Cleaning out my closet...

By Unknown 08:32

As you can probably tell, it is quite rare for me to get a weekend free from work/social engagements. So last weekend, I took full advantage of this by partaking in very productive activities such as opening up credit union accounts for both myself and Morgan, cleaning out my wardrobe, and the dreaded task of... throwing out shoes!

Yes I have been known to have slight hoarding tendencies and this especially applies to my vast shoe collection. Definitely one to rival that of Carrie in Sex and the City (just with much smaller price tags), I have shoes in every nook and cranny of the house. There are boxes under my bed, stuffed in wardrobes, and even taking up some space in the spare room. So on my quiet-ish Saturday after I returned home from Morgan's ballet class I began pulling my bedroom apart. A move I almost instantly regretted after I took a break to meet with a bride regarding her makeup and lunch date with my mum. I returned to the room feeling relatively relaxed, until I remembered what I had started...

But I continued my task and finished it with a glass of vino, just so I could really appreciate my work. And I have to say, I threw out about 12 pairs of shoes and individually dusted the remaining pairs that I carefully placed back on my now immaculate shelves. I organised my makeup, jewellery drawers, cleaned all the mirrors, rearranged picture frames, and even hoovered the blinds. The end result was me going to bed feeling so chuffed that my room felt like new again. When I called in my boyfriend and asked, " What do you think?" His response was, "It's the exact same." Lucky I had moved all the shoes back or he could have gotten a stiletto into the forehead for a comment like that!
