Round 1

I have 4 items up for review!  I will begin by showing a picture of the item and then discuss its importance(or lack thereof) and what I plan to do with it.

Black trendy shirt from Forever 21
 This particular shirt was purchased at Forever 21 in Chicago this past Fall.  I was in the area for my sister's wedding and flew home out of Chicago.  While there I decided to go shopping on Michigan Ave.  I don't know why I liked this shirt so much, it was pretty trendy for my taste, and of course I did not try it on, so I was unaware of the reaction my sensitive skin would have to the material and the shoulder zipper without lining....  needless to say when I returned home I tried it on immediately had an allergic reaction and had red splotches all over my chest, never wore it out of the apartment.   This item will be sold to a local consignment shop.

Burgundy blouse from the Gap
I am always looking for tops that I can wear to work.   This blouse was on the sale rack at the Gap and once again I am guilty of purchasing an item without trying it on at the store.  I love the material, color and style... the only problem was the size.  It's a Medium size shirt but the arm holes were Extra Small.  When I put on the shirt for the first time, I got my arms through the holes, but after 30 seconds the blood circulation in my arms were non-existent.  It took me a minute or two to take the shirt off which had me in a mini-panic.   Each wardrobe mistake in a lesson in itself- I guess.  This item will also be sold to a local consignment shop.

White Northface jacket w/hood
  I love, love, love this jacket! My Mom gave this jacket to me for Christmas five years ago. It has gotten me through countless cold winter days walking through campus or sledding in the snow. It has been a good run, but this worn, washed, and washed again jacket is in need of retirement. Because it is still in decent shape I've decided to give the jacket to Goodwill. Hopefully it will find a worthy home and keep someone warm next winter!
Yellow and white tank top from Target
This tank top is cute and has lasted a few summers, frankly I am too old and a little too overweight to wear this particular tank top.  I plan to sell this item to a local consignment shop.

It feels good to begin this process!  Stay tuned for the next round of items up for review!
