I created a tentative schedule for this week, but there will be a lot more going on around here. I still plan to discuss food+exercise this week and will tend to things as normal (will be doing local Thursday's too!), but wanted to create a basic outline of what I've been working on for this week.
I will be doing giveaways and contests throughout the week as well as my old wardrobe remixes, daily outfit challenges etc.
Today's challenge is to clean out your closet, which can be done all week in your spare time. My plan is to empty out all of my drawers, closet caddies and other places where I've stashed clothes away over the past few months. I'm stacking them into sections: skirts, jeans, t-shirt, tank tops etc. and then sectioning off those sections into "definantly will not wear", "doesn't fit", "love", "has potential" etc. and will move on through the week from there.
I am excited about the "has potential" pile because these are items that I have, but I don't know how to wear. Maybe they need some little detail sewn on or a new way of wearing it. I will be back throughout the day and will update via twitter when I have a blog post up.
awesome post. i’ve been thinking about doing something like this to my own closet lately.
thanks for the inspiration!
Great idea and really cool graphic! I can’t wait to see what you come up with during this week.
so cool!!! your organizational skills are top notch! I like to listen to music when I do things like this! inspiring me to clean out my bureau…I have a nice collection of pantyhose from 1990 that I haven’t worn, why am I hoarding these? I haven’t worn panty hose in 15 years!
Great inspiration! But what do I do with all those ‘Hope’ clothes I love? Keep them for motivation or ban them for being a bummer?
I’ve been going thru my closet lately also but I find that I only have one category: doesn’t fit. Lol I really need a good revamoping of my closet and I think your schedule is great starting place! And gives me hope that I too can find new fun fahsion from what I already have!
Aaah! What a cool idea! Looking especially forward to this week’s postings.
sweat is good! Elder-Beerman is having a goodwill sale starting this week. I need to gather up and take. You get a 20% coupon off every item you donate to GW. How about that for motivation! Got to go, Bailey is ready to take his walk. Have fun cleaning out your closet!
Sounds like fun…to read about. I need to clean out my own closet, but I have no desire to DO it.
I’m very interested in seeing how things go with cleaning your closet, repurposing items and seeing the ensembles you put together. I have such a hard time putting together outfits. I sometime wish they made garanimals for adults. I also enjoyed your Local Thursdays. Take care.
Boy howdy this is something I REALLY need to do! Thanks for the inspiration
Oh, perhaps you can post a DIY for some of the items you “refashion”.
