YES! exactly. But that’s also half my point: Lidl, C&A, H&M, Decathlon, waikiki, underarmour, sinsay, salomon… thats already a lot of places we need to either digitally or physically go to browse through.
If you think about it, most minimalists either
-
hate shopping and would love a one stop shop for their needs. currently you end up visiting more places because you know exactly what simple things you want, than some shopaholic who will just buy whatever is at hand wherever they randomly find themselves shopping and wear it for a while. (here the minimalist hates the way he has to spend his time)
-
are addicted to shopping and is their main struggle trying to become minimalistic - and browsing 10 shops instead of 3 like they used to - which will only make it harder for them to step away. (here the striving minimalist will hate the way they feel because they’re basically investing even more time in shopping than they used to)
Thank you. I think preachy minimalism is the #1 reason i could have, and all of us could have be put off the idea. It doesn’t have to be a religion. Just a set of preferences to focus on simpler things. That’s all it has to be.
