4-Excesses

49 pairs of shoes including winter boots, flip-flops in 6 colors, dress shoes and running shoes. And I am shopping for another pair...

I have arranged by shirts/blouses by color.

I have so many things. Thing require them to be washed, ironed, dusted, put away, stored...I have a penchant for accumulating more things and I truly do love a good sale and the Dollar Store! This week I will make a concerted effort to
1) Use up (as in food in the pantry, shampoos, craft items, fabric) before purchasing more
2) Consign what is just taking up space (and probably save the money to buy more stuff!)
3) Donate that which consignment will not take .

This will be the hardest part of this week because I always think the clothing will come back into style, it is too good to just "get rid of" or I will lose 4 pounds and it will fit again. I can't figure out why it's so hard for me to party with items that I haven't worn in a year.

I have started taking the stuff to the basement and IF I change my mind it is there for a period of time (and I have occasionally rescued a few blouses and a slip!) Who wears slips now a days...
