This week your not going to see my mess. Why? Because this week I am cleaning out my dresser, and people there are some things that I just don’t want to expose to the world. Except on accident, like that time years ago when I got my skirt stuck in them during a trip to the bathroom at church and didn’t know it until a kind lady in the back row jumped up and pulled my skirt out.

It didn’t take me long to do this weeks project as I am delighted to say my dresser drawers stay pretty uncluttered most of the time. I got in the habit a few years ago of evaluating items each and every time I put my clothes away. What I mean is just before I put my clean clothes away I take a few seconds to tidy up what clothes are still in my dresser drawers and if I say to myself “it has been ages since I wore that” into the giveaway box it goes.
Because I am so on top of tossing clothes I don’t wear I only found two items for the giveaway pile even though this time I emptied out each drawer completely in the process, and thought about why I want to keep each piece before I placed it back in the drawer.
