right now, i am thinking that spring must be coming, because just like every year i am getting the urge to buy myself a (some) new dress(es). the fact that there is absolutely no justification for this, and that my wardrobe can barely close as it is, is of course irrelevant. i mean, look !

this one is sort of calling my name too...

You have to commit to giving two things away for every new one you buy because you "want" it.

This does two things.

1. Cleans out your closet.

2. Makes you really think if that one new garment is worth loosing two current garments. (btw, you can count two shoes as 1 item)

you know, i like that plan, particularly as i have been trying to sort through my stuff (including clothes) and get rid of a lot of it already.

can i count stuff i already gave away, if it's recent ? i should have enough for at least 3 or 4 new dresses, if yes.

(and do paper books count towards dresses ? probably not, i guess... too bad !)

Excellent! Afterall, we wouldn't want you to buy something without firm reasoning behind the decision.

You're just feeling sorry for yourself because you have to eat ice cream!

well, you *may* have a point, in that the common ground between ice cream and those dresses is that both require warm weather to be enjoyed (by me, at least).

(i'm still waiting for my ice cream !)

More difficult than would be thought isn't it? I get the same problem with new tools...

Maybe you could do it this way.
Choose one item to give away. Go out, do it, and on the way back stop in the right store to buy a replacement ..........eleventy items!
