While trying to put together outfits with all of my clothes as opposed to just my 30 items I came to a disturbing conclusion.
.
It was much easier putting together outfits when my choices were limited.
.
I kept grabbing items, trying them on, coming up with a reason why I didn't want to wear it and putting them back in the closet (okay, who am I kidding... I threw them on the floor).
Halfway through I stopped myself, picked up all the items I had discarded and one by one figured out what about that item made me not excited to wear it (this was a huuuge step for me btw). Most of the time it was the fit..
I have an odd body shape and I have this habit of buying clothes that don't fit perfectly just because I love it otherwise, assuming that I'll wear it anyways.
.
After determining what was "wrong" with each item I had to decide: Is it fixable? Or do I get rid of it? Hardest decisions ever.
This high waisted skirt from plum was one of those items. It's a little too big in the waist now so it sits a little lower than I'd like (fixable) and it was a little too long for my short legs (fixable). I got it hemmed and now I'm in love with it again! .
It was perfect to wear for dinner along the beach.
.
I am oddly excited to fix the other items in my closet that I've been staring at but unwilling to wear for quite some time now. I bought them because I loved something about them and since most of them just require hemming they'll be ready to wear in no time! Hurray!
