Thank you for posting this Alaskagirl - this is something that's been on my mind for quite awhile. Love how Sal explains it all so well.
I've noticed that I have tons of skirts, suits, beautiful silk blouses, fabulous jackets, boots and dresses, and yet - the reality is that (for now) I'm a 'housewife.' I am short on jeans and other clothing items that would make my current life a bit easier. So strange, but I suspect there's a reason for this.
I know that it's best that we 'fit' our wardrobes to match our current lifestyle, but over the past year or so, I've noticed that I'm buying all kinds of things that don't exactly match with my current lifestyle. Personally, I think this is kind of neat - because in noticing what I'm really drawn to, and what I like - I'm finding the life I'd like to live.
So, for me - instead of buying stuff to fit my current lifestyle, I've decided that the past year or so of buying more professional clothing means that I'd like a different life, and I'm going with that. Noticing my closet - it's like my closet is trying to tell me something.
Very surprised to find that reading Angie's blog has brought me to this point.
Just some food for thought - there might be a reason people find they accumulate things that aren't so practical. Maybe those things are totally practical for the life you'd like to be living?
