A Vintage Outfit Post: Vintage + Polka Dots

A few days ago I had posted on twitter that my goal by the end of May is to reduce my closet by 50%. That is no small feat! I don't have nearly as many clothes as one might think I should have, but it is kind of a ridiculous number. Lately I've kind of been disgusted with the abundance of crap I've just accumulated.


The past few weeks I've noticed my wardrobe choices have all centered around the same 20-40 pieces and I think I need to keep these 20-40 and put the rest away and if after one month's time I haven't missed it, wondered where it was, or pined for it to be back in my hands...then it's time to let it go.

I don't feature "what i wore" posts that often mostly because taking photos of myself is kind of a pain in the ass and I just feel sort of like a big headed bigot when I do write the post (like right now I'm reading what I'm writing and totally rolling my eyes...) but I have noticed when I DO an outfit post and recap on what I wore I realize I actually already wore some of these pieces earlier this week with different things.

Anyhow... long story short, I've worn these shorts 3 times in the past 2 weeks. And I've worn these shoes 4 times in the past week. And they grey henley shirt not pictured I've worn twice this week. And the vintage satchel bag I wear every day!

Maybe it's because I'm a vintage shop owner so I have natural tendencies to be a bit of a hoarder. I mean SOMEDAY all my old Marc Jacobs, DVF, and Betsey Johnson dresses WILL be vintage. But man oh man am I craving minimalism in my wardrobe!
