I am so impressed you listed 60 SLGs! Good luck with your sales!
Great job on the challenges!
Thanks dear dc!
Well done on your January challenges!
Thanks for the kind words Sparkletastic.
Great work in January, especially avoiding the sales!WOW - busy around here!!
CONGRATS to all the amazing successes. I just got caught up on the last couple-three days of posts with everyones challenge and stats updates.
January challenges:
New Year New Bag - achieved!
Love it or List it - also achieved! Except - the bag that I was focused on selling, my Nomad, did not sell; two other bags did and I traded one. Need to get back to listing and to do another wardrobe purge.
January stats:
3 bags out 1 bag in (trade)
2 bags ordered (MM final sale)
0 SLGs in and 0 SLGs out
0 clothes, shoes, or jewelry purchases <--that one was really difficult to stick with given the most sale-y time of year!
Since it has been beyond busy here, I am still in my bag 3 of New Year New Bag and will keep her for today with the idea of red in mind. There are other reds lurking, though, that deserve some love!
January Stats:
Bags In: 0
Bags Out: 0
SLGs In: 0
SLGs Out: 0
I did, however, buy some clothes.I was really tired of all my clothes being big and baggy on me, so I did a ruthless closet purge and then went out and bought some smaller jeans & pants, a sweater, a few tees, and a couple of nice tops.
We also have a gala event coming up in May, and I bought a dressy cocktail dress. I was very pleased that the size six not only fit, but was a bit loose. No Spanx necessary, and I'll actually be able to eat dinner that night!
Woot!
That’s awesome! [emoji4]
Thanks Elaine, I started counting things in and out as a way to ensure my closet wasn’t growing in size. I began tracking my wardrobe items and my wears a few years ago. I am trying to have less come in and more go out. It also helps me be accountable to address things I am not wearing - why am I not wearing it, try it on again, assess pros and cons, make a decision, etc. At the end of the day, I want to be wearing and loving what I have in my closet!Wow, you've done GREAT on the challenges, the purchases (non-purchases, I should say!) and for sure on the decluttering front!
What a terrific idea to track the total number of items that have exited your house. I wish I had done this! I've been clearing things out like crazy, but I have no idea how many things have been given the boot. Certainly not as many as 190!
Now when it comes to dealing with paperwork, I have a long way to go.
Thanks lynne_ross!
I listed 2 more bags today. So, I have a total of 5 listed.
I did a quick check of prices on my red Prada DZT. Ack! They’re horrible. So I shan’t be selling that bag for any reason. More motivation to enjoy it and rotate. Lol!
I’m a little frustrated with people. I’m selling an area rug. I had an apt at 10 today for someone to come by. They no showed after confirming this morning.
So, I contacted the person who begged me to let them know if the first person didn’t come. Though we had agreed on a selling price they tried to get me to cut it in half. When I said no, we agreed to a price and that is what I’m selling it for, they actually said I needed to “get over myself” and just sell the rug.
Has any sense of civility completely been abandoned on the Earth??? Why be nasty? And, how did they expect the transaction to go if we met in person after that ignorance? SMH!?
This is yet another reason why I don’t want to sell things anymore. People can be so idiotic and mean spirited.

This!
I follow someone's blog whose style I like (it's one of those "fashion over fifty" sites, lol) and she has some good advice on the subject of only having what you love in your closet. In fact, I like her thinking so much that I've purchased one of her books, which is out of print, so I've purchased a used copy. It should be here in a week or two. It has recommendations for getting out of fashion "ruts," evaluating what you do & don't wear, using color effectively, and so on. Of course, there are tons of books that do this, and do it well... I just wanted some fresh ideas, especially about using color, since I tend to default to black!

No, not really. We're actually very nice here on tPF... at least on most of the threads. So there's hope!
I had to chide DH today when he didn't say thank you at the Jack in the Box takeout window!Yes. All sense of civility has completely been abandoned on the earth.

Ugh I hate when people do that. I just walk away when stuff like that happens. Not worth the negative energy on those folks.I listed 2 more bags today. So, I have a total of 5 listed.

That sounds like a fantastic book! Raising my hand, black is my favourite “colour!” I sometimes coordinate it with my second favourite .... grey!This!

I never wore black much until recently. Once I started buying colorful purses, my wardrobe because less colorful. Now I often dress in all black with the only pop of color being my purse.That sounds like a fantastic book!

My January stats:
In - 1 (counting my final Massaccesi order that would probably arrive in April)
Out - 0
SLG: 1 wallet in (One wallet woman here!)
For the challenges, I only actually aimed for New Year New Bag and that was a success for all 3 bags! I accomplished 14 in 31 though I really knew this was not a real challenge since I used 10 bags or more for each month of 2018 except in December (only 9) when I went on my vacation.
Not sure yet which challenge for February.
