Sitting here, on the sofa, I exactly know why I am so tired right now. I have spent the afternoon busy de-cluttering. Running back and forth from the closet, since today's focus was on clothes.
High-end clutter from a high life, I was not meant to live chose not to live.
Farewell, you life, who isn't meant to be mine, not in a lifetime. Boohoo.
Some of the clutter is special. In more than just one way. Laura Ashley, tailor
made, silk and cashmere ... I will try to get some bucks for these. That's why I've spent a decent time ironing as well.
The other clutter - the pile pictured below - will magically transform tomorrow at the homeless shelter. That's where clutter (=trousers and sweaters we don't wear anymore) turns into someone else's new wardrobe and by that it loses the label "clutter".
All clothes are without any flaws: no stains, no holes. Tomorrow's trip to the homeless shelter will be a true win-win so to say.
Shades of grey, blue, accompanied by white and black. A perfect staple wardrobe, including everything - from the coat to the undershirt.
Mr Paula was very supportive. Not only did he let go off two trousers and two jackets, but provided me as well with carboloading.
You know. The brains rely on carbohydrates and de-cluttering the wardrobe is all about making decisions. And bending and stretching and more bending and stretching.
He got the twist:
Now that I am really tired from all the de-cluttering, the photo clutter will have to wait until next week.
I've been busy cleaning out our closets and letting go of high end clothes as well as the ones that will go to charity. It never ceases to amazame just how many things we think we need and how many of them we actually use :-(
ReplyDeleteNo 24hrs later I receive an email, my mum bought new clothes for me. Pyjamas. "It's good to have a spare one". Oh nooo! ;-)
DeleteI'm so impressed, not only with the clothes pile but also with Mr Paula! The 'special' clothes look very nice indeed, lovely subtle colours and fabrics that feel so good next to the skin. Are those skirts that I'm seeing? JUST what I need!
ReplyDeleteSend me an email, including your adress, and you will be served! I mean it, seriously. The skirt (the bronze-coloured one) is very you. And very petite. Which again is very you.
DeleteDecluttering is a wonderful thing. I do it all of the time :).
ReplyDeleteHi Susan! Which room in your house is your favourite room for decluttering? I started in the kitchen a few years ago. Right now the bedroom is getting very ... productive!
DeleteSeit wann spricht man in Wien englisch ;-)? Where can I find the recipe for "vegan Marillenknödel"? Sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteKind regards

Gute Frage! Ich bin vor gut drei Jahren über Australische und Amerikanische Blogs zum Bloggen gekommen. Rund die Hälfte der Leser/innen können nicht deutsch, verstehen aber alle Englisch.
DeleteThe recipe is in Mr Paula's brains and hands BUT I am going to document the making the next time which should be in approx 2 hours from now. He is starting to feel uncomfortable. ;-)
