As I noted in a response on the NY's resolution query, I'm doing some honing in bits and pieces that may be as good as some prior big dramatic sweeps.
Still finding items in brown or true red that are complicating things--it's funny that I did not just hunt down every one, but gradually seem to discover items lurking and go, yup, not working.
I also am using a line from closet organizing tips of, "get rid of items that don't feel like you". Of course, that's just another way of saying not your style, but since I still have trouble articulating what that is, the simpler version is working.
Some of the "not me" were experiments, and so it can be hard to admit they didn't work. Or need to quit worrying about "why not" and just move on.
Also, sometimes it's not the item but how it's worn, and I should keep the item, but cross off wearing it the way that is "not me".
For example, I have a couple of long-ish sweaters that I thought for sure would be for work trousers. And, they do work okay , but didn''t have the quite the vibe I'm going for. So feeling bad, like that could have been a mistake. Then, along comes colder weather and wearing lined BF jeans which have a relatively low rise, and those sweaters look just right with the jeans. Maybe not what I'd planned, but now I'm wearing them regularly as the go-to tops for that and not trying to make them mix with everything.
