While it was great to get such a large dose it left me with the impression that you had more clothes sitting around than you probably do. I've loved the last 2 videos because they have encouraged me to be content with what I have.<br /><br />RebekahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-83614338977490402702016-09-16T12:59:05.744-07:002016-09-16T12:59:05.744-07:00I have that Sherlock Holmes game!

These past few months have been very busy for me and somehow I have managed to accumulate so much "stuff." After seeing your closet I am going to start going through mine today! This video had a similar effect to watching an episode of hoarders and frantically going to clean out the entire home. Except your video was so inspirational! I loved seeing how you store and organize your wardrobe as well. It got my creative juices flowing for how I plan on reorganizing mine.Jenniferhttp://lafemmedaily.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-64031369164340063112016-09-14T21:56:45.158-07:002016-09-14T21:56:45.158-07:00Hello ladies, I am excited to read that many of yo...Hello ladies, I am excited to read that many of you are going through your closets this weekend.

Thank you for allowing all of us the opportunity. <br /><br />I first saw your Ted talk a little more than a year ago. My husband and had I moved from our large one bedroom apartment to a lovely three bedroom home, and (because I was pregnant and my massive collection of more than 50 dresses was in boxes) I did not fully recognize that we had scaled back to less than half the closet space until after I had our daughter and I tried unpacking all my normal clothing. Not even half of it fit into the provided space! I became somewhat irrational and begged my husband to build me an additional closet. (Which he looked into because he is congenial even in the face of rediculousness.) During this crisis my sister sent me your video and challenged me to try it. Honestly it's exciting to curate a small high quality wardrobe! Additionally it's been a tremendous blessing to have a thoughtfully put together closet to select clothing from as I learn to be a mother and grow in my effort to live consistently. <br /><br />Despite the fact that our closet is smaller than any I'd called mine before and the fact that I have to share it, I find it a refreshing piece of peace in our busy home. Far from stuffed to the brim, there is space for each item to breathe. (I have been known to leave the door open so that I am able to delight in looking at it.) My clothes are on the left, his on the right, and within each category they are hung by color in rainbow order on matching hangers. Our out of season clothing is in boxes on the shelf above and our dirty laundry baskets are lined up on the floor. <br /><br />We are expecting again; due early December, so much of my ten item wardrobe from last fall does not fit. I have been shopping with purpose over the last two weeks or so and I'm almost there. I'd like to find a skirt and another long sleeved T shirt or two. <br /><br />Thank you again for inspiring us to live as daily connoisseurs! Your message has been encouraging to me. <br /><br />~Kathleen Hemingway madeofmydreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16453884893882325007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-2541690937383868672016-09-14T08:27:49.958-07:002016-09-14T08:27:49.958-07:00Dear Jennifer,

I'm happy to hear you're looking for jeans! While I completely understood your choice to not wear them for a few years in order to emphasize looking presentable, I do believe that the right pair can look very chic. I've purchased a few from Talbots and have been pleased with their ability to keep their dark wash and shape.<br /><br />:)AshleyAshley Diazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05105123830510139578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-9293796336955807702016-09-12T19:41:12.914-07:002016-09-12T19:41:12.914-07:00Hi Jennifer:

I am wondering if you implement some version of the 10 item wardrobe with your children.

I have been doing Project333 for 2 years now and I can't imagine going back to the old way of a closet full of clothes. I think most people really don't understand how freeing it is to have fewer choices instead of more.

Your storage solutions have inspired me. I'm going to get me husband to participate in packing up spring/summer clothes in fabric storage cubes from The Container Store, one color for me and one for my husband. Our awkward closet has deep wings that are impossible to use except for storage. I think we can pack the cubes into the recesses of the closet when out-of-season. Looking forward to spacious drawers in our tall dressers. We each have our own to hold just one season at a time. How cool is that? You are so clever! I've been stressed for a long time with storage issues and this will help a lot. You convinced me, and I think my husband will be on-board to editing as we pack and unpack each new season. This method will free up lots of closet space and our beautiful upholstered easy chair. Thank you.

Lots of things that I think are flattering in the mirror are so not flattering in photos or videos, which I think tell the truth more than a mirror for some reason.

A European woman at my mom's church mentioned to her that she noticed that Americans tend to hold onto things and have so much clutter, and how Europeans have only a few nice clothes that they wear and wear. I can absolutely see the benefit of having fewer high quality items that I love and wear regularly. I'm still slowly reassessing my clothes and getting rid of a lot of things after I wear them. I loved some jeans that I wore a lot, but then saw a video of myself in them and how they were not flattering (!), so they're in the donation pile now. It's exhilarating to make positive changes! My Mom recently lost a lot of weight and is clearing out her closet and wearing things she hasn't been able to in years and having fun with that, but also is having a hard time letting go of things she can't wear, but they are still nice and never worn. I told her to let them go and let someone else enjoy them. :) <br />Emma Knight Peelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139320098521755779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-89705336750005814232016-09-12T11:39:25.943-07:002016-09-12T11:39:25.943-07:00Where do you keep your unmentionables (bras, under...Where do you keep your unmentionables (bras, underwear)?

A tidy wardrobe ruthlessly eliminates selfishness. This time, to my chagrin, I found myself wanting to cling onto things which were really ready to go. By continually assessing what we need, and giving away those things which are not needed, and by eliminating excess we are poking at the cling of selfishness as it manifests itself in our wardrobes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
