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.

day 45: and the beat goes on
And the beat goes on... forever, I hope! Lately, I have been enchanted by the rhythm of life. I am not sure if it is because I spend so much time alone, that I am becoming more aware of everyday rhythms around me... waves, squirrels, birds, traffic,...
day 44: blue jean
Blue Jean -- whoever invented it is a genius! Apparently a collaboration between Jacob Davis and Levi Straus!! I particularly like it in a dress! Although I used to have an overall dress that I loved in the '70s -- I think we called them Hogwashers. Wish I...
day 43: downtown
Here's what I came up with for today! Downtown -- at least once a week, I like to go out and get all my errands and shopping done. And maybe have a little happy hour. But it is Lent right now --In case you didn't know - and I have given up... Alcohol. And I...
