So, how did I end up with this kicky little black summer dress after my closet clean out?  You may have read my last blog post about the day the new jammies came home to live and the unused and unloved clothes had to pack up and go.  But where did they go?  First, I started out with a big pile on my closet floor as I tried clothes on and found out which ones weren’t working out. 

Even though I am apparently so not cool, my oldest child gave me the benefit of the doubt that I might have some things she might like to wear.  So, a few things were passed on to her.  Maybe I do have a little bit of cool in there somewhere; naw, I’m sure she’ll never admit to it.  A large majority of items went into a big, black bag for a future donation drop off.  Then, there were a few select or name brand pieces that I thought I should at least have a local consignment shop give a go at.  So, I hung those items back up on hangers and headed to the consignment shop in the next town over. 

Right away I spotted some cute earrings and then, well, I love dresses!  So, I thumbed through the dress rack and had a handful of items to try on.  By the time I was done, I had credit for a few of my items which I used toward a skirt, those cute earrings and the above sassy little dress.  The rest of the items that were not accepted, I just left with the store owner for her to donate.  So, was that ok for me to bring new items back home?  Of course!  I organized my closet and parted with way more items then I brought in; it’s all good!
