Saint Bria Helps Me Pack

Thank you Jesus for Bria!  Bria is a friend from church who loves styling people for fun.  I decided to hire her to help me pack for England.  After all, we're only taking what we can take with us on a plane in two 50 lb. suitcases, one carry-on and one personal item.  She was sent from heaven!  

Bria went through all of my clothes, told me what to keep, and then we dressed up my childhood coat rack with mixing and matching outfits and took pictures - 38 of them.  We pared down and pared down again until we got my essentials ready to go.  I feel like I have a whole new wardrobe, but I actually eliminated about 75% of my clothes!  I feel so much better now that THAT is taken care of.  And to make matters even more relieving, she spent the night and did all of Nathan's clothes with me the next day.  I can't recommend her highly enough.  She was worth every penny.  I told her she could totally make a business out of this process.  I think she's going to put some business cards together soon. :)  

Here are some of my favorite outfits.







By the way, PLEASE contact me if you are interested in inheriting the clothes that did not make the cut.  I have so many, but I want to give them to someone who will love them.  You can come over and take what you want!  Whatever is left over I'll drop off at Goodwill sometime next week.
