"remove to improve"

i love this mantra from one of my favorite blogs, Small Notebook. "remove to improve" can apply to makeovers of any size and any kind, from homes to your makeup bag. one project at home on my to-do list is to go through my shoe stash and purge. i try to do this with my clothes at least once a year, and i always feel good when i do...especially when i can pass them on to loved ones or donate them.
