QUESTION OF THE DAY . . . . 

How do I turn this. . . . .

 

Into this . . . .????????

I love how the "new year" means that every magazine has at least one article on "organization solutions."  My question is, where do you put the rest of your stuff????  Sure, if Bill and I had 7 pairs of pants, 14 shirts, 10 pairs of shoes, 11 sweaters, and 8 different bags and or hats this closet would be a dream.  Yet, if we only had that many items our closet would already be an organizational dream!   I have been through my closet and disposed of things that are not being used, or things I spent so much money on I could hardly part with (even though I never use it).

I am constantly trying to get my closet organized, and then once I do I go buy tons of new stuff.  What is up with that?  I have a friend who gets rid of something every time she buys something new.  What is the purpose of that?  The new seasonal colors are magnificent, so I buy some new shirts... but that means I have to get rid of perfectly good clothes that I like that I could still wear?  

I am afraid I am going to have to sell a kidney, and then take our closet to the next level.  Build a multi-level closet utilizing the attic space above my room.  I am sure the kidney won't cover all of the expenses, but maybe they would like my spleen too?  I don't think that is a very important organ.  People lose their spleens all of the time in car accidents when they don't use their seat belts and they seem to be doing alright.  I am O-, so I got that going for me -should be easy to find a buyer!

In the meantime I will practice my amazing ability to pull the same outfit out of my closet every time I get dressed.  Probably because it is on the end and is the only one I can reach!  Be kind when you see me wearing the same thing over and over.  I am organizationally challenged and I am very sensitive about my disability. :)
