New Year, New Clothing Choices!

Today I put on a pair of jeans for the first time in over a month! It felt a little bit strange, I'm not gonna lie. I kind of missed my fleece-lined leggings (seriously, those things are amazing!) But since it was all of about 8 degrees here today, with snow drifts up to my knees, I decided it was time to put on some pants. I also decided to do a little reflecting on Dressember.

I didn't wear all of the dresses I own. Not even close. Mostly because I wore the same few dresses over and over, with different sweaters or tights. But also because I own way too many clothes!

And after reading some of the book 7, in which the author gives away 7 things she owns everyday for a month, I felt like it was time to clean out the closet, or at least start in on the dresses. I kept the ones I wore during Dressember and the ones I know I've worn in the past few months. The rest, I tried on and thought about why I still had them in my closet. By the end, my floor looked like this

I had 9 dresese and 5 pairs of tights to get rid of.

And I still have plenty left hanging in the closet.

 

So now my question is: What do I do now?

 

I could save it and have a garage sale in the summer, but that really only helps me buy more stuff with the money I make, and do I really need more stuff? (NO)

 

I could give it to Goodwill, but somehow that doesn't feel like a very personal or meaningful way to give something away.

 

For now, I put the dresses and tights in my extra closet, and I'm going to continue to clean out my closets and look for more stuff to give away. I'm not sure if I'll do 7 things a day, but I'm going to try. In the meantime, I'll be thinking of what I'm going to do with all of the extra stuff I find in my house.

 

Any ideas?
