Step number one in leading your easier and more elegant life this year.
Take time right now. Stop reading my blog and go and declutter something. Especially your closet. If it doesn’t fit or was a fashion impulse buy or you have yet to wear last year’s purchase, get rid of it. Be ruthless.
Take it to AmVets or the Goodwill or leave it in the alley as I did with a black leather motorcycle jacket that made me look… ridiculous. As in, not cool. Definitely.
If your closet is only full of clothing that is beautifully made, artfully tailored to you and timelessly chic you will have no option but to be elegantly attired at all times.
I am with you on this one… I moved back to the States less than two years ago with two suitcases and a couple of boxes of stuff. I had a little bit in storage, like some books and photos, and a table. Now I have a house full of things and I need to whittle everything back to the essentials, and make sure that I have only the best that I can.
My mom has also heeded my advice. Now I’m trying to find room for the stuff that she’s bringing down to me….
We do have a tendency to expand to fill our space.
Thanks for reminding me to do this!
