I've heard before that first step in dealing with your problems is to admit you have a problem. I'm just not sure there's a support group for this problem...
{deep breath in...let it out...}
I am going to take you to a very scary place.
We are going into the dark, cluttered depths of my closet. (cue the Psycho music)
As you can see, until I pulled out quite a few shoes, I couldn't even get IN the door!
Here are some of the shoes I pulled out...
These are the ones I kept...
These are the ones that ended up going to Goodwill...I stopped counting at 70!
These are the empty shoeboxes I cleared out...
These are the purses/bags I could handle parting with...
Purses and shoes loaded up to go to Goodwill...
Empty shoeboxes loaded up to go to the dumpster at our friend's restaurant...
That whole presentation was somehow cathartic. I have every intention to weed out the clothes tomorrow and throughout the rest of the week, then get it organized and back in shape.
Wish me luck! I'll share the results here! :)
(Please don't hate me because of my hidden clutter!)

i'm impressed with the purging. you just might inspire me to do the same!
ReplyDeleteI just organized my closet Sunday afternoon...had been piling up for six weeks or so since the move. I had actually been living out of my suitcase for a while! ICK! I purged before we left Blackjack, so I just had to get organized. I, too, feel so much better. The real question is how you managed to part with that High Schools that Work tote...unimaginagle...chuckle, chuckle, chuckle! :0)
ReplyDeleteWOW! I thought I was bad! Glad you are finally taking the plunge and organizing your closet. I am in the process of decluttering everything in my house....I really does make you feel so much better! Good luck and I can't wait to see the results!
ReplyDelete1 Good thing about packing to move: it's a chance to weed out what you don't need to take to the new house.
ReplyDelete1 Bad thing about packing to move: you have to decide exactly what you don't NEED anymore, which is easier said than done.
