Sorting out the past with clothes

Tweet

hi past January I began reading a book called "Simple Abundance". This book is all about re-evaluating our lives and simply simplifying them so we don't feel so rushed and act like we are on auto pilot. One of the steps was doing that emotionally hard task of clearing out the closet. Sounds simple, but it's not. Because a lot of us put an emotional price tag on our clothes like we do most other objects we have acquired over the years. The author suggests to set aside two hours on a day when you know you will have time to do this. Make sure you have the boxes and bags you need and pull everything out of your closet and set it on the bed. That way you have to complete the task. She also suggests to do this at the change of the season. And then you start by figuring out if the piece of clothing actually fits into your lifestyle or actually fits you. If not get rid of it. And once you have parred down the wardrobe you can play dress up like you did as a child to find what works for you style wise. According to her it is not about fashion at this point in our lives as we embark upon the simple abundant path it is abotu style. So have you done this this year? Do you fear doing this? Do you need to do this?
