Feb. 1: Day 32 "But It Still Fits"

There's a time and a place for everything we're told. My brightly colored striped sweater bought in 2003 still fits, though it has yarn pills all over it and is a little stretched out in the sleeves and waist. I actually had to debate with myself over it even with 8 other better sweaters in my closet! So, out it went into the Goodwill bin.

I've learned that the older I get, I should try to look more up-to-date in my dressing, feeling good about how I look. I don't need to hang on to old styles or worn items. I can budget some money for newer clothing if I see the need and avoid being dowdy as my husband once teased me about. It doesn't have to cost a lot, but if I add a new piece a month (even if it's from a thrift store), I feel better about myself and can more easily get rid of old items.
