The long overdue spring cleaning!



“Some people dream of swimming pools. I dream of closets!”


I am typing this amids piles and piles of clothes, bags, shoes, belts.. U name it, its here. I am in The Closet, my sacred shrine as my husband calls it lol.





I've been here since yesterday, trying to figure out how to free some space, and increase the turnover ;p



Its just that I hate throwing out stuff.. Each and every piece was hand picked and made mine. It reminds me of something, somewhere or someone.. It is this "sentimental value" that I find really hard to give up on.



I know that a bag from 3 seasons past is not leaving the closet (not on me anyways) anytime soon.. But how can I part with it when I had my name on the longest waiting list, waited on tip-toes and was walking on clouds for days when I got "the call" lol?





And let's not forget the shoes.





I have invaded most of my husband's closet space as is, and there's nothing left but to cancel out those pieces I do not need anymore.





Its much harder than it sounds!





- to an endless walk-in closet xx

I say build a new closet =) i can't for the life of me throw a gorgeous(or at the time of purchase was lol) piece out, like you said, that has sentimental value. I would MAKE room for them if i were to ever run out of space and that includes turning them into decorative items thrown here 'n there strategically :P Me thinks if the new closet idea doesn't sound doable, give them to people you know would love them and take care of them. That way you never feel bad and at the same time you feel happy for making someone else happy!
