As a minimalist, there are a lot of things that I don't buy. These are the things that don't bring any value to my life. I used to buy all of these items at one point or other, but anything besides basic needs has since been decluttered. None of this is to say that if you buy these items, you can't be a minimalist. Minimalism will look different for everyone. The main goal is…
I've never made a vision board before. Like, ever. Or, at least, not intentionally. I do have some faint memories of cutting up magazines and pasting the cut outs to a piece of paper but I don't think there was any real reason behind it, other than boredom. But I came across a vision board that Mind. Beauty. Simplicity put together a few days ago and I felt really inspired. I feel really focused…
A few years ago, I decided that I would no longer make resolutions for the new year. I had made them for as long as I can remember. Read more, exercise more, study more, drink less, quit shopping. And inevitably, I'd fail at them and then feel like crap about it. But a few years ago, I decided to try a different practice that felt gentler and more in line with self-care than a…
I decluttered my entire wardrobe. Again. And then I created a capsule wardrobe. Again. What can I say? I just can't quit them. This capsule is a little different than my previous capsule wardrobes because it’s not a season specific capsule. Instead, it’s a cold weather capsule wardrobe that will see me through the rest of fall, the entire winter and part of spring. By all minimalist accounts, I still have a lot of…
I'm done with my seasonal capsule wardrobe. At least for the foreseeable future. It seems weird to write that only a week after publishing my fall capsule wardrobe post. But it doesn't feel right. I should be excited about it but I'm not. If anything, I feel really uninspired and restricted. Maybe I got too far ahead of myself. I wanted to start my capsule on September 21st. But, aside from a few cooler…
A minimalist, I mean. When I started blogging three years ago, my intent had been to talk about minimalism and living with less stuff. Hence the name "Uncomplicated Spaces". I had already been working toward a more minimalist lifestyle for about 2 years prior and I was really interested in sharing my voice. I really wanted to show other people that minimalism isn't just a tiny home or a 500 square foot apartment. Both…
I used to be a shopaholic. But slow fashion has helped me to curb my old shopping tendencies and to become more intentional in the things that I purchase.
I am about to embark on my first Project 333 Capsule wardrobe. Read on to how I came to this decision.
There are a lot of wonderful people writing about living intentionally. Please read on for the articles that inspired me this week.
