I told myself that I was not going to make ANY new clothing purchases while we were living at my parents. I tell myself things like this all the time, but then I see a great deal and it doesn’t last. But with the exception of one Zara purchase, a white sequins dress, which actually was a necessity because I forgot to pack a Christmas dress, I actually went that whole time without shopping! I am very proud of myself.
When we moved in I told myself I was downsizing my wardrobe by 75%. That’s a really tall order for me. So far, I have cut my closet in HALF! And I plan to do one more round of cuts and get to my target, 1/4 of what I started with.
I am only two days into my freshly cleaned closet, but so far I can tell you that it is 1 million times easier to get dressed every day when I can actually see what I have. As I was purging I also decided on a few new things I want to invest in, to round out my closet. One of which is a nice new black leather jacket. I think this is a closet staple. Everyone should own a leather jacket they feel REALLLLY good in!
I love my leather jacket, but it does not fit right. I keep holding onto it because I haven’t replaced it, but it is time. I bought my leather jacket when we were in Barcelona, and I was 2 months postpartum. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was not back to my normal size. So the jacket is a tad big on me now and just doesn’t have the fit I want. Lucky for me, there are insane sales going on right now! So it’s time to buy one that actually fits. I am going to hold onto my old one and throw it into my maternity box! For the next time around.
