Bonjour tees from Anthropologie...
Gray seems highly versatile to me. From Aerosoles... From Born...
A few photos taken mostly before the swap began... Do you think you might host a clothing swap? You may also be interested in...
Have you ever turned your house upside down searching for a top it turns out you donated? Once you realize it's gone, do you tip your head & wonder why did I donate that?? It was perfect! I loved it!
This weekend I'll be heading to Rachel's clothing swap. I'm excited! I have a big bag of clothes to add to the swap. But will I wonder years from now where my favorite top or pants went? Will I remember why I parted with them? This time I'm going to take a few minutes to document what I'm letting go of. Here's a list of my favorites that I'm donating, how much I paid for each one, how often I wore them, when, & why I'm letting them go. Exhibit B Victoria's Secret cardigan Exhibit C Boden dress
Exhibit F Patagonia dress
My sister once said that every piece of clothing has a story. It's always hard for me to part with clothes because they are full of memories. But I'll have a new supply from the swap with new memories to create.
I don't know that I'll ever record everything again like this because somehow it took quite a bit of work, but at least I'll know what happened to these few items :-) Would you ever keep a record like this of the clothes you're donating? You may be saying "that ain't nothin' new," but suddenly exposed zippers are everywhere!--on sweaters, pants, jeans, shorts, skirts, scarves--you name it! A little bit edgy, I love the pants most of all. The ankle zip might just be practical! Side-zip sweaters Skirts zipped up the side, back, pockets Pants, jeans, & cargos with pocket zips & ankle zips From J. Crew A pretty zippy transitional outfit... Of course, there's also moto jackets & sweaters with lots of zips, but that's a whole 'nother topic, I think... I love the owl t-shirts most of all. This is a post from the archives updated with a few odd birds. A bunch for kids...
"You are beautiful, in every single way." --Christina Aguilara
Sometimes it seems it's all in the expression of the selfie-taker. Is he or she gazing into the camera with Narcissus' eyes? Or simply documenting himself or herself at this moment in time? "Love your curves and all your edges. All your perfect imperfections." --John Legend
"You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true." --James Blunt
So what of the selfie? Is it vain? Maybe sometimes. Is it trendy? Definitely. Will we be glad we took a few in a couple years' time? Absolutely. "You are perfect to me." --Pink Do you take selfies? Sometimes the work uniform is football gear. On Friday, I took my son to the dentist, & everyone from the receptionist to the dentist was wearing a Broncos tee or jersey. Everyone at Costco comes to work in Broncos shirts on Sundays. It's a fun, comfortable uniform & gets everyone psyched up for the kick-off of the NFL season. Only trouble is when your football t-shirt is ugly or stained with hot wings' sauce--but maybe that's half the fun... :-) Here are my favorite t-shirts of the football season. Enjoy the fun & show your team spirit! Does your work have days when everyone wears football gear?
Animal prints are classic & seem to me to convey a little old Hollywood grace & glamour. Here are the animals in my closet... Last year, I found this leopard-print dress at Land's End for under $30. Very easy to wear. My youngest son's very favorite item of mine is this leopard-print cardigan because it's so soft. I got at H&M for $5; I noticed over the weekend they still carry them in store for $14.95. Over the summer, I came across this animal-print skirt from Banana Republic that I managed to snag for the "kill price" of $9.50. My latest acquisition is this leopard-print sweatshirt from H&M. So what about you? Do you own many animal-print pieces? Did you buy them recently or in the past? You may also like...
