Revamped!

My room was in much need of a day full of reorganization, which is exactly what I did on Monday. I spent the whole day (noon to 9pm) cleaning out my closet, getting rid of old clothes, putting together new furniture, and getting rid of my broken bed frame and the stuff mindlessly stored under it.

 

Getting rid of clothes is one of the hardest things for me to do. I don't even know how many times my mom has said to me, "You need to get rid of some of your clothes. You have way too many clothes! I bet you still have stuff in there from high school..." I'm 25, by the way, and no, I do not have clothes from high school still residing in my closet. She doesn't even have to be in my apartment to have an oppinion on the amount of clothes I have. I'll be visiting and we'll be in the car on our way to wherever, probably TJ Maxx (I LOVE to frequent the one by my parents, I almost always find something I love and it's so reasonable!), and out of nowhere she will ask, "You don't need clothes. You need to get rid of what you have before you buy more. You have way too many!" Get out of here, mom! I do not, and will get rid of them when I am good and ready!

That ready feeling finally came. I tend to hold on to things thinking one day I'll find use for it, or having more clothes gives me more opportunity to mix and match when, in reality, I really just wear pretty much the same things 90% of the time. Leggings, boots or sneakers, a comfy top, and a scarf. Well, the pages are finally turning and I am starting to feel that less IS actually more (well kinda). It's definitely hard when you live in an apartment with other people and most of what you own or have accumulated over the years is confined to your room.

This is a start to the cut back.
