Day 2 pt. II

I have set the following goals for myself for this week/weekend. I don’t have a car so it will probably take me a couple of trips to accomplish all of this.

-Sell 1/4 of my book collection at a local used bookstore (they only accept 3 boxes maximum per person) -The books that do not sell will be donated -Clearing my closet and limiting it to 32 items to start and then moving forward from there and limiting it even further (not including underwear and socks, tackling that will be later on) -The items I will keep are the following:

Shirts: 1. White Button Down 2. Dark Denim Button Down 3. Light Denim Button Down 4. Plaid Dark Green Button Down 5. Black Button Down Oxford 6. Mock Neck Navy T 7. Mock Neck Grey T 8. Black Oversized T 9. Grey Oversized T 10. Navy Polo

Pants 11. Navy Khakis 12. Black Jeans 13. Dark Denim Jeans 14. Light Grey Jeans 15. Light Denim Jeans

Sweaters 16. Marled Blue Cardigan 17. Black Shawl Cardigan 18. Grey Hoodie 19. Navy Pullover

Jackets 20. Black Topcoat 21. Sherpa Denim Jacket 22. Black Parka 23. Navy Rain Jacket 24. Light Denim Jacket 25. Dark Denim Jacket

Shoes 26. White Sneakers 27. Black Oxfords 28. Brown Oxfords 29. Black Chelsea Boots 30. Black Palladium Boots

Formal Clothes 31. Black Suit 32. Black Tie 33. Black Leather Belt

-The remainder of my clothes I will sell at Buffalo Exchange. Those that don’t sell will be donated to a local homeless shelter -Listing my old couch on Craigslist It may seem a little extreme limiting myself so much so rapidly but a lot of my stress in the morning comes from trying to find something to wear. Limiting myself to a “uniform” will make it easier to get ready in the morning and make the rest of the day more enjoyable. I did a little experiment today and wore the same outfit twice in two days. Since I was going to be in different places through the day, I didn’t have to worry about people seeing me wear the same thing twice (it still boggles me as to why people are so thrown off by this). It was so easy in the morning to not have to worry about what to wear. Just to put it into perspective. I wore the outfit on the first day to my internship at City Hall Chicago. The second day I wore it to two interviews with the Chicago Park’s District, my on campus job, to two classes (one in which I had to give a presentation), and then to two art openings. I was actually complemented several times throughout the day on my outfit, which made me feel great about myself. The things is that the items that I wore are all on the list above. It was a great confidence booster.

Tomorrow I have another interview for an internship and have my internship at City Hall as well. What I wear will all be pulled from the list above. Quick update tomorrow to let you all know how it all goes. :)

ramble + thoughts follow <- posting the tags on this post as a separate post bc i kinda poured my heart out.... thsi is from like 7 months ago :skull:

soooo... drawing yourself can be really good for your self esteem/confidence ik no ones probably reading this or caring but this means A LOT to me...

my art style is kinda made for drawing ME. overalls and sweater are most accurately me btw. also this helped with practicing my art style which has been all over the place lately.

OKAY and now for fit + hair:

1) around 2021 to 2022. otherwise known as one of the best times of my life rivaled only by fall of 2019. its me in middle school with my bleached ends AND when i first got bangs (and never looked back). i wore this white oversized sweater on my uniform (navy polo and khaki pants) and the whole Ali Look became so popular among the younger girls who all copied the bangs bleached ends and white sweater and khakis I WAS a trendsetter!!! lmao i chose that for the space buns. A signature Ali hairstyle. i did them a lot back then.

2) is back around april when i cut my hair about chin to mid neck long it was crazy layered kinda 70s punk rock look. i drew my belle cosplay as the fit bc i look pretty in it okay... i did not have it back then but i did not remember when drawing lmb. it's on my black platform heeled boots bc that's a must

3) just me with a ponytail and!! my moon earring with just a sparkly stud earring!! my fav

4) MY MOST recent aqquired clothing THE BLUSH PINK OVERALLS. i love them so so so much#they're so cute and comfy and my hair has grown out and i died the bottom half of it an almost burgundy a while ago. anyway that is how i look today!!

anyway tysm to anyone who's lasted through all that lmaooo
