A few nights ago I had hubby dig out a bin of old clothes of mine that were in storage. I had packed the bin a few years ago with summer clothes and clothes that I couldn't fit into but "some day" I would.
It was kinda like Christmas morning as I went through the bin. There were clothes in there that I haven't wore in 5 years. I was able to fit into some of them but most of the summer ones are too small. Summer hasn't even gotten here yet so I still have time to fit into them this summer. Some times all it takes is an outfit to keep us motivated! So all day long I have been doing laundry to freshen up everything.
I also went through my closet and dresser and made a goodwill pile for clothes that were just not my style anymore or were too big now. Everything is so organized. The top shelf of my closet has stacks of jeans, shorts and tops that I can't get into just yet. My nicer clothes for work are hung nicely including a few things I can wear again. All I need now is a new pair or two of nice dress shoes to compliment my wardrobe. It will be nice to let go of some of the big old frumpy clothes.
It feels good to dress nice with things that actually fit and show your progress. Whether it's buying something new or acquiring some hand-me-downs in a smaller size, it's a great way to help you feel that your efforts are paying off.
I can't wait to put on the outfit I wore the day I met my husband. He thought I looked great then. I can't wait to blow his mind even more!
Do you have a particular item/outfit that you can't wait to wear? I would love to hear about it!
