Ohmigosh y’all, I got a wild hair last night and pulled about eight bags of clothes out of my closet. I was inspired by my good friend who said she cleaned out her closet and it felt so good to let go of all the things you save because you “might” wear it someday. <\/p>\n
Just a few of the oh so special things I pulled: <\/p>\n
–A black velvet “duster” with wide lapels and a satin liner. Don’t laugh at me – I begged my Mom for it in high school. It was from the store RAMPAGE and was like $70 or something! I LOVED that coat. It was super cool at the time! I PROMISE. (To really bug me, my older brother Evan used to say, “Oh, are you going on a RAMPAGE??”) <\/p>\n
–A brown corduroy skirt with orange paisley trim that was actually a knock-off of a Marc Jacobs skirt I saw in Neiman’s on Michigan Avenue. I had been in Chicago for less than a year, and yes, I would wander through NM from time to time. $300 was certainly too much for a skirt – but lucky me! I found the $38 version at a boutique on Belmont Avenue. <\/p>\n
–Hot pink ballet crocs. ?????? <\/p>\n
–An Esprit black “suit”. I wore this to all of my graduate school auditions. Why I have kept it I’ll never know. It is so teeny, CHARLIE could wear it. <\/p>\n
Vann swears I gave up all of the really good stuff when we moved out of the condo before Charlie was born. He just reminded me of a dress that had cartoon characters on it??? I don’t remember said dress, but I’m not surprised. If it was trendy, I wore it. I frequented Contempo, Wet Seal, Rampage, you name it. And although I DO still shop at Forever 21 from time to time, I promise I’m only getting the really cute stuff. No striped neon, no mesh shirts. <\/p>\n
Wait a minute… Did I just say “mesh shirt”?? <\/p>\n
Yes. Yes, I did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
