Determining what is 'enough' in your wardrobe hinges on your personal preferences and the clarity of what you truly want. Many find themselves overwhelmed by excess—old clothes, lack of variety, and items that don't resonate with them. Emphasizing the importance of variety prompts a reflection on motivation: understanding why you desire certain styles and for whom you are dressing is crucial. A practical approach involves eliminating clothing that doesn't bring joy or confidence. By 'shopping' in your own closet and discarding any piece that feels off, you create a curated collection of favorite garments, leading to a more satisfying and intentional wardrobe.
