1. I own too many clothes
2. I wear approximately only 30% of the clothes that I own
3. I have spent far too much money on clothes
4. If I had the money back for the clothes that I do not wear, I would be rich (and probably buy some new clothes)
5. Fitting into to something does not mean that it fits you well
6. While I refuse to believe that 28 is old, it is, in fact, too old to wear some things
7. Shirts without straps are one of those things
8. So are short skirts
9. Some teenage girl at Goodwill next week is going to strike it RICH!
10. Realizing that a pair of jeans that you had stashed away in the “too tight” pile BEFORE baby, fits now AFTER baby, is a good feeling!
In all reality, getting rid of clothes can be really hard. Some things have sat in a bin under our bed for a LONG time, refusing to walk themselves into the Goodwill pile, with me convincing myself that I will still wear it some day. Remembering how cute it looked when I was 22, and thinking that I might be able to pull it off again. Realistically, those items just bring me down, make me wish that I was something that I am not anymore. Go away, depressing clothes! Times have changed! I’m a mom! I’m a doctor! I’m a grown woman, stop bringing me down!
I make jokes about Stacy and Clinton sometimes, but really, if you want to gain a good perspective on how to dress yourself well (and appropriately), watch What Not to Wear. They have great advice that works for any body type. I have learned a lot about how to buy clothes that really work for me. The right fit, the right size, the right cut. Makes all the difference in the world. Approximately 90% of the things I kept, I have bought since T-dogg has been born, and based on things that I learned from that show. Things that just look better on me now. And when you look better, you feel better. It’s worth going through things and getting rid of stuff that just isn’t doing anything for you anymore, and keeping the stuff that works.
