Are there other readers that do want to join (or joined for that matter) but who have doubts/fear of missing out? On the one hand, I really want to join, but on the other hand I don't. For some reason I don't think I can do it and I have fear that I will be missing out on good deals. There are a bunch of what-ifs and just-in-case scenarios running around in my head. I just KNOW that they are all bullshit though and I should join. There are so many people in the world that have so little..
I purged my wardrobe the last few years and got rid of about 75%. Sold or donated and bought some really quality things I actually really like. I have way less but I really like it more than my stuffed closet I used to have. But I do feel that I'm also on the look-out for the perfect things and I want to stop this and just wear and like what I have and think less about wanting more. It's so ungrateful.
Last year I tracked my spending and I bought: 27 items total. 16 items second-hand, so not expensive. I already sold (or am going to sell) 10 items because these were bad bargains and am keeping the other 17 items (great winter coat, good shoes, some pants, cardigans, outdoor jacket, shirts). I really know what I like/am going to wear because of my purging so there is definitely progress.. I also joined project 333 but I fear I will "need" spring and summer clothing. What if I come across the "perfect" dress or sandals? I know, this is bullshit!
I thought about joining with a list of exceptions (one in, one out? only 5 items this year?) but I fear that this will just be justification for spending.
Advice welcome.. ;) I hope you do not think I'm whining or something..
