Izzy Churchill lived out of a carry-on suitcase during a stint in Australia - and it changed the way she thinks about clothes.
Up until a year ago, I would have considered myself a maximalist with an overflowing wardrobe. So after a spontaneous decision to move to Sydney, Australia, for six months, my biggest fear, naturally, wasn't settling into living in a new city, it was deciding which clothes to pack into my carry-on suitcase.
After several failed attempts at closing the zip to my suitcase, each time mourning the loss of yet another piece, I finally managed to whittle down the essence of my wardrobe into a surprisingly coherent capsule wardrobe. I found that a distinct formula had emerged, consisting mainly of, wide-leg lightweight trousers and fitted yet comfortable tops - I was ready to face the Australian summer.
As a self-confessed second-hand addict, I was soon enticed by the wonders of op-shops, Australia's version of charity shops. Yet, wary of my acute lack of luggage space, any new purchases would mean discarding an item of clothing that I had recently deemed worthy enough to take with me across the world. I couldn’t bear the thought of it so along with wearing the same few outfits in different iterations for six months, I also embarked on ceasing my hyper-consumption of fashion.
