Day 28: Fancy Dress

Today, we went to a wedding. I especially picked this outfit way ahead of time, because even though the skirt wasn't really something I would wear the rest of the challenge, the shirt was definitely a multi-tasker. The shoes, too.

The day was GORGEOUS! Perfect sunny September weather, and the wedding was really lovely: very personal for the bride and groom, with a bit of a Sound of Music theme that kind of made my heart thump. Walking down the aisle to Edelweiss? Yes, please.

This is what I accomplished yesterday:

This is a picture of a "clothes for later" suitcase. The plastic bag is full of t-shirts that I don't wear but want to keep -- things like dorm shirts and band shirts from college, and high school shirts. Memento clothing and the like. The rest of the stuff is clothing that's too big for me at the moment, but I want to keep around in case winter hibernation gets the best of me, or in case, in the next few years, I end up gestating. Might as well save too-big clothes now and avoid having to buy a whole new stupid wardrobe later.

This is all the crap I'm getting rid of. The box is stuff I'm going to take to Plato's closet and try to make a few bucks on, and the bags are going to Goodwill. I ended up with about 65 items to donate, and many more I just tossed (old shirts, socks, gross shoes, etc.) Definitely more than 75 total.

When I move things back into the closet next week, I'll take a new picture. But I'm quite pleased!
