With the arrival of Autumn and the putting away of summer clothes I have discovered drawers now brimming and absolutely no space for further purchases. Normally I would have two options, clean out or stop buying. I am on a constant clearout, having a box on the landing permanently for items that I don't' wear, don't like, don't fit and don't suit me This removes option one as there is nothing to clear out, I want it all.
I have decided to work my existing wardrobe rather than live up to my avatar. I will eke out every penny from my existing clothes. I will be a clothing commander, wardrobe warrior as Renee says.
You would think that I find shopping fun. No, I do not. I find scouring the stores boring. I do not go on sprees Pretty woman style. I wander stores not really conceptualising the item on the rail with my style. Its not lack of understanding myself, I have had my colours done, warm autumn, several times, and I know fit that works. No, when I am looking for something in particular I will not find it so why go on the hunt in the first place. How then have I managed to have so much?. TV shopping loves me, it really loves me, and its reciprocated. I tap the app, 3, 4, 5 times if I see an item I like adorned on a presenter be it jewellery or clothes, hair even. If I'm going to get the top in 2 colours then why not three, go on. Tap!
I am not limiting my cleanse to clothes either, no, also on the makeup and lotions, potions and nostrums front my room (floor actually) is overflowing. I have dressing table envy. A friend has nothing on her table. Its all hidden away in the dark in a cupboard. Today I had a dressing table clear out. The result was nothing more than a reshuffle and a bit of dusting. I must be realistic, my life would be delayed if I had to rummage in the dark for my morning face and night mask.
The minimalist in me is screaming to get out. Watch this space, when I can find it.
I'm starting with the first post I could find and reading forward. You might think I have nothing to do...wrong! I have too many things I'm trying to avoid, so going to get to know your blog. If you get a comment on a post a few years back, it's only me trying to understand your country and its ways.
