I'm starting to gravitate back to the idea of uniform dressing or a more minimalist closet. I have TWO closets full of clothes and shoes. TWO!! And when I look back at my favorite outfits from last year I see that really it was composed of the same couple of tops, bottoms (mostly black jeans), and the same two pairs of boots. For some reason I talk myself into keeping all the clothes I have because they hold the promise of future outfits that never happen. I've also been in the very bad habit of holding onto things for possible test shoots. It all seems rather wasteful to me. When I think of all the dollars spent on things that spend most of their stay with me hanging in the closet with tags still attached. Mind blown.
Challenge:
I'm going to spend a couple of hours this weekend trying to talk myself out of various clothing that has taken up residence in my closet. Wouldn't it be amazing to walk into my closet and only see what I actually wear?

I have 4 closets (and a dresser for stuff that can be folded). And yet, I wear the same things every week..
1 - Stuff I wear daily
2 - Off-Season Clothing
3 - Dresses and Coats
4 - Skirts and shoes
Plus there are crates and crates in the garage of stuff I put out there almost 2 years ago...
And yet, earlier today, I was just thinking I want new exciting clothes...
Good luck. Be strong.
I don't want to be a bore but this is something I feel strongly about so: if you have an extra pair of jeans you don't use, give them away. Two wardrobes..err..you know what to do.Forget the crap about the joy of giving and people in need etc. Even minus all that, there's no better feeling than only owning what you need (plus a couple of guilty pleasures, maybe). Just try it, people just own too much stuff these days.
