I love it and have not only been able to get things to fit in my drawers and see them, I also was able to get rid of a lot too. I moved on to my closet and came out with 3 66-Qt containers of clothes. I need to do a second purge because I know there are more things that need to go. I've been working from home forever and it finally clicked that I'll never need any of those office clothes I've been holding on to. Even when I do go in the office I wear something business casual. <br /><br />Drew's article was great. I know they are noticed/photographed more so they may feel like they cannot wear the same thing twice. It is nice to see celebs have the same closet struggles we do.audreybellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07304551225654245357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-41433973632869844162015-03-16T14:21:50.465-03:002015-03-16T14:21:50.465-03:00Wendy a great post and thanks to you I got that bo...Wendy a great post and thanks to you I got that book.It really does work especially the folding things and now I have time I am going to do the big purge.

Drew has...Thank you for another great post, Wendy!<br /><br />Drew has such a universal lovable quality. She is the definition of adorable, and isn't afraid to show that she is not perfect. <br /><br />I have been doing a lot of closet decluttering too, and am finding that it is an ongoing process (over a year now!). I've done my first cut purges -- clothes that I will definitely not wear again -- over the first year, and into this year, am getting rid of things that yes, I would wear it, but if I got to choose, I'd choose something else. I just picked up Marie Kondo's "The Life Changing Magic of Cleaning Up". I just started it, but opening to any random page finds some gem. For example: "selection criteria: does it spark joy?" That is a very good one, IMO, especially for the first cut. I am finding the second cuts much harder because I have lots of clothes that I do love, but would be better off without... Wish me luck!AudreyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783881806028461090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-52656460183806606722015-03-16T08:27:02.544-03:002015-03-16T08:27:02.544-03:00Drew is so cute, I've always liked her.

It's hard to know what I want the remaining contents to look like when I'm done- I'm not sure my style is that defined. Maybe that's my problem?catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121234545386465542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-90119551964840149912015-03-16T06:42:37.917-03:002015-03-16T06:42:37.917-03:00Oh I know!

He's a very stylish man I have to say!
