*Try 7 tops and 7 pants – to create a month of different outfits.
*Try sleeveless or short-sleeve tops for any season – along with a sweater.
*Dark colors create a thin appearance – try teal, navy, burgundy, brown or black.
*It’s easy to shop for the same matching colors or prints.
*The same color top and pants creates a thin appearance.
*Wear summer prints in the winter and vice versa – no specific rules.
*Rather than a hat or umbrella, try a hooded jacket.
*Try one pair of dress shoes, sneakers and boots – or be barefoot.

I sold 40 pairs of shoes @ one point!
I also think if you make the clothes have alternatives it can seem like you have more. I altered a dress for a friend once that she could wear in 6 different ways. I wish I could remember the designers name!

Congrats! I stopped working in an office last year, so I just donated my work wear. None of it was custom tailored though.
It does feel good, doesn’t it? Like cutting off all your hair sometimes feels. Lighter. Less work.

I love the idea that you promote your clothing like they’re little soldiers in your wardrobe army. Since clothing is both physical protection and a buffer between you and the world, it makes so much sense! Or I could be overthinking.
And a TMNT TEE??? Awesome.

in the past two years i’ve gotten rid of over half my wardrobe and find i still have too much. i find i don’t need to be super drastic in getting rid of my stuff, but i like to keep things tight.

i’ve identified the things i wear a lot, made sure they look and feel awesome, and put them away in my dresser. then i have a special drawer in my dresser for the clothes i find pretty amazing but, for some reason, do not wear. this is the first drawer i open to pick clothes out in the morning. if i’m not feeling inspired, i just move to the staples. i use whatever item, it gets promoted to stuff i wear; if i don’t, i bring it to the next clothes-swap.

15 is inspiring, though i think i may want a little bit more. how would i ever get rid of my pink 80′s cut-off prom-dress, my favorite blue jacket, my tmnt tee, my dpw-hoodie, my jump-suit, my rain coat, or my awesome pleated skirt before they fall apart?

How timely – last night I re-sorted my wardrobe. 12 months ago I packed about half of it away (I don’t work outside the home anymore, so I packed up the suits for the day I eventually do again). Last night I slimmed everything down again, and my wardrobe now has probably a quarter what it did 18 months ago. Some packed away (my nice, tailor made clothes will store), some sent to clothes swapping sites for future swaps, some to charity.
And it feels good.
