尋找單純的快樂
Finding simple pleasures.
– Jennifer L. Scott
當初會接觸這本書 …
通常，我對一個人的第一印象，不是他長得如何，而是他給我的氣質。很難形容氣質是什麼，但我覺得氣質可以代表一個人的經歷。而我想培養的氣質，是由內而外的從容優雅。所以當我看到副標題的時候，我就對這本書產生很大的興趣。
Why I read this book …
Usually, the first impression of a person gives me is not about his or her look. It’s about the disposition. (I don’t know whether “disposition" is right. I want to describe how to feel a person, like elegance.) Disposition is hard to tell, but I think sometime it can show the experience of a person. And I want to be elegance and confident. So when I first looked at the subtitle of this book, I was interested in it immediately.
為什麼歸類在極簡 …
這本書很多概念跟極簡很像，下面主題我會說明，最經典的部分應該是很多人討論的"十件精品衣櫥"。這部分我也還在學習中，衣服是我最想也最捨不得的極簡課題。
Why I labeled it Minimalist …
Many concepts in the book are similar with minimalism, I will show in following topics. I think the most classic and popular part of this book is “liberate yourself with the ten-item wardrobe". I am still learning in this part. For me, clothes is the most difficult and reluctant lesson of minimalism.
十件精品衣櫥 …
這其實不是說你的衣櫥只能有十件衣服，而是希望你清理不要的衣服。其實基本單品，例如：好搭配的衣服、 T-shirt、經典牛仔褲…之類的，大約十件左右，就可以撐完一個季節。另外，作者也教你如何辨別約要丟掉的衣服。
四種丟衣規則
1. 我還喜歡嗎?
2. 它還合身或修飾現在的身形嗎?
3. 我還有在穿它嗎?
4.它符合我現在的身分嗎?
Liberate yourself with the ten-item wardrobe …
It doesn’t mean that you can only have ten-item in your wardrobe literally. The author’s real meaning is to throw clothes which you no longer wear it out. In fact, if you only keep the “basic unit", like T-shirt, classic jean, clothes that match your style …etc., you may only need ten items each season. Besides, the author also teach you how to determine what kind of clothes you should throw it out.
Ask four questions to yourself
1. Do I still like it?
2. Does it match you now?
3. Do I wear it recently?
4. Does it fit my status?
拒絕新唯物主義 …
本書中有一個觀念跟極簡很像，他們都是珍惜已擁有的東西。瞭解自已的風格，就不會跟著時尚潮流跑。不只是衣服，例行購物，居家，時尚夫人都清楚自己擁有什麼，不需要一直購買。了解為什麼你會一直購物，試著每次少買一樣自己想要但不需要的東西。降低購物頻率，購物慾就會消失。多出來的時間，培養自己喜歡的事情。也許是寫你一直很想動筆的小說。也許回家一趟去看一下父母親。做自己喜歡的事情吧。
Reject the new Materialism …
One of concepts in this book is like Minimalist which they all cherish what they own. Understand your style and you won’t keep following the trend. Not only clothes, but routine shopping, living style …etc. Madame Chic knows clearly what she owns and doesn’t need to buy other things to " the icing on the cake “. Understand why you shop, and when your next shopping, try to buy less one thing that you want but don’t need. Low down the frequency you shop, your shopping desires will be disappeared. Use these saved time to develop new interests. Maybe start to write the novel that you always want to try. Maybe go home to see your parent. Do something you like.
