The Crazy Domestic is running this great challenge over at her blog (it's actually Katie P here from Food, Wine, & Mod Podge). I have been doing it this week. And it's time for the verdict. So here goes.
First of all, I didn't get through all the clothes I set aside. So I will have to set some aside for next week.
Secondly, I do not have pictures--this is something I really do have to improve on this year, and maybe I'll get it going for next week, but I am currently under the weather and don't feel like locating my camera. So I'll tell you about what I did.
I had this beautiful black wool jacket I bought at the thrift store, and I had yet to wear it. I really like the warmth of it, and the classiness. It went really well with some black pants and a turquoise sweater (that I also had not worn though it was not part of the challenge!). So I am keeping it.
Then I had a blue/beige flowered pair of pants. I always thought that these pants were too tight on me. I thought I might be getting rid of them. But when I put them on, I realized just how nice I looked in them. In fact, I was certain that I wanted to keep this pair of pants! They were the surprise of the week, I do believe.
Okay, I have a pair of medium blue slacks that I am still undecided about. I put them on, and I was pretty sure that I didn't want them any more. They seemed tight. However, they did loosen as the day went on. I wore them with a black sweater, and I just wasn't sure how flattering the pants were. The pants are comfortable, but I don't think I have found the right thing to wear with them. I think I need a frilly off-white blouse. I think I will save them aside to try one more time. They are not ugly, and I don't have a lot of variety in my pants closet. I know people say if you have to think too much about it, you should get rid of it. But I am just not ready to. So I will give it another try.
So I got rid of nothing I wore this week, but that's okay. At least I wore some things I had not in a while. And I got rid of some things even before the week began.
So I will try to get some pictures of next week's clothes. Thanks for this challenge!
