If you’ve uttered this phrase “I have nothing to wear” looking at your overstuffed closet, please put your Balenciaga purse down and put your hand up in the air (yes, maybe even bow your head down in shame). 



We’ve got massive amounts of stuff yet we can’t decide on what outfit to wear today, sounds familiar?

Turns out, wanting lots of options is actually a myth. Books like “The Art of Choosing and “The Paradox of Choice: Why Less is More” (By Sheena Iyengar) talk about the danger of hyperchoice, it creates fatigue on consumers and in some cases, unpleasant experiences that leads to no purchase in the end. Fascinating, yes?

Aw, thank you so much for the comment and the well wishes. Things are definitely looking a little better balance wise :). I completely agree about the simplicity thing. Less is more, especially more in the accessories department. Love your bracelet and your heels (totally was about to get those Zara heels!)

Hey you!
I don't think I have quite the closet(s) that you do, but I do suffer from this too. I keep saying I need to purge my closet because I don't need 237293 shirts, but it's easier said than done...


Sincerely,
Sabrina

Great recommendations and reiterating what we should all know. I love to buy new clothes true, but I also always grab the same stuff about 80% of the time like every other woman. ;)
