It just occurred to me the other day when going through my wardrobe and trying to do a heavy purge, that we always make lists of what to buy to fill up our wardrobe and make it complete.
Or our lives for that matter.
But why not a ‘What NOT to buy’ list?
On my quick list would be the following:
WHAT NOT TO BUY
- No more dresses. — Seriously.
- No more loose leaf tea — I only really enjoy Earl Grey Cream tea anyway
- No more jeans or pants — I only have 1 pair of jeans and 5 pirs of work pants, it’s enough
- No more white shirts — T-shirts or collared, I have enough
- No more coats — My coat wardrobe for all the seasons is complete
- No more hard drives — I have plenty
- No more makeup — I could go a lifetime on what I have, seeing as I only stick to fast routines & neutrals anyway
- No more bags –– Little pouches, packing pouches, suitcases, and purses. NO MORE!
- No more creams — Luckily I only have a few bottles, not boxes full, but I should use it all before I replace them
The only thing is to keep all of this in mind as I go out and window shop idly. *sigh*
The good news, is I kind of already know that I have everything I need, and if I buy something, it is 99.99% a non-essential.
A good rule to keep in mind!
I'm a 20-something year old girl who lived out of a single suitcase in 2007, and now I'm living with less, but only with the best.
You don't have to get rid of everything to become a minimalist!
Minimalism can help simplify and organize your life, career, & physical surroundings. You can
