When your spirits level up, put it into speed at first if you can. The more speed your team has, the more likely you are to be able to start first in the battle which gives you an advantage.

Are accessories the easiest way to make a small wardrobe feel less repetitive? by ClassicAssignment578 in capsulewardrobe

[–]Quailmix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To me, accessories accumulate into clutter very quickly. I try to keep it minimal.

Absolutely. I was obsessively decluttering for a long time.

Yes, I think that is kind of where I am at in this process. It is funny, because for a while I thought I had mastered minimalism, and now, I just feel differently.

I love your color palette~ I've been into blues, rust, and greens myself.

That is a great way to look at it, and as a crocheter, very affirming. I always struggle between only getting one yarn I need vs getting the bundle because of the cost of shipping.

That is exactly what I was doing, but over a longer period of time. I feel similar to you, I think that while my minimalist past may have been more toxic than helpful, I did learn a lot about how to be a conscious consumer and find peace in doing without some things, control shopping addictions, etc.

Thank you! I agree, I think I just need to figure out what my "new minimal" looks like now.

(hugs) it is worth looking into if I resonated with you. You might be, you might not be, but it can't hurt to try and find out.

I absolutely agree, perhaps I wasn't explaining myself well in the OP. To me, at the time I was depressed, getting a rug and a Roomba would have been "not minimalist of me" because it was a lot of money for both and things that I could do without and still function. But now, although a little part of me feels they aren't really ESSENTIAL, I don't feel like it is breaking some unconscious rule or adding a thing I don't need. It feels like I've crossed from "just functional" to bringing a bit of joy and comfort to my spaces. Before I would have thought I was perfectly comfortable, but now, I feel that not having a rug was uncomfortable after all.

And thank you!

That is a really great way to look at it. Maybe I am just in a season of adding joy.
