So as my wardrobe gradually becomes ridiculous and therefore redundant (I put on a shirt this week that fitted last year, and it was ridiculous - could have fitted invisible triplets under it. Had to wear a buttoned cardigan over it) a rule taught me by my Virgo chuck-it pals comes to mind.
What comes in has to be matched with what goes out.
So every new item of clothing that arrives (I bought two knit tops today, both on special), one has to leave.
It's going to be very odd at the end of winter to basically toss (to charity/rags) all my winter clothes. But given what's unwearable now, how can I not assume that, if I keep going as I have been, it will all be unwearable in six months?
I'm a natural hoarder, but that isn't a useful way to think about this. For today, two in, two out.
It was kinda nice to browse for smaller sizes - although not easy to work out what size really is me, right now. As ever with clothes, it's a bit dependent on the item - from the ones I tried on today, they ranged over four sizes, and different items fitted at different sizes.
I'm avoiding buying what I really don't fit into, yet. Time enough to buy when I do fit, or else I'll be engaging in another kind of hoarding.
