Yesterday was a bit of rainy day so I stayed in and did some damage online shopping. noooooooo!!! One of my New Years resolutions was to not buy any unnecessary items of clothing. Well.... I made it to March 10. Bleh.
Ive been purging the last couple of years and I shared how I'm trying to implement the kon Mari method. But I just can't get the hang of tidying up everyday! I always let things get chaotic during the week (dishes, laundry) and then spend my weekend taking care of my chores. Such a bad habit that I need to break.
Anyway, I've been trying for years to get my clothes and shoes under control. I used to have job(s) that required many different outfits so I often had 4 different wardrobes going at once. One of my jobs required that I be up to date in terms of fashion and I always had to have put-together outfits. Anyway... I don't need all this stuff now! I mostly wear suits/ Blazers/dresses to work and am in sweats or gym clothes on the weekend. Everything else is unecessary and complete excess. I did go through spurts of buying new clothes when I was dating, but those aren't getting used right now either!
Long story short- My apparel is something that I want to stay on top of, and I feel really guilty when I buy new clothes...I just got the urge to do some shopping yesterday. I got a little bit of a bonus at work which is why I justified it.... But even then I needed that money!!! With $3000 monthly lawyer bills... I definitely don't need clothes.
So this morning, I got up and started getting rid of stuff to make room for the new items. One thing I decided to do was clear my closet of anything my ex got me. Sweaters, hats, lingerie.... All gone! It took me a while to get to that point (almost 3 years to be exact!) And as I was shoving the items into the donate or toss bags, I did so with a huge smile. Feels good to continue to rid him of my life. I think, at this point in time, anything that reminds me of him just brings about bad energy. Time to clear my life of that! So, I'll take that as a win.... A little pricey win.... But a win no-less 😉
Hope you all have a pleasant week!
