This is so inspiring! I’m really trying to get rid of all the clothes I rarely ever wear before we make this move. I can’t wait to see what all you incorporate in your conscious closet!

I have been focusing on building a smarter wardrobe. No matter how many items I have in my closet, I tend to wear the same few things over and over again….so there is really no need for a bunch of cheap, impulse purchases.

I’m so excited for you, Anna!! It is so awesome seeing bloggers be more conscious of materialism and having a more minimalist approach. I started my conscious consumerism journey in February and absolutely love it 🙂 I only buy clothes that were made in eco-friendly and ethical conditions and if you need some help finding brands, I can definitely help! I often highlight brands I support on my blog, if you want to check it out!

I’ve been trying to do this for awhile now. I think I need to sell half of my closet first! Oh, and limit the spontaneous shopping trips!

A great post. This is something I believe in and am continually working towards. I hate to admit how HARD this is for me. Trends and shopping malls are not my problem—thrifting is! It’s all too easy to justify purchasing cheap and secondhand gems—but I know I want to cut back so that I own less. Best of luck to you in your quest for a simpler life! xx

I’m doing this too, to coincide with my recent move back to Georgia and my new job! As I was packing to move back I couldn’t believe the amount of clothes and SHOES I owned but never wore! They were trendy pieces that I didn’t want anymore. Donated them all and I’m slowly but surely building a “conscious closet” now. For every new piece I buy, I’ll donate another item or two until I feel like my closet is truly efficient and the pieces are timeless and minimal.
Thanks for sharing these pieces!

Hi! I just stumbled onto your blog via Pinterest. Just wanted to let you know I think this post is fantastic. I love how you designed the collage of pieces, and I’m curious how you did it. Did you photograph your own pieces or use an online portal? It looks amazing and really caught my eye.
I’m loving your style and wardrobe philosophies and I think I just found myself a new read:)

Loving this, Anna! I am working on the same thing right now. There is one great thing about moving often – the less you own, the less there is to pack. That is some motivation right there 😉

I just started doing this to and I love it! It also makes it so much easier to shop for new things and not feel like I want to get anything I don’t need, since I have a plan in place.

What a great idea! I donated so so so much of my clothes when I made my apartment move recently…and still. STILL. I have so much. And you know what?! I don’t even wear 1/4 of it! I just keep it because “maybe one day!” Also, with the seasons, it’s so easy to pile up on the clothes…But, this makes me want to purge more! I usually stick to the basics anyway, and it looks like you have got a good lot there! Hopefully I can say I’m taking part soon! 😛

Thanks for sharing. It’s true, we have become so materialistic and the idea of minimalist wardrobe is very appealing. If you’re hoping to support brands who incorporate ethical guidelines in their product creation and distribution I’m sure you’ll love checking out these guys I just discovered. https://threadharvest.com.au/about/

I think having a minimal wardrobe is great for so many reasons and would definitely encourage more people to try it out. However, I don’t think you can claim to support brands who incorporate ethical guidelines in their product creation and distribution” when both the shoes are from the GAP brand which mass produce clothing using awful labor conditions and cheap materials.

O wow ! Thats a tight closet! I have been doing a all year round minimal wardrobe. I’ve just recently joined your blog so I might of missed a few things. Tee shirts sneakers LBD a blazer or leather jacket or a pair of heels not included in capsule ? Or are they part of a basic wardrobe you pass on from season to season ? Do agree with your principles . Best pay of form me living with a minimal wardrobe is much more practical and mindfull purchases. Its made me look at fashion with different eyes. Now fashion works for me instead of me being a fashion slave at the mercy of a money making racket !
