A Day Spent in my Closet
My common sense woke up and I was reminded to be kind
I spent the day in my closet. About twice a year I feel the need to go through everything that resides in there. I’m one of those women who lusts after a closet with a chandelier, motion sensor lights, and perfectly organized designer clothes with single digit sizes.
Not so much my reality, but that’s ok. I got something much better. A day in my closet woke up my common sense and reminded me to be kind.
Down to my skivvies
I started the process by stripping down to my skivvies. You can’t try on your duds while wearing your duds. I started with the lower half. For me that’s jeans, numerous pairs of black stretchy pants, denim skirts, khaki skorts and several pairs of short shorts which led me to question my judgement. They must’ve been on sale, why else would I have short shorts, unworn and wadded up in the corner?
Common Sense Number 1
It’s not a good idea to buy something just because it’s on sale.
Short shorts are not now, nor have they ever been, a good idea for me. Saving money on something I know I’ll never wear just loads my life with junk I’ll end up getting rid of later. It’s also dumb.
