If only my closet now looked like this….

via

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.

So 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.

Practicing mindful shopping will [hopefully] help me create a wardrobe I love instead of a wardrobe I hate.

DONATE, SELL, TOSS
Once 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 and I’ve been successful on both. The key is knowing your audience and pricing. If you’re interested in Poshmark use code: PTGUE when signing up and receive $5 off your first purchase.

BUY LIST
I 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…

!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’);
