Wildfang button down, cutest niece ever
Fat Tuesday is tomorrow (!!!!) and I’m already thinking about spring weather and what I will be wearing. Once the costumes have been packed away and the wigs have been combed out, I’m going to start boxing up my heavier winter wear and start unboxing my spring and summer wardrobe. I box all of my out-of-season clothes up for a few reasons, the primary reason being tiny closets. I live in a 100+ year old house, which means my closets are spare in size. The other reason is that if I’m staring at my clothes year round I get bored with them quicker, even if I’m not wearing them. I highly suggest you rotate your closet. It seems overly simplistic, but I guarantee you’ll benefit from a streamlined wardrobe.
There is no method to my boxing technique. I make sure everything is freshly laundered before storing it away; I even pack up my out-of-season pajamas and workout clothes, like flannel nighties and my thicker leggings. When I pull a box out, I like to assess whether or not I want to keep my clothes. If I’m not immediately excited to wear a piece again it goes into a sell pile. I hate wasted space, so why not trade that tired sundress in for something I’ll actually wear? That said, I do hang onto certain items, such as my sweet vintage western button downs. I haven’t worn them in years but they’re one of a kind and I’m not sure I would find anything comparable within my budget again.
