Color, take two.

An addendum to my last entry: While cleaning out my mess of a mailbox, I found a copy of a 2004 email message to a friend - two years later, I'm thinking the same things! One positive though, is that I've calmed down on prints, and I'm buying solid things that will work with the prints I do buy.

July 02, 2004:

You know what I've always wanted to do? Every fall I want to give all of my clothes to Goodwill and start over with all new sophisticated stuff. But I go through my closet and think, "Eh, I might wear that one of these days!" Well, that's over. If I haven't worn it in six years, I think it's time to finally give it up.

I used to be a very bad shopper. I'd buy all of these gorgeous pieces that didn't work with anything else. Florals and plaids and things I couldn't mix and match. What kind of crack was I on? I've gotten better, still.

I want to start over with basics, everything (mostly) in solid colors. Black, grey, brown, camel, khaki, navy, cream, white. Red. Pumpkin, moss, mustard...all the deep, gorgeous fall shades. But everything should work together. I'm tired of having a closet stuffed with things that don't work together, and other things I haven't worn in ages and probably will never wear again.

I love twin sets. I'd love to have a whole rainbow of twinsets in fall shades.

Goodwill's doing a pickup in my neighborhood on Tuesday, and I think I'm going to do a radical overhaul on my closet this weekend. It's time to say bye-bye to a ton of stuff!!!

Today's bag: I'm on vacation! The Pierotucci is still loaded up, but I don't think I'm going anywhere today.
