Revitalizing my warbobe

The other day I was trying to get ready to go somewhere besides work that required more than my smock and khakis. I was annoyed with all the old/hardly ever worn clothes I have taking up precious space in my tiny apartment. I decided that this is it, the day I will clean out and get rid of all and any things I didn't wear. What is the point? I know we all do this. We keep something on hand just in case. In case we lose/gain weight, in case we wear it with something that will cover up that tear or stain, in case it comes back into style, and the list goes on. I pride myself in being able to get rid of things with out thinking twice, but some clothes are really hard to part with. But I let that thought go today and have a garbage bag full of clothes to give to good will. Man, it feels good. Along with letting go of my old clothes, I am also trying to let go of the style that existed when I purchased those articles. Since mom is in town, I have used her as my shopping companion and she has proven to be good luck. Sometimes when I shop I feel like there is nothing out there that is in my price range, and a style that I feel comfortable in. I find myself buying the same t-shirts over and over, just different colors. Those have a purpose, but I wanted a little more variety. With mom I found a dress, several shirts, and two pairs of jeans that are seriously hard to find as so many girls know. And almost all were for pretty good prices. Sometimes even I believe you have to spend to get quality. They are also a little different style than what I normally look for, but it is a welcomed change. Lili would be proud. We went into stores that I usually walk right by to get to my three regular stores. It made shopping more fun rather than a chore which is what it feels like when you are trying to find something specific. I promised KC this is all I'm going to buy for a while. And I really mean that. I don't generally like shopping unless I know exactly what to get and exactly where to get it. I'm not the kind of person that shops and forgets what shes buys the next day. A lot of thought goes into my purchases and I really value the things I earn. Maybe that's why it's hard for me to get rid of them sometimes.

I know this post might sound superficial writing so much about silly clothes, but I think that by freshening up something you see everyday, whether it's clothes, rearranging the furniture, or making all new recipes for a week, it can really add a little bounce to everyday life. Changes are good.
