Today was part two of shopping in my closet. After removing all the things I don't love and am not wearing, I was to try on all my clothing and find great new combinations, making note of them on the handy form I cribbed from "Ready to Wear." Then I could make a list of what I needed to take with me while shopping.
It didn't go as planned. I was very tired from my weekend in general, but had made it a goal to get this step done. I started with my long black skirt. I paired it with every top and top/jacket combo and made note of what worked. And that was all I could take.
I know I should do the mix and match things, but it's not going to happen. I basically know what I need: about three more pair of pants, all new tops, new dress shoes, new lace-up shoes, new bras, new underwear, new socks. We'll just go from there.
It can be hard to look at your closet with a mix-master's eye. It seems that I always mix/match the same things and then spend the rest of the time hating my clothes. Way to get started and give it a try! -S
