OWN IT!!!

 Thank you!!!

I swear, your posts are like church for the bariatric patient! They really rev me up!

One idea I have JUST started doing is taking photos of clothing when I give it away. Yesterday I gave away my VERY favorite size 24 black silk Jones New York blouse. Long sleeve, jewel neck and v base on the placket so you don't tuck it in and it can act as a jacket with a skirt vs a traditional suit.  EVERY time I wore it I got compliments from strangers. It is a very dramatic look and you really have to be both tall and confident to wear it. I met someone at support group that it is about to fit and asked if she'd like it and I gave her that plus several other items I found in the guest room closet at one of our homes I am clearing out to prepare for sale right now. What a chore!

Anyway...I went and got my camera and took a picture of it and I am going to keep a record of what I gave away or consigned one, so I remember when something is gone, but two, to honor the happiness and events I enjoyed in those outfits and wishing well those to whom will wear them for their own events. 

Maybe consider tagging those photos when you have given something away so you know where it has gone instead of driving yourself nuts looking for it. :)

What an awesome idea ... I gave away quite a few fave pieces of the past that I wish I had taken a picture of or in ...
