Road to Minimalism

Feb Empties   This month was sooooooo much better than January. I gave myself a few realistic achievable goals! really helped in using a few bits up. last month I though I would be find but I wasn't motivated.  I have some bits lined up for march. although I'm now on my last deodorant so I had to order more! (but thats allowed. I have made myself the rule that I can only order more of a type of item when i'm on the last one!)  

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  

minimal make up so this is my every day make up here is my make up along with my back ups (I was gifted a lot this Christmas as I didn't know what else to ask for) storage :D  very happy with this am hoping to make my skin care, creams, and toiletries to this level of simplicity! 

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!   

Lush zero waste  but I've noticed that some of my tins are rusting a little so make sure you let the products dry before putting them away

When trying to minimise your things particularly your wardrobe you will find there are a few staple items you can't avoid, this maybe different of you but I can't seem to get away from needing a good pair of boots. I have wide feet and the Clarks Orinoco Spice come in a wide fit, these boots are lace-up but theres a zip so are quick to take on and off. the leather is soft and looks fantastic the more there worn, in my opinion.  Clarks description Orinoco Spice, women's ankle boots black leather - Add edge to outfits this winter with Orinoco Spice. These classic ankle boots use our bestselling Orinoco profile and team a lace fastening with a subtly cleated sole. In versatile black leather, these boots have a 3.5cm heel for everyday wearable height. They come in a range of colours black, grey different shades of brown, my personal favourite is the brown snuff and they average at around £50.
