End of Week One!

 

It’s been one week! It has been a great week, I have so much motivation to go through my closet and make everything look spick and span (?)! I went through all my drawers and then made it to my shoes (which were previously lying all over my closet floor) I started brainstorming about a better place to store them. I looked on pinterest and googled some options! I finally saw this old piece of furniture on google which happened to look exactly like one we found in our basement when we moved! It was tons of separate cubby holes-perfect for storing shoes. We have it in our office room but this sparked an idea! I could make part of the office kind of like a dressing room! I put all my shoes in the cubbies and moved my full length mirror in there, moved all my jewelry and found a lamp in my parents garage! I used a huge wire bird cage to store all my scarves and used some baskets to hold belts! It’s perfect! I get dressed in my room and then go in there and have all my accessories in one place! I am also thinking about having a peg to hang one outfit at a time in there… So far there is only excitement for this journey! Some things below I found on a blog and really wanted to remember them throughout this year. I plan to write or print them out and hang them in my new “dressing room” as a reminder of the purpose of this journey! Here’s to another great week! I have been documenting a few outfits but the pictures are not good quality because I have been using my iphone!

 Oh, God, when I have food,
help me to remember the hungry;
When I have work, help me to remember the jobless;
When I have a warm home,
help me to remember the homeless;
When I am without pain,
help me to remember those who suffer;
And, remembering, help me
to destroy my complacency
and bestir my compassion.
Make me concerned enough
to help, by word and deed,
those who cry out.

“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”

“Use the project as a way to grow and understand that the hard parts are the ones that are doing the best work in your soul…”

“This project isn’t just about clothes, it’s about engendering thoughtful dialogue, introspection, a better way of life, and, hopefully, a growing community of people who are interested in what it might look like to move a little away from our consumeristic mindset towards the way we dress, and in a larger sense, the way we live.” -The Twenty Pieces Project

“The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become.”

IDEA OF THE WEEK: DYE MY TOMS!

This picture was inspiration for my outfit today! I wore a floral top with a striped cardigan and belt. Patterns can be worn together!
