Do you ever stare at your closet and think you have nothing to wear even though your closet is actually busting at the seems with clothes? Yay, that’s me every time I have to wear something other than athleisure. While Emerson napped on Sunday I mixed things up. You guessed it, I cleaned out my closet and I mean I REALLY cleaned out my closet. I managed to thin it down by at least 50%. Yes, 50%! <\/p>\n

If only my closet now looked like this….<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
via<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

It wasn’t easy, but if it wasn’t worn in it the last year – gone! It’s amazing how clothes on my bed started to pile up. It actually feels good to look at my closet knowing it’s full of pieces I will and do actually wear. I should note living in Tahoe means I need a wardrobe suitable for various weather temps, etc.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nSo what does it mean moving forward? The plan is to be more mindful of clothing purchases. Do I really love it? If so buy it. Do I really need it? Is it practical? Since I work for home I only need a handful of outfits to wear to client meeting, etc. Honestly, I could probably rotate the same 5-7 outfits and no one would be any wiser.<\/p>\n

Practicing mindful shopping will [hopefully] help me create a wardrobe I love instead of a wardrobe I hate.<\/p>\n

DONATE, SELL, TOSS<\/b>
\nOnce I decided I was going to get rid of something it went in either the donate, sell or toss pile. So where am I selling clothes? EBAY and Poshmark<\/a> and I’ve been successful on both. The key is knowing your audience and pricing. If you’re interested in Poshmark<\/a> use code: PTGUE when signing up and receive $5 off your first purchase.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nBUY LIST<\/b>
\nI also weeded out dingy, worn old clothes which means my favorite white tee (among other things) need to be replaced. Here’s my working list…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n!function(d,s,id){var e, p = \/^http:\/.test(d.location) ? ‘http’ : ‘https’;if(!d.getElementById(id)) {e = d.createElement(s);e.id = id;e.src = p + ‘:\/\/’ + ‘widgets.rewardstyle.com’ + ‘\/js\/shopthepost.js’;d.body.appendChild(e);}if(typeof window.__stp === ‘object’) if(d.readyState === ‘complete’) {window.__stp.init();}}(document, ‘script’, ‘shopthepost-script’);<\/p>\n
