ok. here i go.

new idea. i love to shop. i love to hunt. seriously, shopping for fulfills a primal desire that hunting fulfills for men in camo.
and i don't need to. i have plenty of things to wear, my daughter has plenty of things to wear. so, the new idea, shop for other people. i'm not an overly critical person. i don't size everyone up and down and pick apart their wardrobe choices but if you ask me, i'll tell ya. and so the new idea...how to make part of my living doing what i love? so i'm working out a plan. a plan that will help fulfill my desire to shop(hunt) and help people save money on clothes, save time in stores, and ease the stress of bargain hunting. thrift stores are my sanctuary. i feel at home in them. i go into a zone, i honestly go into some form of tunnel vision. on a mission. people are shocked at the finds i find at all my favorite thrift and second hand shops. i have an extensive wardrobe but 98% is used, resold or a closeout purchase. i feel like a champion over retail. ha ha! go me, i don't pay full price for much, so sorry for most who don't know how to handle a cluttered rack with treasures to be found.

the other part of my plan is de-cluttering. i'll be the first to come clean, no pun intended, i am VERY messy. my closet has tons of hangers and yet, i keep most of my clothes in a pile next the bed. i try to keep up with it but when you try on 6 different things every morning and your running late to work and you still have to get the baby dressed, there's no time for hanging things back up. but, back the plan, the other part of the plan is helping other lovely ladies(or men) clean out the old the make room for new. i love helping make a clean sweep for others. without naming names i recently helped a girlfriend let go of about 15 white shirts and tank tops that were on style life-support. it felt good to toss them and it made her feel good that she could look at her closet again knowing it all fit and was worth looking at. so that's part of the plan.

so the new idea, create a little side business for myself. with the support of a few great friends championing for me, telling me to DO IT, i'm embarking on this little idea. i plan to document the finds i find, and the wardrobes i overhaul. sooo. here we go. i'm ready to take you off the beaten rack, into a new world of greener living and cheaper looking goodness.
