Decluttering- again!

I started sorting out my wardrobe and putting away summer dresses today. This led to tidying my chests of drawers where I keep nightwear, underwear, t- shirts etc. If I haven’t worn it for a season, or it doesn’t fit, or doesn’t “spark joy”, out it goes. I cannot believe how many bags I have to take to the charity shop! The thing is, I did all this before I moved here. It was only three years ago, so how come I have accumulated so much unwanted stuff?

Yes where does it come from? I am decluttering especially the shed. I have seen some lovely sheds on Pinterest. Why can't mine be like that ?

I rarely go into our shed - DH would accuse me of untidying it grin

If I could afford it I would get rid of everything and buy a carefully co-ordinated wardrobe of just a few items. With the help of an honest personal shopper, my second daughter. I have been ruthlessly trying on shoes and boots and stomping about in them. If they are not comfortable, out they go. I seem to be left with ballet shoes, two pairs of leather boots, and converse trainers.
