Ack, I am lagging on posting updates, I am going to try to be better! Been a busy couple weeks. I am helping a client downsize his garage, which has turned out to be a huge task! And last weekend, I helped out the same client whose kitchen we tackled. This time it was the living room area where you first walk into from the front door entrance. It was a big job, and we completed about 65% of it. We had 2 garbage bags this time around, and then a keep and an "out the door" box. We invited her son to join us so he could help make decisions about his toys. Then we moved the TV from one side of the living room to the other, and re-situated all of the furniture to create a new room - very much like HGTV's Design on A Dime. We skipped meeting this weekend because of the Superbowl, and hopefully we will pick up where we left off next Saturday.

On another note, here is another "Look for Less" outfit I wore out about 2 weeks ago to a birthday dinner.


The houndstooth dress/tunic was a thrift shop find - brand is Exhilaration from Target - the girl sitting next to me at dinner thought it was vintage:-) Anyways, it was $3 from a local thrift shop because it was "half off" day, and then my $6 Charlotte Russe leggings, and my $5 boots from Charlotte Russe, for a grand total of $14!:-)

This weekend, I am not working, and am taking the time to go through my closet and "process" more clothing that is waiting to go into it:-) What this means is that I pulled a box of clothes from downstairs and am going to try everything on to decide what I want to keep. Last week, after doing some laundry, I went to put away 3 items in my closet, and was disgusted by how full it was. I quickly glanced around, and within 30 seconds, I grabbed 6 tops that I had either never worn, or hadn't worn in more than 6 months. I tried each one on to see if I could let any of them go, and I can't believe it - 5 of the 6 I decided to purge! I think it's because I know there are much better items waiting to get a coveted spot in my closet!:-)
