Even Oprah is doing it!

Cleaning out her closet that is! Her most recent issue is about cleaning out her closet. She's such a copy cat!

I've been cleaning out my closet since February 2009. I moved out of my house the last week of February 2009. I didn't have the time or energy to organize what I wanted to keep or dish. So I moved all my clothes to my new place here in Woodland Hills. I don't have half the space for all those clothes and as I was putting everything into my new place, realized I had a bunch of stuff I don't wear. I put all the things I wanted to sell at a garage sell in storage bins. Not thinking I worked most weekends so when would I have this garage sell? Plus, I hate garage sells. Then summer hit, I took all my summer clothes out, and also realized I have stuff I don't wear. Into storage bins they went. I'm diligent about organizing my clothes, if I haven't worn them in 2 years, if I know I don't feel good in those clothes, or they don't fit and can't be altered - then they go! I've made mistakes in my shopping, buying things because they are a good price.....2 pairs of Michael Kors suede boots, one brown, one black. Worn them one time!!! Grrr I hate it when I waste money like that. I know better now.

So with all this, my closet now looks beautiful, my drawers are organized, everything is item organized, and color coded, so beautiful!!! I'm keeping my closet doors open, just to bask in it's beauty. It's a Virgo dream.

I have bins and bins full of clothes, shoes, handbags, accessories, etc. all waiting to go.

I'm having a private sale - not a garage sale. I envision a beautiful day, a platter of pastries and good coffee, a backyard filled with clothes, and women finding treasures and a good deal.
