Oh The Dilemma!

I'm not the best housekeeper in the world. I guess that goes back to being spoiled rotten by my maternal grandmother who lived with us and felt she needed to earn her keep. The house was always spic and span. Funny thing is, I never saw her do any housework, it was always done!

So this morning I'm finally getting around to hanging up some clothes in my closet. Probably about 10 tops in various colors and styles. Since my divorce I have become a bit of a clothes nut especially now that I need to wear nicer clothes at my one job. Once I find a style that I like and I feel it looks good on me, I have a tendency to buy that style in many different color. I happen to look better in pastels so wear many different shades of yellow, green, blue, pink, etc. During the winter months I'm more likely to wear darker colors.

So I like to put the hangers in my tops laid out on the bed, then hang them in my closet. Today I'm looking at the clothes laying there and I begin wonder, should I have all the same styles together or the same colors together? In the past I have gone by style, all polo shirts together, all v-necks together, mock turtleneck sleeveless together, etc. Oh but wait, that seems to only cover the light weight clothing! My winter type tops are separated by color! Then I notice all my sweatshirts hung by color and long-sleeve tees by color, light first then the darker colors.

OMG, I'm so anal! Why has this become such a dilemma in my life? So here I sit writing about the dumbest thing I could possibly think of, and yet I'm also fighting the need to head into the bedroom and move all my clothes around! Oh well, this is the first weekend I have all to myself since last fall, so I guess if I want to re-organize my closets, no one can stop me!
