{ purge }

a week of saturated fashion has left me with less of a thirst to splurge than with an urge to purge.

growing up, my mother enforced a biannual wardrobe cleansing; as an adult, it's become a ritual i'll never abandon.

here's how it works: every six months, take everything out of your closet, your shoe boxes, jewelry bins, sock drawer... then carefully put back only those things that you absolutely love ~ things you would buy again right now if given the opportunity again.

everything else must be immediately consigned or donated to charity.
