Day 64: Binge and Purge....my closet, Outfit 4

Its that time peoples....Spring Cleaning is upon us....ugh. I hate this, but it is time to get rid of some clothes that need to stop cluttering up my beautiful closets (yes I said closets, remember that I have two....moo-hoo-hoo-ha-ha..that's my evil doer laugh in case you didn't know)
Here are the Closets (ha ha still love that is plural!) BEFORE pictures:





I've confessed a lot to you people in the past 63 days so why stop now. <long sigh> I love LC (or Lauren Conrad to those that don't know) I love her style, her hair, her makeup, her acting....well maybe not the acting but I do think she is all that. So much I spent $17 on her book "Style" with some of my Christmas money.
In Chapter 4 is entitled "Mastering Your Closet" part one: Editing Your Closet.
I divided my clothes into clothes into 6 categories:
1. Toss (any thing stained or ripped beyond repair, in my case this was one pair of duct taped gloves, 1 pair of camo shorts with a huge rip in the crotch, 2 smelly undershirts, and one really grungy swimsuit.
2. Donate (when you try something on and you are completely over it within the first two seconds in my case two hole bags full!)
3. Fix (clothes destined for the tailors, in my case, i want to turn capris into shorts, and take my favorite tan boots to the shoe-fixer-man to see if he can salvage the heel. I know they are scuffed on the end and missing  part of one of the heels, but they are comfortable and I can't part with them. They are staying!
4. ??? (when you try something on and realize you haven't worn it in at least a year but don't feel ready to part with it, put it in a duffel bag and put it under your bed I only had one item that I was ??? about, it was a pair of holey gray skinny bootcut Hurley jeans, I decided I liked them)
5. Cleaners (duh, stuff that stays but needs to be taken to the cleaners, like my two DVF dresses that desperately need the help of a dry cleaners. Hopefully this will remind me to do it!
6. Sell (so Lauren doesn't have this category cuz, well she's a multimillionaire but us girls that live in the real world have to have this category. These are clothes that you spent a lot of money on (I went through a ridiculous size 2 phase and hopefully will never be that unhealthy again, barely worn jeans that I think I can get some money out of...Plato's Closet here we come!)




And here is the happy closets after their purging!!

Ok these pictures don't do it justice but it is better. Plus I got all my summer clothes out of hiding (you can't see it but all my happy dresses were in the corner of the 2nd closet and i swear I could hear them crying at night...now they are in my main closet and happy as clams!  I also got all my sweaters put away, but still I have easy access for these crazy (but beautiful) Colorado weather. Bonus: all my 30 for 30 clothes and shoes are stage right, easy access and visibility.
