I've been going through my closet and purging a bunch of things that I don't particularly love or wear enough to keep to make room (and maybe some $$$) to pick up a few new spring things. I'm trying to be more critical, but it's hard! Especially when you think about the money you spent on all that stuff.

Blue is one of my favorite colors and I have soft spot for stripes as well as for thin strap high heel sandals. I would never thought those trousers are too tight, but I understand how you feel about creasing. <br />xoxo<br />Ramona<br /><br />http://ramona-strikeapose.blogspot.ie/Ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07445294789058882855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551650242422472428.post-18201512834930944132015-06-04T21:00:37.257-04:002015-06-04T21:00:37.257-04:00It really does make sense to keep things in your c...It really does make sense to keep things in your closet that you truly love and sell/donate everything else.

Oops. Luckily I don't get emotionally attached to things like footwear, but still, it seems like a waste. But speaking of critical, I think that when it comes to our outfits we are always far harder on ourselves than others are. I would never have thought these pants were too tight (although I admit, wrinkling does drive me crazy, so I would fully support getting rid of them because of that.) And as for the blazer, well, it's black, white and striped, so of course I love it ;)<br />xox,<br />CeeCeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822990898186192908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551650242422472428.post-15667419348724996692015-06-04T10:30:45.673-04:002015-06-04T10:30:45.673-04:00Dont you just hate it when that happens ?

You search the stores, stay up late night googling, lurking and then you find that garment you wanted so much…. it arrives, you wear it once, twice and then forget about it.<br />I like both garments and would probably try wearing the trousers more this summer and then let them go.
