| Too much stuff! |
No, that pile of stuff above is not from this weekend. It's a batch of ill-fitting and not flattering clothing (with some scattered books) that I plan to get rid of.
Which is ultimately why nothing is the best thing I could have gotten this weekend. Not because I'm trying to de-clutter or spend less, though those are both lovely things.
I'm happy I got nothing because none of it fit and, and, and I tried it on. After more than three years of baffling my dear boyfriend by bringing home clothes that don't fit, I've actually made a consistent commitment to trying things on.
This is not a perfect system. I can still find things that just don't look good once I get them home or that don't look good with anything I own. But it's a good start.

That takes willpower :) I don't like trying on stuff either, but it's necessary if you don't want to waste that $5 and just take the damn thing right back to the thrift store...
ReplyDeleteRight! And while I like to donate to the thrift stores around me, I don't like to do it for no bloody reason.
