A Crazy Idea... My Cupboard Challenge
Maybe this won't live on "crazy" to most, but it's something I've been toying merely about amongst for the yesteryear distich weeks. I think it could live on fun, different, in addition to (hopefully) helpful... but I would dearest to hear your thoughts!!
^my cupboard over the years
Living inwards New York City in addition to having the cupboard that comes amongst it, has definitely helped me cutting dorsum on a lot of clothes. Plus, amongst the add-on of Andrew, I learned to cutting dorsum fifty-fifty more. I'm down, correct straight off to one-half a dresser in addition to ii racks of hanging space. It's the smallest amount of infinite I've ever had!!
I practise a skillful project of purging every hence often, and, for beingness a blogger, I'd tell I receive got a pretty express amount of clothes (at to the lowest degree compared to some friends in addition to family!). But why practise I all the same experience weighed downward yesteryear it all? I notice myself constantly thinking of clothes to acquire rid of to tending build clean out my life, but when it really comes fourth dimension to practise it, I hold back through my cupboard in addition to solely seem to acquire rid of i or ii things at a time. The take in is there, but I never really halt upward making whatever big changes.
I'm going to endeavour in addition to bike through my entire cupboard ONCE until I am done. This way I desire to article of apparel every unmarried affair inwards my cupboard at to the lowest degree i time earlier re-wearing something again. Like no rock left unturned -- we're going to become through every item, slice yesteryear piece, in addition to re-wear it all again. Basically bringing my cupboard dorsum to life, finding the items that I don't genuinely love, in addition to hopefully cleaning out inwards the process!
Why I am doing this:
-You'll notice things inwards the mirror are ameliorate than they appear -- Anyone ever hold back at items in addition to receive got wonderful memories inwards them or merely full general thoughts/ideas that brand you lot become "aww"? But in addition to hence you lot pose them on, in addition to you're similar wtf is this??? Because same. The retention is sometimes ameliorate than the action, in addition to I think this volition tending weed the bad pieces out!
-Physically putting it on volition tending you lot create upward one's withdraw heed it's fate -- Whenever I am cleaning out my closet, I notice that I'll merely fit it up, think nigh it inwards the way above, in addition to fit on to it. When you lot really pose your "favorite sweater" on, you lot recollect how itchy it is, or how brusque it tin live on when you're sitting, in addition to you'll in addition to hence recollect genuinely why you lot stopped wearing it. It'll tending us acquire rid of the non hence dandy things.
-I volition experience ameliorate nigh using my clothes -- And I'll halt amongst the guilt of keeping all these items without ever wearing them. Plus, if I acquire rid of the things I don't genuinely love, in addition to hence I'll live on able to hold back at my cupboard in addition to solely live on filled amongst happy thoughts (if that makes whatever sense).
-You'll re-find quondam favorites -- Re-wearing older items volition tending (I believe) me autumn dorsum inwards dearest amongst some quondam favorites! It besides gives some greater appreciation to the clothes, in addition to merely similar getting rid of what you lot don't like, it'll pick out dorsum to life the things you lot do!
-There is footling room for excuses -- I'm e'er saying, "well, I demand to continue this because I'll article of apparel it out, or for XYZ reason..." but straight off in that place is no "next time" in addition to to a greater extent than "now." So I'll either article of apparel it in addition to dearest it or acquire rid of it in addition to brand novel space!
The Rules: (preliminary in addition to bailiwick to change):
1. I must article of apparel it for at to the lowest degree one-half a day -- I demand to acquire a total day's article of apparel out of it. If I pose it on merely for a photograph in addition to and hence receive got it off because it's "uncomfortable," in addition to hence nosotros are really missing the grade here. So I'm committing myself to one-half a 24-hour interval of article of apparel time. I tell one-half solely because I operate out in addition to walk dogs inwards the AM in addition to don't desire to article of apparel it there, in addition to and hence when it's fourth dimension for dinner merely about 7, I besides desire to modify into comfy clothes. So during normal working hours, I must continue it on and...
2. If I modify out of it, I must acquire rid of it -- If I modify out of it for i argue or another: non fun to wear, non comfortable, don't like, pulling at it... etc. -- I demand to acquire rid of it. No feel inwards keeping it if it's non wearable!
3. I cannot skip items, in addition to I acquire iii strikes per item -- I can't live on like, "oh, I'll selection that i later..." in addition to never acquire merely about to doing it. If I continue skipping it, that way it's fourth dimension to go. The same affair amongst my three-strikes rule... if I endeavour to become far operate to a greater extent than than iii times without success, it's going out!
4. I cannot re-wear things earlier I've gone through everything -- in that place are obvious exceptions to this rule, but the full general take in is that if I've already worn a pair of jeans, I shouldn't article of apparel them i time to a greater extent than until I've cycled through the rest. Same affair for workout clothes, but apparently if I demand to re-wear a bra again, I can!
5. New clothes are welcome but apply to the rules above -- I tin all the same store (it's all the same me, duh), but the novel items are bailiwick to the novel cupboard rules!
