Experimenting with a fresh look

Coming into the end of 2018, I am reflecting on the challenges of the past year and examining the areas in my life where I may want to change. With my other blog, I have centered the writing primarily on exploration of new places as well as lifestyle hobbies such as houseplants, food, or reading.

With this new blog, I would like to focus more on style interests and exploring aesthetics. This may involve clothing, jewelry, styling the home, beauty, and skincare. Although these topics might seem more superficial, I think there is much creative expression and simple fun that can be found in these topics. Simultaneously, I would like to use this space to write about and actively think about what items I already own, how to work creatively with those items, and how to be more intentional with any new items that I add to my possession. Along with this first post, I am setting the goal of cleaning and organizing my closet within the next 10 days.

This involves:

1. Identifying any items that are not being used or worn. Think about ways that these items could be incorporated or sort them into a donation pile.
2. Store away clothing that is not currently in season such as summer blouses, shorts, and dresses. This will make it easier to look at all the seasonal clothing I have and how to work with them.
3. Organize winter season clothing into a smaller wardrobe selection. Somewhat like a capsule wardrobe but less restrictive because I do not want to be tied down to any specific rules until I have gone through and examined all items.
4. Plan outfit options.
