Step one of a new you will be revamping. The cliche "out with the old and in with the new " is going to be one of the mantras you have to religiously abide by.
How many of us girls have a wardrobe overflowing of clothes but nothing seems right?
Too big,too small, too ho-ish, what the hell was I thinking and What the F*** is this?
Yup that would sum up about 99% of us mortals.
Dump all those. Clothes you might think you are going to fit into , girl ,reality check..you wont!
If it's not you , it's never going to be.
Go head and donate those, make Salvation Army happy. Start a bonfire if you please .
Just get rid of them.
The rule of thumb would be , if it's not worn in the last 6 months it's never going to get worn.
So what if it's Gucci?Trust me they don't give 2 hoots about you after you deludedly made that hasty purchase.And that laughter you heard?Joy at the huge commission earned on their non seller and an old bet won!
Next shoes.Yes including the 20 pairs hidden all around the house.
Now put them on.If it hurts ,junk them. If it looks too funky , junk it, if its not even yours..go crazy with that bonfire.
Your stash of make up is next. Go ahead and empty all the bags. Find those lipsticks , lipglosses and what have you, line them up neatly.All right you drive a hard bargain, scatter them on the bed..now have a good look...
Do you seriously need 20 tubes of gooey lipsticks?
When are you ever going to wear that shade of puke?And that stuff growing on your make up is not going to pass for organic.
Keep to the bare minimum.
What would a girl need to look hot? Yup go ahead and slap the b**** who said a touch of confidence and a smile.That girl is probably sitting in her room all alone now knitting balls of nothing after losing her marbles.We certainly do not want to be that girl now do we?
Foundation, blusher , eye shadow(white would look great on anyone), lipstick , mascara and eyeliner.That always does the trick.
Bags.
I should just shush up here.I had gleefully bought a bag for every occasion or outfit.My just - in case bags.
What if I get a high flying job?What if I am going to be a gypsy and rainbow happy? What if I get rid of my huge wallet? What if I ..what if I..it never did stop...
Be a sport now and use your own discretion and this category is clearly not mine.
Moving along...
Accessories
Adorning ten necklaces at one go is a fashion suicide.Firstly there is that risk that an old enemy may be sitting in a corner waiting to tangle your necklaces into a gallow.
And all that extra weight?Unless you are training for rugby and need those humongous neck muscles.
And the jingle jangles as you stride around?Well not unless you are going to be selling trinklets .
Own earrings as huge as houses?Send them to some poor old shod who could well use them as spare metal for his battered ride.
Accessories are ascents to your get up.Not decorations.
For me Í do great with a flower stuck to my hair or some earrings.Never both.
Seriously though flowers are great statement makers. And you right there, take 2 steps away from that 10 inch sunflower!
Flowers= pretty and sweet not "hey man..check out what I can grow!"
Now then, isn't it amazing how far we have come.
Do you not feel that sense of liberation?(gonna need it in the money department too!)
Till we meet in the next chapter...
