4 DAYS AND COUNTING DOWN TO #TRACYWEARSWOOL 100 DAY DRESS CHALLENGE: GETTING READY BY CLOTHES PURGING — CLEARING OUT THE EXCESS CLOTHES IN MY CURRENT WARDROBE!
For those of you who haven’t heard…I have been invited to do a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — and I am starting on 1/20/21.
Today’s goal:
- COMPLETE inventory of what clothes I have now.
- Clothes purging: get rid of the excess to make way for new wardrobe choices
I started with t-shirts.
This is what I had left… after I got rid of 7 shirts. I felt bad… like I hadn’t accomplished much. So I tossed out (rather put in the donation bag) 17 undershirts. I don’t even know when I last wore one… I kept 2… just because it seemed right.
Next up… pants
This is actually the before photo of the pants. I ended up tossing out 3 pairs of capris, and 2 long pants. And I set aside 4 pairs of long pants that are too small — if they are still too small by March 1st… they will be donated. Oh… and I kept the skirts and shorts.
Moving on to sweaters and sweatshirts.
There are actually more sweaters in the close — but this was just from my bags. And this is a before photo — I ended up keeping 6 of the heavy sweaters, 4 sweatshirts, and 5 of the lighter weight sweaters.
And now the real fun begins… I got my daughter to help via zoom, as I went through part of my closet…..
I FEEL PRETTY GOOD… LIKE I MADE SOME REAL PROGRESS.
AND I ORDERED THESE AWESOME PACKING CUBES SO THAT I CAN ORGANIZE MY CLOTHES BETTER FOR WEEKLY TRAVEL.

2022 day 6
Day 6 Day 6 was all the way up in the low 50s, so I took advantage of the pleasantly balmy weather to get the 250 tulip bulbs that I had ordered late into their intended spot. I can't wait until spring comes. Tulips do really well up here in Portland, and...
2022 day 5
Day 5 Day 5 was a busy one. All the regular stuff, plus a trip to the Post Office to mail something to Holly, the beautiful daughter of a fellow "woolie" -- someone who also did the 100 day dress challenge. I had a pleasant trip to Trader Joes, and while...
2022 day 4
Day 4 Day 4 warmed up a bit. And not a bit too soon for me. It was still chilly, but up in the 40s. And that gave me a little bit of time to get things straightened up outside. I still haven't gotten the tulip bulbs in, but that is coming...next warm...
