Shoutout to my closet clean-out that left me shivering
I was so into decluttering that I donated all my sweaters last spring... figured I could just layer up in winter. But when the cold hit, I saw I had nothing warm enough. Ended up buying a new coat, which feels like a waste now. I guess minimalism isn't about suffering in the cold...

Oh man, I read an article about that exact thing recently.

Was it that one about the "minimalism regret" trend? I totally did that with a heavy coat last year and had to replace it by November.

Have you seen how many people regret giving away practical things after a big clean-out? I keep hearing about folks who donate winter clothes or kitchen gear to follow minimalism, then end up buying them again. It's like we focus on the idea of less stuff without thinking about what we actually use. What's a better way to balance wanting a tidy home with keeping what we need?
