One More Reckoning! (Part 2.3)

Well, friends, after a rough weekend, I’m ready to get back on track! My plan is to do a little bit more sorting this morning, and then start with new posts tonight.
Let’s just get right down to it, shall we?
I’m starting with my Snoop Dogg/sunrise dress (https://voltee.wordpress.com/2010/10/15/reasons-why-this-week-sucked/). I’m really a little surprised by the outpouring of support for this little number. It got a unanimous vote to stay. I’m inclined to agree, since it’s just so easy on a hot summer day. Plus, I can also wear it as a skirt if I feel like it. And it feels like a little piece of Hawaii in my closet. It’s a keeper!
Now for the Susan Sarandon (https://voltee.wordpress.com/2010/10/16/strange-things-are-afoot/). This one also surprised me. No one voted against this, either. But the votes are split between wearing it in ‘real life’ or saving for rehearsals. I will keep this, and keep an open mind about wearing it outside of a rehearsal. Someday I may be brave enough!
Next, my mismatched pattern dress (https://voltee.wordpress.com/2010/10/17/the-beginning-of-the-end-part-two-i-plead/). Haha, I was intending to start the deciding process then, and it’s taken me this long to do this. Oh well. Anyway, 38% of you did vote to toss this dress, which is an intimidating number to me. But I got such lovely comments from Kevin, Annie, and Maria, that I think I have to keep it. Actually, I’m going to put this on probation. If I don’t wear it in the next six months, it has to go.
Ah, the first truly difficult decision of the morning. My Cross-Country tee (https://voltee.wordpress.com/2010/10/18/the-vault-of-nostalgery-opened/). I don’t think I’ll wear this, but I can’t bring myself to get rid of it. I think it’s just fine if I save ONE drawer for a Vault Of Nostalgery, where I keep things I like to touch but not wear. I feel a little guilty, but I’m going to keep this.
Ok, my New Year’s Eve blouse (https://voltee.wordpress.com/2010/10/19/681/). Thankfully, everyone agrees that this one should stay. So I’m keeping it. Jen, I wish I had found that dress at the yard sale! I must have gotten there too late. Sigh. But at least I still have this blouse!
And now for the Nearly Vintage skirt (https://voltee.wordpress.com/2010/10/20/spontaneous-eruptions-of-joy/). 60% have voted for it to go, and, I suppose, I agree. It’s good-bye. My first toss of the day. Not all that painful.
Next, my Tommy James blouse (https://voltee.wordpress.com/2010/10/21/tommy-james-and-planted-wedding-dancers/). I’m on this fence about this. But I think it’s worth mending. And thanks for all the nice words for my necklace, too! This is on probation, too. If I don’t fix it by Spring, gone.
Unfortunately, I have to go to work. I ran out of time. I may wrap up a little later, and then start with a new piece tonight. We shall see! Stay tuned…
