It's always dangerous to give away an off-season item. It could be that next summer, I will want this white shirt with little embroidered white polka dots. It's a cute shirt, leftover from the time when Sarah Jessica Parker had her own line of clothing sold exclusively at Steve and Barry's--a strange store I only went to two or three times. The only problem with the shirt was that it was a little too see-through. I always felt a bit uncomfortable in it for that reason. With any luck, it won't be missed by me at all and it will become another woman's favorite new summer shirt.
The thing I value about choosing one item to donate or one charity to give to per day is that I really have to think about it. Even if today I wasn't ready to give away that black blazer with black pants (When am I ever going to really wear that? When I join the CIA?) that have been hanging in the back corner of my closet, I may be ready to give those away this summer when I won't be able to fathom putting on something heavy and black.
Wouldn't it be amazing to own a closet full of clothes that were all favorites? Clothes that all fit well, were comfortable, and made you feel good. Is it possible?
