Ever since my sweet angel got here six months ago, I have the same thought when getting dressed almost every day( every Sunday and special event for sure)
"I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR"
Its quite the dilemma and it sure doesn't make a person feel good about themselves.
Work is not a problem but basically any other time clothes are required there is a long battle in the closet. Trying clothes on, ripping them off, and eventually ending up in my one "safety" dress that doesn't look wonderful but I am not embarrassed to wear in public, Reagan can ruin it with whatever shes drooling today, and i can wear comfortable shoes with. sounds sexy right? that is exactly what it is NOT....
Sooo....... I cleaned out my closet, getting rid( passing along to deserving bodies who might use them) of everything that didn't fit, look good, or I hadn't worn in a year( chances were I wasn't going to wear them this year either).
And to my surprise.....
I had 38 dressed...
38 dresses and nothing to wear!
The solution:
I am working my way through every dress one by one. If I go to the closet and put the next dress in line on, and cant find a single way to make it work I put it in a hand me down pile. Anna has gotten some great dresses that honestly are probably more appropriate for her place in life then mine ( 25yrs old, married, with baby). I have gotten rid of a few dresses, but mostly I'm having a great time finding new ways to wear old clothes or wearing dresses for the first time that I bought and never wore. Whenever I go to my closet now, I know I have some options.I also have more room in my closet since I started this plan. My Safety dress still gets a lot of use though.. when I over sleep and need a fast fit, or when Reagan decides to veto an outfit.
