M I N I M A L I S T


There has been a new wave in minimalist style lately, and it could not have come at a better time. We are living in a culture of over-consumption and not only is it costing us a fortune, but it is also costing the environment. But living a life of simplicity doesn't mean you have to sacrifice personal style. If anything, minimizing your wardrobe makes life easier and helps you express your style without constantly swapping out your closet.
The key is to have well-fitting, quality basics with your favorite vintage pieces.

Of course, "basics" are relative. If you work in an office, your definition of "basics" will be different than the studio artist down the street. But there are a few essentials that every woman should have in order to make her life simple:

black fitted pants      white button down shirt      black blazer       chambray shirt
skinny jeans          white t-shirt         perfectly fitting coat        white fitted jeans
leather sandals            black t-shirt          ankle boots         silk blouse
black leather jacket         flats       chunky knit sweater

 ....just to name a few.
Most importantly, these basics should be long lasting, should fit you perfectly and should be made with comfortable materials.  These items are worth spending good money on because they will never go out of style and will always look good with anything.
Finally, a minimalist wardrobe is the perfect wardrobe to incorporate vintage items. Great vintage pieces set your wardrobe apart and gives your style an individualistic touch.

If there is any rule for buying vintage it's buy whatever speaks to you.
You should love every vintage item you purchase. In fact, you should love EVERY item you purchase, period. If you don't love it, you won't wear it. But if you do love it, you know that it will go perfectly with all of your closet basics.
If you follow this rule, your wardrobe will be well used and you will avoid wasteful shopping. Plus, growing your vintage collection is easy on your wallet as well as easy on the environment.
