New Beginings

hee hee, long time no see! My fault, I know it!

Anyway, as you can see by my title, this school year is going to be all about new beginings. 

Starting with clothes!!! 

I have a clothes problem.  I can admit that.  It's a problem though that is both costly monetarily and to the health of my body and mind.  Clothes are piled all over the place in my room to the point that I can't even sleep on my bed anymore.  I don't want to sleep on that couch one more night!!!  Everytime I just look at the room I feel overwhelmed and get irritable.

So, when getting ready to move into my new apartment, I tried to pack on the lighter side.  I seriously think I left about half of my wardrobe at home!  (Granted, this still means I brought a lot.)  It wasn't even the funky stuff I decided to keep back either!  There were some pretty painful cuts.  I'm hoping to take a lot out of this though.

I tried to bring some stuff I haven't really worn in awhile.  I think the reason I sometimes gravitate to the same things is because I have SO much stuff that I just go with stuff I know I like.  There's TOO much of a selection.  So this will be their time to shine.  If I still don't wear them, or realize I don't really like the way they look or find it's hard to incorporate them into my wardrobe then away they must go. 

I think the best way to incorporate some of my funkier pieces is to pair them with really cute solid staples to balance out the look.  So I want to try to experiment with this a bit as well. 

I also want to really work on organization.  I actually am pretty organized but I think I need to focus more on maintaining it.  I let things get kind of chaotic then decide it's time to crack down and organize the hell out stuff. 

I also want to work on following through with the ideas and projects I have in my head.  I think if I actually do them and complete them it'll free up some space to come up with even more projects!  I have so many I want to do right now I feel likes they're all backed up.  Maybe focus on one project a week?

Continue reading!!!  I got The Help, and the first Hunger Games book from my lovely coworkers at Dawson, not to mention all the books I already want to read, so I want to really try to keep that up.  I WILL reach my 35 books benchmark this year!!

I know there's more, I'll keep updating this as I think of them.  It'll be interesting when the school year is over to see how much of this I actually went through on.
