Somewhere between exiting corporate life, having babies and fluctuating body sizes between pre/ post babies and feedings, my closet got bigger, but not necessarily better.
We have been moving house and one of my vows was to clean it out and not take all of it with me.
Serendipity stepped in and I met a lovely lady at one of my favorite shops who consults wardrobes as a living! She came over and made me get seriously real and cull my wardrobe. I had to try everything on and the judgement was firm, but very fair.
The three bags are full of suits I used to wear that are very out of fashion, clothes I was just hanging onto, and some really bad choice I am blaming on lack of sleep post kids.
The net result is a much, much smaller wardrobe that is more reflective of my lifestyle. I can find things a lot faster and feel liberated. Part of my birthday / mother’s day is now going shopping to add some things that have been highlighted as missing in the closet.
Here is to losing a lot of dead weight. Feeling lighter and better for it!
That sounds fantastic – I am a fashion tragic and would love someone to come and over and sort out my crubbish.
Wow you sure did clean out that wardrobe of yours… The old suits might be good to make pants out of for Ryce… Have fun with the move… Does this mean you sold your house???
