Where Did June Go?!?

Wow. This month completely flew by! Today, I looked back and said to myself "What have I even done this month?". I am feeling frustrated and discouraged that I have not done nearly as many things as I wanted to these last couple of weeks.

I am still fired up about getting rid of clothes, I just haven't actually done it. Granted, my best friend was having a baby the weekend of the 12th, so I was away that whole weekend, and last Sunday was father's day, so Nick and I were with our families all day. I have also been in the process on buying a car for the last couple of weeks, which was stressful and consumed much of my thoughts. I now have that car, and am so excited!

Also, my parents, Step-Dad, little brother and sister will all be moving away at the beginning of July. This is an added stress, and honestly makes me quite overwhelmed. I have never lived so far way from my family. It will be weird to be the only one still "home". I need to make room in my apartment for the couple of things that I plan on keeping from their house (mainly 2 vintage school desks, that are AT LEAST 50 years old, but probably much older).

This weekend, I have a plan. Granted, it's not much of a plan, but I am done trying to get everything done at one time. It's too disappointing when I don't accomplish what I wanted. So, this weekend (Sunday in particular), before I go help my parents move some, I will go through the clothes that are already in my bedroom and organize them. This is an easy one because most of my clothes are still packed away. I will be happy if I can get this done. Here's hoping.

Wardrobe Clean-out!!

I have FINALLY had enough with my clothes. It is not only the fact that I have so many now, it's the fact that I am borrrrrrrred with them. I feel like I own very few things that I really like, and that fit me well, and I think it's time to start over. Here's the game plan:

GET RID OF
...clothes that don't fit (see previous "skirt with geese on it" post).
...clothes that I don't like ("skirt with geese", again!).
...duplicates (how many white v-neck t-shirts do I really need?).
...hot pink shoes (I have multiple pairs...don't ask).

PURCHASE
...dress pants ( The Limited makes a pair that fits perfect).
...Button Down Shirts that fit ( Old Navy now sells most styles in Tall, with longer arms and length!).
...accessories (that way my clothes will be versatile!).
...Jeans that are age appropriate (Dark, trouser-ish).
...a couple of nice "going out" shirts (I am still young! ha).
...nice flats (black, brown, metallic of some kind).


I feel like once I have done this, I will be more content with what I own, and maybe I won't be so inclined to buy everything I see! I am really excited for the purge and will post pictures of the piles that go buh-bye!!
