No, not that kind.
Although now that I think about it….
Maybe one night would be alright.
No…
I’m talking about my damn it, the shelves are about to break walk in closet clothing purge.
Last week I sorted through 107 pairs of jeans and capris.
This week? I attacked the shirts.
Should I tell you there were 133 stacked there…. and that’s not counting what was hanging or hiding in 3 large bureaus?
No… I don’t think I will.
Purging is work.
And time consuming.
Not to mention depressing as hell when you realize how many items you actually can’t fit into anymore.
(If you’ve never done this, and have no idea what I’m talking about?
You’re too thin…. and I don’t think we can be friends.)
What to keep?
What to discard?
I purged.
And have 4 more bags to donate to Salvation Army.
Yes, I hated to give up the Sometimes I Amaze Myself tee shirt… because damn it, sometimes I do!
But you have to be ruthless when you purge.
Before – 133.
After – 47.
Ruthless.
I was ruthless I tell you.
Apparently just like the sadistic bananas at your local grocer’s.

Before my wife ventures into her closet, she ties one end of a rope to a bedpost and the other around her waist. It is how she finds her way out.
Me? I never go into my closet. It’s full of her stuff.

I allow my husband a section. I’m thoughtful that way..
Good tip about the rope though.

I actually have a large seasonal shoe rotation and wear most. Though I do admit the older I get the farther the high heels get pushed to the back.

Well good for you, even if you gave up your “amazing” T-shirt. And I totally get what your saying when we do this only to find that things we fit into a couple of years ago no longer do, ugh. Darn you chocolate croissants!!!

I hate to admit it, but I found things I’d never even worn before I outgrew them. That’s not only sad, but pathetic.

Less is usually just less when it comes to me and clothes…. but it definitely is a more tidy pile.

Just because you can fit into 47 (if you stop breathing for a minute or 2) why do you NEED so many???

I don’t need them all of course… but one likes to have a selection from which to choose.
And the clan is the Kardashians… which I wish I didn’t know.
