Seasonless Dressing

Two weeks ago I cleaned out my closet, which was a six hour ordeal. My closet is something to behold and quite possibly be ashamed of. Before you minimalists start shaking your clear coated nails at me…I did donated four garbage bags of clothes. As a former resident of Michigan I am used to clearly defined seasons, which does not always happen in Maryland. It usually goes something like wearing sandals from May until the middle of October and then suddenly pulling out those winter boots. Granted a very nice mild winter. As a result I have never changed the clothes in my closet from season to season. What I have is out all the time. Ok, I do have some space for it but not a ton. Having plenty of friends who change their closets every season I was more than interested to read an article about seasonless dressing…http://news.independent.co.uk/europe/article3041049.ece. So my question to you all is how many of you rotate your clothes? How many like the idea of being able to wear everything you have all the time? Or is it a great surprise to pull out those clothes you haven’t seen in awhile? I also have a challenge to you all; grab a friend, pull them into your closet and have them help you weed out all those close you never wear. Make sure you grab someone tougher than you are because letting go of those clothes can be like losing a limb. A friend of mine also suggest turning all your hangers in one direction and them turning them back as you wear a piece of clothing. Anything you did not wear during the year needs to go. Alright get to it.
