I don't think I ever could never scale down to the degree that you have! However I must say that by looking at your list I see just how over indulgent I have been in most instances. 99% of the time I buy at thift shops or on serious clearance, but I still have way too much stuff. So thanks for being an inspiration to downsize more in the coming months! OMG you are my hero… I don’t think I ever could never scale down to the degree that you have!

Catching my reading here. I´d love to declutter my wardrobe and be able to have nearly the same items you have, just a few more. I have a few dresses and leather jackets that are precious items, although I don´t wear them much. The fact is I have many clothes but I keep wearing the same over and over... Recently, I lost over 15 kg and now most clothes don´t fit me, a great time to make a "revolution" on my wardrobe. The problem is I´ll have to buy new things if I don´t want to look like a clown in XXL clothes. I wonder if I could sell those clothes... In Faro there are no second hand clothes stores and Portuguese don´t have the habit of doing garage sales. Hugs, from your Portuguese friend, Mizé .-= Mizé´s last blog ..<a href="http://nightclicksforextras.blogspot.com/2009/09/e-mail-marketing.html" rel="nofollow">E-mail Marketing</a> =-. Hello Laura!

You just soundly proved me wrong. I've been looking into a minimalist lifestyle for a while and my big hang-up was the lack of clothing. I grew up in an affluent community and have been expected to dress well all my life. I'm not saying that I would ever cut down to 29 (props for the number) but the fact that a woman can says a lot.

That really is a radical clear-out. I wish I had the confidence to do that, rather than just ditching a couple of pieces at a time.
