Clearing out my clothes and it feels surprisingly good

"Have you been watching that Kondo thing?" my husband asked.

No. I have just suddenly got to this point of utter ruthlessness and it feels great.

Context: I've been working away from home a lot over the past two years, and so we basically had two flats and two of everything. I moved back before Christmas and JUST squeezed everything into our one flat in a sensible way. Doubles of kitchen stuff in storage in case needed in the future.

But my clothes had been bugging me. Too many of everything, loads of stuff I wasn't wearing, everything got crumbled from being smooshed together / falling on the floor. Stuff that I used to love and still just about fit but just didn't make me feel great anymore.

Now I'm 10 weeks pregnant and keenly aware that I'll need a few maternity things + baby will need space for a few things of their own. OUT it all goes.

I've filled 4 big bin bags. I still have shoes and bags to do. I feel amazing. I have a wardrobe of clothes I actually enjoy.

Now if only I could convince husband to do something about his unworn t-shirt collection...

Grinwe watched that Kondo thing last night and I went straight upstairs to do the same.
I love the idea of a capsule wardrobe but I'm pretty hopeless at achieving it.

I've not seen the Kondo programme but after years of living in clutter I decided to get ruthless. I sorted my wardrobe and most of my drawers this weekend and just dropped 6 bags at the charity shop.

Also sorted dds wardrobe, loads of stuff outgrown. I was going to save the best bits to sell on eBay but nope, I need it out and gone.

Well done OP, keep it up!
