Cleaning Out My Closet

For some reason this world has treated me cruely and my husband has the Master closet. It is bigger and has a light. I am currently fighting to get it. I'm not sure how he got it in the first place.

Anyway, I use a closet in one of the guest bedrooms. It is smaller and there is no light. I don't help this problem. Every week I get my work clothes dry cleaned. When I bring them home I put the clothes back into the closet - plastic bags and all. This bad habit has gotten worse and I drastically need to correct it.

So, my good friend Candice is coming to stay with us this weekend and will be in the guest bedroom. I was mortified of this closet so thought now is a good time to clean it out.

I started by removing my shoes pair by pair so that I could organize them better. Suddenly, there was a room of shoes. I counted.

85 Pairs!!

Lined up one one side of the bed....

and the other.....and the other....Rafa was quite intrigued by this process."Can I have one, mommy? You have 170."

Unfortunately I have no before picture but - trust me - the change is dramatic.

***UPDATE: No I do not wear them all. Truth be told: there are quite a few that I should donate and quite a few that I should just throw out. But I have a hard time parting with shoes.

P.S. I also have another guest room closet that holds all my dresses and suits.
