HERE IS THE PILE OF THE 125 PIECES OF CLOTHING THAT I CLEARED FROM MY CLOSET TODAY!

This chore was on my list of summer tasks! I got around to tackling it today. It was kind of fun really. Brielle helped me and her and I laughed about some of my "What not to wear" fashion choices! She made me try jeans on, and then I had to hear how really NONE of them were "right!" I also heard a lot of "I remember when Tyler and I used to laugh every time you wore that!" Or, "how come you used to wear your jeans so high, I didn't even know they made jeans that could go that high!" It feels like I got rid of the majority of my wardrobe, of course according to the 17 year old helping me that needed to be the case!

But as I was loading the pile into three large lawn bags I realized I felt a huge sense of relief! This lovely warm feeling come over me, the knowledge that I will no longer need to walk into my closet and find myself completely overwhelmed with what to put on! I NEVER like what I have anyways, so now that I have a much smaller pool to choose from, I won't have to hate as many things!

We've all read those wonderful fashion articles or even seen on Oprah how you really only need 10 basic pieces of clothing in your closet. Click here if you are truly interested in how to turn your dysfunctional closet into a functional one! According to that article I could have at least 32 seperate outfits w/ those 10 items. Now what more does a girl need? Of course I won't wear the black suit, or black dress, but yeah that has to leave me at least 20 outfits, or am I allowed to swap those items out for something more "me?"
