Paring down the clothing...how often have I thought about it and started, but just never made it happen? I have clothes from DECADES ago that I still wear and like.
Now that I have two other women living in my house, and they can wear a lot of my clothes, the items just shift from my closet to theirs. Praise the Lord for stretching resources further. He will supply my needs and my kids'! I was blessed to find so many slips in my drawer tonight.
So I've made a list of what we're going to try in my girls' room for a month:
5 casual outfits
3-4 dressy outfits (probably 3 casual dressy, 1 fancier)
3 pajamas
max 7 undies
max 7 socks
tennis shoes
boots
3 pr dress/other shoes
slips you need
panty hose
1 robe for winter
1 robe for summer
3 jacket/sweatshirts
It isn't minimalist but it will get us thinking in the right direction--outfits vs. a lot of mix and match. Surely there will be some overlap, but looks can be changed with a scarf, necklace or sweater. Too much vanity and prosperity leads to TOO MANY clothes and choices.
Here is something you might enjoy watching from Crystal, the Money Saving Mom. A true minimalist who is beautifully working the mix and match. I'm dazzled.
