Yesterday I did a major overhaul in my closet. For some people, this is a half hour event that involves a little tidying and dusting. For me and my stash, it took considerabley longer. Like, 6 hours longer. Argh. It had to be done; I was starting to feel a little hoarder-y. Its just that after working for 4 years straight in retail, you accumulate a LOT of random stuff. Not to mention my love for vintage clothes, my well-intentioned thrift store buys that "just need to be hemmed" (but never have been), and things from H&M and Forever21 (throw-away clothes that weren't thrown away). So, my 800 tank tops from LF have got to go.
My Top 3 Rules for Closet Purging
- If its from college or high school, ditch it. Just because it fits (which would be a MIRACLE) doesn't mean you should keep it. Plus, any piece of clothing that you can remember playing underage beer pong in must be destroyed.
- If it hasn't been worn in six months to a year, there must be a reason, so kiss it goodbye. That shrunken sweater that you think you can rework into your wardrobe ain't happening, sister.
- Are you just f-ing sick of looking at it?!?! Does it remind you of fat times/skinny times that are not current? GET RID OF IT! QUICK!
Besides stupid holey tank tops and weirdly fitting items from cheapo stores, I also happen to have a glut of very nice dresses. Over the years I have collected quite a few Betsey Johnson dresses and other assorted designers. At the wise old age of 26, some of these super-fun dresses are looking a bit prom-ish. I am gonna go out on a limb here and say I won't be wearing any more balloon hem dresses with bows on them.
So, my new endeavor is going to be selling them on eBay. I picked out the perfect name: greedtothemax111. I'm gonna be RICH, bitches! Not. But maybe I can get some new and more fabulous clothes to replace them! Wheeeeee!
Here are some candidates to replace my soon-to-be-gone frocks:
