welcome to camp telophase

Yesterday we ran by the Container Store for clear plastic boxes for the closet--the previous weekend we Kondoed the shit out of our master closet. Technically we Reesed the shit out of the closet as I was inspired by Anuschka Rees' The Curated Closet, which is about figuring out your personal style and building a wardrobe around that. Only we skipped the first half, which involves things like taking photos of yourself for two weeks and writing down how what you wore made you feel to figure out what you feel most comfortable in because we already have a handle on that. I basically wear a uniform 90% of the time--soft pants, plain shirt or camisole/tank under a cardigan, mostly in greys, blacks, burgundies, and rose--but it gave me permission to get rid of the stuff I just don't wear, and tools to figure out what the holes in my wardrobe were (like I don't have a black cami/tank shirt, and I didn't have a white one) and info on how to evaluate the quality of the fabric and construction.
