I threaten to do it, then I put it off, then.....yeah.
But finally I got in, got down and got dirty and decided to do a real closet clean out
and see what was in there!
What finally prompted me to invade, divide and conquer?
Kaja, my 9 year old, and my photographer, popped up with this comment the other day:
(She was taking my picture for the blog and I asked about my outfit),
"Well Mom, to be honest, it's like all the other days. Very nice, usually blue and totally predictable."
PREDICTABLE?!!?!!!
I am 47 and that is the very word I did NOT want to hear.
And off to the closet I went.
 |
| Well, lets see...both green, one from ATL and one from Ann Taylor.....both could have been worn by Julie Andrews in "The Sound of Music" I am starting to see what you mean Kaja |
 |
| I do love black and white skirts...but one has sequins, one has pompoms at the bottom and one has tulle and one..... r i g h t.....oh my. |
 |
| These are like the exact same skirt except one is Banana Republic and one Ann Taylor Sigh....I keep buying the same dang stuff! |
 |
| Shades of gray much? Geez Lise! |
 |
| I liked this best. Bought at 3 different times, 3 different places BUT...the same ATL sweater...just different colors. Oh my. The black one still had the TAGS on it!!! Seriously? Yes. |
 |
| Onward and upward! The real problem is that sometimes we get into a bit of a rut. I learned quickly that I love neutrals and do not own one RED piece of clothing. I do however own a mass amount of black, white, blues and CORAL (my fav!) And that's about it. All nicely tailored pieces and predictable. This is not necessarily bad, but I do not want to be HO HUM! I finished the job and purged my closet! I donated a lot, took a bunch over to "Sassy Pants" consignment, and turned over a new leaf. I now know what is in my closet now so I don't waste $$ on duplication. I have a list of a few items that would add a pop of color and fun to my wardrobe (ie: red stuff, or something). And the biggest thing is remembering how I got here. By not listening to friends when they said "You don't need another one of those." LOL |
 |
| Yes, this is me. I'm cute, but I just don't listen! I can't wait to start showing some of my re-worked wardrobe. If you need an idea for a weekend project......Tackle your closets!!! Go girls! |
