project:simplify- Hot Spot#1

I know, I know…another project…another goal…I am crazy!!  But the effort that I put into this one is minimal and I got huge results…HUGE!!  I love this challenge…I love that it’s simple and I really could tackle it in little bursts.  Because let’s face it, all I got right now is little bursts of time that I’ve gotta work with!!!

So, hot spot #1 is the Master Closet….ay yay yay did mine need help!!!  And this fit perfectly into everything else going on my life…I’m losing weight, I’m *trying* to get showered and dressed every day, and I’m trying to simplify my life.  Works great…right?

So here’s some befores:

I love my master closet.  I took the door off and put Elfa shelves in from the Container Store when I built my house.  Can you believe before Jason and I got married I filled this closet all myself?  (talk about way too much stuff).

So I’ve been tweeting about my progress all week.

And this…..

was the attitude I took. 

Five bags of clothes and shoes for goodwill.  One bag of scrubs to be returned to the hospital (I wear hospital issued scrubs for work and kept “growing” when I was pregnant and needed new ones).

And here are my results:

 

I know, I still have a shoe problem- but I got rid of a lot!!

I think my official “Mom uniform” is plain short and long sleeve t-shirts…I have a rainbow of them!!

I got rid of any pants that I do not wear or did not fit.  The only thing I didn’t really purge is t-shirts.  I love my college t-shirts.  They’re so comfy.  And since I’m working out more I gave myself permission to keep them.  But I did purge a ton of pajama pants and sweats.  And in honor of What I Wore Wednesday I’m wearing sweatpants today, but with a nice shirt…not a collegiate t-shirt from the 90s!!  It’s progress people…and I’m proud!!!

Jason even got involved and got rid of some shoes.  He had recently purged quite a bit before Christmas so his side isn’t too bad!!!

SimpleMom- I thank you…it felt good to do this project and I’m looking forward to the next 4 hotspots!!!
