Lessons from the closet

The Great Cull continues and I've spent the last few days, well actually almost a week, cleaning out and reorganizing my wardrobe. I'm lucky enough to have a fairly large space and although I do have to share it with The Bloke, it might be fair to say he doesn't get half, more like one rail and some shelves. The clean out has taken much longer than anticipated and still isn't finished.  But I have learnt some truths from the ongoing experience.

1. Regarding your jewlery box, if you haven't seen the mate of your favourite earring
(when you were 19) for the last 10 years, it's time to throw it out.

2. Never keep clip on earings, they are enormously uncomfortable and never stay on without sacrificing blood flow to your lobes.

3. Don't keep your pre-baby clothes, they're just there to depress you and they're now out of  fashion.

4.  Don't keep your old tights to use as plant ties in the garden. That's why God invented
string. PLUS in the summer the tights will disappear not to be found again til next winter  
 when you've given up looking and used string anyway.

5. Buying all black socks so you always have a matched pair is a great idea, but don' forget
to match the sock length as well, or you'll look a bit eccentric.

6. Never ever buy clothes that would fit if you just lost 3kilos. They hang there reminding
you of your failure.

7. Never throw out your man's tatty old t-shirt that has a hole in the back because it might
be his favorite Stones concert shirt from the 80's and he won't be pleased.

That feels like enough lessons for this week. Hopefully I'll get the wardrobe finished this weekend and be able to post some pretty end result pictures.


See you in a few days.
