preface: i am waging a constant war against owning stuff and clothes are the biggest culprit, this does not apply to those of you who donโt care about that. pls continue doing whatever the hell you want & be happy
anyway yeah it helps with not owning so much shit to have a philosophy about what kind of stuff you want and why, keeps the bad purchases to a minimum
personally i think of things as everyday shit, fancier/special occasion shit, and things that can be both. i try to own as much of things that can be both as possible and as little of the special occasion shit as possible. iโm a fairly aggressive uniform dresser which helps (same silhouettes changing specific items depending on weather & season) but yeah it just gets so easy to think ok in this one incredibly specific situation iโd wear this thing but in reality no you never will wear that thing give it up to someone who will
