Are you are ready to start getting rid of some stuff that you have been dragging around for quite a while?
Not sure? I have some questions for you:
Is your closet jammed packed with clothes yet you feel like you have nothing to wear?
Does the sight of your closet feel overwhelming and stressful?
Do you dream of a way to lighten your load, clear some space, have a peaceful, calm closet, and still have plenty to wear?
Yes? Does that sound great?
I like minimalism. I like the concept of decreasing waste and getting rid of stuff, which for me decreases stress.
An added benefit is that this mindset crosses over to many aspects of your life. Not just your clothes!
You can apply it to your kitchen tools, cleaning products, office supplies, food, and your finances! Everything in your life.
Melissa Neacato joins me today to talk about the question, what is a capsule wardrobe?
What is it actually?
It is a way to decrease your clutter.
She is going to discuss a couple of key components from her webinar that she offers once a month on how to create your own capsule wardrobe.
Melissa was a guest on this show a while back in Episode 40, What the Heck is a 401 K?
She has a sweet and soothing way of breaking down potentially scary stuff, and walking you through the resistance.
She is here again, this time, to help take the fear out of downsizing your closet.
You can hear more from Melissa on her expertise in managing money.
She gave a really helpful and informative interview about 401Ks and how you can start painlessly growing your fortune. That is episode 40.
Episode 34 tells you how to pack lightly for a trip so you can really enjoy the adventure and not worry about the weight of unnecessary clothing.
I think you will also like Episode 18 which teaches you how to get out of debt or better yet, not to get into debt!
And in episode 7 and episode10 Randi Levenbaum talks about streamlining finances, still having enough money to enjoy life, and retiring at 43. Minimalism at its finest. She’s my hero.
