As a minimalist, I know many people expect me to say, “You should only own 30 items of clothing” or something ridiculous. But this actually couldn’t be further from the truth.
Decluttering is a great starting point, but the best solution is to stop what’s coming in. This means you need to get your shopping under control, or you’ll continue to struggle with too many clothes.
Are you wearing all of your clothes? If not, then here’s a hard truth. You probably don’t like them all—at least not on you.
This is an important lesson that took me a long time to learn. You can love a style, admire it on other women, and save it to your Pinterest boards, but this doesn’t mean that you like how it looks on you.
You can start by removing the obvious stuff like damaged or worn-out clothes.
Once you’re done with that, it’s time to identify your style. Get curious about the clothes you already have. Look for patterns in fit, fabric, hemlines, colours, patterns, and more.
