Today's big project was starting to sort through my spring/summer clothes to see what fits, what I will keep, what needs replacing, etc. I don't really think I'm going to have to buy anything. Shoes, maybe. My summer shoes are pretty old and ratty. The big issue will be getting rid of about half my closet. I'm a clothes hoarder! I try things on and they really don't fit or flatter and I still can't bring myself to get rid of them. I set aside a small pile for Goodwill and there are still probably 30 tee shirts left. Nobody needs that many tee shirts!
I have pants and shorts that bag, tops that look like I stole them from the rag bag, and I still can't get myself to discard them. They are about as chic as a disco suit (and some are nearly as old) but I'm attached. Some of them aren't even good enough to donate to the thrift store, but I still hang on. I remind myself that if I try to store all of these things in my closet and drawers I won't be able to find the good stuff, and yet they stay.
I think the clothing thing is a symptom of my life. I just can't get rid of things that don't work for me any more. If I can get past the polo shirt with the big stain on the front and the baggy lavender shorts (Alex says they take a crease beautifully) maybe I can get the office organized. Or, maybe not.

One of my friends made a t-shirt scarf out of favorite concert t-shirts. An interesting way of remembering special times without cluttering her closet. I'm thinking about doing something similar for Jason with some cartoon t-shirts -- he's already given permission :)
