postpartum when I was leaking more I definitely had like 3 pj shirts! But that's not my season anymore:)
Hey Jessica , very good video . I can do better editing in your videos which can help you to get more engagement in your videos . Pls lmk what do you think ?
I need a video about yout teeth, it seems so white to me. Not a joke, I would love to have mine like that.
If your near Gville Fl lets be besties💞💞
I live on the west coast but hubby is pulling to move to florida so well see hahaha
I want to be friends.
Do u have to do laundry more often w less clothes
maybe a little, but personally i found it to be about the same rhythm, especially with a toddler where i was doing a load every 2-3 days anyway!
This would be hugely cancelled by time spent sorting, folding, putting away and trying to find clothes though and not buying clothes often would mean more than enough to offset the cost of extra washing
I had the same question. As I just have to wash for myself and don't have kids, it takes more days to fill the washing machine, and i want to wash as environment friendly as possible.
