Revamp my wardrobe

No, really! I’ve got the bag of old clothes in the car and as soon as the goodwill opens this morning, I am off to hand it over and be done with them (and my slobby/shabby way of dressing) for good.

So, that garbage bag of give-away clothes is still in my closet. And I’ve still got to finish going through what’s in all my dresser & underbed drawers.

I did spend about $100 on some new underthings & a bathing suit a little earlier today, but I really need to just bite the bullet and get rid of everything that doesn’t fit right this second.

Currently in my possession are 2 new pairs of slacks, 5 beautiful button down tops in assorted colors, and two pairs of casual shoes.
I still want to acquire a pair of khakis, some earrings, and 3 more button down tops before I’m done.

But the part I’m looking forward to is this afternoon when I go through my closet and get rid of everything that doesn’t fit me or the professional image I want to convey. :-)

2 pairs of slacks
1 pair of khakis
4 dressy tops (lightweight)
4 dressy tops (mediumweight)
2 pairs of casual shoes
A few inexpensive pairs of earrings

Doesn’t sound like a whole lot, but it’ll enable me to get rid of most of my current clothes and look a whole lot classier…even on my days off.

I have until the weekend before Mother’s Day to figure out what I need, where I’ll be getting it, and how much it’ll run.

My mother’s “mother’s day gift” to both my sister and I is a revamp of our wardrobes. As I have nothing but jeans, t-shirts, and polo shirts right now this is quite a blessing.
