at least the boogy man is definitely not hiding in my closet

I cleaned out my closet this weekend. Because I AM GOING TO MAKE SPRING COME TO VIRGINIA if only by the sheer force of my now spring-shifted wardrobe. If sweaters for temperatures below 40 are in boxes, then no temperatures below 40 will be outside. Or so the thinking goes.

And I discovered that I have enough spring dresses to, if appropriate work attire weren't an issue, wear a different one every day for a month. If I add skirt or trouser and top combos, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have to repeat an outfit between now and July. Why do I keep buying clothes for spring when I spend every winter wearing the same black trousers two and three times a week? Oh, right, spring stuff is cuter.

Dude! WTF!? This is the sort of thing that makes me look like a terrible, overconsuming clothes monster. But hey, thanks to my bad shopping habits, three happy fat women who shop at Goodwill will now have black, 3/4 sleeve button-up shirts! And two will have nearly identical black v-neck sweaters. Hrm...

Cleaning out my closet always makes me feel like a badshoppingjerk. It's a small consolation that spring is actually the most responsibly consumery segment of my wardrobe. I almost never get rid of a cute spring dress.

Wow, I'm jealous!!! Should have done a fat chick swap, although I'm sure I'm a bigger lady than you. Well sure may be a strong word;)

Most of the clothes I'm getting rid of aren't particularly fascinating, but I haven't sent them to Goodwill yet. It's mostly basics, t-shirts & button-downs sizes 14-18 and XXL, and a couple of pairs of 20-22 pants. If any of that stuff is your size (or the size of someone you know), I can give you a full list. It's all in good shape, just stuff I probably never needed to begin with.

Eh, we all have our vices. It's not an excuse, but you know, you're human! At least you're thinking about them, unlike a lot of people. I have a soft spot when it comes to clothes too, especially at this time of year. Must! Buy! Skirts! Aieeeeeeeee!!!!!!
