Project Closet, Volume II

03 January 2014

Hello!

Welcome 2014 and welcome to my first post of the year! I'm going to try my very hardest to start blogging more (i know, I KNOW- i've said that before!!) 

I never make resolutions... because I never keep resolutions. But this year I'm going to try something-- I need to get rid of some clothes.. scratch that... i have to get rid of some clothes! I have a ridiculous amount of clothes that i NEVER wear. So many things that I haven't worn in years that I just "know" I'll wear soon. Or maybe if I lose a couple pounds? Or what if I gain a couple pounds, I'll def need my fat jeans. NO MORE!!!! Will this also be motivation to maintain a good size?! Possibly! 

You might remember I did something similar, you can read about it ---> HERE. Below is my picture from the first challenge and a short recap... 


I turned all the clothes around and the challenge is-- when you wear something, hang it back up facing the right (normal) direction so you know you've worn it. After a year or the season, etc... if it's still facing backwards-- GONE! In theory this was a great idea and I actually kept up with it. I would tell what had been worn and what hadn't... which was great for not repeating outfits. 

Then one horrible night in May my apartment caught on fire, I was allowed in for five minutes to grab things-- talk about a DISASTER!!! No lights, no suitcase, no nothing and all my stupid clothes are facing different directions. I still remember my friend Shana's husband asking why the clothes weren't coming off the racks... BRILLIANT IDEA! Anyway, two months later I got most back and a dry cleaning bill for $9,000! 

Point being-- I've already downsized... a lot! So let's go 2014-- I'm going to do this right. I've got til Spring to wear my winter clothes and if I don't, they will be available at the local Salvation Army store. 

Are you making a resolution? Share with me your ideas! I think I'll also add that I vow to learn how to use my new curling iron-- so I won't be walking around looking like a mop head :) 

xoxo, ARH
