How was project 333 for you?
I wanted to try it but found it too rigid. Capsuling is hard with my lifestyle. Different strokes for different folks!
It was so difficult. Washing clothes wasn’t easy 🥲 but I ended up with loving some of my clothes and get rid of the others hehe ^^
And I learned to not spend my money on clothes that I’m not gonna wear so it’s helpful..
I’m still in the journey.
Have you heard of the 10 item wardrobe Jennifer L Scott did a Ted talk on it. She has extras to go along with her wardrobe. And it could be more or less than 10 items. Love the video
@@lowwastehighmelanin I know what you mean!
Love that you tried it!!@@lavender1143
"Clothes are meant to be worn. Not stored." Thanks for sharing!! That is great perspective 😊
❤️❤️
I work from home and rotate between 2 pairs of sweatpants and a few sweaters. Anyone else? hahah
Same, lol
Same here😂😂
Nailed it! 😂
100% WFH is the best invention. I only wear "nice" clothes if necessary on the weekends.
I work from home and also do a lot of yoga. I have all kinds of high quality yoga sets half the time I run my errands in. For work meetings I simply rotate between a few button shirts and sweaters over my yoga clothes 😂
Whenever I start going back to my shopping addiction phase, I come back to this channel to ground myself. Thanks ❤
Same! Whenever i start to feel the clutter accumulating around me & within me, this channel is a help every time.
I used to work five days per week. I used uniform rule to prepare clothes for work. Every week I wore the same 5 sets of clothes prepared for the season. I did laundries on Friday night so that I had Saturday and Sunday to let them dry. The feeling was so great from peace of mind I experienced every morning.
😍❤️
I do this too. I wear the exact same black shirt and black pants (5 pairs) Every single day. Been doing it for a year and not bored. When i'm not in my work clothes, i'm in my band tees, which are ALL black as well lol. Total peace of mind.
I remember hearing someone talking about project 333 and saying they needed more items. I have always been pretty minimal so went and counted my clothing items. I tend to have 10-14 items per season. I live in a place with 4 distinct seasons. I am also not counting underwear or outerwear. I said this to someone once and they had a hard time grasping it. I have to tell them I literally have 5 sweaters, it was winter at the time of this conversation that I rotate. They were surprised because they never noticed I had only 5 sweater that I rotated with a few pants. Once I had someone ask me where I get my clothes that am stylish. I was stunned and almost blotted out that I have been wearing the same black pants all week long and just been changing my top. One thing I do agree with you on is that the clothes get worn out but that made me start investing in better quality fabrics and washing or cleaning my clothes in the right manner so they don’t get damaged. I still have lots of clothes that last till the next season comes around and if a top doesn’t make it to the next year, well, it has done well given the many times I must have worn it.
How do you washing them?? Pleasee also interested in better quality buy
I’ve had the same experience. I don’t have many items, I’ve been complimented on my style & asked about where I get my clothes…and if I do point out that I wear the same pieces over and over, people are usually shocked. They don’t notice. My wardrobe isn’t perfect, it’s always evolving…there’s always pieces that need to be replaced because they get worn! I finally made peace with the fact my wardrobe will never be perfect and I will still make purchase errors. But it’s significantly better than it used to be. I make significantly fewer compromises on fit, accepting “okay” pieces, and overall feeling comfortable in my clothes. Also, I wear my “good” stuff pretty regularly (because I no longer buy or hold onto worn/ill-fitting pieces or clothes I don’t like. And I think it’s these last 2 points that people pick up on when they compliment my clothes. They fit, I like them and am therefore comfortable which shows up as confidence, and I wear my nice clothes all the time…I do not save them for “special” occasions that rarely/never come. One last semi-related point…I remove all clothes that don’t fit from my closet and drawers. If something is “too small”, just seeing it sends a psychologically negative message that you’re not good enough today. I do not want to start my day being insulted by my clothes.
Same here! I also wear black pants and vary with the tops. Practically that’s the same for every season. For summer I have a few dresses, for winter a few skirts in addition.
Watching this video just made me realize that I live on much less than 33 items per season. Probably about 10-15 items, just like you.
Warm regards from Germany👋🏻
Im very minimal too, I have about 30 clothes all together lol.
Thanks for making the video. It’s true we buy so much clothes and don’t even wear them all. Always the same ones. I need to go through my closet again and see what I don’t really wear and donate it. And not buy until I see I really need it.
It was nice actually wearing and enjoying all my clothes. Happy decluttering 🥰
Less really is more. I've not always have a lot of clothes so I did always wear everything in my closet. Presently my wardrobe is the smallest it's ever been and I'm very content. Wear the things you love, that you feel amazing in, that you can afford, that fit you.
Yes!! 🙌
For the first time in my life, I sorted out my clothes to only keep my summer outfits in my closet. It felt good to see a clear and light wardrobe and it spared me a lot of time when it came to choosing clothes. I didn't have much and had to wear the same outfits on repeat but I never got bored and actually, really enjoyed wearing my summer wardrobe ! Now I switched to fall clothes and realized some changes needed to be made to it so it will be more practical. I'm still figuring it out but I'm definitely on board with capsule wardrobes!
People can have all these fancy close and shop.. but what really reflects is our character that’s true beauty ❤
beautifully said
What you said may be true but this is a video about clothing. She can’t make this video about every topic under the sun. It’s about clothing.
@@AdrienneMintabsolutely agree🤨
I was so inspired by you that I went ahead with project 333 on a monthly basis. My spending on clothings definitely reduced significantly. Thank you 😘
Love that! ❤️
I love the idea of starting with a number of pieces and adjusting every month for more functionality and style. I also love your remark about the fact that no one noticed!
I have been using capsule wardrobe's for years now but I am not too strict with the 33 pieces. My wardrobes often end up being between 30 and 40 pieces and that works well for me. To me it doesn't feel like too small at all and I love planning for it 😊
I truly love how u appreciate your life in every way possible and living life on your terms, being genuinely happy. I’m currently working on having peace in my life right now. I’m just realizing having luxurious things and “too many things” doesn’t sit right with my soul. TY for sharing your journey with us. Stay beautiful! ✨💫
❤️❤️❤️
@@MalamaLife love you 💋💋💋
I haven’t done the 333 Project although I have read the book and like it. The thing that helped me tune into what I love and what lives me back is that I’d did the Marie Kondo cleanup. It’s kept me from just buying things for retail therapy. I am also committing to sewing more/using my stash. I have long been someone who thrifts or goes to consignment stores as I find that’s a great way to actually see what lasts beyond the first week or two. A lot of brands including the expensive ones can look pretty sad as second hand wares.
You look so pretty in that brown sweater! It's a good color for you!
I have just gone through my wardrobe and decluttered it to 33 pieces in total.
4 jumpers
1 long cardigan
4 t shirts
2 coats
2 camisole
1 good jacket
1 lace top
1 dress
4 leggings
3 shorts
4 long sleeve t shirts
1 tracksuit
1 winter shirt
3 jeans
1 trousers.
I have two sets of pjs for summer 2 sets pjs for winter and a dressing gown for each.
I have one set of old clothes for gardening or cleaning house. 10 bras and 10 underwear and five pears of socks
2 pairs of boots, two pairs of slippers, one pair sandals and one pair of good shoes. One tote bags and my purse.
I’m decluttering to move from a three bedroom house to a motor home
Watching your video makes me feel grounded. I always care about what other people think of me. This video inspires me to prioritize myself and live authentically. Thank you, Sophie ❤
Hi Malama, I’m new to this group. At first I was inspired to watch you because my hubby and I love visiting Hawaii and one of our sons is presently stationed there in the Army. Minimizing has been a two year process for me, once we moved from a bigger home (in Utah) and vacation home (in CA) to a smaller bungalow style home here in TX. It was HARD at first… HARD…. lol…. And now I’m at a point that it feels so good (peace/simplicity) to get rid of things that I don’t need anymore. This process for me, has been in layers. Presently… I really need to focus more on my wardrobe! What you stated in this video about clothing that really doesn’t describe us, hit home for me. I have too many different types of clothing that doesn’t reveal who I really am. ❤Thx for the tips!
Oh! I forgot, I wanted to make two little comments. As far as washing clothes… I find it’s a good habit to start one load (even if it’s a small load) every day… to keep things flowing. AND I had learned from another minimalist teacher; that washing your clothes on delicate (or short wash), in cold or warm water, and hang to dry, keeps them from fraying and getting worn. Truly this has helped my favorite pieces from getting worn! If you do a load daily.. it’s only a few pieces to hang and it’s super simple. I wash sheets and under garments (undies/socks) in hot water of course (once a week).
It's definitely a process. I've never done 333 but I recently started a pick 7 outfits for the week, wear them over and over and swap out different pieces if I find they don't look that great on me/fabric doesn't feel right to me/doesn't fit experiment. It's whittling down the fantasy self options for sure.
I wear everything in my wardrobe until it doesn’t fit or I’ve worn it like 1000 times . I like to do a wardrobe clear out at least once a year and only buy the clothes I need
I think what is lovely about your videos, is you try challenges and the beauty of it is that if it doesn't work for you, you can always take away that you know what does work for you ❤
I started with 33 items, and then I went down to ten pieces of clothes. I honestly love it. ❤️ I wash every day though.
Thank you for the video! One thing you mentioned that many people dont is the wear and tear on your clothes when you are wearing the same things over and over again. 333 is a good concept if your clothes can take a beating or if youre not washing them after every wear, which does not suit my lifestyle. I think a more comfortable number for me is higher than 33 items.
This is inspiring. I also declutter every year. This year I gave almost 100 clothes to the thrift shop. I have lots maybe because I go to church 😅333 is hard for me but the amount of clothes I have now made me feel lighter and less stress.all of my clothes makes me happy If it doesnt give me joy anymore that is the time I give them away.
Sophie - mahalo for your beautiful content. My mom and her family are from the islands and i havent been able to go back for years now due to battling autoimmune diseases. Much stronger now through using drastic lifestyle changes and hope to see my family in Oahu very soon. Im utilizing your minimlist content to help declutter and it's been wonderful. Hope you stayed safe thru all the terrible fires in Maui. Aloha ❤
I'm wishing you all the healing you need so you can come back
Every time I watch one of your videos it feels like I’m talking to an old friend 🥰 it’s so good to see you and learn from absolutely everything you say 🧡✨
I love having a capsule wardrobe. It makes things easier and I love all my clothes and how I feel in them , so much more ❤
I am so happy to find your channel! I am back in school and i was relieving my stress by doing online shopping! Thanks you❤
I can’t stand throwing away my favourite clothes. I prefer a longer lasting wardrobe. I like having a big wardrobe that lasts years where I rarely replace any of the pieces or feel the need to add more
This is the answer that I’m looking for. Thank you for sharing. My goal now is to decluttering. Simplicity is beauty!
Can you please make an update video on your closet please 🙏😍 I love them so much cause they are so inspiring!
And maybe a ‘My styling journey‘ video as well😊? It would be interesting to see where you came from (clothing wise) and where you are at now after all those years!
Beautiful! You're such an inspiration!!❤
Love this video❤️I think we can learn some very interesting things about ourselves when we limit our possessions! Can’t wait to try this out!😃😍😘
Thank you, Sophie. Lately I’ve been watching a lot of your videos and they have given me so much inspiration to change my life. Also, your voice is so calming, I like to listen to you at the end of the day, when I’m overwhelmed or exhausted by the routine.
At the beginning of this month I had a sad experience of losing money. For some people it may be a ridiculous sum, but for me it was worth 2 months of my ‘pocket money’, i.e. the money I take from our family’s budget to spend on myself. This has got me thinking - can I live for 1-2 months without buying clothes? I even thought that I had been reckless with my money and had a sudden impulse to return some items I had bought ‘on sale’ and even sell smth I bought before and was in doubt. Anyways, I’m kind of trying to make the most wisdom out of this situation 😆
I tried it a few years ago and failed miserably. Which left me not feeling good about myself. However I am in a completely different place in my life and find the idea somewhat appealing. I think I will try again. Thank you for another wonderful video. You are so lovely!❤
Your videos and overall message have been a real inspiration to us. Thanks for inspiring us to create our own channel. Keep up the amazing work - we're massive fans! x
❤️ thank you so much for supporting
That brown shirt looks amazing with your coloring. I love the concept of 333 but haven't ever fully committed. I should have tried it when I lived in Hawaii too - basically one season!
Thank you. I love your capsule more each time.
I did this once one summer and it was great! I think I will do it again now for the winter. To give myself a bit more options though, I didn’t include jewellery, footwear purses, etc. I don’t have a lot of variety in those things anyway. The point was to deliberately limit your wardrobe and make conscious decisions. Make your own rules for sure! I loved my capsule wardrobe!
Your videos makes me feel good .❤❤
Keep it up ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this, Sophie ♥️
I’m currently in the beginning of my first 333 project, feel excited, hope to change my relationship with the clothes.
Excited for you!!
@@MalamaLife malama 💋🤎
What a fun challenge :) Thanks for sharing your wonderful perspective :) I'm yet to try the project 333 challenge but now I'm even more determined! :)
Super love this episode of yours. Thank you for sharing! You are an inspiration for a positive change to us. 👍
Thank you for watching this episode 😁
I have been through this situation. Although I never did the challenge before, I have heard of it over the years. I once had only 10 pieces of clothing (not counting underwear). It wore them down a lot over time and I had to sew and fix things up a lot. I sweat a lot, as you do. I am sorry the fluctuation you have is growing. I think it is good that you realized what works for you and that you need more than 33 pieces in order to feel comfortable. I think it is important to use what you have and you were doing that and it taught you a great lesson, I feel. Your trip sounds amazing. I'm glad that you were able to prioritize yourself and your life more.
I am going through the roughest period of my minimalist life in 17 years, as I am in between sizes. . between postpartum and the clothes I want to wear. I don't like most of my clothing right now and can't wait to get through this phase into what feels more normal for me. I may have to start fresh. I went through this twice before, but bounced back faster and feel I was more okay with living out of a small box of clothing back then than I am now.
I feel for you. It’s hard when nothing we wear feels good. Is your clothing worth taking to a tailor for alterations? Also, I think of minimalism as a mindset, not a hard and fast limit. Taking care of yourself by getting some pieces that feel and look good is not violating your intentions (in my mind)
Oh no, I can't have a tailor fix it because I am bigger than before. Usually I wear an XS/Small and am in Med/Large right now from postpartum. I will get back though. Basically I HAD to buy more clothes so I had something to wear at all! I thrifted though. I will get back to my normal size, so I am going to keep my old clothes (I've gone through this twice before). I always only have enough clothes to fit one drawer.@@catherinegreen8440
Thank you so much Sophie for this inspiring video!❤ I have moved right now to France with just one luggage and backpack, I will use definitely this method!
Oh good luck to you ❤️🥰 wishing you the best
I just leave what fits me for now, store next size up or down of my faves only. I use my closet as my container, if it fits comfortable in there and my dresser drawers, I’m good.
You are such an inspration thank you❤
Just stumbled over your video. As I am living at an apartment with maximalists at the moment, and will be subletting a new apartment of a minimalist for the next coming three months this is a great challenge that I want to try out. Thank you for sharing your input on this project
❤️
Thank you for sharing this experience! ❤
Loved this video! Currently trying to declutter, stop buying fast fashion pieces and investing in items I'll wear for a long while. I purchased the Jenni Kayne leopard dress and love it. It's so flattering. I wear it all the time! Where is the olive dress from?
Loved this, Sophie! I hope you’re well ❤
Thank you! Doing well. Having fun with family 😁
Enjoy your precious time with your loved ones! 🥰
Thanx Sophie, I’ll read the Project 333 book.
This sounds like a great idea. It also feels like a mindfulness activity. Thank you for sharing! Also, I was in the beautiful island of Oahu for 2 weeks. I went to Kailua Beach which is one of my favorites. Mahalo!
I sophie I couldn't see last couple of videos of you cause of my work but yeah recently even I did similar thing I cleaned all my wardrobe clutter and coincidentally I kept the clothing which I used the most for the past 3months. Now I am really happy because my wardrobe has pieces that I usually like.
I’ve been having trouble with this as well. I’ve been playing around with fewer clothing items (putting some away, only keeping current seasonal items in my closet). But it’s really difficult! I also fluctuate in weight and need to have a couple of sizes every few weeks to months. Great video, Ty!
Watching this video and I just have to say - you’re so pretty! 🥰
Oh thank you!
Love you and your videos!!!
Saw you wearing hanbok the other day on Instagram. You were looking so pretty 😍😍
Enjoy your travels Sophie 😎❤️☺️
Thank you! It's been so fun ☺️
I love this!!!! Thank you for sharing ✨🤍
Thanks for watching ❤️
Some nice footage you got there ❤
Thanks for sharing this experiment with us !
Love from France.
Thank you, Sophie! 🙏🤗
❤️😍 thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing your take on this experiment 😊 Sophie I changed it to 50 clothes for 3 months, because that’s appropriate for me 😅 I resonate with your feelings of lesser time to pack, no one observes what u wear: it only matters to us 😂 and lesser headspace with clothes. I am gonna stick with this I think 🤔 thanks Sophie 🎉
Love that you modified it to fit your needs! So cool you did the challenge with me too
Our inspiration ❤❤❤❤
You’re so inspiring. I’m sure I’m gonna end up doing the same, a capsule wardrobe of 40 items maybe? I want to try ☺️
Yes!! Try it 😍❤️
Hey! Sophie your room looks so so so beautiful and clean and I was truly truly waiting for this video you are my inspiration and I wish you have a fabulous week ahead💫🤗💖
Thanks for watching ❤️
Love this, Sophie! I was wondering, what you did with your other pieces of clothing and accessories during your three month experiment? Did you box them up and place them in storage (whatever that means to you) so that you could reevaluate in the end and adjust as needed)? Did you donate them already? Can’t wait to hear! Also can’t wait to watch about your travels in Asia! Have fun ☺️🫶🏼
Maybe you could switch every Month... and have 3-4 extra there for summer and not count the extensive Things for Winter?
To keep up on laundry I’ve been washing a small load (whatever I wore to work that day) everyday and then hang them to dry and then when I go to get dressed I just wear the outfit from the day before and without realizing it I’ve been only wearing the same 2 outfits everyday. Nobody to my knowledge has noticed and I don’t care, I don’t think I’d notice or care if I saw a co worker repeating outfits.
Thank you, good and insightful video. I want to try it😊
Really i feel peace when see you😊❤
Thank you ❤️
My 2 year old took a look at my phone while I was watching and casually said (in german) how beautifully she speaks ❤️
Hi soafi! After 2 weeks!! Was waiting for your video
Thanks for waiting! I'm currently traveling 😍
I do this every 3 weeks instead of months. I have approximately 85-88 pieces. I pick 33 and used only those for 3 weeks and then i rotate. Some pieces come backs but i try to rotate out so I am using all of the pieces
It depends where you work. During pandemy and staying home I needed 5 to 10 pieces. At my work I should have more
Btw U look so elegant and beautiful in this brown top❤ lots of love.
Would be a punishment for me always looking to have enough for next day and washing so many times. I thought to it earlier and you confirmed it for me, thanks to you 😊
You should look into the 10 item wardrobe by the daily connoisseur
Love your content😊
Thank you!! ❤️
mind blownnnn...
Perfect to listen on 2x
❤ I love your content. Thank you.
Malamalamalamalama life!
I love your videos! I’ve been watching for the past year. I would love to know where I can find a dress similar to your gray slip dress.!
Really appreciate your thoughts and thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching ❤️
So interesting! I would love to do this project but I don’t know if it’s possible when you live in a colder climate with fluctuating weather. I love your videos!
영어 공부하면서 이 채널을 구독했습니다!
너무 재밌습니다! 감사해요😊
I’ve looked everywhere for a long sleeve brown top like the one you’re wearing in this video! Can I ask where it’s from? It’s such a nice staple!
This was so soothing and inspiring as usual Sophie, I'm definitely going to use some of these tips going forward. I was wondering where your bedding from your last video is from? it looked like the most wonderful fluffy cloud. Thank you so much and have a wonderful week. Also happy early birthday btw, you are amazing and deserve all the success coming your way.
❤️❤️ thank you! I'm not sure of the brand, but I got it from Macy's
@@MalamaLife thank you so much I really appreciate you answering my question.
Do your 33 items include multiples of the same item (eg. white shirts) or undergarments and socks? I just counted my entire wardrobe excluding those and I'm still under 33 items 😅
great but i wanted to share my story similar to yours ..i can relate the whole video to that because i have been wearing just 4pyjamas and 4 to 5 tops ,,2 jeans and 4 to 5 ethnic suits and dats it ..minimalism leads to great life i feel ,,u can save and value ur hard earned money and many more benefits
I got more than 33 but used lesser than that most of the time. Ironic. But good job, Sophie!
I luv that - clothes are meant to be worn not stored🎉
I love having less in my wardrobe. Its always so much easier to find something to wear. I love your cream linen shorts, may I ask what brand are they? 🙂
I loved the message! Can I ask you what brand the blue maxi dress is from?
Really inspired
@malamalife This is great. Now you should try the 10 x10 capsule wardrobe for 20 days.. im doing it now and it challenging and exciting at the same time.
33 pieces seems like a lot to me who wear only 10-13 items per season indeed. I wear clothes until they are completely worn out and no one notices. I actually wore my last sports shoes for 6 years until there were 6 visible holes on them and then called it quits haha.
really nice insights! and beautiful edit
