I am clinging to the little victories

Went out into the garage with a recently-purchased vat of laundry detergent. Frowned at all the stuff underfoot, and was moved to accomplish a load of laundry...I have two sweatshirt-weight lounging gowns, which turned up amid the overflow. It would've been nice to have them in January. Set aside a few items to pass along to J, and in the process, rediscovered yet another skirt that sank into obscurity in a pile. *sigh* That's the second one this week.

I've come to the decision that something has to be done. I want to build a free-standing clothing rack. (T made one for S, they're dead easy.) I need a set of saw-horse brackets, two 2"x4"x12' studs cut in half and a length of pipe to go between the resulting inverted V's. I've got a $25 prepaid credit card, and that's enough, according to HomeDepot(dot)com.

I may probably should need to thin out my wardrobe in general, but how can I when I don't know what's where?! If I could just get everything put up where I could see it all and figure out what will go with X, and how many of Y do I have, and does Z fit/ever have a prayer of fitting, and if so, would I actually wear it?

I need to do the same thing- when the week-end rolls around and my choices are cleaning out the closet and doing something, anything else, I pick the latter. I HATE cleaning out closets! I bet I have stuff in there I haven't worn since my youngest was a child and she's 25. On the other hand, I do have some quality clothing that has held up for nearly 21 years- a denim shirt from Banana Republic as well as a light weight white top from Casual Corner. Sometimes, you really DO get what you pay for as the aforementioned items were pricey at the time.

I can only think of one item from that far bac that still fits, and I don't wear it much as it's getting a bit ragged. But yeah, you pay more for quality.
