I know what you mean Maneera & for me denial gets to be really uncomfortable - mostly anyway

Again, for me it was a real relief to stop amassing "stuff". It doesn't mean I only buy things I need it just means I love & use most of the things I do buy.

Brava, Maneera! I totally agree that creativity has a lot more to do with styling outfits than buying them. I so look forward to following along on your discoveries; I think you'll have a lot to say that helps me move along my journey from styling intuitively to styling mindfully. Enjoy!

Caro-----you're so very wise. I hope you'll always be around to guide my dressing style.

Cerinda----I love the word 'mindful'. And I've been practicing Mindful Eating for about 15 months...and it really really shows. I am way more mindful of what I put into my body now. So why not be mindful about your style and what you put ON your body too?!

Dee --- I absolutely love your effortless style and I'm always amazed that you wear your clothes in so many cool, different ways. I hope to reach there too.

Thanks for your encouragement, Denise. I'll need it!

@Kiwigal ---- I want to see those purchases, Sally! When do we get to see the new items in your WIWs? Actually....I love your clothes as much as I love your gorgeous wallpapers So I get excited about your WIWs.....hahaha. I'm glad you FINALLY got something after your recent shopping trips

Ooh good luck! Resist those urges. Buy no more... I actually find the less I buy the more I use, and this will hopefully help you to figure out the stuff in your closet you won't ever wear and, hopefully, you can ditch a few things...to make room for the future closet expansions, obviously

Well said Ashleigh! However, I've already removed MOST things I knew in my heart I won't wear. I'm quite brutal when it comes to purging I have to be....I buy new things at an alarmingly fast speed!
