master cleanse

taking clothes to sell back to consignment stores can be a disheartening process. you really almost take it personally when they don't want to buy anything off you- like, is my stuff not good enough for you, you dirty granola wannabe hipster?! huh? HUH?! look at me when i'm pretending to talk to you!) so it really just helps to go in with a "i'll get what i'll get if anything, who cares" attitude. i have major pack rat tendencies and really find it difficult to give away anything i think i might wear, even if it's not my style anymore (we had some good times tan seersucker swing jacket) and it doesn't even fit right (vintage lilac blouse i'm lookin at you). i try to be as objective as possible, though it always proves difficult and i'm positive there are things that should go that i'm keeping for now... so without further adieu, my spring 2009 wardrobe cleanse, in no particular order: 

• 3 multi-color bangle bracelets
• 2 vintage purses (1 beige clutch, 1 forest green tote)
• 1 pair of ballet shoes (target)
• 3 pairs of jeans (cheap monday, paper denim & cloth, miss sixty)
• 2 pairs of shorts (both american eagle)
• 1 denim knee length skirt (urban outfitters)
• 6 t-shirts (random)
• 1 camisole (sweet pea) 
• 2 blouses (vintage and h&m)
• 2 dresses (urban outfitters and express)
• 1 cardigan (proenza schouler for target)
• 2 spring jackets (american rag and forever 21)

i'm going to try to take my stuff in sometime this week and will report back with the results. even if it is zero dollars.
