- I wear a lot of stripes. Too many stripes. All the stripes. I wasn't even aware of how much my wardrobe had been overrun with stripes. I don't even know if I like stripes? I am no longer buying anything with stripes.
- Just because I like a clothing item doesn't mean I need to buy it in all of the colors. One of something is just fine to start.
- It is better to buy something at close to full price that I love and can wear often than to buy something on sale that I only sort of like and don't really wear.
- Things I Have Bought in Excess/Can No Longer Buy Any Time Soon: Grey cardigans, Black pants, White v-necks and Scarves in any/all forms.
- If I feel "meh" about something, it has no place in my wardrobe.
- When I went back through my clothes to price them for the sale, I had little remorse. The only things I even "took back" were a baseball tee, a black v-neck (to go with all the scarves I own) and a pair of blue shorts. I don't know how and/or why I was housing so many things.
Now that this project is done, I can honestly say that I love everything that is in my closet. Each item (depending on the appropriate occasion) has a chance of being worn. I also already feel like I've become a better shopper. When I see things, I think much, much more about if I really want to bring them home. I'm not buying just to buy, rather I'm finding things that I'll actually look forward to wearing. There was a time that I thought the quantity of clothes I owned matter, and I now know that the quality of what I have is so much more important.
