I have spent the last 3 days doing a little Spring Cleaning. I went through my entire clothing, shoe collection and purged a total of 12 garbage bags filled with good quality stuff that no longer fits my body or my current life style. It occurred to me to sell things but I would like to step outside of that box and donate to a good cause like My Sisters Place. Trying to decide what to purge I had to address the fact of the matter is I am so busy at home I do not go out as often as I should. So my basic uniform is a comfortable pull over shirt of the day and sweats or yoga pants. I am on the "reinventing myself" journey and while I am comfortable in my basic uniform, I would like to present myself as I am, comfortable out in the world. So a 3 day flurry of one item at a time. I cannot believe I also had gotten rid of so many clothes and yet the racks are so full. In a month or so there will be a round 2 of purging. Note to self: What I need most in my room is good overhead lighting. The process of purging was about being real with myself. How many formal events will you be heading to in the next year? 1 maybe,- pick the best and get rid of the 6 others. Will I ever go to a business networking event again, well maybe yes but as an artist. I am a Boho, Classic Romantic. I can make that work!! How many clothes will I actually wear during the summer? I love dresses and prefer them over slacks or jeans. My neutrals are grey navy black and brown. My colors that spark joy Red Purple and Orange and Greens Olive Greens. Black and Navy are my Standards. With all the art I have been making I have learned that I love color and want to know how color works in my fashion sense. I learned a lot about what I Like, love and what feels good on me. It took all these years to figure that out. No time like the present. Happy Easter to you all. The Spring cleaning continues but for now I am going for a walk and being present with nature.
