I have so far done my dressing table drawers and quite a bit of the paperwork in the office - have yet to do a post about it but reading yours certainly motivating me. The 'stuff' mountain for me to give to charity / sell on ebay is mounting in our spare room. I am putting things in there to see if I can do without them before getting rid all together!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-77438841184437521372014-02-18T15:46:26.212+00:002014-02-18T15:46:26.212+00:00Big snow day today, staying cozy inside, little ba...Big snow day today, staying cozy inside, little babe is a bit manic, so I decided to have her "help" me sort through the sock bin - get rid of the holey, single ones.

It's interesting as things do tend to drift into colour blocks so it's still a controlled amount of clothing but with plenty of excitement. thrift deluxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12267215022924475298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-44192883052250377122014-02-18T09:23:03.306+00:002014-02-18T09:23:03.306+00:00I love a bit of colour in my wardrobe too.

We're lucky to have the luxury of not necessarily having to earn a pound or two. It's ongoing; I always have a box sitting waiting to have things tossed in as I go…<br />I'm always in two minds about the wardrobe - that one up there looks gorgeous but in honesty, I don't want to just wear black/white (simple as that would be as a minimalist wardrobe!) because I adore colour! That has always been my dilemma, how to have a colourful minimalist wardrobe but I've noticed my choices are sliding into colour areas (teal/blue/jade and coral/pink/red) these days so in a way I have managed to corral things, partly to do with going grey. I haven't counted recently but don't think I wear as much as 33 items of clothing regularly (I occasionally do a 6 item challenge for a couple of weeks). Today I'm in teal and grey with hints of white...Swissrosehttp://www.thelittlewashhouse.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-20108141620949513992014-02-18T01:23:59.807+00:002014-02-18T01:23:59.807+00:00Yes, I have donated most things to charity or frie...Yes, I have donated most things to charity or friends/family if they wanted/needed it. I saved up things for a while to sell and got so frustrated by the pile and the challenge for me to have a market stall as a vision-impaired person that I started to get really stressed - that process just isn't fun to me. I always feel that our time and emotions have a value too, and some dollars doesn't compensate that to me. xlucent imageryhttp://www.lucentimagery.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-7594954019751069682014-02-17T21:53:07.672+00:002014-02-17T21:53:07.672+00:00Thanks for the continued inspiration Claire.

Limiting colour choices has really helped me in my wardrobe editing too and makes creating those capsules really easy.<br />Lovely to hear you are more content and spending quality time with family and friends and thanks as always for the inspiration you give us all.

Having less of a colour choice makes getting ready a lot easier. Tomorrow's task is to decide on a colour combination for clothing and work a capsule wardrobe around that. So far this year I have downsized my jewellery to 3 necklaces, 4 bracelets and 1 watch. I do have a few items of fashion jewellery which I'm not counting as they only get worn occasionally to dress up an outfit. So I am hoping my clothing colour choices will make me wear my small collection of jewellery again. I would love a wardrobe like the one you pictured, so neat and tidy. I'm off to have a look at your Pinterest board.

I also find I take a while to become unattached to clothing items even though I might not wear them anymore.

I have very limited time to devote to trawling though our stuff (I have a 4 yr old and 10 month old) but I can't wait to get rid of some of the clutter. I've managed to sort through some of the baby stuff we don't need anymore so hoping to list a few things on Gumtree soon. xCol | Hello Olive Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04573590870299496730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-76117628619818496252014-02-17T18:15:13.008+00:002014-02-17T18:15:13.008+00:00Is that your wardrobe?
