Old Stuff

There are surely some items in your closet that you’ve had a long time and really enjoy wearing.  This skirt is like that for me!  This lavender, gray and white plaid skirt is over 10 years old!  Every spring it’s one of the first things I wear with a cotton sweater.  I’m sure it has been washed a bazillion times!  The plaid is timeless.  The color fun.  It’s just a great skirt all around!  I enjoy wearing it.  That’s the whole point, after covering and protecting your body from the elements-your clothes should be fun to wear and comfortable!  Think about that next time you’re at the store in the dressing room.  Are you comfortable and is it fun?

Keep a shopping bag in your closet and if you try on something that’s too big/small/wrong color/bad style for you immediately put it in the bag to be donated, given away, thrifted or consigned.  After a couple of weeks of this you’ll have pared down your wardrobe considerably an then the potential of what you do have that you like will be easier to restyle.  Too much stuff just muddles your mind and makes you loose your creativity.

Keep your mind clear to focus on what really matters in life!
