2006/9/10 Spring...Or Is That Fall Cleaning?Growing up...my closets were huge walk-ins with walls and walls of space. This unfortunately kicked in my habit of being a clutter bug and pack-cat. ("Pack-cat" is my other name for pack-rat...I don't really want to call myself a rat.) It also did not help that my mother took me shopping every weekend with the same ending Saturday ritual of modeling my newly bought threads to my grandmother at lunch and then to my father before dinner.
In today's grown-up world of Crystal...after years upon years of living with the OCD demon...I have finally decided to face the fact that now with four closets of bursting skirts... dresses... suits... shoes... scarves... and jackets... many of which still have tags...I need to loosen the burden and donate more than my usual seasonal tote of diggs. It's a disgusting habit that I want to put in my past. I thought typing the words and admitting how extreme the issue is...would help my resolve...and that the below picture would be so embarrassing that I would at least start with this closet today.
I am so overpowered with my collection of unnecessary items that I sway toward the same simple pieces each week. I mean who needs two pairs of red snakeskin leather pants...or five large straw sun hats that have never been worn? I'm not Asian (a red Mandarin mini dress) ...a stripper (my multiple hoochie-hoo dresses...skirts...and belly shirts covered in sequins and glitter...not to mention the six inch stripper boots that light up when I walk)...a school teacher (seasonal Bunny and Christmas sweaters have to go)...or a teenager (how many novelty tees does a girl need?) I cannot let the hippy stuff go though...my collection of tie-dye...long shapeless skirts and sandals make me happy on the weekend! I mean...how could I even possibly think about discarding Cooper's favorite XXL braided hemp shirt that he gained at the last Grateful Dead concert in 93' from a hippy named Bob in exchange for a beer?
Today...is the first day...of the rest of my unvain...unspoiled...and clutter-free life!
