dedicated to simplifying my consumption and accumulation of stuff (especially clothes), one step at a time, starting today 6-1-11 for one year. Ok, 2 years. Well, now we're going into Y3. Make that 4. - so who's counting anyway?

...in the midst of everything,
I've been tidying and/or escaping by reading novels.
But I did finish going through all my clothes (which included tops, skirts, pants, dresses, jackets, coats, scarves, hats, gloves, socks, undies, pjs, shoes, boots and bags). Oh my.
~ Guerra de la Paz ~
Let me give you the stats.
I got rid of 32 big garbage bags (to Goodwill). It me took about 3 weeks to go through all the clothes, and then reorganize what I kept and put it in place.
I'll break it down by category:
4 bags of tops to go, 4 big piles to stay, took 2 days
3 bags of dresses/skirts to go, 3 big piles to stay, took 2 days
6 bags of pants to go, 3 big piles to stay, took 1 days
3 bags of jackets/coats, 4 big piles to stay, took 2 days
0 bags of hats/gloves/scarves to go, all stayed, took 1 day
4 bags of socks/undies/pjs to go, 3 piles to stay, took 2 days
8 bags of shoes/boots, ? to stay (just enough to fit in my available space!), took 6 days
4 bags of purses/totes, ? to stay (I stopped counting the keepers), took 2 days
Then I went on to books...
...but that's another story.
The perfect match.
Especially by my hand-made clothes and that unrelenting fabric stash. Oh, my.
