clothes

I suppose it's just as well that my local anthropologie doesn't carry the clothes I'd like to try on... I'd go broke. I did go to free people yesterday, and without much thought got a sweater I don't really need, but that I liked. It is a yellow-green reverse stitch hooded sweater with a turqoise-blue and daisy-patterned lining that extends into the hood. Then I realized looking at their website that their market is teenagers. They are a teenage anthropologie.

Yesterday I took all the boxes of papers and books out of my closet, in response to the inspiration that my closet should be exclusively for clothes. Now the boxes are sitting in the middle of the room, with the other boxes that were already there. In my closet are some plastic drawers that I got from target, which weren't that expensive but which added up to sixty-something dollars, more than I thought they should cost, but not so much that I would shop around to save ten to fifteen bucks.

Now I must resist buying clothes and filling up the drawers. Next I must:
[ ] reorganize all the things in my drawers and closet
[ ] clean out my desk drawers
[ ] figure out where to put the nine or ten boxes of papers and books

I have been reorganizing a lot recently. The closet was the most recent project. Before that I took all the stuff off my bureau and left only the essentials-- cd's, newly organized; discman & speaker; lamp, alarm clocks (2), perfumes, incense, box of buttons and size tags. Sounds like a lot but it's not. I also cleared out a drawer in my other bureau and put all the stuff I had been keeping on top, away in the drawer. That led to my thinking about the closet because the clothes that had been in the drawer didn't have any place to go. And before that I got bead boxes from a crafts store to use as jewelry boxes and organized all my jewelry. And before that I organized the top of my desk.
