Do you ever think about the things you hold onto? The things that you just are never ready to let go of? Sometimes I look through my closet or cupboards trying to figure out what to purge and what to save and there are some things I just can't let go of!
It's the craziest stuff, too. Like the skirt I wore to my college graduation. Or the Popples glasses I got at Goodwill and used in my first apartment. The indoor soccer shoes I got in 5th grade (that still fit) even though I haven't played indoor in years.
Then there is other stuff that is so dispensable to me. Like a sweater I never even tried on after receiving it as a gift. (Thank God I didn't get rid of that one...2 years later Plato's Closet didn't take it and I am very thankful for that.) I don't know exactly what warrants an item being "trash" or "keeper."
This outfit is the perfect mixture of old and new. I think sometimes old things gain new life from the breath of new. Is that too deep for humpday?
Since it's Random Wednesday, I thought I would share with you what I got in my January CARA box. This month's CARA box was supposed to inspire and prepare us to maintain our goals/resolutions. Ironically, I had Taber and we had very similar goals in that we both love running. Check out her blog if you want to see what I got her! Sweet Jess sent me my thoughtful package.
She filled my box with a nice, new water bottle to rehydrate. She put almonds inside to refuel. She put energy drink in to reenergize, candles to relax, and some note pads for blogging purposes!
I love everything, Jess! Thank you so so much!
Wait - you have Popples glasses? I remember Popples as a kid.... wow I don't think I could part with those either.

I have kicked myself for letting some stuff go to Plato's Closet! That's why it has taken me so long to clean out my closet! I hate letting stuff go because you just never know! You got hooked up with your Cara Box! Yay!!
ReplyDeleteComing to return the visit. Cute blog and awesome Cara Box gifts!! I noticed that you like to watch the Real Housewives... a little secret revealed MEEE TOOOO! My husband thinks I'm addicted...I think he's right :) Have a wonderful Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteLins! Your bangs look SO good!! And I"m with you, I have a hard time parting with things...sometimes though it does feel good to clear out and refresh :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the Peter Pan neckline of the top. The skirt is really pretty too!
ReplyDeleteI wore the same skirt, with a mustard sweater, on Tuesday. It has the same fabric self-belt and everything. WOAH.
ReplyDeletelove these colors! Is that skirt wool? It's really cute! I agree...you def got hooked up on the Cara Box, how fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this! I was just examining my closet and thinking I would be a hoarder if it wasn't organized. Now I feel better about it. xoxo
