If only one third of your clothes are mistakes, you’re ahead of the game -Nora Ephron
Last Friday, with a little too much energy after turning in the magazine job, I started sorting through my clothes to make a flea market pile. It struck me as a good idea to lay out all the clothes I do wear the most on my bed, hence the photo. The good news is I could easily fit these in my suitcase (plus some sensible shoes), but what I am wondering is: if this is all that I really wear, why do I have all that other stuff?
The shopping strike is going well. A couple years more wouldn’t hurt. Now what to do with all those books..?
soundtrack: room eleven – shyness (I like the idea of a cocktail dress requiring a party)

I have to go through all of my clothes and get rid of most of them for moving and I am not looking forward to it. I still have the two full garbage bags of clothes that I got rid of the last time.

I’m doing that too once or twice a year, and I can’t believe how much clothes I really have but not use..! :S
I wouldn’t give/sell away the books if I were you! maybe you can store them somewhere?

No, I don’t want to give away all of the books, just some of the books.. there are too many books! :)
