Finding minimalism in a world of consumerism.

I have a great system, I think, and it's similar to Oprah's. Every time I or my wife does laundry, the worn clothes always are put in on the right side of all my clothes. After just a couple months all the clothes I no longer wear are filtered all the way to the left side of the closet.

Last weekend I tried on all my summer clothes as I took them out of the "summer" box, and was amazed/disgusted at how many really didn't fit or weren't flattering. Out, out! I also have thin plastic discs on my closet rod that let me know what month I last wore something in. Since 1/1/10 I've been always replacing clothes on the left, and adding a new disc at the beginning of each month. It's not so hard to get rid of a shirt if I realize I haven't worn it this year at all and still don't feel like wearing it. Hope my volume of comments is okay... I'm reading all the way through from the beginning. I find it easier to re-evaluate clothing when it’s coming out of storage.
