During the month of October + in celebration of Slow-Fashion October, I am keeping track of what I wear...in search of contentedness.

Appreciation highlight :: made in the USA clogs. These No6 clogs were on my wishlist for years...a lot of years. They are not cheap. One of the things I love about having a small, simple wardrobe is that I don't need much + I know it. When less is in play + fair feels essential, a purchase like this just might enter the realm of possibility. I put money toward these by selling some of my non-essential pieces last year. 

These clogs are my go-to in this type of weather. I like to go sockless as much as possible, so slipping these on at the door is easy. They are SO much more comfortable than any other clogs that I've ever tried. The craftsmanship is superb, + it is evident in how they feel on. I like how they make every outfit, no matter how ordinary, look a bit more put together.

​Dressing with less, learned :: I love October for getting dressed. I get to put my pieces together in ways that I don't usually get to wear them. Layers come in to play a bit more. Even repeat wearings of the same pieces seem new every time, since they can be mixed with most of the other pieces.

​Twenty-nine everyday, year round pieces, including footwear. Contentedness is still going strong. I have enough.

Love,
Jane

I so love this series on contentedness. I try to focus on the same sense of "enough" and the joy of being creative with a small wardrobe, and your peeks & insights are inspiring. If you ever need another pair of No.6 clogs and find yourself in MN, stop by the Sven Clogs outlet!

Thank you for following along!! I have enjoyed your challenges to style the same item in a number of different ways. Those little creative jolts can be so helpful in keeping my mind focused on gratitude + enough. I considered Sven clogs too. I will definitely put that (an outlet!) on my MN list!! :)

I had not heard of No6 clogs before. I dug around their website, and their clogs remind me of what all the "cool kids" wore back in the 70s. Very fun look!
