Less is more

vanillafluffyA while ago, I started a load of laundry, and said to myself, "Self, while that's going around in circles, let's see how many clothes you can shed from the long bar.". I filled a Rubbermaid tote to the brim with blouses/tops that are too big, too fugly or I never wear them, several vests---I haven't worn any of them in years---and a few other odds and ends.
It's a start. My goal is to get down to about 100 pieces of clothing, probably a few more under the classification of winter wear (anything with long sleeves, basically) or incentive pieces. I don't have a lot of the later, because there's a surprising amount of my old incentive pile that I'm wearing now. I'd say a dozen pieces or less is what I have that's too small at the moment. (Too large is actually more of a problem, yay!)
I also dipped into my Coke Rewards points---my Country Living subscription is about to expire, and I also splurged on Better Homes and Gardens. Getting a couple 'zines in my mailbox every month helps me not to feel too deprived when I can't buy any at the checkout.
So, not necessarily as productive as yesterday, but still getting things done.
