I am more than eager to say goodbye to January and welcome a new month. It seemed to be quite a long one this year, eh? In Atlanta, we even have a few blooms starting to shoot up in our front yard. Visual hope of the end to the bleak weather! And not only am I welcoming the month swap, I’m anxious to continue the simplify my life process. I’ve got a self imposed rule going on: with every new item added to my closet, I must donate or pass along another item. This has been a great solution for our small closet space as well as a good remedy for impulse buying. 

Jacket (also love this one), pink chambray (similar), denim (similar for less), pink suede flats  c/o

When I received this pair of M. Gemi flats in the mail, I took out a pre-labeled bag with the note, “Make some room in your closet for your new shoes. Pick a pair of gently worn shoes from your closet to donate. Drop them into the enclosed mailer – the delivery fee on us. We will donate your shoes to help women who need professional attire as they develop their careers.”

Such a cool initiative! I love how they are making it so easy to take part it in this prompt. Any other companies you know of doing similar efforts? I want to compile a list!

Happy February 1st!
