Roses are red, violets are blue, take me to the thrift store if this love is true ❤️😝

Do you ever come across old photos and think, “What happened to that item?”

I do this a lot! Like this romper here, I got rid of it years ago and I wish I hadn’t. It was a free item from a clothing swap, soo I wore it a few times and thought it was time for something new.😅😩

I feel like as a society we have a decluttering problem. We buy things we love, then donate the piece shortly after, to then bring in something “better”.

I’m trying to break this cycle to build a wardrobe that is well loved.

This means:
1. Only buying piece I absolutely love
2. Using a digital wardrobe app
3. Following creators with well loved closets
4. Watching less YouTube decluttering videos
5. Understanding my style

Do you have a well loved closet? What are your thoughts on decluttering?

Here’s to a better week 💚
