Another edition. Because I’m moving soon there’s a lot of purging to do. Again, I want to document my donations as an antidote to future excess. Yuck. Sometimes I just want to get rid of everything all at once. But I’m not that person. I feel loads of guilt for having accumulated so many items over the past decade. Writing about why I’m giving it away helps with the process.
Outs:
- 2 casual dresses (too “early-20s”, and not breastfeeding friendly. I would have to get naked to feed baby)
- 2 pairs of boxer shorts (I’m trying to establish a more refined home/lounge style, if that makes sense)
- 3 tank tops (too young looking)
- 2 work sweaters (I don’t feel guilty about these, I wore them to death)
- 2 work shirts (same as above)
- 1 rash guard (I love that I held on to this. I dream of living by the beach and surfing everyday. I’m glad I once had the opportunity to do so)
- 3 tee shirts (maybe it’s because I have a tummy from where baby once lived, but fitted shirts drive me crazy now)
- 1 pair of gym shorts (rides up my thighs. Who likes short shorts?)
- 2 cardigans (again, too young looking)
- 1 skirt from American Eagle (I modelled an outfit with this skirt for my husband and said I looked like a “hot young junior, starting her first job in the big city”. So, yeah. THAT skirt had to go).
- TOTAL: 19 ITEMS
Ins:
- 1 t-shirt from the Gap ($9.99 + tax)
- TOTAL: 1 ITEM
I know, so so so bad. That first purchase this month just opened a mental floodgate. Ugh. I take comfort in that it was “only” $10, but feel like I’m failing to do my part to stem the proliferation of fast fashion and its ethical consequences.
Go Lightly and Be Happy
