Okay guys. I did it. I’ve officially parted with my T-shirt collection. Which is a pretty big deal. Why do T-shirts hold such power over us? Like that 5K we walked in won’t exist if we don’t keep the T-shirt. Or we won’t remember anything about high school if we ever toss the shirt we got senior year on that marketing trip.
I don’t use my T’s any more. I used to work out in them…but since I teach so many classes these days I’ve accumulated a very nice collection of professional fitness gear. So I weeded out my T-shirts. Nearly all of them.
And I didn’t stop there…the more I put in the “get-rid-of” pile the easier it was to add to it. I really weeded the proverbial clothing garden in my closet. Anything that I didn’t wear this winter=gone. Things that don’t fit=gone. Things that I want to like, but never really do once their on=gone.
Add in the garbage bag full of clothes that Derek set aside for the “pass on pile,” our closet is looking pretty good. {It’ll look better in May…we are having some construction done!! But that’s a different post.}
Why, oh why did I pick this week, of all weeks to purge my closet? I’ll tell you…tomorrow…I head to Minneapolis…to go to the MOA! Yes, that’s right, The Mall of America, baby! I will never, ever buy more than I am tossing, but I will buy. I’ll buy things from this decade, things that fit, things that look like post-college.
Even if you aren’t going to the MOA {sorry for your luck} I bet you have some things to get rid of. And I was serious when I said it’s easier once you start. You’ll see. Try it. You’ll feel better without all that excess. I pinky swear.

PS…this is the only kind of purging I encourage. You are beautiful just the way you are.
