Wearing What's In My Closet ~

It's Not the Catchiest Title but it's what's currently going on in my life. A few months ago I had mentioned on one of the social media platforms that I simply had "too much", meaning too many clothes and make up products. I wanted to simplify ....truly I needed to, and keep purchases to a minimal. I was always hitting the "BUY NOW" button on Amazon, not even thinking twice as to whether it was truly a need. I would see my favorite influencer wearing a cute top click on her link and boom, it arrived in 2 days. Immediate gratification. I'm here to report that I've accomplished my goal. My goal was to shop/wear what's in my closet vs. making purchases. I have more than I need, I've donated bags and bags of clothing and shoes just to free up space. I'm not coming on here to brag, the opposite actually. I'm here to tell you that you don't need all of the impulse purchases. Does it satisfy a need at the time YES it does or at least it did for me.

I bought this dress at least 3-4 years ago, it still fits me SHOCKING. Was it something at the time I needed, NO probably not. It's cute but not something I had to have. I'm hanging onto it, it never made the donate bag so I grabbed her and decided I wanted to snap some photos with her on. And sporting my new hair !!! My daughter did my hair the other day. She added length and I'm loving it.

I'm sharing this with you and also a reminder for myself that "I Can /We Can Do Hard Things" like limiting my clothing purchases. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. In replace of that I needed a hobby something that brings me JOY besides buying clothes so I have really started promoting my photography business AGAIN. I take breaks every now and then. We need to make this NORMAL, taking breaks. It allows my creative side to resurface and I get a whole new energy which is so good. Thanks for reading along and hoping to inspire you that simplicity isn't bad. I find it easier now than ever to open up my closet door and see several outfits rather than so many, it felt overwhelming. This NEW is so much better !
