What's in my closet right now? Entirely too many clothes ... a lot of which I barely wear. And since Harrisonburg decided to suddenly go from 90 degree sweltering summer to 65 and autumnal, I'm feeling the urge to bulk up my fall staples (because, naturally, my 387695287 sweaters aren't enough - let's be real). Not only is cold weather approaching, but I'm also itching to build up my professional wear for when I hopefully get a job post-grad (fingers AND toes crossed).
Problem is, my closet cannot handle any more clothes. There are a couple ways to fix this.
1. Follow Kendi's closet overhaul plan. Even though I'm slightly obsessed
with this girl and miiiiight be biased, I think she does a great job of breaking down the process into Purging, Assessing, Organizing, Shopping and Remixing. I think a lot of times we keep things "just in case" but really they're just taking up precious space!
2. Donate. You might not love a shirt, or have nowhere to wear a certain dress, but someone
else might. Stop by your nearest Goodwill, Salvation Army or Saver's to drop off gently used clothing - you can even get a tax write-off for it!
3. My personal favorite idea (that I want to make happen SOON) is a clothing swap party. How awesome would it be if you got all your friends into one apartment, you all brought stuff you were sick of, and you got to leave with great new finds? For free? Seriously, I need to make this
happen ASAP.
... And when I get the time to tackle my cluttered closet, here are some pieces I'll be dying to
add to the mix:
Free Spirit Skirt, Francesca's Collections
Schoolboy Blazer, J. Crew
Slouchy Pocket Pants, Gap
What about you? Are you doing any "fall cleaning" and what items are you drooling over?
