wardrobe science
Today we're talking about returns. And boobs. I'm surprised that returns don't get talked about more often in slow fashion spaces. The carbon footprint associated with making a return is significant, and yet people are returning their purchases more than ever. Obviously, the convenience of online shopping and the success of online-only clothing retailers plays [...]
In the last few weeks, my outfits have fallen into a lazy summer rhythm. I tend toward the same colors, shapes, and textures each day, and getting dressed is uneventful. It's been good to lean on that at a time when my day job is busier than ever. My wardrobe is pretty much dialed in, [...]
When I first got into minimalist fashion, back before I was blogging my feelings about it on a semi-weekly basis, I tried an experiment. I picked out the plainest, most innocuous black dress in my closet and committed to wearing it for a full week. It was a fun little project, and it taught me [...]
Hey friends! I've been offline for a while, but today I'm back with a good old-fashioned Everlane review. This month, I got the opportunity to try out the new Short-Sleeve Crew Bodysuit, which I was grateful for because my old black short-sleeve tee (purchased at H&M a lifetime ago) finally gave up the ghost.

The Minimalist Wardrobe is no longer publishing blog articles and has removed its prior blog content from its site, so I will be posting all my previous TMW contributions on Goblin Shark over the coming weeks. I like to call myself a wardrobe [...]
This dress is new. To me. I once saw it in a store window in Loft, fell in love, and since then I've been thinking about it, kicking myself for not buying it when I had the chance. Last week, I decided on a whim to go searching for it on Poshmark, and there it [...]
Each summer for the last two years, I've been saying that I plan to replace my little leather sandals. And yet, somehow, I never do. I bought my black and brown leather slides at Loft in what feels like my former life, a time when it was a regular habit of mine to stop into [...]
Jumpsuits have never held that much allure for me, even as they've continued to rise in popularity over the last several years. As a petite woman with curves, I just assume that the waist will be too low, the hips will be too tight, and the hem will be too long. Jumpsuits, in my mind, [...]
I'm doing something I never thought I'd do: wearing color. Like, a lot of color. Maybe it's the Spring weather, or maybe it's my own slowly growing confidence in my ability to style an outfit, but over the past several weeks I've been gravitating towards whimsical pieces and leaving my favorite black & white staples [...]
