Bags and Bags and Bags
This morning I am wearing the most outrageous skirt. It's very long and very floaty. It's got a black under layer and an upper layer that's also black but with big white patterns and a fair amount of tiny silver sequins. It's not really appropriate for work but I have what I think is a good reason for wearing it.
Yesterday I went through my entire wardrobe and tried every single item on. The result is three bulging bin bags of stuff. Two are destined for the recycling dump and the third (some good labels and barely worn clothes) is intended for a charity shop/shops. I would put things on eBay but there's so much stuff that it would take ages just to get it all sorted and photographed. Some of the clothes are flat out too big, some are things that have gotten a bit scrappy, some are just things I shouldn't have bought in the first place because they were never going to work on me. Everything must go!
Parting with some things was hard. There are memories in clothing. But I kept telling myself that every item that went out meant one more thing that I could shop for afresh in a smaller size! *grin*
So, the overly fancy skirt I'm wearing... it's a very beautiful skirt. It's also about two inches too big already. I realised last night that I was in great danger of needing to get rid of it without ever having the chance to wear it again. So I'm bloody wearing it! I have a few other similar items and, over the next few days/weeks, I shall be wearing them... even if they're a bit inappropriate for the situations I'm in. *grin*
However, the PVC catsuit may just get thrown straight out. *wink*
