I have been on the diet for a few weeks, and I have experienced several things:
1) I don’t care about my wardrobe as much, b/c if something isn’t perfect, I have to just “deal with it”— there isn’t the potential to go out and buy something new. I have to make what I have work, and that might mean it’s not perfection. This is actually a huge release and I find that I am devoting much less time to thinking about clothes because of this.
2) There are a few items in my closet that I am not in love with and would like to get rid of, but I have had to think twice about these items because I’m not going to be getting any new replacements anytime soon. I think after this diet is over, I will think much more carefully about which items I purchase b/c I won’t treat them as disposable objects.
3) I have a small closet. Having just a few well-loved items in the closet (that fit in the closet!) makes it easier to clean and put everything away. I am very annoyed now by my husband’s excess of clothing. There isn’t anywhere to put it all! [To be fair, my husband & I probably have the same amount of clothing accumulated over the past 10-15 years, it's just that I have gone through a number of sizes, and my clothes that don't fit are in storage bins in the garage, whereas he is the same size and his clothes are just crammed into the closet/around the bedroom].

You go girl. After almost 4 months I have found the true beauty of the uniform. Long sleeved black t-shirt (a good one of course) paired with jeans and a great pair of shoes is the ticket. I say uniform in the most constructive and positive way. Too bad it took me this long to discover my “look.” It doesn’t mean that after this is all over I will continue to wear a black t-shirt. In fact I think I might just move to navy but it does mean that finding a style you feel good in is wonderful. Soon you will be writing to me about your uniform.
