Call me weak, but no morphine on this sweet earth can dull the pain of going into AllSaints during a "no buy" fast. Oh, and properly battered and worn leather is the only acceptable form of leather known to man. Hurrah for distressed ankle boots being mainstream shops' flavour of the month!

I know her wardrobe is certainly reduced and now is just key items. I have to say I need to do the same. There are lots of t-shirts I no longer wear, back from my cyberdog clubbing days. Maybe that is what I will do tonight. Downsize and ebay it all! Cool jacket and pendant.

I threw out everything I own except for underwear, socks and bespoke. I replaced it all with three identical navy blue uniforms for work and one grey uniform for chores. Novelty is overrated.

I went through my closet today and finally cleared out all of the junk I never wear anymore. A few hours later, and with much elbow grease, I had filled three large garbage bags with clothes. They're going into the donation bin tomorrow... it was indeed liberating. Plus, I am incredibly happy to finally have the room to organize the items I recently purchased. I feel much more centered, and I'm not even close to being done! I still have my dresser to go through. I can relate.

I only buy or sew the missing parts to complete what I already own. I can't afford to shop for new things very often, so I've learned to appreciate what I have. It feels damn good. Love your bedroom decor. I recently culled anything I couldn’t make an outfit out of, and now my closet is locked down into specific outfits to almost perfection.
