I decided to go look for something new to wear.  I ended up buying some gloves and a leather belt.

No new outfit as nothing inspired me.  But it was fun to look around.  I did find some appealing items in the clearance racks but they were the wrong size.

Be a good example of good behavior.  Always be kinder than needed.  Be tender to others.  You are as beautiful as the thoughts you think and the words that you speak.   Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding.  Knowledge and action shown without love is not impressive.  If you look for the good in people you will find it. Healthy relationships are so important to good living.  Serve others.

Good living, joy, unity, love, and happiness can come from following these practices: Never let selfishness or conceit motivate you.  Regard others as more important than yourself.  Do not limit attention to only your interests, but include the interests of others. 

It is not usually about how fast you transition, it is about how well you transition.   .

I love to browse and hit clearance occasionally, one never knows.  Recent purchases; a pink broderie ss button down top, pleated light blue skort and a pair of knit square toe mules.  Hopefully all go well for sizing!

I gave away 18 items yesterday, these tops and bottoms are now too big to look right on me.

Also took a few odds and ends of household items to a not for profit thrift shop.  After all, how many coffee cups does one need? 

I think I will continue to take things that I have made no use for in years so others may make better use of them.  Except for things that have an emotional attachment.

I think I may get a couple of new outfits soon.  The only clothing items I recently purchased were some gloves and a belt and a winter cap.

Heck, yes! And I never resist the urge. You see, I'm a bulk buyer. When my shorts are too stained and torn to keep wearing, I'll buy a new pair. IF that new pair is a worthy replacement, I'll then buy another five pairs and I'm good to go for another stretch of years. Same with t-shirts, sweatshirts, and sweatpants, which are the only four items I wear, along with my coat, underwear, and shoes, of course. If I don't buy a worthy replacement shortly after the give-'em-a-shot shorts, that might never be available again. Ever! So, I don't delay. It's a beautiful system, although day after day, it might look like I never change my clothes since my outfits are always the same.

Summer: dark shorts and t-shirts

Winter: dark sweatshirt and sweatpants

I have clothes I don't remember buying.  :o

I just bought a Goretex jacket on ebay for $25 even though I have a closet full of jackets.
It had a little cosmetic damage but should be great for gardening and golfing.
I have one just like it but a different color in mint condition so I can keep the good one in the closet and wear out the one I just bought.  Goretex is great for cold and windy days but is terribly expensive these days.

Getting on for 4 years ago now, I donated all my male clothing. Soon thereafter I donated those clothings that I deemed androgynous.. bought to appease someone else and their checklist of acceptability... yeah, they were gone..
Now, getting to ready to emigrate, I have had a good old clearout. I have ammassed quite a wardrobe in such a few short years.. and regrettably 4 large sacks of clothing went to the charity the other week.

I would guess that my worst purchases have been 'cheap shoes' and 'cheap purses'...   I sort of cannot resist a bargain. It usually turns out to be never worn or used.. but 'look at the money I saved' I tell my bf... LOL.. anyway, I hope someone can make good use of some of my old (hardly worn) stuff.. and, in the USA I have a closet that is twice the size of the one I had in the UK... MUHAWHAHAHAAA....

Having a nice variety of sweaters, jackets, coats (long and short), (with or without hoods), rain coats, windbreakers…. They can be nice to have if your weather fluctuates.  “Expedition class” coats are nice to have on really snowy and cold days for a walk.  But I am not going to walk through thick snow.  A sleeveless jacket is nice if working out in the cold, the sleeveless situation actually reduces sweat and is very warm, maybe counter to one’s thinking that the jacket would keep you warm without having sleeves.
