After buying a third rolling clothes rack because I’d run out of closet space, I decided it was time to start cleaning out.
Actually, it was past time. As I began sorting through closets, I realized I had accumulated wardrobes in seven sizes ranging from the junior 13 I wore in college up to size 3x. No wonder I had no closet space!
I once heard an organizational speaker say, “If you haven’t worn it in two years, you won’t miss it. Toss it.” That was my criteria as I began pulling items from the closet.
It was like a “This Is Your Life” fashion retrospective. There was a satin gown with sequin trim I’d worn in an early 1970s UTC All-Sing (what were we thinking!) and a number of city shorts with coordinating blazers from when that fad blew through town. In all, four decades worth of fads were represented.
I had saved all these clothes because “someday I might wear them again.” (Don’t judge ladies, you know you’ve all done it.)
