We were moving to another country, It was the perfect opportunity to do some serious sorting of my wardrobe, drawers and suitcases full of “packed away just in case” clothes and all the accessories that go with it. I figured the easiest way was to look at what I had, sort out complete outfits and match them up with the accessories that I wore with them... the plan was to get rid of all the extras.
To a degree the plan worked. I ended up with some fabulous outfits, finding items I forgot I had. Some I had never thought of putting together, matched with items from my drawers full of Jewellery I had not worn in years....I save everything as things have a habit of coming back into fashion..... I remember owing a pair if 3" platforms many many moons ago....and look at what the teens of today are wearing!... platforms!
Anyway, back to the sorting.... it was, in principal, an easy plan. Except it wasn’t .....It works out that I have around 6 tops that match and one skirt or pair of trousers. So the dilemma, do I keep 1 or 2 and disgard the rest? If so, which ones do I keep, the newer ones, or the ones I love & wear the most? You see where I am coming from here huh! I tried every which way to look at it... I sorted them into seasons, I tried work & leisure, I tried colours and trends... but no matter which way it went, it was impossible to decide.
After much soul searching, humming & arhing, I came up with a new plan....Ship the lot!
So 6 boxes of clothes, 2 boxes of shoes & a box of bags & accessories later, here we are, in the new house, with new things to learn, new people to meet & new places to go, but with all my much loved old items.
