They went in my "What was I thinking of" pile. Some of the other things went in the off-season linen chest, and were replaced by summer frocks. So it's all looking a little bit different now. Still haven't finished the clear out though. xxxPolyester Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602613792584925087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833738977646898455.post-58513745005983010862016-04-20T12:51:28.876+02:002016-04-20T12:51:28.876+02:00I put very few clothes away seasonally, just the b...I put very few clothes away seasonally, just the bits which are obviously summery like my ice cream sundae skirt and thin summer tops which can't be winterised.

I'm getting so many compliments for my blue trousers, I think I should start wearing them again. Just not boring black ones, though. xxxPolyester Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602613792584925087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833738977646898455.post-78079878927422263812016-04-18T19:10:16.618+02:002016-04-18T19:10:16.618+02:00Oooh, I love that tie-neck frock!

I tend to wear most of my clothes all year round, so for instance I'll wear a white linen skirt with a heavy knit jumper in the winter.

That made me grin ear-to-ear. I've had clean out like that's too - as well as ones that resulted in piles like "seriously, why did I buy four nearly identical black button front shirts, none of which I really love" or "ugh, the mountain of woefully ill fitting pants". That's so much of the point of a good wardrobe purge though isn't it. Parting ways with those items that no longer speak to us, even if we once adored them, and making room for future purchases that will hopefully spark something in us for a long time to come.<br /><br />Great blue and yellow outfit! I really like your royal blue trousers. <br /><br />Many hugs & happy wishes for the second half of April,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833738977646898455.post-30457570890698952662016-04-16T20:08:47.935+02:002016-04-16T20:08:47.935+02:00I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one too ...I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one too ...
