I wore this outfit for Sunday church and absolutely loved the long flowing  skirt. When I walked it  flowed behind me and almost swept the floor. It gave me such a womanly feel.

Here is the deal people: I am tired of being a victim of advertising! I am tired of falling for every new sale and not wearing everything I have... I'm tired of going shopping only because I have nothing better to do... I'm tired of going to the store only because I have another 20% OFF coupon... SIGH... Therefore I have decided to come clean and step into a new direction - having a closet full of things I can put together and work with, every single day. To reach my goal I am starting a new project called Love What You Have.

So here is what happened:
- I admitted I have a little problem... well, maybe not so little. I couldn't stop shopping for clothes/shoes/bags/belts/scarfs/jewelry. GASP!
-  I did a little closet purging and got rid of all the stuff I haven't worn in about a year. Then I put away all the winter/fall stuff (it was sad to part).
- I went though my closet again and made sure that I can wear every single item with at least another item, and got rid of couple more things.
-  Then I took pictures of all the stuff I have and realized that I have enough to last me through the entire summer (gasp!) without ever(!) stepping foot into a store.

GOAL:
--For the next 30 DAYS I am not going to buy a single thing! Making this decision public is going to help me be accountable! I will post pictures of outfits everyday to remind myself that I have what I need and more.

Here I go Loving What I Have
