Hooray! I’m so happy to see this post and all the links. I have a three day weekend, and will have some time to sort and try on clothes. I started an edit a few weeks ago with my jeans. I culled all the pairs with a low and/or mid rise. I also did a very quick sort of my coats and pulled out two that I no longer wear.
I find myself shifting towards more casual clothing and I would like to shrink my wardrobe so I can start getting ready to downsize now that both my children are almost done with college. I recently read about Hygge and the concept appeals. I think my home has the qualities of hygge, and by focusing on texture and movement in my wardrobe over the past year I think I may be adding hygge as well. To function well my clothing needs to be comfortable, practical and beautiful. I don’t need to wear as many dressy outfits, and I have made less use of my skirts, sheath dresses, and formal dresses.
Thank you for sharing your tips for getting the job done in the above links. I am sure I will need help making decisions. One of my biggest difficulties has been eliminating clothing that fits, is in good shape but doesn’t get used much and/or fit in well with my current style goals. I am good at convincing myself that I will wear this type of item and I usually do wear them but very infrequently. My wardrobe has too many of these borderline items, and they detract from the gems. If I can eliminate infrequently used clothing, I believe I would love my wardrobe even more because I would repeat wears of my favorite items more often.
