The Classy Simple Life

How many times a week do you look at your clothing and think, “I have nothing to wear” even though you have hundreds of items in your closet? A Simple closet inspires a simple life. A simple closet does not just change your wardrobe, it changes your whole life. You realize that when you live with less, your life becomes more happy than you ever imagined. We think that the more we have, the happier we will be. This is not true. We never know what tomorrow might bring, so we collect and save as much as we can. We convince ourselves that we need to make a lot of money so we don’t miss out on anything. On the contrary the main thing that’s helped me live a simpler life is reduce the number of things I owned. It all started with my closet; I got rid of more than half of my clothes, shoes, and accessories and moved over to a seasonal capsule wardrobe  where I purchase only a few stylish things per season and wear mostly what I already have. I want to live my life on purpose; with joy, creativity, inspiration, and all the happiness life brings not that owning stuff brings. My goal in this world to define my style, and transform my closet into a place that inspires and gives me confidence each day when I pull pieces out of it.  If I can lead a happy life, touch the lives of others in a positive way, win the respect of those that I care about  then I considered myself I have been successful.
