I could have included this part of my May LIWI update in with my last post, but it was just getting too long. I’m trying not to do such marathon posts anymore because I know not everyone has the time (or the inclination) to read them. I won’t go into this level of detail every month, probably just one other time towards the end of the year. But since I’ve done almost half a year of LIWI and summer is upon us, I wanted to take some time to look at what hasn’t been worn yet and why.
A few of you have commented on the level of detail to which I analyze my wardrobe and have marveled at how much time it must take me. But here’s the thing… It really only takes me a few minutes each day to note what I wore and to make an entry in my outfit journal. It did take a chunk of time to set everything up in the first place (see this post for the specifics), but now it’s pretty much second nature for me to quickly track what was worn and make a few notes about how I felt about it. And I believe that time is well spent, as I’ve learned a lot about what I like to wear and what does and doesn’t work for me.
What does take a lot of time is writing those blog posts that delve into wardrobe management and include a lot of numbers and photos. But I enjoy writing them and I’m glad that readers find my level of detail interesting and helpful. This will be another such post, as I’ll be looking at the clothing and accessories that haven’t made it out of my closet yet this year.
