Hi all! I have been lurking around since I use Finds to organize stuff, but haven't been active. I've been very busy with new creative endeavors, plus work has been even more insane than usual.

I now basically officially work from home full-time since our amount of office space was decreased due to budget cuts. (Hard time to be a nonprofit.) I had not been going in much anyway.

So am also in the middle of seriously reevaluating my existing wardrobe since I don't significantly leave the house most days anymore - anywhere I go is mostly on foot. Walks, grocery shopping, Pilates, etc. I go out farther afield for social purposes 2-3 times a week, and most of those are fairly casual. I am trying to shop less, which is easier now since my hyperfixations in life have moved elsewhere from fashion to a great extent.

My pants and jeans are getting tight due to more muscle but not so much lost fat. This is an easy place to pare down right away but cutting the uncomfortable stuff, but I have to make sure enough comfy options remain, because it turns out that working in sweatpants does nothing for my mental acuity. I need to wear jeans or pants, but they need to be comfy (very stretchy denim, ponte, etc).

Otherwise, I have too many shoes, light jackets, and other work-appropriate wear. I am thinking gradual attrition is the way to go since I have space overall. The one thing I will keep a lot of is sweaters, since I need from October-May and I get bored if I wear the same few all the time. I still have too many summer dresses, but I don't mind wearing those to wfh and they make me happy.

Anyway, I know many of you have been through a similar transition so please feel free to offer wisdom, though I am also just saying hi and that I hope you're all well!
