Closet Clean Out: Fin

Finally, the closet clean out has come to an end. It was laborious and exhilarating, but I am 100% happy it is over. I am quite content with the turn out and exited to continue looking at my closet with fresh eyes each and every day. This journey has had a few ups and downs and a lot of me wistfully looking at pieces I thought I loved dearly, however, I needed to just let them go. 

A few more pieces I threw out of my closet.

What happened to all those clothes? And how much did I actually strip from my wardrobe? Currently, I have a trash bag full of clothes from this cleansing. I believe I would actually have two, however, my very dear friends have helped take some off my hands. I mean hand-me-downs are the best ever, don't you think? The rest of what my friends do not wish to take off my hands I will gladly give to Goodwill. I have thought about selling the pieces, but I would rather give them to those who really need them without making a profit. Now if I ever decide to get a bit more out of my closet, I will probably sell those items because they are the better and newer items I have collected. I am honestly just looking to gain some more space in the already cramped closet. 

These past few months have really made me consider what outfits I was creating. What happens if I mix these prints? Do these textures go together? I've never worn this with this. I didn't even realize this went together! How long has this been in here? These were just a few thoughts that would pop into my head nearly every morning. Sometimes I struggled to stay away from my precious go to outfits. There were a few times I did wear outfits in which the pieces had been worn together before, but I can honestly say most of what I have been wearing since I started this journey are items that I had never even seen together before. I am proud of what I have created and extremely satisfied with my closet. I do still believe there are key items missing, but I can finally see what is good about my wardrobe because all I have left are the pieces I wear. 

I would like to thank everyone who has helped me get through this and has cheered me on along the way. It was a learning process for myself and I am glad to share it with you, dear readers and viewers. For outfit posts please check my instagram (elledelfine) and let me know what you think! And share with me what you have been able to put together and outfits that you know will become your new favorite go-to's!
