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 15: long way home
"Forgive me pretty baby, but I always take the long way home." Tom Waits wrote it but Norah Jones really brings it home. And I think about those words and wonder if the "long way" is creative avoidance or a statement about finding one's way. No matter, it's a great...
day 14: blinded by the light
Blinded by the light pretty much is when the sun comes out in Portland, Oregon. If you have ever seen the show Portlandia... you know what I am talking about. Any amount of sunlight is cause for great jubilation... and a chance to break out sunglasses and lawn...
day 13: best shot
Hit me with your best shot... right in the left arm. And then "hit" Number 1. Because both of us rolled up our sleeves for the covid vaccine today. And... It was pretty painless. Glad that is out of the way. Next dose in about two weeks.For those of you just...
