Its so empty now
Its been an intense few weeks of wardrobe clean-out. As I’ve mentioned, I’m trying to accomplish a few things with my selling:
- Make extra (or “just enough”) money to cover moving expenses.
- Remove every single item I don’t want to wear right now. Any ill-fitting item. Any piece with irreversible damage. Any non-flattering color. Anything that’s hard to pair with an outfit. This is all closet clutter.
- Consequently, be able to fit everything that’s left in one small closet (that’s all I get) and have no problems making flattering outfits every day.
Above is the aftermath for tops. I’ve also sold over half of my pants and shoes. Its now much easier to observe my wardrobe deficiencies.
I’ve made a few purchases so far this month to fill in those gaps. I’ve decided I’m keeping the Kate Spade pumps I mentioned in a previous post. They’re just gorgeous, are actually pretty comfy with inserts, and will easily dress up any outfit. I plan on wearing them to graduation on Friday with a black DVF dress I picked up on eBay (essentially this one but with 3/4 sleeves). Those are the only two items I’ve received so far this month, but I have a few others on the way that I’m super excited about!! Thanks for reading, happy Thursday 🙂
Good for you, Amber! I had 4 boxes full of stuff that I didn’t want to wear anymore. I ended up donate them all because I couldn’t find time to list them in eBay. I only bought one thing this month and am excited for the “reveal” 🙂
oh awesome, i’m excited for your reveal, too!! wow, that’s a lot of boxes to donate! i have a bag full of stuff that’s not worth selling. can that go in the donations part of taxes? i’ll have to look that up.
Yay for your closet sales!! I need to list a bunch of things from my closet, but I may just end up donating it. It seems such a hassle to deal with some buyers that I’ve encountered.
I’ve been meaning to say congratulations to you! Every time I want to comment to you, I have a bad connection. Hope you have a great graduation day! Will there be a graduation outfit post?
Wish you the best,

thanks, Joy! yeah, I can’t wait to be done with eBay selling. once I start working that’ll be it. until then I have to make all the money back that i can. no graduation outfit post 🙁 the dress didn’t work out and i looked like a marshmallow with a funny hat in my garb
That is a massive closet clean up! Love the DVF dress! Looking forward to the graduation pictures!
Wow! Quite the closet purge! Good for you & I’m very happy the Kate Spade’s worked!
thanks, kelly! i’m glad they did. the tighter heel actually works out really well to prevent heel slippage. i just wore socks with them and heated them with the hair dryer for a little bit to stretch out the really tight parts
