Every once in a while, I get a desperate urge to take apart my closet in search of items I have not used in a while. I am sure everyone of you have found that one vest, dress, or skirt that you bought on a whim yet never found the right time to wear it. If you are like me, you could have also hung several things on top of it, due to the lack of space/hangers, and let it endure a slow and miserable death. Or, went on an even better shopping spree that put that one item on the back burner. I tell you this because this is exactly the case with the maxi skirt I am sporting up top. When I bought it, I mightily convinced my mother it was the perfect purchase. I had ten different ways to wear it in my mind already so it would be money well spent. Little did I know that 2 years would go by before I would find the right time to wear it. I am not proud of it, I am aware what $25 to spend means to others but I guess it is one of those things you need an enlighting moment to wake you up.
As I move to the next step in my life, I have made it a priority, no, better yet, a rule, to make sure this never happens again. I will theorize on ways to do so, considering my continued lack of space, this will be a a bit more complicated than exprected. But as Tony Robbins once said so insightfully, "if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten," and that is a pile of unused clothes out of season. So... challenged accepted!

I try to be very thoughtful about the items that get to join my closet. Sometimes I wish I was slightly more frivolous, but other times I am thankful that I am so deliberate.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I love how you made the maxi work!
Ooooh that necklace is a dream! Love how standout it seems layered under tough black leather! Great mix!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog love, hope you’ll be back to see my latest designs!

You look fabulous! I have to say, I usually have this problem with clothes that don't fit me quite perfectly - I always think to myself "I'll fix this, I will..." and then I never do and have clothes in my closet I can't really wear because they don't fit!
ReplyDeleteI love your skirt and the blue clutch! Great!
