I’ve been thinking of cleaning up my closest for the longest time but have always been too lazy to do so. I’ve been a full-time stay at home mom since February but I still keep all my “working clothes” in the closet. I finally decided to de-clutter my closet last Friday.
I pretty much survive on a daily uniform of shorts, t-shirts and slippers. I wear jeans and a t-shirt when I go out. I really have no need for long-sleeved shirts and dresses and blouses. I figured since I mostly wear the same things over and over again anyway, I’ll also reduce the number of shirts that I’ll keep.
After emptying out my clothes on the bed, I realized I had so much underwear that’s no longer wearable that I still keep. I don’t know why I did that. I also had scarves which I never use and bags stuffed in bags which I don’t use either.
In the end, I decided to store my “working clothes” in case I’ll ever go back to working in a school or office again. I also kept my dresses just in case I need to wear them. I’m not really a dress person and I’d hate to buy a dress just to be worn once.
I did keep a couple of nice shirts in the closet. I also limited the shirts that I’ve kept. I just chose the ones I really liked and that I wear more often. It shouldn’t matter if I wear the same shirt to two different occasions with the same set of people, right?
So, here’s my closet now and I’m loving all that space. 🙂
