You only need 10 pieces of clothing in your life - "Refreshing"
Xiao Ai was recently dating her boyfriend. She looked at her full wardrobe but couldn't find any suitable clothes, so she bought another pink dress.
After returning from the Michelin restaurant, the male idol wanted to sit upstairs, but Xiao Ai thought of her room with nowhere to stay and quickly refused.
After rejecting her boyfriend many times, she decided to tidy up her home.
But there is nowhere to start, whether it is piles of clothes or messy books, people have no clue.
One day, the doorbell rang, and Xiao Ai opened the door with an unkempt appearance. He didn't see the delivery boy, but he saw a gentle man carrying a cream cake.
She panicked and kicked the takeout box at her feet.
"Ah!" She watched the male god open the door with concern, and then she was so surprised that the cake fell and the soup splashed on the male god's white pants.
Love dies in takeout.
What's worse is that after Xiao Ai lost his love, he also lost his job.
Her desk was cluttered and she brought the wrong information to negotiations, causing the company to lose millions in projects.
In order to relax, Xiao Ai decided to go on a trip and think about her life.
But when she arrived at the airport, she didn't bring her passport. She turned back again and missed the plane. She couldn't get her hotel room back and lost a month's salary.
She threw away her phone and sat on the floor crying.
Then she saw a book in which the girl in the blue skirt was chic and confident: Women only need ten pieces of clothing!
She couldn't help but turn it over and read page after page.
The girl in the blue dress draws her experience from a hoarder to a minimalist in a simple and easy-to-read way.
After reading this book, Xiao Ai finally realized that his problem lay in his lack of minimalist thinking.
What minimalist thinking?
——Less is more, which means that we spend our limited money and time on a small number of items and things, and throw away unimportant things.
So she spent three days throwing away all the clothes, bags, shoes, books, and sundries that were not often worn at home, and spent another three days storing the remaining things, giving the whole home a brand new look.
In the morning, she prepared porridge, eggs and fruit salad for herself, took beautiful pictures and posted them on Douban.
Since then, a beautiful picture of breakfast every day represents her insistence on refinement.
Soon, Xiao Ai found a new job as me in a gourmet self-media company.
Her Douban fans slowly grew, and she decided to open her own public account to share her wonderful mornings.
Now, she is a food writer, bathing in a minimalist life every day and pursuing exquisite items.
Everyone can have such an experience, as long as you understand minimalist thinking and then do it.
The book "Refreshing" was written by a little girl who pursues minimalism. After experiencing the era of chaotic hoarding, she decided to build her own minimalist wardrobe using her favorite clothes.
After she had fewer clothes, she found that it felt really good to know clearly what she had and where it was.
So, she drew her own process of practicing minimalism, hoping to help more people escape from their chaotic lives.
The book also describes basic clothes, shoes, bags and the process and reasons why she chose them. It is super cute and practical.
I looked at my belongings the way she did, discarded some clothes and clutter, and the closet and desktop were indeed much cleaner.
The most important thing is: based on her suggestions, I established the screening criteria, kept the items that are excellent and suitable for me, and no longer worried about the accumulation of items.
This book is a picture book that can not only guide adults, but also serve as a children's book.
You can make it yourself, or you can teach your children how to do it.
If minimalist thinking is implanted early, children will be happier.
Suggestions from "Refreshing": 1. Uniform private servers: Understand your own dressing needs through constant organization and thinking, fix daily items, and just repurchase them when they are worn out.
2. Determine the dressing needs according to the occasion: We have a lot of clothes, but we can’t find suitable clothes when participating in activities. This is because clothing needs to consider the weather, purpose, and the person to meet.
The solution is to match your outfits for specific occasions in advance.
So what are the occasions?
Generally, it includes four occasions: travel, work/school, home, and shopping. Each occasion is divided into four seasons throughout the year.
After determining the suit according to each occasion, you will have standards for each purchase.
3. Step one: discard.
Cleaning clothes should be done step by step: first put those clothes that you are not sure about in the box, and take them back as soon as you need them. If you still haven’t taken out the clothes after the season of use, then clean them up.
4. The secret to staying tidy is: tidy up regularly!
Speaking of this book, I want to feed you some chicken soup again.
I really liked the introduction and review of this book, but I never waited for the review event.
Then, I sent a message to two book reviewers to ask where I could make an appointment to review this book.
