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 18: crazy
Crazy was the name of the game today. Nuts, Cray-Cray, Wacky, Insane. The weather was crazy wild. Lots of wind, and stinging rain. So... no one wanted to go outside much. Expecially me. Well, I am the only person here. But the dogs didn't want to go out...
day 17: shop around
My daughter told me... you better shop around!! And that is generally what we like to do. When we are in Portland, we go to one of the Goodwills. However, I found the best ever thrift shop near my home in Long Beach, Washington. I've been to the REACHOUT...
day 16: fields of gold
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky, when we walk the fields of gold. Sting said it all, on this amazing song. Tomorrow, I'll cross my own field of gold and I head down to take a look at the ever-changing coastline that is my beach. Pretty amazing.For those of...
