As the weather’s recently got quite autumnal I decided to start my annual summer to winter wardrobe sort out. At the end of the season I’m quite strict with myself and put summer in boxes and bring out the stuff that I’ve put away last spring, and vice versa for the winter clothes. This twice-a-year ritual is quite good for several reasons: it makes me look at my old clothes and accessories in a completely new light: every time there are several garments I’ve forgotten about. If things still fit me, the whole process makes me feel pretty good about myself – if they are loose, even better (this has only happened on one occasion years ago, but I live in hope). Finally, it’s a way of discarding things which I’ve just not worn, or are past their best, or too tight (ouch) or too loose (jippee).
While going through my wardrobe at the weekend, I saw a couple of items that although I absolutely love, I just have never worn. Both are new and never worn: an Issa top and a pair of Parisian slouchy boots. Perfect for eBay!

Wish me luck with the rest of my wardrobe reorganisation!
I do the same semi-annual process and never find a piece that qualifies for more than the Goodwill. But I keep remembering grandaughters, "Can I have this, grandma?" Hmmmm…

Before I moved I got rid of a ton of stuff I never used or wore. A lesson in thinking twice before I buy.
Then again thank goodness for places like Ebay and Amazon where, even if you do succombe to temptation, you hopefully don't have to pay too much for it.
I LOVE sorting out my clothes (and possessions in general). Since moving to France I have barely half a wardrobe of garments! Those boots are beautiful..I hope they're my size 😉
