As many others are doing in the season-changing process, I've been going through my closets this weekend. I reordered all my skirts, placing my black, brown, navy, and prints in line. I purged out 3 print skirts which were always "pretty" and seemed like a good idea but never worn, and an ill-fitting bad color khaki cargo skirt. I have 3 good solid black pencils - I could get rid of one or two possibly.
As to tops, I pulled out the sleeveless dressy tops from my active closet and put in the seasonal storage closet. I placed my short sleeve tops in the active closet. Reviewed my light weight jackets and transitional weather cardigans. So I'm now reminded of combinations I have not worn since it was cool (last spring - eons ago??).
While I was rearranging things, I came across 4 tops that I have not worn much if at all - one is 3/4 sleeves cream with beading around the neck, one is sleeveless rust with sequins, one is 3/4 sleeves gray with sequin argyle design on the front, and the last is short sleeve navy with tiny bead design and an assymetrical hem. Of course I bought all these with the idea I would wear them to "go out" but then they always seem too fancy for dinner at Lone Star or TGIFridays (our usual destinations), of course, so I revert to lesser items. Now I hung them together and I will call them my "going out" category. HA. I think they may have been orphaned because they were mixed in with the sleeve length divisions rather than an occasion capsule.
I did identify some "wardrobe holes", but danged if I didn't write them down when the notion struck, so I've totally forgotten already!
Still some more work to be done, so off to the closet job! How is your summer-to-fall wardrobe overhaul going? Have you discovered you have enough choices? Too much to deal with? Forgotten pieces that need attention?
I'm toying with setting myself a weekly challenge. It seems successful for many of you, and entertaining and inspiring to me when someone does it. See additional post for challenge ideas. Thanks for reading.
