Uh oh. I may have just come up against the limitations of my decluttering blog. I actually don\u2019t have this problem, so I don\u2019t know if I can be of any help in this area.<\/p>\n

I could tell you that\u00a0I keep my wardrobe under control by being frugal and organized, and claim to be\u00a0all zen and everything like that,\u00a0but in truth, the only reason I am successful in the area of wardrobe control is because the clothing lobe of my brain is really small. (The pen and pencil lobes are much, much larger.) [see Fig.A]<\/p>\n

I have discovered that once I reach a certain critical mass of clothing items, they will sit there unworn while I forget I have them. Any garment that doesn\u2019t fit into my field of vision at a single glance will not be making its way onto my body.<\/p>\n

Trying to figure out what to wear is the most stressful part of my day. I want to look reasonably good, but I don\u2019t want to deal with it. Therefore I own just a few items of apparel that all sort of go together that I mix and match.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I am unequipped to advise on how to fight back the urge to shop. My entering a clothing store is an event that can only come about with the assistance of a team of coaches — one to drive me to the location, one to open the door, one to push me inside, a couple more to run around and fetch me things and bring them to me to try on in the awful little room of mirrors. If I didn\u2019t have Lindi and some nieces, I\u2019d be down to a pair of mismatched pajamas with holes by now.<\/p>\n

Oh well. At least here\u2019s one area of life in which I\u2019m not a greedy pig.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
