Two tops, a belt and sandals all for $34.36!

This was a busy month as I moved from a wardrobe focused on attire appropriate for the workplace (even during the pandemic when I was working from home, I dressed in my normal work attire) to a more casual summer wardrobe. Here are the items I purchased at my local Goodwill along with their prices:

I found this beautiful Ann Taylor 100% cotton black blouse. I'm able to pair it with my white shorts and blue jeans:

$5.29. (Plastic "turquoise" necklace previously purchased used)

I was also excited to finally have a top with which I could wear the turquoise necklace. I'd purchased it years ago, holding on to the hope that I'd eventually have something I could wear it with!

I needed a belt to go with the utility skirt I'd purchased in July:

Stretchy woven belt with leather trim: $3.49

Here's a photo of the belt with the skirt:

I also purchased this top in August (pictured previously in this blog post):

$8.29. (Replacing another top that cost $4.29, so true cost was $12.58)

Finally, I needed to replace my falling-apart summer flipflops. I generally buy my shoes new, but I was willing to look at used first. These were not purchased at Goodwill; instead, I visited a consignment store nearby that holds very high standards for the shoes they'll accept for sale. With the help of a friend, I found these beautiful WHBM sandals that looked like they'd never been worn:

$13.00

Total expenses for the month of August: $34.36.

Gift-Giving and The Problem with Stuff

Most of us, let's be honest, are drowning in stuff. While minimalist Joshua Becker's post was written several years ago, I suspect that the statistics he cites, described below, have only gotten worse. TOO MUCH STUFF 1. The average household owns 300,000 items. Wow. 2. 32% of households only have room to park one car in a two-car garage (one in four can't park any car in their garage). 3. One out of ten of us rents offsite storage to deal with our excess stuff. As of March of 2020, there was 5.4 square feet of offsite storage space for every man, woman and child living in the U.S. 4. Even with all the stuff we have, we don't have enough money . I created this blog to encourage us all to be more conscious consumers of clothing - to consider buying quality clothing second-hand and to be more thoughtful about how much of it we really need. The goal is to keep our clothing from becoming just more stuff that's out of control. Naturally, these concepts go beyond cloth...

Having Enough (Thanksgiving Edition)

I culled my closet a couple of weeks ago, inspired again by Courtney Carver's Project 333 to limit my clothes only to what I intend to wear over the next (in my case) four months. Everything else got put into drawers or taken to an unused closet upstairs. While I'm sure I've gotten some things wrong (I just haven't figured out what they are yet), it feels like a revelation to walk into my closet: Not too much, and not too little, it's exactly enough. The "Fulfillment Curve" from Your Money or Your Life (Dominguez & Robin) What does having "enough" clothing look like? When I left my job as a financial advisor, I no longer had "enough" clothes. I had plenty of clothing for meeting with clients in person; I also had workout clothing and a couple of more formal dresses. But I didn't have anywhere near enough clothing to meet my new daily circumstances of hanging around the house, meeting with a friend or running errands. I'v...

What I bought in September and October - and for how little

I've been slowly revamping my wardrobe, moving from a professional one to a more casual wardrobe. I got through the hot summer months here in Phoenix, then it was time to plan ahead for cooler weather. In a previous post, Curate Your Fall Wardrobe in Three Steps , I set up a shopping list of things I wanted to purchase for my fall wardrobe: A nice jean jacket - $15 - $20 Dark-wash (nice) skinny blue jeans - $10 - $15 (I might need to purchase new) Two to three heavier-weight long-sleeve tops - $5 to $8 each Mid-weight jacket, sweater or poncho for colder days - $15 - $20 Leggings to go under black t-shirt dress (I'll likely purchase these new): $15 I figured I would spend between $70 and $94 over the course of the two months. Reality diverged a bit from plan (as it always does), and I had a few fails, discussed below, but here's what I purchased and for how much: Midweight jacket purchased half price at Goodwill for $4.45 Two heavier-weight long-sleeved tops purchased at G...
