50-50.

meant to respond to Hilary's post Fatigued, but I had other things in my mind. I feel 50-50 on this 91 days journey. There are days in which the blog becomes an impostor. We are forced in a certain way to publicize our lives, our everyday looks. We are forced to wear different outfits, to think about the way we dress. After a long day at work when all you want to do is sip on that bottle of wine, you still have to set the camera, look decent, post the picture and write something meaningful. There is also the side of going into stores with your friends without buying anything. In that instance all the clothes become crap. You lose your interest, shopping is boring and a waste of time. But there is the other 50%. The one that gets you excited at the view of black velvet tuxedo pants from Banana Republic, or Porselli leather boots that you inquiry over the e-mail because you want them so bad. In those instances shopping is therapeutic art, is the need to upgrade your wardrobe so you look decent, acceptable. No more holes in your sweater, no more patches or tape to keep your old converse in tact. I have to agree with Hilary that I want to keep few items that are really nice opting for a minimalist closet. I was just talking to this woman today and she had read that we only wear 20% of what we own. A very low %. What happens to the 80%?
