I have the whole day to myself today as everyone else in the household has plans. How decadent! After enjoying a leisurely coffee and a piece of cheesecake for breakfast (cake can be breakfast can't it?) I decided to tackle my closet.
It has turned into fall here (my favourite time of year by far) so took all my summery clothes out of the closet, off the shelves and out of my dresser to store in the downstairs cedar closet that's reserved for out of season clothing. Really summery shoes/sandals have also been put away.
Then I brought up all the fall/winter clothing and footwear to put into my bedroom closet. I am absolutely THRILLED with my fall wardrobe. I not only have my new NAS finds to look forward to wearing, but also many pieces from last year that I enjoy. While hanging up my things I discovered new combinations that can be made with the new and old items together. I also was pleased as punch to discover that my pants from last year fit again now that my new meds seem to be working.
I have more clothes than I thought and truly do not need to add anything to my fall wardrobe. Based on that I'm adopting a "one-in-one-out" rule for the remainder of fall/winter. I have no more room physically in my closet so for something new to come in, I must purge something else.
I did put together a huge pile of stuff to go off to the second hand shop as I decided to be much more discerning about what got put back into the closet. Some of the items I hadn't had that long but no longer cared for or worked with my current wardrobe/style any longer. This felt really good.
I love YLF because all of you and Angie in particular helped me get to this point. Helped me define my Retro Classic style, figure out what flatters my body, and assisted me in putting together a cohesive and fun wardrobe. I truly THANK YOU ALL for this!
