TAKE THIS MOMENT TO PAUSE ⏯ . . Taking time to pause allows us to reset, re-align, and restore. It’s the most important gift we can give ourselves. 💛 . . Happy Monday everyone! #pleblife

It’s Spring here in LA! 🌞 . . For the last couple of months, I’ve been hemming and hawing over letting some repeats in my wardrobe go, particularly my 3 black jumpsuits, 4 grey cardigans, and my 9 black dresses, because who needs so many of such similar items? I felt such an immense pressure to get my number of 67 items down in the 50s that I’ve been so close to letting items go that I love even if I don’t wear them as often as I could. Slowly but surely, what I am letting go of is the idea that minimalism is about low numbers and about perfect curation. . . Rather, it’s more about joy—purposeful joy. It’s about consciously choosing to own things and to keep things that bring you joy in your life. And if having 3 black jumpsuits, 4 grey cardigans, and 9 black dresses brings me a whole lot of joy then so be it! ✌🏻Besides if you put off going to the laundromat for as long as we do, you’re gonna need some repeats! 😂 . . It’s jumpsuit season so get ready to see a whole lot of outfits just like this one! 👍🏻 #pleblife

“I hope you know it’s okay if your strength looks a little different this season.” — @morganharpernichols ✨ . . With Winter coming to a close in the next few days, I’m really looking forward to the coming of spring—metaphorically and literally. This Winter hasn’t been the easiest. Self Doubt has settled quite comfortable here with me, and it brought its friends Imposter Syndrome and Confusion. My strength this past season may have looked a lot like resting, but it took all my strength this season to just get through each day, and to wake up the next day to do it all over again. I’ve realized that through all of this, strength is not really all about having it together all the time or how much you can handle at once; but rather, it is more about what I’m willing to let go and put down so I can carry the things that I want to for longer and stronger. . . So with the coming of Spring, I’m hoping to let go of this fear that I don’t belong—that I don’t belong here on Instagram or in the ethical and minimalist fashion communities; and the fear that I’m not enough—that I’m not ethical or sustainable or minimal enough. I’m hoping to put these fears down so that I can focus on carrying what matters to me. . . What are you needing to let go of as we move into Spring? 🌱 #pleblife

“I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness — it’s right in front of me if I’m paying attention and practicing gratitude.” — @brenebrown 💛 . . Every hour is happy hour with you. #pleblife

“every night her thoughts weighed heavily on her soul but every morning she would get up to fight another day, every night she survived.” — @r.h.sin ✨ . . You will survive today and everyday after today because you are strong. 💪🏻 #pleblife
