2018 Closet Happenings

While every other person I know is watching Marie Kondo Tidying up on Netflix, I have my own method. I edit all the time. I cannot take a bag and "be grateful" and just fill it up. Every single thing that needs to be reviewed was acquired for a reason and it cost me hard earned money. I must take my time. 

Anyhow, for the last couple of years I have been documenting my additions and editions to the closet. 

In terms of 2018 closet edition goals,  was to get rid of at least 180 items. I fell short by 12 items, below is detail.

When it comes to new items in the closet, that is another story. This year my budget had been set at 1,400.00 USD, but I spent 1,953.51 USD, meaning I went over by 446.49 USD. Gulp.

Below are previous years, in case you are curious.

2011 spent 1,994.00

2012  spent 1,725.00

2013 spent 1,860.00

2014 - 610.00 over budget,

2015 spent 2,791.00 

2016 under 2,000.00 

2017 spent 941.00.

Pending to wear from 2018

While I have not done my 2018 purchase recap yet, I did do a spot check on what garments purchased during 2018 are still hanging in the closet unworn. I was surprised and ashamed. The reasons are also worth reviewing. 

1. Needs some type of alteration /repair done.

        

2. I have no clue where they are... maybe in the iron bin?

   

3. Maybe too sporty for my style..

 

4. Have not had the occasion

 

 

 

5. Too fat, no longer fit

  

6. I have no idea

    

 

  

7.  Cannot get the wrinkles out of these

 

After seeing these pending items to be worn, I am feeling a lot of guilt and maybe even shopper's remorse. 
How many items are hanging in your closet NWT? For me it 40.
