Note: A few weeks ago I mentioned randomly my "out with the old and in with the new" clothing theory which keeps my closet simplified and pared down, but always fresh. Whenever I buy new clothing I pull out older clothes from my closet that I haven't worn in over a year or no longer reach for and stick them in a donation bag before I put any new items away. I never imagined anyone was paying attention to the explanation of my little ritual. Then, a week later, I received this email which with permission, I am publishing for Life of a Rock Star readers.

How about the shirt with only a "small" hole in it? Gone. The shirt missing a button? Nope. The 1980s blouse with the wide lapels? The too small blazer that hasn't been worn for at least a decade? Out! Out! Out! Read More...
