Hatmaker's writing was humorous and she seems sincere.

She also lives in a warm climate so generally layering wasn't needed. And, if I recall she wore things a few times before washing (which I'm okay with, I really see no need to wash pants and shirts with every wearing if you didn't get it dirty/sweaty). But even so there was a lot of washing and some wearing of wet laundry. Simple doesn't always mean easy but, yeah, I really didn't get it either.min hushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09460666548836420815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144616579963110201.post-36112235262070688342012-12-30T14:21:13.474-08:002012-12-30T14:21:13.474-08:00Seven items of clothing?

So is one supposed to wash that everyday or just wear dirty clothes for the month? How is that simplifying ones life? I was reading some of the minamillism blogs but was turned off by the fact that they are all selling ebooks on the subject.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144616579963110201.post-26581941938725397172012-12-29T23:39:21.398-08:002012-12-29T23:39:21.398-08:00I am SOOOO with you on the gimmicks - it's rea...I am SOOOO with you on the gimmicks - it's really a turn off for me. Not sure why, but I guess I feel like it trivializes the entire concept of voluntary simplicity. Sorta like "Hey, let's take a movement that's meant to be about connecting with our own humanity, and turn it into a form over substance game, just like all the other crap in society that we're supposedly rejecting!" Anyhow, thanks for the warning on this one! :-)EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.com
