Do you ever get one of wild hairs that makes you itch to do something crazy?
Well, being the wild, crazy, hip chick that I am, I am selling off half of my closet.
Am I daring, or what?
Ok, perhaps not, especially since I will still have a whole slew of clothes that I really don’t need. But I’m working on it people!
You see, this past month, I’ve had an epiphany of sorts. I realized that stuff is just that. STUFF. And it clutters up our lives far too much. I even laughed aloud at myself when the fact that I was nursing emotional attachments to far too much STUFF slapped me hard in the face.
For instance, is it really necessary that I keep my prom shoes from 10 years ago? Or those three nifty black shirts simply because I remember the moment I purchased them (and the shopping high that came with it)? How about all 18 pairs of jeans in various shades?
Before, I would have answered “YES!” and gasped my heart ala Fred Sandford style. But now, I find that I no longer hold the same attachment to things that I use to. Perhaps it’s part of growing up, perhaps it’s due to becoming a mother and forming an even stronger “attachment” to a living being, or perhaps (just perhaps) I’ve wisened up to the fact that too much clutter makes it hard to keep a clean house. Doh!
So here are 2 of my listings so far. One of the auctions is for a 31 pc. set of career clothes (button down shirts, slacks) and another is for a 37 pc. casual clothes (jeans, cargos, pullovers). The career set includes a pair of brand new Banana Republic fully lined pants with all tags still attached ($88 price tag). Both auctions start off at just .99 cent and I have no reserve price. Shipping on one is just $6.95 and $8.95 on the other.
