Its nearly Christmas - so why am I going through my wardrobe?
Its about time to chuck out the old work clothes and remember that I am now officially (gulp) retired. So here I am going through the whole of my wardrobe, I realise I have lots of long sleeved tops. After wondering why I realised that at work I 1. wanted to cover up the bat wings! and 2. was cool in the airconditioning. Hence all the long sleeved stuff. I also have numerous work logo tops, a few of these I will keep, as they will be useful to wear on our next overseas trip, and not bring back. The rest are going out.
When I say out, I really mean to St Vincents DePaul Society, (think goodwill, 2nd hand clothing store). But I only put in things that can be worn again. Anything else is used for rags on the car etc. But I always get at least a 2nd life out of things I buy, not because I am short of cash, but because I hate to see waste of resources. A couple of things are over 10 years old, but still in perfect nic, these are mostly loved heavy jumpers and coats, that did not get used that much as we have such a short winter. I can see these being snapped up at Vinnies.
So far there is one big garbage bag full, and I have not yet finished.
This brings me to how I organise the wardrobe. It used to be non work and work clothes, that does not work anymore. Now I have going by pants vs. tops, then by winter vs. summer, then by colour.
So organised, it is wonderful. I realise I dont have that many summer tops though! (see the bit before about long sleeves).
