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

 

(And to see more of RAINEY… she has her own page & story HERE!)

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.
