    There is a pink lace dress my momma bought me by Libby Pulitzer or whatever . She bought that hoe at TJ Maxx for a smooth $40 (retailed for like $200 or some such foolishness). I've owned that dress since I was 17, like when she bought it for me it was a hair too big and she was like "You gon thicken up, and even if you don't it's passable" and she was right. I still keep that dress because it's timeless. It would have been lit in 1920, it would have been lit in the 1960s and it was lit in 2008. Last time I wore it was at my sister's wedding in 2014 and people were complimenting me like I just bought it or something. My mom is really good at finding those nice timeless classic pieces for me ironically. She keeps me looking like the best young professional version of myself. I've also been embracing the ideas of minimalism también. The way you sorted your clothes is actually how I've always done it. Every year I get rid of so much stuff.

    the oldest thing in my closet is this wannabe velvet black bag from bath and body works that is way too small for my lifestyle but it won't let me quit it.

    I have a raggedy B2K shirt from the original Scream Tour circa 2002 with them and Bow Wow that I went to back in high school. That bad boy is all faded, Lil Fizz face done peeled off, can't even see Omarion's braids anymore, and it's got all kinds of holes. But it's my most comfy sleep shirt, and the one I wear when I'm deep conditioning my hair and looking rough. It's literally gonna have to shred to pieces before I throw it away. The nostalgia runs deep.

    this book is real af! i read it one saturday morning in my dorm room, and spent the rest of the day "tidying up" i'm a messy bitch (a hoarder basically) but this book took me from 100 to 0 real quick. Marie was speaking to me! talk about another level of stress shaved off your life!

    I think the one item that I've had the longest is a pair on Nine West heels. They are brand new, never been worn, still in the box. At minimum they are 19 years old, and still cute and in style. I always forget about them, until I'm purging. Then I don't want to get rid of them.

    Savers (and other thrift stores) will give you a receipt for your donations that you can use on your taxes. Make sure to take pics and keep lists of items donated for approximating their *value. (*think yard sale value- as in how much would I pay for this shirt at a garage sale? .99¢ ? ok. good.)
    Also H&M accepts & recycles used clothing for fiber. A sales rep said they will give you an H&M coupon for $5? for each bag of clothing you donate. She didn't say how big/small the bag needs to be.

I had just moved to AK and there were only a few weeks left of school but I actually made some friends and I was voted to win best camper. It is so thin now but the logo and everything is still hanging in there cracked as ever. Don't know that I'll ever get rid of it. Nearly 20 yrs old now.
