possibly comical yet irritating
Arrgh! Why couldn't my mom have had fashion sense back when I still lived in her house full-time??
I'm attempting to clean my room. For the past year, it has reflected my state of mind: chaotic half-organization, which is somehow worse than total chaos because it means I have to go back and fix my previous attempts. Aside from the purging of unnecessary academia from my life (saying goodbye to a sizable number of books, notes and articles), my biggest organizational problem is clothing.
For someone who's barely employed, I have way too many clothes. My mom has gone crazy the last five years with shopping for me. OK, a wardrobe overhaul is practically mandatory for someone leaving college and entering the workforce. Most of the time I do like what she gives me. Right now though, it annoys me because I have sooooo much stuff to organize. Where was this wonderful resource back when I was a kid still in school? I shudder at some of the things she made me wear! :-P
ETA: Didn't complete my thoughts earlier. I just cannot throw things away. That includes clothes that don't really fit me well anymore, clothes that I've had for several years and find kind of boring now, and clothes that my mom insisted I should keep even though I don't like them. Waste not, want not, you know. But that long, sleeveless, clingy, leopard print dress hatefully hanging in my closet right now is starting to represent my bending to her will.
I don't like to wear animal print, bright yellow/orange, brown or beige or muddy-green tops, big floral prints, polka dots, horizontal stripes, skinny leg pants, high-waisted pants/shorts, frilly collars, things with huge metallic pieces, excessive beadery, puffy shirts, old-lady sandals, things with puffy sleeves, herringbone or plaid jackets/blazers...and ugh, I've run out of steam. *sigh*
