I am sure everyone gets a kick as soon they hear about clothes (well - thats not limited to that only)
Ok so my point was - I do get all excited about the topic as soon as I hear it but only till the point its about buying :)
I hate anything to do with clothes other than buying. I hate washing, hanging theM to dry, wrapping up, ironing, sorting them and arranging them in cupboards. I just cannot do that.
This is one thing which irritates me the most. And this is one thing that I am most embarrased about when i have guests over. Thank God for that attic area where i can dump everything. Its like a laundry house...clothes everywhere. And When I have friends over esp those who are first time visitors and all enthu about wanting to have a walk through of the house, I make sure I do not make any hint to another floor. I just escort them back to groud floor after they have had the first floor round and praised my house maintenance skills. (All for their own beneifit - I do not want them to get a shock and also I do not want to refrain myself from little boost in between all the guilt I live with everyday)
Ok Am spilling all the beans today.....
My cupboards are dumping box. You cannot find anything there - Just cannot!
My attic is like maze. You really need a navigation system to walk there and search something (I so wish every piece of cloth had a chip in it so I could trace it with GPRS - so much for the technology we are used to)
I never can find my socks after they go for washing. I keep buying new ones (Oops....now thats serious - Imagine teh day i will find out all - i will need a cupboard just for socks ;) ok slight exaggeration but nearly true)
There are times when my cupboard has only clothes which i do not wear and all the ones whic i wear are piled up for ironing.
Many a times i suddenly find something in that pile which i had totally forgotten about. i get pleasantly suprised to find it ( Imagine how long it lies there that I totally forgotthat I have somethign like that)
So many times including one today I remember certain tops only when I look at old pictures. And the search begins!
I wish someone would come up with use-and-throw clothes. Wear them once or perhaps twice and throw away. (Oh even the thought is sooo sooo relieving)
I know I know most of you will be saying - How can anyone be that unorganized!!
Believe me i won't say NO to any help offered to change it.
Ok there is one aspect of clothes other than buying that I like. I like stitching. :)
Two is enough - Right?
PS: There is a silk stole I am searching in my house for 2 years now .... all efforts in vain. I know I have it. I have never used it. I know i have not given it to anyone. If anyone has a clue - please help!!
Oh wow! U stitch? Aweeesome :)
ReplyDeleteI luvvv de-cluterring as much as I luv my shopping :) But I can't stitch :(
I have the same question as Swaram :) You stitch! Wow!
ReplyDeleteAs for me, I love buying, and I love ironing :) Washing gets done because I have no option :) My attic at the moment looks the same. All my unironed clothes are there and I dread the day someone wants a tour :)
i love shopping for clothes and then i love wearing them..
ReplyDeletei am very particular about my clothes. And since i love them so much i tend to take care of them as well. in my case i have outsourced most of the taking care part.
And god bless those attics for saving the day when guests arrive unexpectedly!!
And u stitch? i am impressed. First and last stitching i did was in school in SUPW classes!!
My attic is a maze, too. Hope you find the silk stole soon -- it might just be hiding somewhere. :)
ReplyDeleteWas away -- will read up older posts when I get some time.
I was nodding my head in agreement with all that you said untim I reached the bit on stitching! You stitch?? Wow!
ReplyDeleteI love to buy clothes but washing, putting them out for drying, folding...I HATE THEM ALL!! Oh yes, thank god for the attic-cum-dumping area :0
oh nodding my head on everything apart from the fact that I can stich
ReplyDelete@Girls - You all made my day by telling me I am not the only one. Believe me it was a HUGE relief. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd now about stitching - okkk...here is the clarity
I can stich - Yes
I can stich everything - No
I like stiching - Yes
I do it all the time - No
And because stitching is something i just like and it is not a need - I do it when i feel like. I make skirts for my little girl and other tiny things like this.
So until it becomes a need I like it. Dont know after that *wink*wink*
@thewhiterain : You have outsourced all the care taking part???? NOw thats the fun part of it :) :) I wont mind it too if I find a source.
ReplyDeleteYou spilled beans alright and it was fun to read. :)
