The first two closets have been cleaned out. I learned really quickly the you cannot do this on your own. Find a loyal, honest buddy to help you out and yet respectful to your style. If you don't your closet will probably look just the same.
Courtney was my first victim that I talked into this project. Holy smokes I was probably a little ruthless! Love her style and envy her tiny figure but we probably still eliminated 3/4 of her closet. Shock was the result. Then we mixed and matched the remains to create some cute outfits. Then made a list of items she needed to complete the perfect wardrobe. The girl has got some sweet accessories to make for some fun outfits. To top it all off a couple weeks later her hubby, who loves her dearly, gave her some money to renew her wardrobe. Husbands are you getting this!?
Courtney then made her way to my house and shattered my closet. Several things I was attached to went away. This is why you need a buddy. Our kids destroyed the house so we didn't get to completely finish but got most things done. I've been forced to be creative with outfits because my hubby has yet to show up with a gift to shop at my heart's content. My list of items "needed" managed to consist of cardigans in every color. Had to adjust my list. Once again, this is why you need a buddy.
Overall, it was a fun experience, my closet is filled with only things that I actually wear, and will be heading to Lindsey's for the next round.
Oh, and I made $10 at Plato's closet. Not much but better than ZERO!
I will try to remember pictures next time.
A few other items on my list--jeans that fit right. Click here to find the perfect fit for you. Also here.
UPDATE: Jarom did surprise me and game me a certain amount of cash, took me to the outlets in Pigeon Forge and let me shop to my hearts content, while he just sat and waited. Good, good man.
