another way to think about that orphan item

bj1111

why compound a negative feeling (spending one's hard earned money on an item flop) by continuing to wear the unsuitable item?

You could be like me, I held onto a shoe for a long time... 2006?.. Hey aren't pointed toe stilettos coming back now? Lace? Check and check. Not to mention when I first wore shoe booties in 2005 with my skinny jeans, I was ahead of the style curve ;).

But yes, I've had to own up to style flops... By giving them up to others! Win win!

Oh - I love this way of reframing it.

This is my idea, too -- get rid of the things that are clogging up the closet and bring on the fresh ones. No point hanging onto bad feelings.

Besides, my orphan might be somebody else's delight. That's spreading GOOD feeling. I call it a net positive. How's that for girl math?

I love her attitude! The faster I get rid of the orphans, the sooner I forget about them and the money I wasted *cough* --or invested. In my fashion education.
