What I struggle with is the dual lives I seem to lead. Most of the time I'm at home, rolling around on the floor with my little girl, sewing, picking up, cooking -- jeans and a t-shirt are my staples. When I do head out, it's usually on errands, which I'm not going to change my outfit for. My "fancier" clothes are pulled out for special occasions. If I try to pare down to fewer, more special items -- well what do I wear every day when things are more rough-and-tumble...? <abbr><em><abbr><em>Allegras last blog post..<a href="http://awesomeasaone.wordpress.com/2009/04/27/awesome-item-of-the-day-15/" rel="nofollow">Awesome Item of the Day</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Such a great idea — I do love it.

I've been trying to become minimalist in all areas of my life, and my wardrobe has been one of my favorites to work on! I realized after I made the conscious decision to stop buying more clothes that I'm more creative now with my outfits. I'll add a cute scarf or a pretty necklace to an outfit I wouldn't have normally "dressed up". My suggestion, however, isn't to get rid of the clothes you have too quickly. I did an experiment in college (when I was much more frugal) - I stopped buying clothes for a year. Those pieces that I didn't love before became some of my favorite pieces as my "favorite" clothes became old and raggy looking! Ones I never gave a second look at were the ones that fit me the greatest! This is a great post.
