Road to Minimalism

  So this year I decided I didn't need any more clothes...... screen shots for proof....  I clearly have my favourites and I'm in complete shock looking at my finances this year that I spent a whopping £957.58 on exactly that. 2022 NO MORE CLOTHES!  

2021 Empties  looking at all of these items seems crazy. some I'm really happy I got through and others are my day to day that I will repurchase. I find it really interesting to see how many of each item I have used for example I can see here 3 powders  a hand full of perfumes and deodorants ect. im keen to do this again in 2022. I found it very motivating to use some of those smaller items that would normally sit around in a drawer for a few years.  

 December Empties perfume and some makes up! whooooop I'm please that I manage to get though some of the loose samples and little sashays this month all ready for the new year.... I'm just sorting out the image for the 2021 Empties 

  winter is here the jumpers are defiantly out looking forward to mixing it up next month bring on the Christmas theme jumpers. although with Black Friday deals im ashamed to say I have bought a lot of clothes 😩

 November Empties Some very long tail items here and a few samples very pleased with this lot. I am going to really push to use up some more this final month of the year. few more samples floating around...

 What i wore in October So again with the attempt to prove to myself i don't need to buy clothes i spent £82 on exactly that.  But here I'm going to justify... 2 pairs of black jeans - for work (ripped another pair they don't last me long) underwear... and i got a pair of boots re-heeled- which i though was a better option to buying a new pair.

September  ok so i've been back at work. I wore a total or 31 items  I purchased a new scarf and some pj bottoms for £28 i'm surprised with the fact that over half the items I only wore once in the month  how has everyone else done?

 Ok so after looking at my clothes at the beginning of the year I told myself I didn't need any more clothes. but still looking at my finances 9 months in I can see I still couldn't stop myself buying. so to hold myself accountable for future purchased i'm going to see if I can justify / explain my reasoning for buying. so in January pay day came I just changed jobs and though yes I need some jumpers for work. I have worn the teal one a total of 3 times, the grey is still in the plastic. I didn't like it at all the knit was stretchy and you can't roll your sleeves up. I ended up giving them both to my cousin. still in January we had some pretty rubbish wether so I got some dr marten boots I ordered the wrong size due to covid restrictions as you couldn't go and try them on so ended up selling on and buying the correct size.  happy with this purchase still wear them a lot I know they're pricey. looking at my style book app I have worn them 47 times since purc...

Ok month 2, so i've been logging what i've been wearing using an app called style book. this is the calendar layout. here is my most worn items of the month - this is interesting and i'm learning what I gravitate towards wearing and when shopping im more likely to buy things i'll actually wear rather than shopping for my fantasy self. here is it in revers so my least worn items - looking at the weather this month I started wearing some of my lighter jumpers and trainers instead of boots. (British weather)  this tells me cost per wear so since buying the item this calculates how many times I've logged it on my calender as worn - telling my my cost per wear. unfortunately some of the items I can't remember what I paid. this really hi lights to me that I don't need to buy clothes as i'm only wear about 10% of my wardrobe ONLY 23 different item in the month of feb  

Stylebook app https://www.stylebookapp.com the stylebook app has made it so easy to track what I actually wear from my wardrobe, I looked at the stats after a month and was shocked that this was all I had worn!
