I have been a minimalist my whole life! But there was no name for it back then. It makes me happy to see that many people are turning to a more simple life. But I also worry if this is just a passing fad that will died. I have been reading there are many donation sites that have been overloaded and telling people to stop bring things. This has started after this show started on the first of the year! I would love to watch it but I do not have Netflix.But to get on a positive note! I am very happy that you have gone threw your things. And now are able to show off your ponies! Having a more simple wardrobe also will bring more peace to your life! There is less that you have to pick from. It will cost you less in washing them also! I keep mine simple with no crazy bright colors! But you can do any color that bring you joy! There is no set rules to this! I love having only what brings me joy in my home! Keep up the great work!

I didn't use the Konmari method but have been applying principles of minimalism to my life the past few years. Tidying up really does make such a difference in many ways.I agree so much! My journey started with wanting to lose weight, then I wanted to look professional, so I researched professional wardrobes. I stumbled across minimalism and capsule wardrobes. So I parsed down my closet and pinned a ton of ideas. Then I purchased off Amazon what I still needed and developed my wardrobe from there. After that, I learned about the Konmari method, purged a ton of items that didn't bring joy, and now this. I feel so much light both physically and mentally thanks to taking a more positive and proactive approach to my life.

Wardrobe is still something I struggle with, not in terms of # of items necessarily but in terms of what is appropriate, versatile, I feel good wearing, and fits my lifestyle.
That is so very true. I am learning more about versatility as I continue to develop my "look". I have found that sticking to dark solid colors seems to be really helpful in combining items. Today it is Friday, so I can wear jeans. So for examples I am in my dark blue jean, a black tee, and a burgundy cardigan. If I hadn't run out the door I would have some time to do my hair and add some accessories, but getting up at 5:30 today was challenge enough. Since most of my outfits tend to be understated in terms of pattern, I try to wear more interesting jewelry like statement necklaces, a brooch, or a couple mixed bangles. If I had made the time this morning, I probably would have worn my silver sparrow necklace, and some pink and white bangles. What colors and styles do you find most attractive for you?
Wow, that looks really nice! Do you mind if I use you for some inspiration? I’m going to be moving at some point so I’d love to do so!
