Closets

Some people’s closets are nice, neat, organized, and come complete with a door to close them off from view.  My closet can be best described as needing to be excavated on a good day and perhaps deserving of a match on a bad. Dealing with it has been put off for just about forever.  Seriously, it has been a longer than I want to admit.

The first problem is that I actually use an extremely limited wardrobe consisting of tunics, leggings, t-shirts, jeans, and a few shirts. Oh, and three leather jackets.

I don’t remember the last time I wore a good dress, skirt, or fancier. Probably pre-pandemic. Certainly not in the last few years. But, like many of my generation, the thought of getting rid of perfectly good clothes that I might possibly need again in the future is abhorrent. Especially since I don’t go for style or fashion, Classics last forever, right?

And then there are the “special environment” clothes – tan & white for Africa; long underwear and winter weight for cold climates. Again, neither of which I have needed in the past five years. But, since I haven’t rules out heading to severely hot or cold climates – it would seem stupid to give them away. Plus, especially with the cold weather gear – exactly no one here would want it. Thrift store in Lake Tahoe perhaps?

And lastly – there are all the sweaters I have knit over the years of which I have worn exactly two in the last few years…

Now I just need to excavate the bottom of the closet. And what DO I do with the bin of A’s Logo gear?
