A study in Minimalism

I dedicate this entire blog post to my love of the minimalism trend. I didn't realize how passionate I was about it until I sat down to write the post. I have re-written this about three times now, and I kept feeling like I was giving off a crazy rant vibe...and I probably was (and will) but maybe if I try to explain myself you will understand why I feel so passionately. First of all, I like the look of it. Does that go without saying? I wasn't sure, but I thought I'd get that out of the way to start. Second, and far less shallowly, I love the versatility of the pieces this trend is adding to my wardrobe. Not only is it easy to match up all the pieces like in the look below, but each individual piece could play a center part in a completely different look (or 2 or 3). They each can be dressed up or down - the possibilities are endless! That versatility adds fun AND value to a wardrobe, and who doesn't want that?! Well, if you made it this far along in my impassioned ramblings about minimalism...thank you for reading!! Haha.

    1. Thanks for the sunglasses love friend! I really love the shape of these ones - they're really fun, but my husband isn't such a big fan, haha. So it's nice to get the opinion of another trusted fashionista :) :) I also, never pegged myself for a minimalist, but I am just finding so many different ways to combine all my existing pieces and it's a lot of fun to mix and match.
