Closet Case

Mr R and I have been talking about going through all our clothes in our closet, and getting rid of what we don't or won't wear. He's got quite the T-shirt collection, some going back 30 years, and I just have lots of stuff that either doesn't fit right any more or I just don't wear. So we spent a rocking Friday evening going through it all, and this is the result.

I should have taken a pic of the pile, but I didn't think of it. To get this great pile from our room upstairs, all the way down to my car, I wheeled that wagon just under our balcony and Mr R threw the multiple loads of t-shirts, and jeans over the side, carefully aimed to completely miss hitting the wagon at all. I filled and emptied that wagon twice and completely filled the back of my car for the trip to Goodwill.

And the result is that I now have some hangers again. :)

There was something on every one of those hangers.

I feel much better now and It's time to go shopping for some new clothes :)

Enjoy your weekend, the Purge Continues...

Fashionista--I am Not

Ok, I know I don't usually delve into fashion on my blog, but I'm gonna pull out my "girl card" and act like one for a change. Let's talk fashion (as best as I can).


I do love looking at the beautiful clothing at Anthropologie, however, my 5'2" height, busty with an extra 20 lbs doesn't lend me to wearing ruffles well. Let's just say I don't like looking like a "gaudy wedding cake". But I can look can't I?

And my new discovery is Ruche thanks Linda for the hint.

I just loved this little item, and thought it might actually work for me but... it's Rayon. And although Rayon is fine, It just doesn't work for the Texas Weather. Rayon for me is like wearing plastic in 100 degree heat, and that just won't do. But I once again, I can look.

What happened to cotton & gauze summer clothing? We need it almost year round here.

What about this one?

Rayon Again Agggg!

This one is cute

This might actually work only 75% rayon, and would look cute over something cotton in the Fall (weather a little more rayon friendly). So that is a possibility.

But I really need to try it on, because for me what looks good on the hanger (or mannequin) does not always work for me.

This is cute

But did I say, "I don't do dresses", I look dreadful in a dress and loath the occasions where I have to wear one. Especially now since I can't cover my very white legs with Tan Hose (when will those come back into vogue?)

So I'm back to my blue jeans, tennis shoes, and variations on the t-shirt. Comfortable, practical, cool, and great to junk in (as long as it's not white).

But I do love me a good hand bag!!!!!!!

Thanks Robelyn!

More from Red Neck Chic

I guess I'll focus my fashion attention on Junk Jewelry and Cool bags. As much as I try to branch out on the shoe front, I always seem to gravitate back to my comfy tennies.

Maybe these would work

Converse



So there is my attempt at fashion talk
