It’s time to clean my room again. This means mostly cleaning my wardrobe. I think I have pieces in my closet that I’ve had since high school, possibly middle school. No, that can’t be right. There’s no way that anything I wore in middle school fits into my current aesthetic.

Anyway, everytime this seasonal cleaning day comes around I always realize that I have a lot of clothes, A LOT. The worst part is that I can never bear to part with any of them. I always think “Oh I can still wear this when I’m feeling ___.” I’m usually trying to recreate a look that is actually outdated but since it works with other things in my wardrobe, I think it works period. For someone who has a lot of clothes, I’m really bad at putting outfits together, unless it’s a costume.

Have you ever seen Clueless? Do you remember in the beginning of the movie when Cher is trying to get dressed? She is at her computer and there is a program that looks like a paper doll of her and every piece of clothing in her closet is catalogued in a database so she can sort of mix and match to show what she would look like wearing these pieces. I need this program. It would save me so much time in the mornings. Maybe it could even tell me if one of my pieces doesn’t go with anything and I could just sell it or give it away.

So today is the day that I go through that pile of clothing next to my bed, sort through my hamper, shuffle through my closet and take out anything I don’t wear anymore or anything that isn’t seasonally appropriate and swap it out with the winter stuff I have in boxes. Oh boy.
