(HW) A tiny little approach to a minimalist-inspired wardrobe

Here I was standing, a couple of years ago with a bursting wardrobe and didn't know what to do. If I was being honest with myself, most of the clothes spilling from the racks in the most messy way you can imagine, I had not worn in ages. I was fed up, because it felt impossible to keep this monster of a closet tidy. 

As I am known for sometimes quite drastic decisions, I decided to pile it all up, pick out the pieces I had worn at least once during the last six months and donated the rest (exceot for some hopeless items that were turned into reuseable coth wipes for cleaning). 

What it these items were all you had?
There are people out there, who promote something called minimalism; as the name suggests; owning as little as possible and only after I had gotten rid of most of my clothes (and having hardly bought enw ones since!), I could finally truly understand why somebody would willingly limit their belongings : it is absolutely relieving.
  1. I feel less stressed out, because the clutter is gone
  2. Tidying takes about no time
  3. If you only have clothes you actually like wearing, you feel great every single day
And there is another benefit to this: since my clothes are limited, I shop more thoughtful than I used to a couple of years ago and hardly get new things without really needing them. This allows for making more conscious decisions on what I buy (I rather spend a bit more on shoes that will last me for many years to come).

 I am curious, how many pieces do you own, that you haven't worn in more than four months and could you imagine living a minimalist lifestyle?
