closet clean up: Lazy bundles and more!

So in a tired and lazy effort in getting my closet clean ups moving along faster, I am trying to bundle some of my auction items together. I will try to group item lots with things that I think will appeal to a certain taste. Meaning I wouldn't try to see a chambray work shirt with a sharp suit blazer....although that wouldn't be such a bad look with the right kind of boots. Ok, but really. I need to get this stuff out of my closet and looking over at the nagging pile of clothes just makes me want to throw a baseball. Sigh. So check back in the next few days as I start posting some fantastic bundled deals in this post!

A note about these jeans. Below is a photo of me in these exact jeans. You can see what they looked like when they were brand new.  And then what they look like now.

closet confession: Pricing

While no one has ever questioned my prices in any of my auctions. I felt I wanted to share how I look at pricing things. This explanation is just me feeling totally self-conscience of how inconsistent some of my starting prices go for. I think my prices are really fair and for the most part "priced to sell." I even price things super low and if you see that, you know I am eager to make some space or it was a gift and I have no idea what else to do with it. Here is the biggest thing. If you notice an item is priced pretty high on my auction, it's not because I'm trying to pull a fast one on anybody. In all honesty, it's me really debating whether or not I really want to see it go. I know, that's self-sabotage. But, then everything has it's price, right?

closet confession: blue summer

It's been awhile. It's been self-reflective. It's been soul searching. It's been frugal. It's been mourning. It's been grinding away. It's been hiding. It's been quiet. It's been re-evaluating and re-assessing. It's been confessional. It's been refining. It's been a lot of work. It's been collecting. It's been anti-social. It's been broke. It's been hot. It's been a blue summer. It's been too long.

Dusting off and droning on. Here comes the clean up.
