I know I am not the only one who looks in her wardrobe this many months into the 'demic and sighs. Oh the items I have no reason to wear anymore, the clothes that no longer fit, and also the items I bought out of desperation/frustration/boredom/desire for newness that hardly get worn because they were bought on impulse without really considering lifestyle, body, and needs. As I was putting away clean laundry yesterday, I was thinking about the pieces I have that I wear over and over. The ones I yank out of the laundry basket before I even put away the clothes because I want to wear it again. The pieces I put on when I want to be comfortable, when I want to be cute, when I want to feel strong, when I want to feel comforted. So I started making a list, a bit as a reminder of what I already have, and a bit to remind myself of what works and if I need to shop, need more that works with these personal wardrobe essentials. And then I thought, as this exercise was helpful for me, I should share the list to show what wardrobe items I'm really grateful for in 2020 to all of you, and invite you to share what items in your closet you find you're really grateful for this year!
