Long before deciding to become a minimalist, I've had the following philosophy on acquiring new clothes:
"Bringing home something new means getting rid of something old".
Not counting personal items, I currently have 34 pieces of clothing:
- 4 pair dress pants
- 4 blouses
- 4 t-shirts
- 4 light jackets
- 3 sweaters
- 2 blazers
- 2 skirts
- 2 pair jeans
- 2 pair shorts
- 2 vests
- 1 sweatshirt
- 1 winter coat
- 1 fall coat
- 1 jean jacket
- 1 bathing suit
Wow, I still have work to do to have a minimalist wardrobe! But I want to. :-)
ReplyDeleteTwo "techniques" I use are (1) if it doesn't fit, I don't keep it, and (2) if I bring something new in, something old has to go!
