Having less stuff enables me to live lightly and travel freely. It helps me make calculated choices, and expend energy in the right places. Now I put more thought into purchasing clothes than I do in putting clothes together.

Minimalism is not about reaching a certain number of possessions. It’s about your deliberate choices.

How much storage space you have
What kinds of different occasions you need/want to consider
How often you can/want to clean your clothes
