Runway MY Way
Clean Room: OUT w/ the old & IN w/ the new
Hi my luvs,
So earlier on my journey home as I listened to A. Keys on shuffle and stared out the window on the train I had a random thought about some shoes I recently got. I was wondering when they would have their moment in the spotlight and what I would wear with them. That thought triggered a mental screen shot of my closet and all the shoes I have that I have yet to wear or have only worn once or twice. Don't get me wrong I am the first one to purchase a pair of shoes no questions asked, but as I mentally went through my closet I realized its a new year, new day and I need a new start. I hateeeee letting go of my things. I'm convinced I can always utilize them at some point in time. It's like that episode of Sex and the City when Aden moves in and Carrie needs to get rid of half her closet lol. That's how I feel, but its not necessarily a bad thing. If I get rid of stuff I do not need, want or wear anymore then I can make space for the new luxuries to come this year. At least that's the plan hehe.
I really wonder why is it hard for us, people emotionally attached to our "things", to get rid of them? Afterall, they are just material things and can be replaced one way or another, but we hold on so tight to them. I am not sure about yall, but I take my clothes/shoes/bags VERY seriously. Letting someone borrow a pair of shoes is almost a no no depending on who they are and where they are going. It's like signing out an organ with me lol. Iunno. I had this great epiphany today that my attitude the past few weeks has been negative for lost of different reasons. The life of an up and coming fashionista can be a scary one. Lots of disappointments. It's really a 24/7 grind that you have to keep at in order to get any kind of results, but it does not make it an easy grind. As we all know nothing worth fighting for has EVER been easy, but our attitudes definitely impact our lives on a daily basis. So I figured later today I am cleaning room: out w/ the old & in w/ the new. Ofcourse it will be extremely hard, but its necessary I feel. Whatever I get rid of I am going to donate, some to the Haiti relief fund and probably give away the rest. New year, New day, New closet. Wish me luck :-).
