@_freddy_fresh_ 14 pieces are leaving my wardrobe. Why? Because I just came back from Italy with 7 new ones. I have a 1-in, 2-out rule. Partly because my wardrobe is already too big, but mainly because it makes me think twice before adding something new. Do I really like it? Will I actually wear it? And what am I willing to let go for it? Because I don’t want a bigger wardrobe. I want one where every piece earns its place.

FEWER CLOTHES, LESS NOISE, BETTER OUTFITS.
I just came back from Italy with these seven pieces and a severely violated bank account, which means these 14 pieces now have to leave my wardrobe. You see, I have a one in and two out tier. So for every purchase, two pieces have to go. And the reason for this is simple. The more clothes you have, the harder it is to get dressed. It's called choice overload, which basically means the more we have to choose from, the harder it is and the more likely we are to pick what we always wear. And my wardrobe is the size of a small city in Peru. So this rule helps to shrink my wardrobe, but it also sets a higher bar for anything new coming in. Before something new comes in, I ask myself these three questions. One. Is it better than what I already own? And in the case of this Nokia tier shirt, answer is obvious. Number two. Will I actually wear it or does it just look amazing in the store? And number three. What am I willing to let go of? Because I don't think we should strive for a bigger wardrobe. We should aim for a wardrobe where every piece ends its place.
