going through the accessories...

while i post a lot about going through your closets...and going through your drawers...quite often...as i feel that it is a necessity...not only to remind you of what you have...those items that you haven't worn...because they have somehow moved to the farthest recesses of your closet...

same goes for accessories...

i recently quickly perused through one drawer of mine that holds a lot of my jewelry...it was time to get rid of some of it...and what do you know...while i was looking through this drawer...i came across some pieces that i just forgot about...and realized that i need to do a thorough audit of what i currently have...

for me...as for many...i don't have a lot of space for my baubles...but i have lots of baubles...so they get crammed in a drawer...because if i stored them out in the open...like i would like to...my room would be taken over by jewelry...

the point is...your accessories need to be analyzed from time to time...this includes your baubles...your scarves...your handbags...pick one and start with just that...for instance...if you start with scarves...take them all out...look them over...start sorting...

 - do they currently go with any of the clothes in your closet?

 - do you have all the scarves you need - think casual, dressy etc?

 - do you have too many of one color?

 - are you missing a key color that would work well with your items in the closet?

one of two things will/should happen...you will either find some that you just know you won't be wearing...get rid of them...no reason for them to take up space...or...you will find some that you had forgotten about...and start rotating them into your wardrobe...

then pick another accessory...jewelry...do the same...as with your clothes...everything needs to be looked at...and decided on...whether to keep or donate...

but the funnest part...is when you see pieces that you had forgotten about...and now can proudly wear them...again...
