We are elbow deep into summer here in Taiwan. I am realizing firstly, it’s been a long time since my last post, and secondly, an even longer time since I’ve done any of my “Goodbye Things” challenges. Well, without further delay, let’s get started! For a quick review on Goodbye Things, you can view my original posts here and here. It’s definitely an ongoing process~ but I am slowly, but surely streamlining all aspects of my life.
For this post, I’m going to be working on Goodbye Things, Tip 6: There are limits to the capacity of your brain, your energy and your time. I’ve decided to apply this to my summer wardrobe, which has been kind of a haphazard state of affairs. I was in denial that summer was approaching for all of April and May. At that point, the furthest concession that I made was to take all the winter items that needed to be dry cleaned out of my closet. I stuffed them into a bag and left them in a corner of my apartment for months. Then for the next few weeks, I procrastinated getting my summer clothes out of storage, and proceeded to buy random items out of sheer desperation. Every morning, I would try to put together outfits from a confusing tangle of clothing from assorted seasons. Suffice to say, this method is not the best, and sets a rather grumpy precedent for the rest of the day.
