And only 11 to go! So far so good with no slip-ups. I have found that I am wearing things I haven't worn in forever, and I am getting compliments. A plain black dress with an old black and white polka dot scarf=supercute belted dress. An old coco colored sweater shell over a blue button down=polished sweater vest look. Knee length yellow plaid shorts with a plain white tee=course appropriate golf attire.
I've decided to keep the ball rolling by investing in some more Huggable Hangers. At $20 for 20 hangers, they are a little spendy (especially compared to the free ones I get when I have my clothes dry cleaned) but they keep my closet looking more organized, they keep things hung nicely, and they really do take up less space than plastic hangers. The other great thing is that I can keep track of what I've been wearing by hanging newly-washed or cleaned clothes on the H.H. My stack of hangers to donate has been growing!
Oh, and I finally did get around to taking some pictures of the pre-reform closet. Look for them soon! I'm hoping that a year will bring a much more organized looking space.
If things get reeeeeeeally desperate, you can always whip out your sewing machine. I find this blog oddly addicting: http://newdressaday.wordpress.com/
ReplyDeleteYes, the sewing machine will be back in use this fall, but not for making clothes. I've got a ton of old t-shirts that I've cut up (including old FHA and other high school classics) to make a shirt quilt!
