a monk's life
my most awesome bestest friend Sarah and I have been having a lot of conversations about clutter, and the means with which we deal with it. We're both very into getting rid of the old that sits and gathers dust to make room for the old that we love and can't do without. I am now finding myself daydreaming about making piles, filling bags and getting rid of so much stuff. Beauty products, art supplies, crappy acrylic 70s yarn, fat clothes, skinny clothes....I can't wait to ditch it all. Look out Habitat, here I come. The hard part is going to be making myself either repair the stuff I like that is broken or torn, or get rid of it. My adorable orange vinyl purse with the broken clasp..my beautiful green silk dress with embroidered taffeta overlay that needs serious hemming by a professional (aka not me)...these things need love. Can I give it to them? Or will I toss them aside like the many apartments and old navy shirts of my past?

Your poor closets! I saw the photos - I know what you did to them!
As far as fashion cycles go, I think that's why they suggest you buy quality "standards" and then go to Target or whatever for the trendy pieces. You can't hold on to 5 decades worth of clothing waiting for it all to swing back around into style again! I'd need an entire house to keep it all in!
HEY MELISSA!!! HOW DO YOU LEAVE MESSAGES ON THIS THING? HMMMM CHECK OUT THE PICS FROM THE OTHER NITE. YOUR IN ONE.
