Phew! Master bedroom closet is done! While there’s still a little purging and arranging I could do, it looks pretty good. Only problem is where to put the Goodwill donation bags. I suspect they are closed for donations right now due to the lockdown so I may have to find a spot in the garage right now. (Anybody need any hangers? Lol)
I learned I do not need to buy any more shoes for the next couple years. Or any clothes really. I learned I’m far too ready for cold weather that never comes (ski jacket, wool scarves, a wool pea coat that I’ve never really worn because it’s too warm!). And that I have a boatload of band T-shirts. And if the occasion ever arises again to wear fancy dresses, I have outfits. Seriously I can’t foresee any event in the next couple years that I don’t have clothes or shoes for. I’m not a clothes horse but I seem to have accumulated plenty. Which is ironic because I tend to wear the same few outfits every week.
Next step will be to organize the hanging clothes by categories (work clothes, casual weekend clothes, dress up clothes, onstage performing clothes, freak cold weather clothes Lolol).
I got rid of a shoe rack which I realized hid the shoes too much - I didn’t know what I had and kept buying near-duplicates! I substituted an open shoe rack that I happened to have instead and it’s much better - I won’t forget what I have.
I also ruthlessly purged any shoes that weren’t perfectly comfortable. I’m too old to suffer for beauty.
There’s still nooks and crannies in the house that need organizing but these two closets this weekend have given me great satisfaction, and surprisingly large amounts of stuff have been purged.
Here’s to a new year unencumbered by excess stuff.
