How am I doing with the Great Closet Clean-out of 2014, you ask? Not too shabby, my friends. I have to work on this while the little one naps, because she likes to make a clothes mountain on the floor. She has no regard for dog hair on clean clothes or neatly folded stacks. Silly toddler. So far, I have reduced my shoes to 7 pairs, down from 13. 2 of those are some pretty nice Ariat boots that I should be able to get some decent cash for. I had 4 formal dresses from weddings and my prom. I have a couple cocktail dresses I'm hoping will bring a good price at the resale shop, but if not, I'll try them online first. One is a silk dress I paid WAY too much money for at Saks 5th Avenue in NYC when I was young and wealthy. I don't think I can let it go for less than $20. I also have a leather Harley Jacket in pristine condition that I think will bring close to $200 on eBay. The rest is pretty boring, but I'm up to 2 trash bags full, along with a lot of socks. I don't know why I keep socks. I hate them.
I still have the stuff in storage to rummage through and my box of scarves. I believe it's 1 or 2 boxes. I've edited my summer maternity wardrobe down to an outfit per day with 3 dresses. That was my goal! Now, I just need to do that for my regular clothes for both hot and cold (haha) weather. Texas is never cold, except for freak ice storms that last a week. However, we are acclimated to 90+ temps from April to November, so even the 50s feels freezing to us.
The proceeds from clothing sales will go towards new slacks for Daniel, and probably some nursing bras and tanks for myself. As much as I would like a new pair of shoes, I think I can get by with what I have until next spring. Whatever's left will be put towards debt.
Before and after pictures when it's all done!
