Summer is the {NEW} New Year! #newyearsummer

June 11, 2015 by Ashley Reed 3 Comments

There’s something fresh, new, and
exciting about June 1st.
Even more exciting than January 1st, in my opinion.  For many of us teachers, we’re out of school
by June 1st (or shortly thereafter).  There’s time to rest and rejuvenate, complete
half-finished projects, enjoy or families, and JUSt BE.
But there’s also time to really focus on what’s working AND what’s not
working in our lives.  There’s time to be
the metaphorical caterpillar and wrap ourselves in the cocoon of summer so we
can emerge as the beautiful butterfly we dream of being.
One of my dreams (and hubby will be
thrilled!) is to be banish my life of clutter, disorganization, chaos, and
materialism and to embrace a life that’s more simple, meaningful, and
purposeful.
The following quote is my new mantra for
our household as it relates to material things.

One of the first things I’m doing this
summer is cleaning out our clothing.
I’ve become inspired by
Project 333 and Un-Fancy
to pare down my wardrobe….drastically.
I’m not even what you’d probably consider
a clothes-horse.  But I do have a TON of
clothes.  Truth be told, I probably only
wear ¼ of the clothes.  Sad, huh.  I bet you can relate!
So here are the steps I’m following in
paring down my wardrobe:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I’ll be back later with some pictures of my progress.  I don’t know that I’ll get down to 37 pieces or 33 pieces like some Capsule Wardrobe proponents advocate….but I’ll get down to a number that’s comfortable for me while being sure I truly LOVE what I have and USE what I have.

    I'll be joining you. Not being able to let go of things easily is a weakness, but if I am not using it I certainly don't need it!

    I recently went through and paired down my clothing too. I had way too much stuff that either didn't fit right or needed repaired. It made a huge difference to get rid of that stuff.
