Intervention

I have to preface this blog to say:  My name is Rachel and I am NOT a hoarder.  Now if you have seen any Oprah's you will know what I am talking about.  Yes I have been known to keep some clothes from high school in my closet but that is for purely scientific reasons.  The science behind it is how large can the Pottinger Feffy grow with every pregnance and my high school jeans give an accurate assesment of that growth.  So you see I just have to keep some of those critical items. Beacause I have so many science experiments my closet has become quite full.  So full that shirts have been known to stand on their own in tight quarters without the use of a hanger.  My closet is always neat and color coordinated - not like the closest of a hoarder I swear.  When Ivory and Casey came to visit Ivory had to show Casey my color coordination obsession and while they were in there they found some (OK, a lot) of shirts from the 90's.  Once Ivory saw that she staged a full-fledged intervention on my closet.  She and Casey meticulously went through each color section and pulled.  They pulled multiple colors of the same 90's shirt again and again.  At the end of the day I had 3 huge piles and a lot more space.  This is why girlfriends are essential.  They can be honest when you need their honesty and have no problems telling you that some of your clothes are WAY out of style.


3 garbage bags later.....

Space!



These hangers were full....

After all of that I REALLY love my roomier closet.
