The point of this whole blogging enterprise is to help me build a wardrobe that makes sense, so that I can get dressed, even look professional and put together, without tearing my hair out every morning. A big part of that is getting rid of stuff that is hindering rather than helping. Stuff that doesn't fit right, stuff that I can't quite make work, stuff that doesn't make me feel like me. So I recently sold some clothes at the local consignment shop and donated what they wouldn't take. I got rid of shirts, sweaters, and dresses that are in colors I don't wear very often -- blues & purples -- as well as some duplicates -- I probably don't need three navy wrap dresses.
In order to reward myself for this heroic closet cleaning exercise, I got some new clothes! They were from the shop where I consigned my stuff, so the net cost was about eleven bucks. And I'm thrilled with what I got in exchange, especially these tomato red pants that are a cotton replica of my tomato red wool pants. I love the wool version for winter, and I can always find some way to wear them, so I have no doubts that the cotton version will get lots of play this spring and summer.
I wore this out to lunch with my husband and his mom and then parking myself on the couch to work on revisions.
