Before you buy – ask Does it Bring Me Joy?

I have seen on social media many posts on the new Marie Kondo Netflix show.  It is an interesting take on decluttering and giving value to the objects that we have accumulated.  Clothing is a big part of the process and she instructs people to hold each item and determine if it brings them joy before deciding to keep or discard each item.

If we are going to tackle our fashion addiction and avoid the mountains of clothing in our possession, perhaps we need to start the process of asking ourselves – “does this bring me joy?” at the point of purchase as opposed to after we have brought it home.

  3. Does it make my toes curl with excitement?

I try consciously ask myself these three questions for every item of clothing I purchase.  I have noticed a stark reduction in the amount of clothing I am buying.  It is a step in the right direction.
