Organisation Challenge – Day 6 – Dresser top and Drawers

Sorry I am so behind on this challenge. I got lazy and put it off and then I had sick kids and my husband was away. Anyway, this challenge was super hard for me. I knew it needed to be done but this was a more emotional one for me. The top was no problem, just junk on top. I did that part first ;)

The drawers were the hard part. I have clothes of all sizes stuffed in there. The sizes range from size 10-18! Crazy! Before I had my third baby I fit the size 10 now its the 18 :( I have a hard time with this. I used to buy clothes I liked in my former size thinking that I would eventually fit them. So I have all these great clothes that I can’t wear and that makes me cry. It’s funny how my style has changed as my weight has changed. I look at the small stuff and it was trendy and fun and colorful. Now my stuff is boring to say the least. mainly black, lots of sweats and big tshirts. I think some of it is due to the lack of awesome clothes for bigger people, and a big part of it is that I am now trying to hide behind my clothes and trying to blend in. So, now you know the secret thoughts of me! LOL

So, I went through all of my clothes. I ended up with 3 bags of giveaway stuff and 1 bag of garbage stuff.

I have one bin and one box of clothes that I hope I can fit into someday. For now they will be put out of sight because honestly they make me cry!

It was kinda fun to go through my jewelry and remember some old memories. I even have some old earings of my moms! This was my moms jewelry box, its pretty beat up but the music box still works and brings back so many memories.

And my dresser is clean!

This was an emotional journey for me, but one I needed to take. I doubt tomorrows will be so emotional! LOL
