Out of the closet: Figuring out what works and what doesn't

Chris cleaned out her closet this week and had some really good insights into why we wind up with so many of the wrong things in our wardrobes. I think part of my problem with clothes is buying things I like, but that a) don’t match anything else I own, b) don’t really fit right, or c) don’t fit my lifestyle. Sadly the last one means coming to terms with the fact that as much as I like blouse type shirts for winter I will NEVER wear them. No more telling myself, “Well, maybe I might wear it if . . . ” No, Chris, when the temperatures are sub zero you will NOT wear that blouse type shirt, no matter where you are going.

Breaking up is hard to do

Off the top of your head, tell me this: how much of your wardrobe do you REALLY wear, on a regular basis? Half? A third? Or, as our own Chris guessed when I asked about her closet, ten percent? Be honest.
