De-cluttering cont.

I am slowly learning how to use this website so please bare with me.
With that said, lets get started on the next items of clothing!!
Item 3.1
Yellow blouse from a store called Romy
This spring inspired number looks great on the hanger... I wore it a few times last spring but the neck is too wide, and the length isn't quite right.  Its a pretty shirt in theory.

Item 3.1 was donated to Goodwill.
Item 3.2
Strap-y dress from Express



This dress gave me many great memories!! From sorority date parties to summer nights & happy hour-patio drinking.  Of course I wore this so often that it had to be washed regularly... in the end not following washing directions is what brought this item to its demise. 


Therefore Item 3.2 was donated to probably be turned into wash rags or possibly a piecemeal of accessories, I'm not quite sure.

Here is a picture of me wearing Item 3.2:
Yes, you guessed correctly, that is
Chris Osgood, NHL goalie for the Detroit Red Wings <3


Item 3.3
Khaki shorts
Regretfully, I do not remember where these shorts are from, but they were worn during my college job at a local golf course!  Working at the golf course was the best job I've had thus far in life.  I spent the whole summer outside in the sunshine with a beautiful 27 hole golf course as my scenery.  The customers were always happy, and my co-workers were some of the nicest people I know.  Why did I have to graduate and get a "real job"?


I don't have a photo of me in these shorts- thank god.  But I want to share this picture of my awesome co-workers and I the last summer I worked at the golf course:

Item 3.4
White with tiny black polkadots
This shirt is from Fovever 21.  Its great for summertime at the office.  I wore it a lot during my internship with City of Plymouth DDA, Summer of 2008.  Unfortunately it no longer fits me!
This item was sold to a local consignment shop for less than $5.

Round 2

Good evening!

Tonight we have 4 more items up for review.  3/4 of these items were sold to a local consignment shop and the other was donated to Goodwill.

I will start with the donated short:
Long sleeve hooded green
 JCrew shirt-Circa 2000-2002  
I have kept this shirt for a long time.  The shirt with the matching belt paired with jeans was my favorite weekend outfit for a long time.  Green is also one of my favorite colors.  Unfortunately this shirt no longer fits me, and I think after 8+ years of use its okay to retired it from my collection.

Item 2 is another top from my high school years:

Beige button up blouse from
Express with 3/4 sleeve
When this blouse fit me, it was my go-to shirt for class presentations and more formal occasions that did not require a dress.  Since I wore it minimally, it was in good enough condition to be sold to the local consignment shop.  Hopefully it will find a home, my wish is that it will be worn by some youngling during job interviews!





Item 3 was an attempt to be trendy:
Black Forever 21 blouse with a
light purple and white design


This trendy top served me well during my bar-hoppin' college years.  It was long and silky and perfect for catching some attention in the bust area if you know what I mean!  I will definitely have some pictures of me wearing this to share with you later.

Although this top is cute, this trend has long past (for me anyway) and its time to let another PYT use it to get free drinks at the bar.




Last but not least, Item 4 is a shirt I bought to wear to work during the hot summertime:
Sleeveless salmon colored
top from Van Heusen
Ahhh...  what can I say.  There is a reason I only wore this for one season.  No offense to the Van Heusen shoppers of the world, but I think that while wearing this shirt I put at least 10 years onto my age.  Yes, it was awesome to have no sleeves in the hot summers, it defeats the purpose because I work in an air-conditioned office.  I am a little embarrassed to say that I wore this more than once.

"Au revior" sleeveless shirt, you will not be missed.  This shirt was sold to the local consignment shop, and its almost summertime so someone with snatch this up!  

I know what you're wondering, but sorry- NO, I DO NOT have a picture of me in this particular item.
