It's More Than Just Clothes

For me, the $100 Wardrobe Challenge is a lesson in mindfulness. It's a touchpoint, a way for me to stay connected to what I need versus what I might want--the impulse to acquire is often intended to assuage boredom or other human afflictions that keep us from living the true expression of ourselves. Yes, lofty and philosophic, I know, but this is about more than clothes. It's about understanding the face, the mask, we don as we move through the world in an attempt to show people who we are or want to be. It's about letting go of the clutter, the extraneous stuff that keeps us in a place of managing our crap, rather than living with enough so we can get out in the world, build relationships, and have amazing experiences. After all, relationships and experiences are what make us human, not madras plaid shirts and skinny jeans.
