Keeping IT Real (Sort of)

I have been talking about cleaning out for several, several, several years. I talked about it five years ago prior to our move, it would have been less to haul and since our current home, so much so Eric doesn't believe it will happen. He's the neat one in our family, he received the clean genes from his father's family. Well, the process began this weekend. I cleaned out my closet.

The before photo, don't want you to get to good of a look.

27 Dresses, 20 Blouses, 14 Skirts and many other items. All going to our St. Vincent De Paul Shop. It really wasn't as painful as I thought it would be. It's only been three days so time may tell a different story. This is the after. Now I need to do the walk in closet, two other closets and the ENTIRE basement. There won't be any before pictures of the basement thou. Oh, thankfully the attic is good. I am very selective in what I bring up there.

I don't feel the need to go shopping to fill the closet, some people say that happens to them. I have just the opposite feeling. It made me sick to get rid of perfectly good clothes that I haven't worn in some 20 years. Yes, some dresses I have had for just over 20 years. I may NEVER clothes shop again. Thankfully, Mick nor my Mom read this blog. I wouldn't want Mick to read about my no clothes shopping pledge & I would not want Mom to see my before closet picture.
