Every woman at some point stands in front of her closet and wonders what to wear or walks through a shop and wonders if they really need this shirt or dress or whatever. I do this. You too? As we’ve down-sized our home (and closets) and budget this last year, it’s forced me to take a closer look at the pieces in my closet and to consider what I really love and why. Since I have a very tiny personal budget each month, this closet assessing helps me to find new pieces that work well with what I already own and to recognize what’s worth saving for. During this series, I’ll be sharing those pieces from my own closet. Sometimes they will be older, things I’ve owned for a while or thrifted, while other times, I’ll share a more recent essential. In both cases, they are things I love and wear often enough to share. Today, it’s my black oversized cardigan, a piece I’ve dressed up for a wedding and nights out with friends, and something I can just as easily throw over jeans and a t-shirt on a chilly day. Do you wear oversized cardigans? How do you like to wear it? I’d love to hear.

      Thank you, Emma! I have the opposite problem, sometimes getting rid of too much. I have foud myself a few times saying, “oh man, why did I sell/give that?” But far more, I’m grateful to have a more streamlined closet.
