Home Organization: Sometimes You Just Gotta Let It Go

Home organization means sometimes you have to declutter, you have to let some things go.  Take the above shoes.  Those were in my closet, but they aren’t anymore!  Just like other people who hold onto their belongings, I was holding onto them because I ‘might’ wear them ’someday.’  I’ve really moved into much higher heels recently as I wear a lot of dresses (dresses are nice and forgiving!) and I’m on the shorter side.  But I kept holding onto these shoes because I thought I might wear them to a consultation someday.  Of course I always passed them over every time I got dressed, consultation or not. 

I finally decided to give it up and realize that I wasn’t wearing them and I wasn’t going to wear them.  And while I was at it, I parted with really cute shoes I had recently purchased at a consignment shop.  Now I know why someone else got rid of them-they hurt!  Cute or not, it doesn’t make sense to walk around in pain all day.  There are more cute shoes out there to be had!  I actually parted with several pairs of shoes that day.  I really don’t have a ton of shoes, but I want the ones that I am keeping to be shoes that serve me as both cute and comfortable.

So when you are looking at your belongings or your clothes, really be honest about whether you are currently using them or not.  Don’t just hold onto things because you might use them someday.  You are either using them or you’re not.  Stay on top of home organization by letting go when you need to!
