I’m inspired. Between this and giving a thorough going-over to my summer shoe collection, I was moved today to add about 10 items from my closet and holding zone to the giveaway box. The victims included a button-front silk shirt I’ve had for probably 15 years, no lie. I think I last wore it 4 or 5 years ago. Whyyyyy? Why do I keep this stuff? Let it goooooo!

Good for you, Janet! Sometimes it might be important to analyze why we keep things for so long, but sometimes the why isn’t important. You just know that when it is time, it is time. Editing and letting go are very personal choices. Just think how happy that silk blouse is going to make someone!

Haha! In the process of packing for a short visit to TX, I ended up pulling out some more stuff from the holding zone, and some lucky lady is going to score a few really nice pencil skirts. A size too small and too dressy for my current life anyway? Bye bye. They just make me feel bad when I look at them, and who needs that?

I have been inspired by these posts to do some ruthless closet editing. I realized looking in my closet(s) at clothing that is worn out, ill-fitting or just not worn is bringing me down.

Style fan, I predict you will feel so good when you make some decisions and let go of pieces that no longer reveal your best self.
