new perspective

I don't know what has come over me lately, but I've just been filled with an overwhelming feeling of modesty and a bit of disgust. Boyfriend's life growing up hasn't been easy at all and after hearing all of his stories... I thought that I went through a few tough times, but after hearing his stories, it starts to put it all into a new perspective. I love clothes and fashion and designers and thinking outside of the box.. the list goes on and on. But now I feel guilty for having so much excess. I've gone through my closet a few times to clear out the things that I don't often wear and filled up a lot of bags to give to Goodwill and now I'm starting a new trek. After wearing an item of clothing (excluding pants/coats/undergarments) I of course wash it, but then I fold it up and put it in a bag. My goal is to wear everything in my closet at least once so I can get a better view on what items I really do need to get rid of. I know that I have a lot of clothes that I want to keep because they look so beautiful or because maybe one day that event will come when I'll need it.. We all know how that goes. Any who I guess the point is for right now that I'm a bit depressed from shopping. This of course coming a few hours after I already spent some money at Rue21 :(
