Paring down clothes - 1

-

The way I pared down my clothes was relatively straight forward. My objective was to eliminate the ones worn infrequently, and the ones hard to match with other clothes.

At the same time, I wanted to try a neutral color wardrobe like I had seen in KonMari inspired pictures. It was like curating a museum. 

A lot of thoughts were poured in during the making of this new wardrobe. The more I practiced, the better I got. It's indeed like muscle memory. 

All the clothes I had eliminated were donated. Over the course of time, I think I had a good 20 x 13 gallon bags!  My wardrobe was downsized, and clothes were on their way to new homes. 

This process is a win-win for society, I just had to do more!

The way I downsized my shoes was the same way as I practiced with my long sleeve shirts and coats. If there were multiple pairs of the same style/purpose, then the pairs worn the least, are the first ones to be eliminated.  Depending how much space you have, you can eliminate more or less, so everything fits in your storage.  Now matter how much we may love particular items, it doesn't serve us any better...
