Do you want to dress quickly and confidently while being true to yourself? It’s a real struggle when your wardrobe is overspilling with clothes you hardly ever wear. All that physical chaos and mental confusion makes it nearly impossible to feel put together. I’m here to show you how I’ve helped my clients, and myself, build a wardrobe that truly fits by first decluttering.
How Many Clothes do I Really Need? (And Why “More” Isn’t the Answer to Wardrobe Boredom)
We often think the solution to wardrobe boredom is buying more, but more clothes often mean more decision fatigue. Perhaps the answer isn’t a new shopping trip, but a gentle “reality check” using a bit of simple math and a few joyful experiments.
Things I Avoid Buying Even Though I Don’t Call Myself A Minimalist
Although I have always got things organised in my home, I must confess there was a time in my life when I owned more than what I own today. But becoming a mother and 2 years later deciding to leave the corporate world so I could work from home while taking care of my son drove me to make space in my home for all the baby paraphernalia and for a home office. Even though the decision to purge came out of my desire to keep things organised in our home, I quickly realised that owning less also made my life easier.
Please Don’t Call Me A Minimalist
People often assume that because of my job I must be a minimalist. Granted, I advocate, and practise, stripping out excess stuff in order to make room for the things that matter. And I often share on my Facebook page quotes and articles that I find quite inspirational from well-known minimalists, in particular, Courtney Carver and Joshua Becker. But I don’t like being referred to as a minimalist because of the misconceptions that surround the term and that don’t reflect my life and work philosophy.
Living Well With Less
More and more people are seeing the appeal of minimalism – a movement that explores living a life that prioritises quality over quantity, and simplicity over unnecessary complications.
How going on a shopping diet changed my life
What if you stopped shopping for clothes? Back in 2014, I did just that, embarking on a spontaneous shopping diet. My 14-month “experiment” unexpectedly transformed my life, a story that still sparks curiosity and fascination.
I am on a clothes diet… and I am loving it!
Do you ever find yourself wanting new clothes, even when your wardrobe is perfectly functional? Back in 2014, I learned about someone who embarked on a ‘shopping diet.’ That brave experiment inspired me to look at my own clothes, and my relationship with shopping, in a whole new way. I’m absolutely loving the shift and the unexpected clarity it brought!
