May 2015 Post “KonMari Method” Closet Inventory

After downsizing both my clothes and accessories last week using the “KonMari Method,” I thought this would be a good time to do a closet inventory.  The last time I did a closet inventory was about four months ago, on January 23rd, after I had also undertaken a considerable wardrobe purge.   In today’s post, I will share my new wardrobe and accessory numbers.  But first, here’s what my closet looks like today:

My Closet as of May 18, 2015

This is what my closet looks like as of May 18, 2015.

As of my last closet inventory, I decided to start including my entire wardrobe in these updates (with the exception of undergarments and sleepwear).  The reason for the change is that I wanted to place more emphasis on my at-home wardrobe.   Those clothes count and I want to feel just as good in my at-home clothes as I do in what I wear when I’m out and about.

April 2015 Accountability Update

The last month has felt like one of the longest of my life.  Yes, I know the number of days was basically the same as in all other months, but because of all of the stress I had going on, it seems like April was more like three or four months long.   It really does seem like ages ago since I posted my last accountability update, but it was actually only 35 days ago.   Sometimes time flies, but the past month has really dragged for me…

With all that said, it’s now time for my April accountability update. For those who are new to the blog, these monthly reports are where I share what came into and left my closet during the previous month and how I did with my shopping budget.   It’s my way of keeping myself honest and on track with my wardrobe and shopping.

Full Honesty and Accountability

It’s important to be honest with ourselves about our shopping.

March 2015 Accountability Update

The first quarter of 2015 is now behind us.  Time sure does seem to be flying by!   Since April is now underway, it’s time for my March accountability update.  For those who are new to the blog, these monthly reports are where I share what came into and left my closet during the previous month and how I did with my shopping budget.   It’s my way of keeping myself honest and on track with my wardrobe and shopping.

Shopping Accountability Updates

Although I don’t have the type of formal goals this year that I had during 2013 and 2014 (see this post for what I’m doing instead this year), sharing what I bought, what I culled, and how much I spent will help me to stay deliberate (my theme for 2015) with both my shopping and wardrobe management.

January 2015 Accountability Update

It’s time for my first accountability update for 2015.  As long-time readers know, these monthly reports are where I share what came into and left my closet during the previous month and how I did with my shopping budget and rules.   It’s my way of keeping myself honest and on track with my wardrobe and shopping goals.  Yes, I know I’m late in sharing my 2015 goals, but I’ve had a lot of 2014 wrap-up posts to do.  I plan to finalize and publish my goals next week, so stay tuned…

Telling the Truth

What Left My Closet

Not long ago, I shared the results of my mid-January closet culling session, as well as an updated wardrobe inventory.  Here’s a reminder of what left my closet at that time (see this post for more details):
