Fashion sense

I’m not French and I don’t claim to be, but I love the effortless style of French fashion. A few years ago I sought the secret to dressing with flawless simplicity. I’m happy to say I found it and it works every time.

If I want to look effortless, chic, or even classy, I get dressed as I normally would and then I take one thing off.

Yes, that’s right. I remove one item. It seems to be the American way to over-up and overdo everything, including fashion.

I am weighed down by my need to don every cute and sassy fashion item every time I dress: sweater, scarf, vest, leggings, boots, high socks, earrings, watch, hat, oversized glasses, bag, coat.

It’s too much.

And so I simplify. I simplify and simplify. I may even simplify, simplify, simplify. I take off one thing — or three — and achieve my desired look, one that is chic and effortless.

Take it off

I think of this often when I’m writing and editing articles.

Applying this fashion sense to my publishing sense is my new favorite thing. If I can’t find a good place for a paragraph, I lose it.

Each time I edit, I look for at least one place where I can remove content.

Whether it’s a paragraph, a sentence, a grouping of words, or a single word, I am finding joy and satisfaction in taking one-off. It’s kind of like decluttering for writers.

This thoughtful removal of content leaves me feeling fresher when I’m reading and also affords me a Medium gold star: an article with a shorter read time.
