I do like your point about going with your "now" style. My "mom" style is definitely different from my "work" style and sometimes I lament that, but it's okay, because look who I get to spend my days with now! And if I go back to work someday, then who knows what my style might be, then?Syncopated Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284824722526828224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185730077642053986.post-14610555617373958202015-11-20T17:44:21.837-06:002015-11-20T17:44:21.837-06:00I'm winnowing down my wardrobe as well.

My husband and I did it together and we're down to one dresser and one small closet for all of our clothes. It's surprising though how the 80/20 rule still seems to apply no matter how many clothes you own! First time linking up with Friday Frivolity.

I've put off doing much sorting yet as I hope to actually shift the baby weight before she stops being a baby, but next year I'm really going to have to get ruthless! :)Jessica Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17600892373826080305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185730077642053986.post-5207355561050232962015-11-20T08:02:27.505-06:002015-11-20T08:02:27.505-06:00I'm all for minimalism but I must admit to hol...I'm all for minimalism but I must admit to holding onto a few more outfits than I really need. I just can't justify throwing something out that still fits and I still wear occasionally. Luckily I'm not a big shopper so my wardrobe isn't a nightmare (and ironing is against my religion too - along with sweating!)Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185730077642053986.post-20972599246876585712015-11-19T20:38:06.691-06:002015-11-19T20:38:06.691-06:00Yay!

Although I ...I definitely have a historical closet. Although I must say it's getting better. And I know what you mean about Middle School memorabilia, I still have a pair of pants and a skirt from eighth grade I adore... Silly me. <br />Typically when I get frustrated with my closet I overwhelm myself by throwing everything I own on my bed, and going through everything at once - toss, save, toss, save. It's exhausting and takes WAY too much time. Plus, it's so overwhelming that I sometimes give up and stop short of what I know I could. So, your way, of doing one item in, two out is a brilliant idea. I will certainly be enforcing that!!<br />On top of all this, I never thought about wearing a dress to a dinner at home with myself and my other half, but I'm now convinced that it's absolutely the way to go!<br />Thanks for sharing :DAshlee Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007160092631378031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185730077642053986.post-6598315180460281682015-10-11T21:21:44.647-05:002015-10-11T21:21:44.647-05:00Thank you for entering the Pin to this post in the...Thank you for entering the Pin to this post in the Pinterest Game.

Haha I could only afford a few new things, I have 3 black pants, 1 blue shorts, and 1 pink shorts. I don;t know how many tops I have, but not over 12, I know. And I just got rid of 2 tanks last week, cuz they show my uh hem, unders.

Then my house burned down. It's a pretty radical way of minimizing, but it did the trick. These days my closet is sparse, and I try to immediately get rid of anything I don't like or don't wear.Lesliehttp://lifeineverylimb.comnoreply@blogger.com
