I’ve been thinking a lot lately about if I want to continue having a minimalist wardrobe (I wrote about my summer capsule wardrobe here). One of the main tenants of a capsule wardrobe is only having clothes in your closet and dresser that actually fit you. Once I cleared out all of the ill-fitting clothing several years ago I was left with a lean closet and finding business casual (non-jean clothing) for work was a constant struggle…until I discovered Bravissimo. Which makes me wonder was I an accidental minimalist? Did I only have such a small wardrobe because I didn’t know where to buy clothes that would flatter my body?
A big thing in the minimalist world is counting the number of items you own. Two of the bloggers I follow actually do this with their wardrobes: Gold Zipper and Paris To Go. Gold Zipper’s video on analyzing her wardrobe is fascinating. This video got me thinking – what percentage of my wardrobe is made by a bust friendly brand?
Currently, I only have two bust friendly brands in my closet: Bravissimo/Pepperberry and Urkye. However, not counting bottoms these two brands account for 52% of my wardrobe!
I learned two things in this experiment: I have more clothing than I thought I did (56 items!) and a much higher percentage of it is bust friendly than I thought. My goal for 2019 is to branch out and support other bust friendly brands. Do you have any favorites you would like to see me try out? And do you think I own too much or too little clothing?
Great post! I love learning about new bust-friendly merchants and there’s nothing like having someone try them out and share their experience. As far as clothing and closet size – minimal means different things to different people. What ever number makes you feel good – have your life activities covered, etc – is perfect for you. I like having some variety to play with, but not so much I’m overwhelmed or it’s hard to manage. That would be different for everyone I’m guessing. Thanks for an awesome blog! Absolutely love it.
