It's purging time

I like clothes... like a lot. Oh and I also like shoes and purses... a lot. Throughout the years I have managed to accumulate way to much stuff. Between a packed closet and plastic bins filled with purses I'm on material overload. I have been feeling really convicted about the amount of stuff I have, so last night when I got home from work I decided it was time to purge. Time to purge things I hadn't worn... time to purge things that weren't as modest as they should be... time to purge the excess. I started to clear out my closet, and with each item I took out I felt a little better, which motivated me to take out another item, and another item. It was liberating to clear away the clutter piece by piece. Somehow it felt I was doing more than just making room in my closet. It felt like it was the beginning of a simpler life with less stuff. The purging was the easy part. Now comes the tough part... not adding double what I just took out.


Here's the pile of clothes I cleared out... and that pile is only going to continue to grow! The more I clean out, the better I feel. Once I collect it all I'm going to take everything that is in good shape to good will so that my clothes can have a second life with someone who might need them more than I did! Have you ever purged your closet? I strongly suggest you try it... it's a pretty awesome feeling!
