I figured today would be a good "fresh start" day, or at least a good day to do some major paring down of my wardrobe in order to achieve the more streamlined/thoughtful wardrobe that I want, so I went through and culled a bunch of stuff, some that I've been holding onto for waaay too many years (picture 6...it will all actually end up on scarecrows this fall for our pumpkin patch/fall festival where I work!). It feels really good to get rid of this stuff!

I also went through and took a photo of pretty much all of my clothes (except work wear, lounge wear, etc) so that I can digitally see what I have at a glance, make outfits, etc.

I did make a few new carefully considered acquisitions today/last night. I had a gift card to Victoria's Secret, so last night I bought a new bra, and I also had a gift card for L.L. Bean, so I picked up the oxford shirt in #3, and the knit blazer in #5 and #7 (I'm excited/anxious about this piece...I've always kind of wanted one but never had one. Any styling tips appreciated).

Then today I was in search of some looser fitting summer tops to wear with jeans/skirts/shorts, so I hit TJ Maxx and picked up the tops in #1, #2 and #4.

I already knew that I am drawn to blues, but my new purchases, along with all the photos of stuff I took today really affirms that I can't stay away from it!

Thanks for looking, if you have any comments or tips on wearing any of the new items I got, I'd be happy to hear them! Off to give the dog a bath...NOT in any of these new items!
