Good Advice!


Love this from Chic Geek. I'm starting my consume less/buy fewer clothes/buy quality resolution by giving the closet a really good cleanout. The one its been needing for literally years. I'm also thinking of going back to my credit card statements for all of 2011 and counting up the money i've spent on clothes. It's probably going to be gross, but needs to be done!

Cleaning binge continues

As I've mentioned in a few posts lately, I've been on a a little clean-out frenzy. I tackled the pantry (sort of), my closet (halfway) and my bookcase (a little). Ok, so maybe I've only been half-cleaning everything. Its been theraputic and definitely a good thing to do before I move. If I ever get to move....but that's for a different day.

I'm thinking of investing in some cute storage for various items I've got. I bought a very cute set of colorful boxes about a year ago at Homegoods, and they have worked wonders for the top of my closet. All my scarves/hats/gloves are in one, evening clutches/small bags in another, and I still have one free. This time I'm thinking of some pretty cloth bins for t-shirts, etc. That would look much prettier than the classic college 3-drawer plastic thing I've got going on now.

I planned to to some organizing last night, but felt terrible when I left work. I ate chicken noodle soup and took an hour and a half nap around 6:30 pm and was miraculously cured! Never underestimate a nice rainy day nap right when you get home from work. It may throw off your sleep schedule later that night, but oh so worth it. In other news, I think I'm going to give no-shop February another try. January did not work out between all the fabulous sales and the wonderful bonus I got at work for passing that nasty exam (yay!). I think I'll give February a good try though--last time I had a no-shop month I really enjoyed it. Its like a good little shock to the system as far as being obsessed with buying clothes and shoes, and spending my free time going to malls and stores. Added benefit: less clutter and extra money in the bank account! We'll see how it goes this time around!
