052: The Case for a Smaller Wardrobe

2018-12-23 Mama Minimalist

Have you ever stood in front of your closet, hands on hips, furrowed brow, wondering How. On. Earth. you have a closet full of stuff yet nothing to wear?

Me too.

The answer to this all-to-common conundrum doesn’t lie in purchasing more clothes. In fact, this week’s guest advocates for owning a *smaller* wardrobe.

My guest this week is Julia Mooney. She has garnered national attention for wearing the same gray dress for 69 consecutive work days (+ counting!).

Julia imagines a world in which we are defined by our characters, not by our clothes. Even better? She believes smaller wardrobes are the answer.
