Top Heavy

I have just started the long arduous task of sifting through the contents of my closet. I've decided to throw out the "toss it if you haven't worn it in a year" rule. For the last 3 years, I have been either pregnant or nursing, and both of these have really limited what I could wear. Now, I'm trying to piece together a workable wardrobe of tunics and tees, leggings and jeans, that looks hip and pulled together while still being practical for my crazy-busy days with a baby and a toddler. I'll be dissecting the process here over the next few days. Tonight I barely made a dent in the project, but I already have one observation: My wardrobe is top-heavy. Tops, tees, sweaters, etc are so much easier to buy, online or on a whim, than bottoms are, and so now I have tons of tops and nothing to wear with them. I've decided to take a self-imposed hiatus from shopping until I decide what I need to round out my wardrobe. I'm tired of spending money and having a wardrobe that's still not working for me, so it's time I actually put some thought into what I buy and what I wear, for the first time in years. I'm going to plan before I shop.

I'll keep you posted.
