On the wake of Kate's maxim about vacation worthy clothes: I was ruminating on what to wear around the house here that wasn't raggedy. I realized if I keep hanging on to the demoted stuff I would wear mostly just that. And that's when my maxim appeared like a bubble cartoon caption over my head!
Wear nicer stuff casually or get nicer casual stuff.
Simple, yes. But it boils down my latest trouble with my closet nicely. Mo's corollary
I pulled out a few demoted dresses, tried them on, etc. I promoted one dress back up to casual wear and moved 2 to the donate pile. Not having that catchall demoted/loungewear abyss is more helpful for me. I have 2 dedicated lounge dresses now. The in betweens either made the cut or didn't. And now I can look to the dresses hanging in my closet because I don't have the pile of so-so's to fall back on. Like I said, simple, but just changing this little perspective somehow makes half of my closet more accessible to me. The mind is a funny thing LOL. Or at least mine is!
