Does a Betsey Johnson ever go out of style?
I am trying to prepare my house for caravan tomorrow. (it’s on the market). My master closet typically serves as the “dungeon” of my house. I am a single gal! with a walk-in closet. Naturally if I don’t have a place to store something elsewhere in the house, then that something goes into my closet.
Now, I already have a good habit of going through my clothes at least once or twice per year and purging what I am absolutely no longer wearing. I used to hang onto everything, but somewhere along the way clothes began to pile up and pile up and those items that I thought “someday I’ll wear again” just became a joke, really after having children… I think every woman knows THAT routine. No matter what, after bearing just one child, your body is transformed. Hey! and I’m 15lbs lighter than I was before I even had my children….
I have just about cleared everything from the floor of my closet and now I’m looking at my racks. Even though I routinely purge clothing, I have always left my dresses alone. Even my darned wedding dress is still hanging in its gi-normous white bag. I wonder if I should try to sell the wedding dress. Anyway, I found a Betsey Johnson dress that I bought almost 10 years ago! wait, make that 7. I have a pretty good memory and now I can recall that it would have been 2001 when I bought this Betsy Johnson dress. It is an awesome dress. biased cut, open back with criss-crossed spaghetti straps and the print is black with big bright pink roses… I hate to part with it. However, after 7 or 8 years, is it just going to look shabby?
Just for fun:
NEVER YOU MIND the dirty un-showered hair!

I should try some of the others… ha ha ha…
Why does the closet purging at my house primarily occur on my side of the closet? Those summer high school football training t-shirts are still important parts of my wardrobe…
What is with men and their t-shirt collections, anyway? Ha ha ha… My ex’s collection was like an album of his life… and now even John has an entire bureau with drawers brimming with old t-shirts…I just leave them alone. what comedian was it that said you can “tell the story of a redneck’s life just by going through his t-shirt collection”? it was hilarious, maybe it was one of the blue-collar dudes, Jeff Foxworthy?
“…tell the story of a redneck’s life just by going through his t-shirt collection.”
Now that is witty and funny. I think the saving t-shirts thing has more to do with our inability to fully release the past and accept our current lives.
