project: get rid of a bunch of clothes

well we checked off one thing on our list last week by cleaning out our dressers. every time i try to clean out my dresser, i end up getting rid of like, two items. yet, i wear like 5% of whats in my dresser. plus, i had tons of old socks, underwear, pajama pants, etc that i desperately needed to get rid of. i guess watching me clean out my dresser got griffin inspired, because as i was finishing mine, griffin went to work at his and actual got rid of a good amount. all in all, we rounded up two trash bags full of clothes that i donated today at our local boys and girls resale shop.

to continue with the theme of purging and organizing, i decided to tackle my closet today. there are sooooooo many things in there that i NEVER wear and i decided it was finally time to get rid of some of it. there are also some things in there that i think might be a little too young looking. not that i'm old or anything. but they kind of scream high school/early college. after about an hour and a half of sorting through, i got rid of 57 items. i also got rid of 9 pairs of shoes. baird napped and played in his exersaucer while i cleaned :) he's such a trooper!!



i took those pictures with my iphone so they are pretty blurry. anywho, i'm going to have griffin go through his closet sometime this week and then i am going to take it all to plato's closet to see how much $ they will give me for all of it!

i'm glad this is one thing i can mark off my summer to-do list.

sorry i've been mia lately, griffin has been on a business trip in new york so i've been flying solo. he gets back tonight though so baird and i are both super excited!!

happy wednesday yall :)

love,

great job! a true clean-out is difficult to do for sure. i think i have to constantly clean out to keep up because i'm the same way -- do a "clean out" but still have lots of things i dont wear. good thing you had a great helper :)
