Why now?

I had a friend of mine ask me "Why now?" They referenced that I have gone 36 years of doing my own thing and doing just fine…

Here's your answer. I've thought long and hard about it. You ready?
I have no clue, but here are my top 6 best theories.


1. The clothes in my closet are stuffed and overfilling in such a way that I have no idea what I have. It would be nice to clean it out and feel good about it.

2. I like all my clothes, but I dream of being disciplined enough to only buy clothes that I love. I've wanted to do this for at least 10 years and so far I've failed. Will 2015 hold the same failures?

3. I love learning and mastering new skills, especially challenging skills. Fashion baffles me and the fact that I don't "get" it draws me in and intrigues me at the same time. I see it as a puzzle I need to solve.

4. I used to dream of being on "What Not to Wear." I imagine Stitch Fix is as close as I will ever get to that dream.

5. I have an artistic side and see clothing choices as artistic expression. Although, I recognize that more than not I am just buying sale items and dressing myself on-the-go with very little thought.

6. I have a bad habit of not wearing my very favorite or nicest items of clothing. I wait for special occasions. You know what I end up with. Beautiful pieces of clothing that never get worn!

So to best answer the question, "Why now?"
My best reply is, "Why not?" :)
