I love this Maria! When I think of romanticizing my life I conjure ideas of enjoying all the parts of our life without hoping it looked different. We imagine (romanticize) vacations (as an example) as being a certain way and then can feel disappointed when they don’t live up. BUT the vacation was still great, we just set too high of expectations.
Since I think about a ton through the lens of clothes, I think we should all start romanticizing our closets too. Rather than hoping to buy more new things, we can practice loving/appreciating what we have now.
Agree with you on both. I actually thought about including something similar about our closets, but it got way too long! It reminds me of your newsletter where you talked about merchandising our closets... loved that idea and I think it's one way people can romanticize pieces they already have.
Some days it’s the only the little things that get me by. Really resonate with not saving the good clothes for an occasion - i was always guilty of that and then finally got over myself and wore what I wanted wherever, it was liberating.

It really is! So glad it resonated with you x
+1 to the idea of not saving our "good clothes" but wearing them!
