paring it down

Listen. I have a lot of shit.  Honestly.  I'm two Chipotle receipts and one neglected pet away from being the first google image result for the word "Hoarder."  (Do yourself a favor and do NOT google image the word hoarder)

I hope that gives you an idea of what we're dealing with here.  My biggest problem is clothing.  I know there are definitely people out there who have far more extensive wardrobes than I do...but they at least probably wear most of their clothes.  I have racks of neatly hung (okay fine, piles on the floor) of clothes that I never wear.

The reason I'm giving you all these pack-ratty details that you didn't ask for is because of a few blogs that have inspired me.  First is Chez Larsson, where everything is fresh, crisp, white, clean, and organized.  Speaking of organization, I also love the organized closets on IHeart Organization. These have really given me hope that a clutter-free life is possible for me.  And I'm thinking that maybe if I post about it, there will be some level of accountability.  I know all six of you readers will be nagging me constantly for updates on the state of my messy closet.

I'm not giving you a before picture because my boyfriend would keel over dead, or break up with me, which are both horrible and you're sick for still wanting a before picture when I have clearly explained the potential repercussions.  But maybe if I have a beautiful closet someday I'll post a picture to satisfy you.

My mission starts TONIGHT as I begin the long and hopefully-not-too-painful process of paring down my insane closet (that spills into the rest of the apartment).
