Living with less. Appreciating more.

 

It’s an understatement to say this is a crazy time… and it’s affecting all of us in different ways.  Big and small brands alike are struggling and doing everything they can to survive. And because we are all staying home, our closets are full of clothes we aren’t even wearing. 

It makes me think twice about shopping right now, and instead use what I already have… as I sit here wearing my favorite camo yoga pants for the fifteenth time in three weeks. 

If you took part in my 10 day Closet Curation Challenge or even if you cleaned out your closet on your own, you’ve taken a hard look at all your clothes and decided what to let go. And now that all that stuff is gone, you can see and appreciate what you actually have.

Now more than ever is the perfect time to shop your closet.  And even though we aren’t going out, you can take this time to dress for yourself, see what works for you and makes YOU happy. Experiment with new combinations of your favorite things.  Or go crazy and wear the same thing again and again… and again.

Only then, will you know exactly what is missing and what you need. And you can be really specific and thoughtful about what you are adding to your closet…

Maybe you want to support a local boutique, a specific designer or brand.

Maybe you’ve been thinking about how your clothes are made and want to make more sustainable choices.

Maybe you want to end the cycle of buying things that just hang in your closet unworn. 

Remember friends, It’s a journey.  

Love and appreciate what you have.

xo, Laura
