Feeling Bad

Yesterday I went out with family and there was 25% reduction on every item in the store. I bought a sweater, its really nice and I thought about it for one night. The day before I visit the store and saw that everything is 25% off. I had my eyes on two items in the basic collection. Most of the time those won't be on sale 'cause they are nicely priced but with the promotion they had, it just cost even less.So yesterday I pulled some family with me to see which one is better. Yes, I found two items and I just bought one of them. I tried them on and I decided to keep one.

And as a good minimalist does I need to find two items in my closet that I am going to donate. There is a knitted overall that just have been washed that is going to donation but that leaves another piece of clothing I have to get rid off. I thought about T-shirts but they are already in storage, it's a hassle to get them out. So I need to decide on what kinda clothing I am going to let go.

I really feel bad that I haven't found anything yet. There is already a coat that I put in the donation bag but that doesn't count. I am thinking of an old pants that I don't really wear accept at home or my ten year old shirt from a clothes company that doesn't exist anymore. I think the downside of having to remove things when I just had with the seasonal changes it's a bit difficult. Especially when I did donate summer clothing when performing the seasonal change in my closet.

So looking at my winter items, I just bought a new pair of gloves. So, I think I am going to donate my flimsy touchscreen gloves. Cause it's small and worn out. Wait a minute did I purchased a new item. I need to get rid of not two items but four. Know you understand why I feel bad. I still have to find two items to get rid of instead of one.

And I bought new insoles which means another thing that I have to trow away. And in one package there is two pairs so two things I have to find. So basically, this is the downside of being a minimalist. It really sounds great when I heard the rule: one in, two out. But it can also be a burden. Luckily I am replacing items which means for every new item, I have to find one other item to toss, except for the insoles.

So now you know this too:

With minimalism there are a lot of positive point but also negative!
