Tornado warning

A tornado hit last week...

In my room that is! Actually, it looked like a tornado had spun through it a few weeks ago. I have yet to clean up after the wreckage it inflicted on my closet. Shoes, clothes, cardigans, socks galore. It's an explosion of Express, Target, Converse, flip flops and heels. It's disgusting. I fully intended on cleaning it, but alas I haven't.

I have this thing where I go through all of my clothes at change of season. It has been particularly bad this year, because I have shrunk and now my clothes look like parachutes on me! My plan of attack is pretty great. I start with my shoes. Going through shoes is pretty painless to me. I usually put them on and strut around my room, feel them out and decide which ones get to be donated to the Salvy. It doesn't take me that long. Did y'all know I have an obsession with sneakers? I mean, I practically have to live in them because of work. Even though I've worn them for a bit, I still donate them. Who knows if they actually make it to sale again, but whatever. 

My next area of attack is of course the closet. UGH. Going through the task of digging through Winter clothing, is such a pain in the arse. It is during this moment in time each year, when I realize that my clothes suck. I am a solid girl. I really like wearing solid colors. When you're of a different body habitus (a larger one to be exact), prints aren't really your friends. Even now I would RARELY wear a print. If I do, it's usually floral. I'm just not a print girl, but I'm trying to expand my avenues all right! I'll sift through sweaters, long sleeved shirts, jeans and of course jackets and such. I like to donate my clothes, it doesn't make me feel so guilty. I probably could do the whole cosign store thing, but I honestly don't care. I'd rather donate things that are in excellent shape, to people who need them. I take REALLY good care of everything I own. I recycle "old" phones to family and friends that literally look brand new. Box and everything.

What's going to be really interesting about the clothing store tornado, is my summer clothing selection. I bought lots of summer clothes last year for vacation, that don't fit me anymore! It's extremely fun and exciting for me to go through them, just to physically prove to  myself how much I've shrunk! My scrubs on the other hand, are among some of the few things that I will have a tough time getting rid of. I need to go to the scrub store and see what pants I actually fit into now. My MC Hammer scrubbies are not doing anything good for me these days. If I put my phone in my pocket, I risk losing my pants all together! EEK! I'm secretly thrilled to buy new clothes and scrubs, but am really nervous about it.

I just can't get over the whole spend more money, just to fit into things for a little while. I really need to get over this. Knowing me, I'll wear the shit out of my clothes until I absolutely have no other choice but to get rid of them. My plan is to attack my room tonight! I'm off to the city this weekend to visit my Auntie and Uncle. I haven't seen them in over ten  years, and I miss them so much! They're my favorite Auntie and Uncle I have, I'm really close with them. Sivan (my cousin) is turning four this weekend also, so I'm glad I will be there to celebrate with them!
