More specifically, it is the day to do the summer-to-winter wardrobe closet switcheroo.
My god.
I own a staggering number of clothes. Staggering is the only word I can think of. How did this happen? I blame my niece and all the hand-me-up's she has unloaded on me.
The existential angst question now is: How come I own more clothes than I ever imagined possible and yet I always feel like one of the most poorly dressed people I know? How is this possible?
Does anyone (or everyone?) else feel like they have tons of nice, clean, contemporary, decent clothes and still feel like a total sloberino?
Also, how come if a person owns, let's just say: 15 sweaters, they always wear the same 3 or 4? What is up with that? Is this some Darwinian-from-the-caveman wiring in our brains? "I've only got one pelt so I'm gonna wear til I'm eaten by the saber-tooth tiger. I can't wear that new pelt, it's too nice. I don't want to stretch it."

Brave soul! I commend your efforts. I just can't seem to get into a seasonal swing, though you've inspired me to go slide open my closet door and stare at the mayhem (arms akimbo).
:) Good luck!
actually, I'm the most poorly dressed person you know (ask miss mushrooms, she'll tell ya)
I know the feeling but last year I gave away a bag of clothes that were hand-me-downs from my mother. I mean, I didn't feel very contemporary in them. Time to give some stuff away and don't look back. I say that but there are always a few sweaters, pants etc. that I hope to fit in again. sigh.
I hear chabonel has great work clothes deals going on this weekend. I don't know about you but what's worse than going through old clothes - shopping for new ones (groan).
Female offsrpring must, by law, dislike their mother's wardrobe. And say so loudly.
I did get rid of 3 bags of stuff. Deals or no deals, the last thing I need is to buy more clothes!
