On Saturday, I took Angie's advice, and purged many of my problem orphans. In fact I went further. On Friday I'd read the "Stylish minimalist wardrobe" series here, and decided I was inspired to try a slightly more minimal wardrobe.
So I purged my "probation" zone, and moved into probation everything that wasn't black, white, gray, red (any dark shade, and I kept a couple of orange items out) or blue (any shade, including teal and turquoise), and anything that was patterned with a pattern other than stripes or plaid. We'll see how long it takes me to get tired of what's left! (My guess is that this won't be a long experiment - but it does include all of my favorites, so we'll see).
So to church yesterday, I wore what proved to be a new favorite - black and white striped tube skirt (the camera angle makes it look longer than it was, or I hiked it up later - I'm not sure - but it hit at the widest point of my calves, to make them look a little curvier), and my burgundy cowl neck sweater. Happiness factor was high in this, yay!
What do you think? Is this combo a winner? What should I do to improve it?
