February Edits and Purchases

I culled out of my closet in February...



Just one of the Color Project: White tops. For now.



This canteloupe colored long Gap cardigan is one of TWO canteloupe/coral long cardigans I somehow owned, and this one was too small in the shoulders. Time to go.



I did not even wait until the end of the Color Project: Red to get rid of this. I tried multiple times to find an outfit for this, and hated every attempt. Too boxy on its own, and the tones were not right under any of my sweaters, even the black and grey ones. See ya!



This edit hurt, mainly because I just bought both of these jeans a few months ago. I got dazzled by a recommendation from another blogger and loved the idea of these jeans without any fasteners at the waistline. No worrying about muffin top or my zipper poking out! It was weird, but it seemed like it would work.



Unfortunately they stretched out so much so fast I ended up looking like I had a guy's junk in the front of my pants. I even bought another smaller pair to see if that helped, but they stretched out too much too. As much as it kills me to have wasted the money on these, I have to cut my losses and get rid of them. They just frustrate and upset me when I see them in my jeans drawer. So they are gone, and I will be more careful in my denim choices in the future.

One of my friends suggested cleaning out makeup drawers. As I think we have to replace our bathroom vanity fairly soon, I may do that in March. It's not just clothes that need editing!

My purchases for February:

Nada. Zilch. Nothing.

Don't be too impressed: I already have several things on order this month. Unless I can go other months this year without buying anything, I have to assume February was a fluke. I am killing the impulse shopping urge, not the need for shopping completely.

Still, I'm kind of impressed I managed to go one month, at least. :)
