Closet Chaos

I was rummaging through my closet this morning and I realized I have 3 sizes of clothing in there. Realization is actually an understatement. More like mortification. So what do I get rid of?

 I don’t have A LOT of clothes, just many sizes of clothes. Clearly the smallest size will not fit me at this moment. The medium size fits a little snug but I gather that in 2 weeks time it fit like a glove (10 lbs. down so far). The largest size…well…definitely not fitting at all. What do I do? Toss it all? I get nervous because what if I gain weight? What if I blow up like a balloon? I’ll need a bigger size. Such a dilemma.

All the clothes I own are timeless. I don’t do trendy. Trendy is for people who have nothing better to do than buying clothes. I have work clothes, play clothes, dress up clothes and gig clothes. I have a lot of black. Not only does it make me look a bit thinner, but also it goes with everything. Very convenient.

And then there are the shoes. Last year I gave away approximately 45 pairs of shoes. Heels, flats, sandals, boots. It was liberating. Let’s face it…I’m not saving the dyed-to-match heels. The dress went to rummage years ago. Shoes are easy. I know my size. It stays the same.

And the bags. I love bags. I have many. Probably too many. Shoulder bags, cross body bags, totes, clutches. Bags are fun. I could build a whole new wing on my house just to store my bags and luggage. And cosmetic bags. I have a lot of those too. One size fits all.

It’s really not what’s in my closet, but how my closet is structured. I need an architect to redesign the chaos. I’ve unloaded the unnecessary items. Now I need to create a user-friendly space.

Anyone want to redo my closet? I can’t pay you but I’ll make you the best cup of cappuccino ever!
