Hi friends,
One of my
friends said she has no time to clean or tidying up her house properly as she
has better things to do.
I haven’t. Ha-ha!
What else
can be better things to do in my life? Having “the base” I feel comfortable and
maintain it. That is absolutely essential to me. The base denotes the place I
live, as well as eating and self-grooming (inc. clothing). Cannot ignore them
as they are affecting me every day and they are what make of myself and my life.
I work full
time, sometimes do silly hours and it involves trips to abroad. I might not
have enough time either. That is why I decided to live with the things I can
manage, I can look after at the comfortable level of standards.
I own around
100 things to wear. My absolute number is 111. If it becomes over 111 items,
something has to go. 100 things
sounds a lot, but trust me ladies and gentlemen, they are not. This number represents
from a winter coat to a pair of knickers.
I do “inventory
check” on a regular basis. First off all, it is rather drastic, but empty the
wardrobe to check all the stuff I got in it.
Then, start
from my favourite things out of all items – dresses. They look a lot, don’t
they? I allow myself to keep 30 dresses in total. They have not quite reached
the number yet. As I wear a dress at work, I am comfortable with this number.
It is just reflection of the frequency of use.
Then, jeans.
I love blue denims since I was a child. I used to sleep in my Levis to make
them looking shabby when I was a teenager.
These are all my favourites but the very right
distressed looking pair has to go. Why? I liked them and they looked stylish
and sexy but I felt like a mutton dresses like a lamb in them.
Some ladies around
my age proudly say they share dresses with their daughters. Well, that is good
for them but definitely not for me. If I dress like girls in the office, I am
sure I look cheap and silly. They look nice on them as they are still in their
20s. There is always a limit and I see the boundary between being quirky and being weird.
