It's been three years this month since I joined YLF. Time flies! I've learned so much from Angie and all you fashionable ladies, and my closet has never looked better. But….it's gotten a little jumbled and crowded over the last 6-12 months, and it's time to reevaluate.
February is usually my time to take a good look at my closet, but this year needs an especially critical evaluation for two major reasons:
1) I've done a lot of emotional/habitual shopping over the past two years as DH has been in and out of the hospital. I developed some bad online browsing/shopping habits as I sat around in waiting rooms, and made some impulsive shopping mistakes. It's time to get a handle on what is working and what isn't in my closet so I can be more focused going forward. I still don't have the wardrobe cohesion that I'd like to have, but I feel it's within reach.
2) My color analysis at the end of last summer really threw me a curveball in that the low-contrast soft colors I thought worked best for me really didn't! I've been working to incorporate more bright and clear colors and bright neutrals (eggshell and dove grey are two I've discovered) over the past six months, but I'm still unsure about how all the colors in my closet work together.
I'm re-reading Angie's posts on closet evaluations, but I'm totally open to any other words of wisdom. Wish me luck!
(Once I get myself sorted out I hope to be participating in the forum more.)
