So what does a gal do on a day off work when the weather is positively crappy? She cleans her closet!

Below are the items I'm donating to my local battered women's shelter. I've decided from this point on when I'm purging or donating something, rather then sending it to Goodwill or Value Village, I'm giving it to the shelter. These women often leave their homes in the middle of the night with nothing but what they're wearing and then once some recovery has taken place, need to re-enter the workforce. I figure they need it most.

The two pairs of shoes have heels that my wonky knee will no longer handle, the purses (although lovely) are not ones I'm reaching for and frankly I'm out of purse space (I admit I have a problem - lol!), the Gap leather drapey jacket drives me nuts and has a high "fuss factor" which I'm no longer willing to put up with, and the striped top makes me feel like a blob.

I'm really going to work on cleaning out my closet and only keeping the items I want to wear and use.
