Closet Shopping

Nothing is better than finding great “new” clothes in your own closet.   Not that they are actually new, but they have not been worn in a number of years because they were too small.  Not any more.

Russ is taking me to Mexico and I finally get to put some warm weather wear on.  It not only seems like it has been months since I have worn a bathing suit is actually has been at least nine months. I am still about twenty pounds from my ultimate goal so I don’t want to invest in many new summer outfits so I went shopping in my closet.

The thing about gaining and losing weight is that if you buy classic clothes you have a large range of sizes.  Consequently I have black pants and white slacks in every size imaginable.  It is hard work to try on what I find hiding in all the dressers, closets and shelves I have things stashed in.  Anything that is slightly too big is getting weeded out.  Anything too small is getting put in one inspirational closet and then there is the goldilocks closet, those that are just right.

The inspirational closet is giving me that push I need to keep on the downward trend.  I just have to not love the goldilocks stuff too much so that don’t I feel content to stay where I am.

So here’s to spring and warm weather clothes, new and old.  Thank goodness, I was beginning to get really sick of my sweaters.  I hope you are going to enjoy beautiful weather this coming week wherever you are.
