I have a very minimalistic wardrobe, in fact inside this wardrobe is not only my own clothes, but also all of my kids' clothes as well as my linen and towels and things like that. This is my minimalist wardrobe to. We will get to looking at this, but this wardrobe is actually a massive upgrade from the van that we lived in, so me and my wife and three kids lived in a camper van and everything had to fit in these tiny cupboard within the van.
We are trying to get a little bit more organized now now that we know kind of what we need and what size containers we needed, so we're just finishing putting all of our clothes away. So these are our four or five of the ride and I say I went into three key sale and he. That's basically all of their clothes. That's all brought. And then poetry's Dan here.
So as you can say, having space like this, we also have down the bottom and we had the other side as well is actually a huge upgrade in space when compared to the van. Now I want to start with my clothes and then we'll look at the kids' clothes as well as the linen and stuff like that. The thing that enabled me to fit everything I own on this one shelf. Okay. Well basically everything I owned except Walmart Jumpers and things like that which are in a separate space, but they would go up here but I just haven't put them there at the moment. So basically all my day to day living fits on this one shelf within. Have a shelf for Branson who's seven, one for Alex who's three. And then over this side we have donors, we have linen, we have sessions cause it, and then we have our towels and things like that.
So looking at my closet, the thing that allowed me to go so simple was to keep all my clothing simple. Here we have tee shirts. Okay. We can see white and black tee shirts. There's actually a couple there that I do need to throw out because I just bought some nuance behind the t shirts this year is singlets. Okay. So mostly I have about six whites, England's as well as one marone one there. So t shirts, singlets on these, basically all the same socks. And then this is the pants section here. So we've got boardshorts, we've got shorts, we've got track pants for winter, and then we've got a couple of pairs of chains as well. So that's basically everything that I wear. If we look at the kid stuff is the same sort of thing. Now the kids spend half the time with me half the time with their mom, so don't have as many kids.
Clothes as well as some stuff's in the wash, especially pants, underpants socks, t shirts and the jumpers are at mum's and then pants under pants, tee shirts and then socks at the back. Their shoes are also stored. But to make this minimalist wardrobe possible, I really had to look at the clothes that I was wearing and really just make sure that everything fit together and downsize them to the essential oils. You may have heard of the 80 slash 20 rule where you 80 percent of your results from 20 percent of the things that you do. The same goes for clothing. Eighty percent of the time you're going to be wearing just 20 percent of the clothes that you own.
