have a wardrobe full of clothes I actually love and that fit

So, I haven’t allowed myself to have that fabulous shopping spree after all. I guess money is tight now, but I’m trying to pick up a few thing here and there. I really have to put away my warm weather clothes this weekend and make another trip to donate things that I will not wear. I have to let go of the cute things that I cannot fit into anymore. I should buy some basic pieces that fit and that will carry me through the season. I guess I never know what that weather really is in L.A. The weather has been drastically changing on a weekly basis, which is the main reason why I haven’t put my summer/spring clothes away. Oh, wells!!!

I guess I never went on the spring shopping spree that I allowed myself to have. I’m not sure where that extra money went either. I guess there have been a lot of unexpected expenses that popped up, but I finally paid off my car. I guess that sense of freedom feels a little better than the new wardrobe that I passed up on. I did buy a few things for my vacation and have been picking up some things here and there. I’m in an in between stage with my weight; so, I’ll put off my shopping spree until after I get into shape. I’ll also go back to decluttering since I put that on hold for awhile. :)

In an effort to declutter and organize my life, I did get rid of an excess of clothes that didn’t fit, were out of date, and that just took up space. I found that I really only wear a small percentage of the clothes that I own. I did say that I would allow myself a spring shopping spree as a reward for my commitment to frugality. Since I paid off all of my credit card bills at the very end of last year and have been trying hard to put every additional penny I have towards paying my car off so that I could be debt free. I found that my appearance has been suffering and I was comfortable with it. Well, now, it’s spring and I have to invest in some new clothes and pay more attention to how I look. I do have to go to a new client on Monday and I have to look professional.

Anyway, I’ve been exercising more and my clothes that I do own are starting to fit better. I just have to look at the small improvements and keep going. I was so motivated yesterday that I went to 2 cardio classes back to back! Woohoo! I can still get rid of a lot more clothes that I do not fit into anymore, but wish I could. I think I will myself a time limit as to how much longer I could hold onto them. Otherwise, I’ll just have to accept that it’s not going to happen anytime soon, but I could always get new things when I do lose the weight. Yeah, I think that works. I’ll give it about 6 months.
