What did I learn?
It was much easier to let go of clothes…
… or store them for the next season.
I tried different
colour combinations.
I knew what to look for
at thrift stores and sales.
I didn’t need to buy
things I already had.
So what?
It’s okay to be curious
about small things.
Be curious. Explore your world through data.
