Set of Sephora lip glosses

Sephora gives a little bonus gift to customers on their birthdays, which is a nice gesture. There is a downside, though: you don't get to choose the gift. I don't wear lip gloss, so these have been sitting around, untouched, for months. Precisely the sort of thing I don't need to keep.

Nail polishes 1 and 2

When I graduated from college, I thought I had to start acting like a grown-up. Buying boring nail polish was one of the first things I did before I started my job—I figured I was too old to continue wearing my favorite super bright and super dark colors. It didn't take me long to ditch that idea and go back to wearing colors I like. These hardly ever got touched. They're several years old, and it's time for them to go.

Sunglasses

I'm not really a sunglasses person. I've owned one pair in my entire life that I actually liked, and they broke one day when we were sailing (I know, I know—first world problem). I've kept the broken pair because I'm pretty sure they're fixable, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I got a couple cheap pairs as replacements, and I like the other replacement pair more than I like this pair, so I won't keep these.

Green earrings

Confession: I own a truly ridiculous amount of earrings. Seriously. I don't even want to count how many pairs I own, because it might not be a defensible number. Still, I wear nearly all of them regularly. Not this pair, though. I have a pair that's similar to these, but in a color I like a lot more. While I hardly ever wore these, I'm sure someone else would love them.

One-shouldered top

I love how one-shouldered shirts and dresses look, but it turns out wearing them is a hassle. So, while this top fits me, I'm not going to keep it. I may not be too old for vivid shades of nail polish, but I am definitely too old for the whole exposed bra strap thing.

Painted sign

I made this to take to Seattle's Rally to Restore Sanity, but it didn't fully dry in time. Damp paint + public transportation + crowded event seemed likely to result in a minor disaster at best, so I decided to leave the sign at home. I stuck it in my office and forgot about it. I cannot think of a situation in the future where this sign is likely to come in handy, so I am just getting rid of it.
