Vent: I hate my closet

3 months ago I cleaned out my closet, I was ruthless, and so proud of myself. What happened? I was left with some of my favorite peices that actually fit really well, so everything was all good. But lately getting dressed is so annoying because my closet was reduced to less than half and I feel like I'm always wearing the same thing! My brain is maxed out, I can't come up with any more outfits!

I need to go shopping for more clothes, but I feel guilty now because I'd rather use the money for the house! Ugh. What do you think the chances are of a bag of money just falling from the sky with a note saying:

I'm tired of seeing you wear the rotation of outfits, here's some money for a new wardrobe.

Love, God

Okay, vent over.

Re: Vent: I hate my closet

  • lmfao!!!! i feel you. right now since my belly (and boobies) are growing but not big enough for maternity clothes but yet too big for some shirts, i'm stuck on a routine. 

    hey just go buy certain pieces that you can work into different outfits.  you're good at that. 

  • I totally get how you feel -- lately I've been down to the same 4 pants because they're the only ones that zip and button. But, if you do get one of those bags with a note, make sure to put in a good word for me ;)
  • i myself have put on a few pounds since the wedding, and find some of my clothes fitting tight... i also refuse to go shopping for work clothes, when i am stuck in a classroom all do... so i have a bit of a rotation going myself...

     you can always update things a bit with a few new, inexpensive tops from like forever 21 or NY&Company, Mayc's etc... browse the sale racks and pick up a few new things for a good price to make yourself feel better... it'll help your wardrobe out a bit... and that way you won't feel too guilty about neglecting your house :)

  • I feel your pain. Go to Forever 21, Old Navy, even Target, and try to pick up a few colorful tops in pretty spring colors. That should liven things up without having to spend a ton of money.

  • I did some closet cleaning a few months ago, and it has really helped me when picking out clothes.  And I've stocked up my closet once again ::blushes::  However, I'm of the opinion that "cheap" clothes (i.e., Forever 21, Target) isn't a good solution.  For the most part, it just doesn't fit right, and after a few washes, it doesn't look good either.  I am a huge shopper of the clearance racks.  I usually don't buy anything unless it is on sale, and usually majorly reduced.  So it has helped a lot on the wallet.  I get some basic needed items at great prices that will last a long time.

    Don't get me wrong, I do occassionally shop at Target and other inexpensive stores, but usually only for 'trendy' items that I know will go out of style quickly.

  • LMAO love the bag of money. I agree with the other girls, there are the cheaper stores that do have good stuff and alot of the department stores are having alot of sales. I went to JCpenny the other day and got $200 worth of stuff for $75.
  • I feel your pain! Can you believe I moved into my house 4 months ago and I oganized my closet exactly how I wanted it. Well its only been 4 months and its already a mess! lol
