I've been dressing with these 29 pieces this month and have found them to be enough.
As it stands, I know that I could let a long-sleeved shirt or two go. I don't wear button down shirts very often, but I just really like the two I have. I don't know that I need two sweatshirts, but colder weather is on the way and I want to see how that goes. Things may morph + change with time, but I feel like this is a comfortable number of pieces to draw from year round. It has taken me a long time to get to this point, but it feels good.
I feel the desire to say that this is not a prescription. This is not a boast, because there is no race to the smallest wardrobe (+ I would clearly not even be in the running for that race). :) This is simply what I think will work best for me + my present life. I took note of a few other people's (smaller) wardrobes + felt like they made it seem doable. I feel best with a small number of pieces + notice uneasiness with too much. I thought I'd share the process + the present situation, in case anyone likes following along. :)
Love,
Jane
