A few months ago I decided to clear out as much things as possible to go for a Minimalistic look.
The purpose of this goal was to create better organisation to my life and not to be so cluttered up with things I never use.
This goal has not been reached - I have more things than ever, and now I am feeling very cluttered, untidy and messy. This is not sitting well with me, I am starting to feel very edgy about my 'chaotic' life.
I have a huge box sitting there empty, just waiting to be filled with things to sell/give away/throw away and it's about time I started doing it.
Surprisingly enough, my biggest clutter now is actually Clothing.
I have been reading several articles about Minimising the wardrobe for maximum potential (just google 'Minimalistic wardrobe' and there are several articles and blogs on the issue), I know I own far too many articles of clothing.
I know I would never possibly wear everything I own.
Yet I still can't seem to part with anything.
Why? Because I am a hoarder. Plain and Simple. I am far too attached to Possessions and I shouldn't be.
So what am I going to do about it?
Over the next couple of days, I am going make a list of the things I need to get by comfortably.
Then, after that, I intend to go through my Wardrobes and clear out the things I will never wear/things that have been sitting there for more than 3 months unworn and put them into the big box. If, after a 2 weeks, I don't use anything in that box or miss it, I will sell it/give it away.
As much as I love my shopping trips, I tend to buy too much of things I do not need. Now My Wardrobes are so cluttered up with new things, I can't actually find anything or remember what I have got. The doors on the wardrobes are the only way of holding everything in too, so now I don't even like opening them because everything just falls out. It's a nightmare when I want to wear something, because I usually end up wearing the same thing.
So, let the organisation commence...
