Happy New Year, everyone!
January is the time for resolutions, so these are my fashion promises to myself, inspired by the ever-delightful Lady Sarah’s blog:
- I will not save my “good” stuff for special occasions; I will create opportunities to use and enjoy them
- I will purge my wardrobe of items I don’t wear, except for things I will wear when I:
- Lose those pesky pandemic pounds
- I will avoid sale temptation, unless it’s something I truly need and would buy at full price
- I will not kid myself that something that looks fabulous on a 20-year-old model or “influencer” will look the same on a septuagenarian
Abruptly changing topics:
Recently, friends got rid of their massage chair because it made “weird” noises. I immediately wondered: “Weird, how? Did it moan, or what?!” And can we expect similar commentary from other home items, e.g., a burping refrigerator, a computer that shrieks when it reveals our bank balance, a coffee machine that gets progressively louder if one drinks too much caffeine??
The mind boggles. Time to rearrange my closet.

I needed this laugh. My wife is also going through her closet, looking for something to wear that might be more of a throwback, but I’m staying silent. OK, she looks beautiful.

Ditch the items under “Lose those pesky pandemic pounds” you don’t need that pressure. However, if you feel like you need motivation, ask yourself did I wear this item at least four times a month pre-pandemic? Does this item make me feel fabulous? If you said, yes to both it’s a keeper.
