Fall is one of my very favorite times of year. The weather cools (well not here today, but ...) and the air feels crisp, the leaves change, and there is a sense of anticipation. Even as a kid, when I wouldn't necessarily look forward to going back to school, I still enjoyed it when fall actually announced itself.
For me, and maybe also for you, it means switching out most of what is in my closet and dresser drawers. The shorts, sleeveless tops, and sandals get put away to make room for heavier clothes, shoes, and boots. I like to change purses as well, and update my makeup. Granted, this doesn't all take me that long, since it's not like I have so much stuff to work with, but I am still determined this year to do it more thoughtfully. Too often I keep things because of "maybe" - as in, maybe it's better than not having a blue shirt, etc. at all, maybe it will fit again/fit better next year - you get the drift. Then when I pull it out the next year, I feel obliged to keep it.
Not this time. I am prepared to be serious about what I actually keep and donate what I can. Other stuff will either be repurposed, or thrown away. And I'm going to apply this rule of mine to everything I put away. Another bonus is that it will mean taking up less storage space, and in our house that's always a good thing.
Will it actually happen? Can I do it? Well, I'll keep you posted, wish me luck!
