After last week’s post about cleaning out my closet, you might be wondering if there is anything left for me to wear. I guarantee there is a hefty amount of clothing and shoes left for me to choose from. I started with around 128 items and downsized by about half, leaving me around 60 items total. I thought it would be fun since I make so many packing lists and other capsules to share what exactly made the cut.
Not only did I learn a lot about the process of cleaning out a closet, I learned a lot about my preferences and favorites. I also learned I might want to keep something I haven’t worn in over a year because it brings me joy to touch it. I have a few items on the list that I am currently giving a chance for me to wear again, and if they aren’t worn in my slimmer closet, they’re going to go as well.

So as you can see, there is still quite a lot of clothing. I learned that my favorite clothing items are shoes, dresses, and denim. Seems like I may not be a purse girl, as I now own all of 3 (dark tote, light reversible tote, convertible clutch, and a lightweight black backpack).
