Greyscale, it’s shocking to me how easy it is to ‘find’ wardrobe holes, even though I have at least 200 pieces in there! I suppose that’s just human nature, and at least I really only feel that way about my closet (vs my life in general, lol), but still. Weird!
I’m so glad you liked the post Celia! That’s a great analogy between closets & body image. And an excellent point about the time/energy taken up by the hunt; I’ve found myself focusing more on my other hobbies, since I don’t spend an hour browsing ebay/Like Twice. hehe I’m off to read your post!
Ornella, I’m so glad you chimed in! How fascinating that you feel most creative when you have fewer options…I like playing with colour combinations, which requires ‘duplicates’ in lots of colours, but I’m definitely finding that I’m self-limiting the closet more. For instance, it’s so cold here right now, it’s either wool trousers or wool skirts, which have very similar silhouettes for me (both full/voluminous w a fitted waist band & usually tucked in top) and I don’t mind at all. I don’t think I’ll ever be as minimal as you, but who knows? If I mange to sew a dress that fits me perfectly, I think I’d be happy with 2-3 of those, rather than fussing with all of the ‘almosts.'
