I have more clothes going to Goodwill than in my closet
I got a wild hair this morning to clear out my closet (well okay, its been something I’ve been meaning to do for awhile, as I’m moving in August) and now most of my wardrobe is in white trash bags, including the following:
- a black cocktail dress I bought for a wedding two years ago and never wore again
- t-shirts I’ve had since college and haven’t worn since about then
- my first pair of Doc Marten boots, bought in London when I was 19
- five pairs of shorts that I was saving until I lost weight again
- a really cute pair of black pointy-toed flats that have no sole left and are so stretched out that they slap against my heels when I walk
- almost my entire collection of purses, with the exception of a slate blue sequined bag shaped like a leaf that I bought in Chinatown, a red patent clutch I got last year from Ann Taylor Loft, a black suede purse embroidered with flowers, and small messenger with a bird printed on it
My actual wardrobe is now limited to two pairs of trousers (one black, one ivory), two pairs of jeans, two dresses (one black, one purple), a bunch of skirts, a few suits, a few jersey tops, a handful of sweaters, and some t-shirts.
Oh, and about a dozen pair of shoes.
At least it’ll be easy to pack in August?
