Bags.

What's your relationship with bags?


If you've been reading this Capsule Wardrobe series, you might have an idea that this article will talk about how to downsize bags. 

Before I go into the details, I want to express my understanding for all kinds of needs:

- You have have too many bags in your small space, and want to downsize 

- You have a decent amount of space, and have accumulated a lot of bags over many years, and need help with identifying which to let go and what to keep

- You paid a lot of money for the bags and feel that it's difficult to part with them

- You have a lot of bags, don't mind letting go, but need help to see which ones to keep

- You have too many bags, they're your weakness, and you don't plan to let go, but want to read about the process for fun


There are lots of perspectives when it comes to bags, and everyone is right about what they own based on their lifestyles


If you've stopped by to learn about the downsizing process, that's a very courageous move, and if you're not ready, maybe you can apply the tip later on, or on other aspects of your life.



Unlike the clothes/shoes posts (links below), unfortunately I didn't take a before picture of my bags (used to have about a dozen), so I'll only be showing you what I currently have based on my lifestyle.

Downsizing tops

Downsizing pants/trousers

Downsizing shoes 


My bags (as of 2021)

Link to vegan leather backpacks 

My office work bag, made out of vegan leather. A very stylish finding I made. 

The backpack style is convenient because it keeps my hands free when I walk to train station, carry a cup of coffee or another bag if needed.

The camel color goes well with any of my outfits.


Link to beige backpacks

Diaper bag (a bag to hold baby/kids stuff) - I carry essentials for my 6 & 2 yr old when we go out.

(This is a regular women's backpack, but I intentionally chose this style as my version of diaper bag)

I didn't want to go for an ordinary diaper bag because they're usually bulkier and I find having too many pockets is actually more work (experience from my older kid), so I to select a simple backpack, with just enough pockets to separate the essentials.

The color is also chosen to go with my simple outfits.



Link to camel tote bags

Tote bag - for misc formal/casual occasions. Love the simplicity of it.
You guessed it, it's camel color so it goes well with my outfits.



Link to compact crossbody bags

Last but not least, my compact crossbody bag for everyday errands, super convenient when my pants/top have no pockets to hold little things like keys / wallet / phone.


I selectively have a unified set of colors and textures, as they seem to always go well with my outfits.

So these are all the bags I currently have, in use, nothing is extra.

Stay tuned for more inspirations!

 Homemaking Tips 🌷 9: Decumulate (part 2) Homemaking Tips 🌷 Home °　˖　✧　✧　˖　°　°　˖　✧　✧　˖　° Blog Home 🌷 Wardrobe ✧ Homemaking ✧ Body In the previous post,  Homemaking 🌷 8: Decumulate (part 1) , I mentioned that decumulation should be done on a routine basis, to avoid inadvertently increase the frustration and anxiety on ourselves.  What do we do when it comes to items of sentimental values, that we have stronger attachments with? It gets harder, but there are times it's still better to let g than to hold on, because you may be blinded by these particular items, while there are new opportunities waiting for you. We only have so much time and energy, so if we let sentimental value stop our clock from being able to move onto the next stage in life, then it may actually be an obstacle, rather than a treasure.  The longer we dwell on debating whether or not to let go of something, the further we're away from our next opportunity. The value of these particular items...

Homemaking Tips 🌷 12: Secret to Motivation (part 1)  Homemaking Tips 🌷 Home °　˖　✧　✧　˖　°　°　˖　✧　✧　˖　° Blog Home 🌷 Wardrobe ✧ Homemaking ✧ Body There's nothing as powerful, AND, frail, as our willpower. We rely heavily on such a thing as motivation whenever we face a new task. Wouldn't it be great of we knew what kind of food or beverage converts well as motivational energy, so we won't have to wait for it to occur and lead the way? What exactly is motivation, and why is it so hard to find it from within, when it comes to homemaking, organizing, or cleaning?  Let us take things from a different perspective - - -  Do we need motivation, when we: Get up in the morning and open up the curtains? Brush our teeth? Change our clothes? Make our morning beverage? I believe the answer is no for most/all of the above. Why is that? The answer is simply because we've built all these habits as daily routines, since childhood, and we no longer need to seek advice or guidance, to do t...
