Closet Purge

What better a way to start off 2010 than with a closet purge!

This was inspired by buying 3 pairs of shoes (all on sale) to replace at least 3 pairs of my old ones.

1 pair - work pair - had been wearing the old ones for 3 years, pretty much daily to work.
2 & 3 pair - Casual pairs - had bought them for when I went to Singapore, 5 years old.
4 pair - kitten heeled sandals - hadn't worn them in ages.
Unfortunately, due to the state of these I had to throw them out rather than donate them.

Replaced with 1 definate work pair, 1 black ballet flats (potential work wear) and 1 pair of black casual shoes, all have had 1st coat of water proofing, will do another soon.

In addition to these 4 pairs of shoes, I purged:
3 tops - hadn't worn any of them in over a year
2 jumpers - hadn't worn them and 1 gave me hives
3 dresses - worn very little
2 skirts - a bit big for me
5 shirts - pete won't notice
1 pair of high heels - worn once. painful shoes. Not likely to wear again
1 pair of thongs - never worn, was given them in a show bag.
All of these can go to the Salvos and are now sitting in a large black plastic bag. I shall drop them off tomorrow when I have access to a car.

Now to create my must have list of clothes for this year to buy (basics basics basics and a little flair) and then I'm set.

I think I need to play in my closet a bit more, see what I have and what can go with what, cause I often find myself struggling with what to wear.
