As well as getting my financial house in order I also want to start 2010 getting my literal house in order, namely my wardrobe.
The other day, as once again clothes tumbled out of the bottom, stopping the doors from closing, I realised that aside from a couple of jumpers I rarely wear, I couldn’t actually remember what was down there. Which meant clearly I would never miss the stuff if I got rid of it. So I’ve finally tackled the pile, sorting out what to take to the local clothing recycling bin and what to attempt to list on eBay (although those things too might end up in the bin to get them out of my way).
A few of the things I had snatched back the last time I had a clear-out, and they’d been sitting there in the bottom of the wardrobe untouched ever since.
There’s still a handful of other items I really should part with because I need the space, but I’m not quite ready to let them go. Baby steps.
What I also need to do is come up with some new outfit combinations to refresh my look as something of a consolation for not hitting the sales. I’ve been meaning to join StyleDiary for ages. Maybe something to think about for the new year.
*One of the signs I watched way too much Rachel Zoe Project over the holidays — I’ve started thinking in terms of “options”, “editing” and “pulling” clothes… Another sign — my desperate desire to go shopping for a vintage fur coat
