This is the second post in the Lizzi Chronicles - my good friend Lizzi is moving in with her boyfriend, and is using the transition as a time to clean out her closet, assess what she wants to keep or donate, and to research the best places to donate used clothing and household items. I loved reading this post on her closet inventory, and I keep telling her she finally needs to start a blog because I think she has such a gift for writing and engaging. Please encourage her further for me :)
As I alluded to in my first post, I was well overdue for a closet clean out. And even though I've known this for quite a while, I still needed a wake-up call to convince myself that a serious overhaul was needed. So what's one thing that never lies? Numbers! Except for the arbitrary numbers that are used for sizing in women's clothing, but I digress...
Back when I was preparing to move last year, I kind of did all of the purging in stages without really documenting any of it. At the time, I hadn't moved more than three miles in any direction in seven years, so it took a while to go through everything I had accumulated in that time. One of my favorite ladies, Lizzi, is currently in the processing of moving in with her boyfriend, and in the process is using this move as a time to not only clean out her closet, but many of the different items in her possession. She's been doing a ton of research on how to best donate certain items, and we both thought that it would make for a great couple of posts. I hope you guys enjoy her intro post - be on the look out for progress pictures in the next few weeks!
*clears throat* Is this thing on? Is this where one blogs?
Ah, yes! Hello! This is Lizzi, Fran's favorite outlet shopping and concert companion! I am here because I approached Fran a few weeks ago about doing a few posts on "getting rid of stuff".
NO! Don't leave yet! I know that doesn't really have a lot of zing as it stands, but let me explain myself. And for what it's worth, I swear that Fran responded to my email with "I LOVE THIS IDEA!!!!" and "I'M SO EXCITED!!"
