046: Sweet Simplicity during the Holidays

It's possible to practice minimalism during the holidays. Here's how.

They’re here. The holidays! 

It’s the season of overabundance. It’s the season of joy, sure, but it can also very easily become the season of over-the-moon stress + anxiety. 

On this week’s episode, we discuss action-oriented steps to infuse our holidays with simplicity. We get into minimalism as it applies to: 

  • gift giving 
  • traditions, +
  • that enormous, extended family dinner.

My guest this week is Laura Brassie of Ivory + Pine. Laura’s a therapist + blogger who proves that minimalism during the holidays isn’t the ultimate paradox: simple festivities are actually quite attainable. Here’s how.

Revisiting The Capsule Wardrobe Conversation

Have a closet full of clothes but nothing to wear? While capsule wardrobes are often touted as the singular solution to closet overwhelm, many report that they can be restrictive, boring and, frankly, unrealistic in practice.

A minimalist closet is best served by first identifying the outfits needed to live YOUR unique life. On today's show podcaster Lauren Morley shows us how to streamline our wardrobes, say goodbye to clutter, and feel effortlessly put together every day by focusing less on capsules and more on a 20 outfit wardrobe, instead.

 

Here's a preview:
