The purging has continued and, happily, it's starting to become more noticeable. My closet isn't necessarily much emptier but its (mostly) filled with items I like to wear. There will be a bit more culling done but its gotten to the point where I'm not sure which of the remaining items can go so I've re-hung everything with the hangers facing the opposite way (this is sometimes referred to as Oprah's hanger trick). After about 2 months, anything that is still left hanging in that direction will be sent to the thrift store.
There isn't much excitement going on so I thought I'd add a picture of what I'm wearing today while bumming around the house waiting for a call from Scheduling (ignore my house shoes/slippers!). What I've realized is that the clothes I tend to reach for most are black, grey, white, blue or denim and that my sense of style is pretty casual although I try not to end up looking sloppy. The fleece blazer/swing coat here is a departure from that colour scheme because of the orange stripe but I really like it because its comfy and more put-together than a hoody. It's been great for travelling and I can even wear it at the office so we'll see if I start pulling it out of the closet more often. I think this outfit is pretty typical for me on a day off. If I was headed into the world I'd grab my black tote bag and black boots (if snow didn't force me into giant Sorels).
