Let it go!!! Pt. 1

*Update: Since writing this post below I have actually moved into a bigger apartment, and I am still having the same issue lol. However, I am working to declutter.

Now this post is a little bit different than what I usually post however it is something that needs to be done in order for me to continue this health/wellness/lifestyle journey.

I want to first start off by saying I am not a hoarder and I have no problem getting rid of things.  However, over the years your girl her has appeared to have reached capacity in every storage contraption I have in my apartment. I have ran out of places to store shoes so they are lined on 2 of the walls in my room in addition to the upper shelves in my closet and hall closet.  Clothes can no longer fit in my walk in closet so I have 2 piles of new clothes sitting in the closet and outside of the closet.  My hall closet... I don’t even want to go there.  Yes, I have space to hang up a few more items but over head storage is full and the bottom is full of suitcases, shoes, and other storage items.  Which leads me to my dresser.  I literally can’t fit anything else in it.  It’s bad.

Now I would love to say that clothes are the only problem I am having but its not.  My kitchen is an issue I’m out of space for things in my kitchen, my bathroom is at capacity with products.  I have a massive hammock that I am still waiting for anyone to help me put up taking up space in my living room.  I just need space!

I am beyond sitting pretty right now I am sitting cluttered, and its got to go.  I have to rid myself of the access baggage in order to continue on this journey.  Plus I wear the same 10 outfits all the time lol why do I have so many options?

I will post updates periodically so that you can see my progress.

Over the next couple month I plan on completing this transformation.  Starting with my closet.  I recently purchased 200+ velvet thin hangers from amazon and I plan on swapping out all of the hangers in my closet.  Now I am not throwing away my current hangers I am going to donate.  My plan is while I am swapping out the hangers I will alleviate the clothes that I no longer want.  Now these clothes are going to go into several different piles.  I will have a consignment pile where I will post certain items on my posh mark page, I will donate some items to goodwill/Salvation Army.  I will have a portion that I will send to local women’s shelters winter is coming in Chicago and I have boots, coats and sweaters in good conditions that they can really use.  And finally my last pile will go to other consignment platforms.  

I am a very simple girl, yet my closet paints a very different picture.  I am ready to purge the clutter out of my life and only keep the necessities.  Yes, I love and will continue to shop however,  I will never let my closets get like this ever again.  I am practicing now for when I get married and the possibility of possibly sharing a closet hahahaha.  Because how its looking if I keep up this habit my poor husband wont have space to put anything that belongs to him. 

I will post links below to my Poshmark page.  Also if you know of any women’s shelters in the Chicago area please email me or leave a comment below so that I can get in contact with them.  

Which reminds me I need to borrow someone’s trunk to drop things off mine is completely full of things that can’t fit in my apartment!!! No, but seriously provide shelters and I will work out the logistics to get the items there.

*Be on the lookout for a vlog post pertaining to this lol
