Oprah closed down the Harpo Studies and decided to part with her beautiful pieces in order to further aid the education of young children in her school. Oprah&#8217;s digital auction is live and ready to make some lucky woman&#8217;s closet very happy.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview discussing the auction Oprah said, &#8220;I just don&#8217;t need all this intense color, the embellishment, the heels anymore. When you&#8217;re in front of TV cameras every day, you have to stand out, but I&#8217;m in a different place now, and those things no longer serve me.&#8221; She went on to say, &#8220;I was holding on to clothes that were all about a dream I had for myself. I chose them for this idea I&#8217;d gotten into my head of how someone like me was supposed to live, but they had nothing to do with my actual life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The auction includes items from designer faves such as Gianfranco, Chanel and Manolo Blahnik.<\/p>\n<p>Feeling inspired? Oprah is encouraging her supporters to follow suite by doing some spring cleaning of their own.
