Yes, I did size up 1/2 size. I’m usually a 7 1/2 and I got an 8. They are a tad big but I think the 7.5 would be too tight.

Wonderful! I’m so glad you like them. Did you go up a half size? That’s what I did. I might could have worn the true size; I waffled back and forth.

Hi Kay,

I ordered the Paul Green ballet flats at your recommendation. I needed a new pair of leopard flats…and I am giggling that last year leopard was “out” and this year back in again. I had collected a lot of leopard the year before, so I will get it all out again this season! I have been on the search for new leopard flats so I am thrilled with them…they just arrived.

I have a nice size closet. Four years ago, I had 300+ items hanging in it, and it wasn’t over-crowded. I never said, “I have nothing to wear.” What I often said was “Which one of these am I going to wear?” This started my closet purge. I change out my closet twice a year…spring/summer and fall/winter. Each switch I brought the number of items down. It IS an emotional journey for all the reasons you gave. But now I have about 90 items that make me much happier. My next goal is 65 or so, and I think that is where I will stick. One of the aha moments as my closet became more and more co-ordinated was realizing how many outfits 55 items make … 10 pants/shorts/jeans + 30 shirts/popovers/t-shirts + 15 top layers (jackets/cardigans/ponchos) makes … wait for it … four thousand five hundred outfits. 4500 outfits to wear in 182 days. It was a paradigm shift, for sure.
Thanks for your post. Very re-inforcing.
