I imagine that you are wondering how any of this is relevant to wardrobe culling? Well, the manhole to the roof space is directly over our wardrobe. The entire wardrobe had to be emptied so that we could move it across the floor to access the manhole. It was much too heavy to move otherwise, and that's saying something.
While we were at it, we re-modeled the whole room, so I emptied all my other cupboards thinking I would organise everything once and for all. I assembled everything in the lounge room in no particular order on my clothing racks and I took a picture.
This is NOT what I saw though the lens:

Disappointing huh? And this doesn't even include the stuff I bought recently, thanks to Country Road's oxymoronic spend and save event!
It's been just over two years since I first began culling my wardrobe and creating what I like to refer to as my 'ideal wardrobe'. My mission was to create the perfect capsule wardrobe, for work and for play, with most items interchangeable between the two occasions. I had initially hoped that this would occur within 6 months... but I can safely say that 2 years on, I'm not
I have read many other bloggers' blog entries who have culled their wardrobes, all about their culling successes. I longingly look at their racks scarcely filled with a few select 'pieces' and their couple pairs of ankle booties lined up underneath... what seems to be the perfect capsule wardrobe. I feel envious reading about excess spare coat hangers and empty space in their wardrobes. I suppose at least this envy for minimalism is not as revolting as being jealous of other people's physical possessions, right?
I guess it's back to the drawing board for me...
