what's in my closet?

Since we house nine people

(five of them full-sized)

in 975 sq ft of space

I'm pretty good at getting rid of stuff,

but somehow

there's still always more that can go.

I'm joining Simple Mom's Project:Simplify 

and when Tsh revealed the hot spot

I really wasn't sure I'd have much to weed out;

I go through my clothes regularly!

I've got four 21 1/4 inch shelves

one 27" x 17" drawer

and

3 feet of closet space

for my entire wardrobe - for 4 seasons.

My lifestyle doesn't really require many clothes

so I'm usually pretty content with what I've got

(provided I have at least one decent fitting pair of jeans)

except

(there's always an 'except' isn't there?)

when we have an event that's out of the ordinary.

Then I tend to get in a tizzy....

oh ~ almost forgot,

I also have a 15 x 10 x 12 inch basket
for my jammies and Cuddle Duds.

I decided to be ruthless

and ended up with a whole box of giveaway clothes and shoes

and surprisingly,

a small bag of actual trash.

I'll never understand that one!

In my defense, though, most of the trash

was boxes I'd saved 

- you know - just in case....

I put all of the girl's dresses in their room

and suddenly,

I had margin in my closet!

I'd prefer a little more margin in my time

but hey - I'll take margin anywhere I can get it.

I have a feeling

the other Hot Spots won't be quite so easy for me,

but this challenge, I rather enjoyed.

Thanks, Tsh, for encouraging us 

to 

simplify.
