Give 10, Get 1.
I have a weakness for designer clothes, but with law school and nursing I don’t have much money to play with. I love clothes, but you would never know it by looking at my wardrobe. My clothes are embarrassingly old and out of style because I haven’t really updated them in the past five years.
C and I made a deal donate 10 items from our closets. I’m going home tonight to look through my stuff, but it really won’t take me long to find 10 pieces I NEVER wear.
Since I’m donating 10 items, I figure I can pick up one new item! I’ve picked a Rachel Pally (www.rachelpally.com) top that is such a beautiful, bright yellow. It is normally $160, but I found it for $32!

Purge or Splurge?
I am in the process of MOVING! Right now I’m living in a downtown studio, but I’m slowly moving all of my belongings to a 2bed apartment that I will share with my friend from law school. I’m looking forward to the change and the move will save me $150 a month on rent!
My roommate (M) and I agreed that I would take the master bedroom, which is just HUMONGOUS! I love moving into a new place because I really enjoy organizing my belongings. I know this sounds strange, but moving has become an annual cleansing process for me. I get rid of things I no longer need and rediscover items I didn’t know I owned.
M is currently in a purge phase. She wants to get rid of a lot of her belongings because she feels that she doesn’t need to have as much STUFF right now. While I should probably join her, I’ve been leaning toward a splurge phase! I want to update everything I have.
I went shopping today and picked up a new tablecloth for my beautiful new wooden dining set. I also found a 7-piece soft gold bed set that I absolutely LOVE! I can’t wait to be completely settled in at my new place!!
