Recently, I made the decision that it was time to become the digital nomad I’ve been wanting to become and talking about becoming for the past 6 years. I had planned on waiting at least another year, but life has a way of giving you what you’ve asked for in the most unplanned ways!

I had just two criteria:

1: I did not want to put anything into storage, or have boxes of stuff stored with family.

2: I wanted to be able to carry everything I own by myself.

Now, I had already shed a lot of stuff in my last move just three months ago, but as it turns out, there was still a LOT to cull!

My wardrobe alone (which I’d previously thought lean) needed to be ruthlessly culled!

Here’s what I ended up with.

5 x pairs low rise white socks (might keep 3)

7 x pairs sports socks (Why??)(might keep 3)

4 x pairs boot socks (2 pair is sufficient)

2 x pairs knee Hi stockings (probably kept these to go with the boots!)(Going)

3 x pairs of lace top stay ups (God knows why i thought it necessary to keep these!)(These are going….if i ever really, really need a pair, i’ll simple buy them!)

1 x pair black tights

1 x pair sheer black stockings (Going)

1 x Brown leather jacket

1 x Black leather jacket (will probably ditch this one)

1 x Red jacket (this will likely go)

1 x Navy blazer

1 x Black Trench coat (Do i need this?? Probably not)

1 x long (boot length) Navy cardigan

1 x mid thigh Taupe cardigan

1 x Black short cardigan — works with several dresses, for business meetings etc

3 x pairs workout tights

4 x workout tank tops

1 x long sleeve hoodie

1 x yoga sports bra

12 x dresses (I’d like to have half this many)

6 x Long sleeve blouses (hmmmm, seems excessive)

6 x T shirts

2 x long sleeve polo tops

5 x Short Sleeve blouses (again, seems excessive)

2 x Jeans

3 x pants (casual)

1 x Swimmers

3 x Skirts

1 x Black woollen scarf

3 x coloured scarves (might ditch these)

1 x Swim cover up (not sure i need this!)

20 x Knickers (probably will halve these!)

3 x Sports Bra’s

15 Bra’s (surely i don’t need this many!)

2 x Canvas sneakers (will ditch one of these)

1 x Joggers

1 x Thongs

1 x High Heel sandals

1 x Flat sandals

2 x Pairs boots (black and tan)

1 x Black dress heels

1 x Cap

1 x Hat (considering ditching this as it’s hard to carry)

That’s it. My entire wardrobe.

But i already know i’m going to cull more.
