I Just Moved, and These Are the 4 Fashion Items I Purged

@natashandlovuYou know when a T-shirt has seen better days—holes near the seams, a stretched-out neckline, stains throughout, etc. T-shirts are made to be worn, so they're bound to get a bit too worn at some point. For me, because I wear T-shirts to work quite often, it's important to recognize when they've hit the point of no return. My move was the perfect opportunity to take a good hard look at my collection and donate the ones that are no longer work-appropriate. Now I have room to replace them with new, fresh T-shirts that will look polished under a blazer at my next meeting.

@shhtephsI'm a sucker for trendy fashion jewelry but typically don't spend a ton of money on pieces I know don't have longevity and instead invest in timeless pieces I'll wear forever. Since I'm not spending much money on the trend pieces, they tend to get tarnished, start to rust, or turn green at a certain point. After a while, I've accumulated a whole stack of pieces that are no longer in good condition to wear. I decided it was time to let these tarnished pieces go, and in their place, I'll be adding chunky chain necklaces that are oh so on trend for spring 2020.

@mon.agarAs much as I hate to admit it, I've held onto a few pairs of jeans that are just a tad too tight on me now in hopes that one day they'll fit again. Not only is this bad for my mental health, but they're taking up space in my closet and I need to just let them go. Before the move, I tried on every single pair of jeans I own and added those too-tight pairs to the donation pile. Since I now have a few gaps in my denim collection, I'll be adding a few more wide-leg styles to my arsenal this spring since that's all I really want to wear right now anyway.

@discodaydreamBack in my early 20s, I used to designate a few pairs of my shoes as "going-out" shoes—pairs I could wear to a bar and get spilled on and not be devastated about. But seeing as how I just turned 30 and rarely go out like that anymore (I'm more of a nice-long-dinner kind of person rather than a crowded-bar girl now), it's time to ditch those shoes with stains and scuffs all over them. I went through and examined my shoe collection to see which pairs I still love and can be repaired, and which have just seen better days and it's time to move on from. In their place, I'll be adding some clean, minimalist spring sandals to get myself ready for warmer days ahead.
