Closet Purge and Upgrade

I am back at my annual purging and it feels great. When I purge my house, I get rid of 1/3 of everything. It helps me keep things in check by never crowding me out with clutter, staying aware of the things I have that I don’t use on a consistent basis (perhaps due to seasons), and re-asses my needs and wants.

When purging my clothes, I found that I have a ton of shirts but really no bottoms. So yes, I do need to do a little shopping but at least I have direction so I am not just buying more tops. I do love clothes and dressing up. Work is the number one place that I dress up for so I am usually looking for items that are conducive to the workplace.

Here are 5 workplace updates that I would like to see in my closet.

Acoustic Covers

So I took a Pilates class recently that played only acoustic covers of songs and I might have spent more time listening then focusing on my form. Promise to focus appropriately in the future but . . .here are 5 songs that I like the acoustic cover of.

Do you have an acoustic cover of a song you like? Share!

Whidbey Island Part 1

I just love exploring and it doesn’t matter to me if it is near or far from home. In fact, I love exploring close to home because my schedule doesn’t feel crowded with trying to see the things that I might not be able to see again. When I stick closer to home, I know I have the ability to come again and again so the little things that I stumble upon become more important and I “see” the area better.

Just recently I was in Washington for an extended weekend trip around New Year’s and I was able to do just that. I was able to concentrate my time on Whidbey Island (and do it without the crowds). So here are 5 things on the bigger scale to see and next month I will share 5 things on the smaller scale to see.

  1. Mukilteo
  2. Coupeville
  3. Langley
  4. Anacortes
  5. Washington State Ferries
