In Between Days

Wednesday. 

So, while Kev nipped down to the village to get a few bits we needed, I set to and went through my wardrobe and drawers, culling a few things that I will no longer wear, t-shirts and tops that have been lurking unworn in the back of the wardrobe and drawers. Another bin bag for him to Lug to the recycling banks when we go down past the leisure centre. 

I'm a bit more ruthless than I used to be, as there are only certain things I wear now. It's still predominantly black, but all my going out "goth" clobber is gone now, I loved wearing it at the time, but we rarely go out anywhere like that now if at all, so, it was wasted sitting in my wardrobe when it could be being used on a regular basis. 

As I said yesterday, I'm working towards having a capsule wardrobe of clothes, that reflect what we do now. Going out these days is more smart casual, maybe a little nod to my gothic interests, and I will always choose black for the main of my favourite outfits. Do I miss wearing my goth stuff, yes and no, I miss being young enough to clomp about in New Rocks and romantic dramatic outfits, but I don't miss being uncomfortable just to look good, restrictive corsets ( no matter how fab they looked) and trying to go to the loo in them. 

My colour palette hasn't changed, colours tend be purple or red. But since my fall I tend to wear more trousers and long dresses. And since I no longer have to wear a uniform for work, I live in jeans and tees at home. My t-shirt collection grew exponentially when we came back from Florida as we bought a lot out there, we really only took shorts with us, and to be honest I'd do it again. Going out there we were well under our allowance weight wise and when we came back we were bang on the limit. The only thing I wouldn't do again is bring back the sippers and popcorn bucket as although they were light, they were bulky and rook up so much space.
