Too much stuff is bad. But "too much" is not the same of "a lot." To me, there are some circumstances or occassions that call for abundance. Indulgence. Excess. Aren't those words just sexy?! Never forget that Mae West said "Too much of a good thing can be wonderful." 

The key is you can't be a maximalist in every area of your life and home. Do you need an ankle boot obsession AND a sneaker collection AND an assortment of espadrilles? Do you need your Funko Pop collection to have every single figurine ever created, even if it's a character from a show you don't even watch? Do you really need to print every one of the 1,233,857 photos you've taken of your toddler? 

As Oscar Wild said, "Everything in moderation, including moderation." How I interpret that - get rid of your excess junk, unless you really, really, really love it. Be a minimalist with your bath towels. You only need like two! We're gonna donate the other 47 towels to the local animal shelter. But be a maximalist when it comes to your collection of colorful vintage goblets. BUY MORE! Display them prominently, even in weird places! Let's head to Goodwill right now and start looking for the emerald green chalice of your dreams! 

I believe that this balance gives you the joy of excess without the stress of surplus. Keep the stuff that really blows your skirt up and then be ruthless to everything else.
