Today I tackled a new project for the new year. I have been inspired to cut down drastically on the amount of clothes I own. I only wear 3/4ths of my clothes anyway, so it's just a matter of clearing the rest out. It's hard to bring myself to get rid of clothes sometimes, so I am trying a different approach. I took out all the clothes from my closet, and sorted the ones I'd really like to wear for the next few months, trying to keep the amount at a minimum. I put those back into my closet in somewhat of an organized order. (Note: Landon's tshirts are on the bottom shelf of the closet, I only took up half the hang up space and the top shelf!) Then, I got rid of a couple things I knew for sure I won't wear again, and the rest went into a big pile. I put those into a bin and will keep them, but after 2 or 3 months, I'll open it up again and then get rid of as much as I can.
After this round, I am really wanting to try the Project 333 to get an even better perspective on my wardrobe and it's impact on my life. For now, I'm getting a little more strict with myself, but allowing for learning room. I will try to keep clothes buying down to a minimum, but also keep an eye out for high quality pieces my wardrobe could use.
And you know what? It feels so great to look at my cleaned up closet!

You inspire ME! My itch for clearing out in Jan. 2014 is getting worse!! I hope I can make it 'til then & focus on school. Then...look out house!....hahaha It looks like Mr. Finn was a little helper. :-) coolmom84679
I love it! I've been doing something similar. I desperately need to get rid of a TON of clothes I don't wear anymore, and I've gotten super picky about what I buy. It's a great feeling!
