And I got to. Today was laundry day, and per my vow, I was ready to clean out my closet. Of all the things I don't like, don't use...except I had to be careful. Some items in the back of the closet don't get used because they don't get seen.
So I dumped them all on the bed and played dress-up!
Much, much fun.
I have about 30-40 empty hangers in my closet now.... I got rid of a tan shirt that felt wonderful against my skin, but neither made me look good nor made me feel good otherwise. I really wanted to be able to pet it, not wear it, and frankly that's a waste of a shirt. Wrong color and wrong style for me. But I have some equally-soft shirts that did survive the culling! (And yes, the shirt I put new buttons on did stick around.)
I also discarded a brown-and-pale-green fuzzy (strokable!) shirt. If I braided my hair, it could probably have made me look 14. Either that or like I had been dipped in a chocolate-and-pistacchio parfait.... Or maybe just like I was growing mold. What was I thinking when I got that one??
I kept a white blouse with a v-neck that likes, when I lean down, to show just a bit more of me than I actually want to. I'll have to figure out how to stop it from doing that; and if I can't, I'll wear it around the house, as I find it quite comfortable, I like the way I look in it, and I'm sure Scott won't object to the effect....
Unfortunately, my last pairs of black pants have been discarded: two to the trash, as they're really too worn to serve longer, and the others no longer fit. So I will be doing a small bit of shopping, for a pair or two of black pants, I think.
