STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

So I spent this morning trying on every single thing I own and got rid of two big shopping bags full of stuff. I went to Plato's Closet (a chain consignment store for those of you not familiar with it, however it isn't technically consignment- they just give you a big chunk of cash up front). I made $40, which was way more than I expected esp. 'cause they didn't even take that much stuff. The rest I'm going to drop off at the homeless shelter.

I feel so liberated!

I used the guidelines in The Lucky Shopping Manual which are:

      Does it flatter my shape?

      Is the fit perfect or fixable? 

      Is the color right for me?

      Have I worn it in the last two years? (I used one year as a guideline)

      Do I feel great when I wear it?

The funny thing too is that in a week (or less) I probably won't even be able to remember what I got rid of 'cause since they were all things I rarely wore and cased me aggravation. 

By the way, after I cleaned out I counted every single top and bottom that I have -not including jackets or what's in the laundry. For tops I have 70 and for bottoms 31 (not including what's in the laundry). I was really surprised at the numbers!

Lastly before I drop off stuff at the shelter i'm going to take a photo of the massive heap and keep it in my purse as a reminder of all the stuff I never should of bought in the first place.
