Not buy anymore clothes until we move

I have been a minimalist the last 6 years or so. When I go through my wardrobe I notice I have a lot more clothes than I use and need. I may have less than "normal" people, but for me I have way too much. The reason is that I sometimes felt I wanted to look more mature and professional. I told myself that if I want to become successful, I have to look successful. But if I want to become rich, I can't spend a lot of unnecessary money on luxuries like clothes I don't really need. I came to the realisation that when I live in the Philippines, my daily outfit will be comfortable shorts, T-shirt and flip flops. Just like I wear now in Sweden this hot and wonderful summer.

So everything we buy for the next few years that we will not be bringing with us to Philippines or can sell before we move, is a waste of money.

I will therefor try to not buy any more clothes than the absolutely necessary, such as change out used and broken shoes and underwear. If I really need to buy clothes I will for the first time in my life buy it second-hand or buy it when we are visiting the Philippines. This should put the annual clothing account to nearly zero.
