Buy less, choose well, make it last

“Clinging requires more energy than letting go.” – The Minimalists
On buying
Choose well
Keep count
Only own one
Make it last
Research
Nothing without style
Alteration over new
Buy one, leave one
Invest ≠ spend
Like it ≠ own it
Buying = luxury
Consistency = harmony
Sustainability = choosing not to buy
Don't like it, don't buy it
