This morning, I began the process of decluttering. First up is my wardrobe as I have accumulated too much. I was able to get a few garbage bags worth of clothes I never wore. This will go to Goodwill or Salvation Army with time. Maybe next week.
The decluttering will happen in waves and it wasn’t going to be done in one fell swoop. Not immune to it are some of my bags as well. I’m keeping my Coach (though I may give up one or two) and Michael Kors and will be using them again once the weather breaks.
Declutter is a verb that means to remove unnecessary items from an untidy or overcrowded place. An example of the word used in a sentence is, “There’s no better time to declutter your home”. A synonym for declutter is to simplify. In 2026, one of my goals is to simplify my life.
I set aside my Spring and Summer clothes. They’re in a storage tub along with my Christmas shirts. There’s no plans to get rid of these now. Hence why I said this was going to be done in waves.
As I clean out my drawers, I do plan on getting some more activewear later this winter (thinking late February). I’m getting more serious about the gym and having a routine all set up. Once the weather breaks (and January finally comes to an end), I want to schedule some time to walk outside.
The new park will soon be opening up just off of Mount Pleasant Road. That gives me another avenue for getting my steps in. When I have nights off, maybe a trip to Mammoth or Cedar Creek will be in the cards.
I‘m also thinking about heading to Going Going Gone or Old Navy next month to help me in my exercise journey.
My nontraditional style isn’t going away completely at the moment. I’ve been wanting to restructure and have less for a while. I’ll still have my scarves and my bags for now. My leopard 🐆 print isn’t going anywhere either. That’s my trademark and it’s always a hit. Maybe when Sara and I do our coffee date at Cutie‘s next month, I’ll wear something spotted. In these four years, the journey has been 50/50. It hasn’t been a failure, even though I could have taken my time growing it. It’s far from perfect though.
