The Changing of the Closets

[ellen_datlow]

Today, (after a false start a week ago when I though it was going to get colder than read the weather report for the rest of the week and decided to wait) I started moving my winter clothes to my bedroom closet and my spring/summer clothes to the back room (less accessible). I actually was able to force myself to get rid of one skirt, several tops, two jackets, and one belt. I discovered that I have enough short sleeved black shirts of linen or silk to last me several years, far too many silk charmeuse blouses of all colors, and too many jackets of various fabrics. And two long black velvet coat like pieces of clothing one of which, with a design element that I can't find the name of --black tubing? Anyway...I'm mostly done but couldn't stand finishing. Haven't done the shoes and haven't gotten my winter socks out of the duffel bag but tomorrow is another day.
A friend is over and we're going to a dinner party across town so screw it. For now anyway. I made Dinah happy as she was able to jump onto the shelf in the backroom closet and sleep for a few hours.

If you mean it has braids and cords and such in designs, that's passementarie.

I had laminate put down in the condo (and new vinyl in the bathrooms) in July and since almost everything had to be moved out and I had to pay for packing and boxes and such, I did a major runthrough of my clothes. Now all of them fit in the closet and in the chest that holds folded things. Although I'm looking at two new tie-dyed tops. I don't really need new tie-dyed tops, but the oldest is getting kind of thin....

Braiding sounds right...
Up next are my shoes/boots. I'm already wearing my regular black cowboy boots but have to move the other shoes/boots back and forth and force myself to get rid of those I NEVER wear.
