Sorry boys, this may not be very interesting to you, (or it may be for some of you)! But ever since I wrote my Decluttering Your Closet post, I’ve been thinking about minimalist wardrobes, and how curating the items to reflect our personal style can be quite fun (if you’re into fashion). I do not like consumerism, so I don’t want to give the impression that this is where I’m going. It’s more about refining and being purposeful with what we own. Loving (and using) every piece in our wardrobes.
Again, the way I define minimalism is it is about finding out what is essential and getting rid of everything else. And this can be applied to our closets. I personally gravitate towards items that are practical, comfortable, serve multiple purposes and that match several things, hence why I like to stick to a neutral colour pallet.
Anyway, I’ve found an amazing blog created by Anuschka Rees, a young 25 year old woman from Berlin, Germany, called Into Mind that focuses on personal style AND minimalism. Anuschka’s website has nothing to do with the 10 Items All Women Should Have, it’s about refining and curating our wardrobes to reflect our own signature look. And if you’re into or interested in capsule wardrobes, there are tons of posts on that, for example here and here.
Below is a snapshot of her thought process or linked here:
Excuse me while I get lost in this website for a little while :).
Good night world!
*Edit* Uh oh, found another style and minimalism blog (Unfancy) here. Into Mind is very theoretical. Unfancy is more practical. If you have a preference.
Oooo…thanks for this. My most daunting task ahead is building a wardrobe that I love instead of the mishmash of 2nd hand things that fill my closet now.
Yay, glad it’s useful. I’ve finally realized that I buy all my clothes willy nilly. I’ve created a capsule wardrobe plan for the fall and I’m going to make sure I only buy those items, and I am so excited about it! I used the template on un-fancy.com
Pia these two blogs are wonderful – thanks for sharing 🙂
Yay, I love sharing info I find!
