A thought from Rose

The thirty-piece wardrobe

A three-month experiment with fewer clothes — and more clarity about what I like.

I picked thirty pieces and put the rest in a box. The rule was simple: three months wearing only those.

Less choice, more style

I barely missed anything. And I found that the pieces I wore most weren’t the most expensive — they were the ones I felt comfortable in.

“Having fewer options is sometimes what shows us who we are.”
