closet drama.

hi there!  sorry for my absence (again) but things are really picking up around here... we had a wonderful time in keystone last weekend and are anxiously awaiting the arrivals of our cousins e & p on thursday morning.  so i'm cramming a week's worth of homework into about three days to enjoy a glorious five day weekend with them thursday through monday!  whooo!  since i last wrote, spring has arrived (for now)!  everything is starting to come alive and bloom outside... of course we are supposed to get snow tomorrow, so we'll see how long this lasts.

here in colorado, this is what we call spring.  spring, much like fall, is a but schizophrenic.  today it is 80, and tomorrow it's supposed to snow (not kidding).  so while you need your summer clothes out for days like today, i can't pack my sweaters up just yet due to the random snow and occasional rain.  today, i spent the morning doing just that - going through all my clothes.  i swore to myself that this time i would really chuck things out, but there are some things i just can't get rid of.

but it goes beyond clothes.  it's about who you are now versus who you were a year ago.  and being honest with your self about it.  it's very hard to do, especially for me.  i have a very - versatile - sense of style.  i've been a bit of a chameleon - i've had every color hair except blonde (and this includes red, purple and blue).  i've been the preppy girl.  i've been the 'college girl.'  but now that i'm a bit older, cleaning out my closet can feel like taking a tour of who i used to be.

it's funny how much my style has grown and evolved as i've gotten older.  but i can't help but hold on to some of those old pieces that remind me of past lives... you never know, right?

dresses, dresses everywhere... 

how could i ever part with any of these beauties?

i told myself that this year, i wouldn't just get rid of worn out clothes.  i'd also get rid of clothes i hadn't worn all season and anything that is unflattering on me.  but sometimes, i just can't say no...

my first marc jacobs sweater. hate the pink but can't get rid of it.

pants i bought in marrakech, can't say no!

sweater i bought in copenhagen, really unflattering but warm.

the most awesome leather skirt. has a little tear in the back, but i'll fix it... someday.

my favorite dress of all time. can't fit into it now, but i hope to again someday :)

til next time... xoxo
