This is slowly sinking in. I got rid of some stuff with labels in last week. I took some McQueen and Helmut Lang to the charity shop and waffled on about them to the assistant, who must hear this so much, people discharging their reasons for attachment. And then I remembered I never wore them and poof, let them go!!!
Aiming for ten items a week, but including books and large stashes of old work and paper, until I can put spaces between the coathangers like a Bond Street shop. It's jolly hard. But then I have to remember I am not Charles Dickens and no one will be wanting my old notepads for an archive, nor am I Daphne Guinness and my ratty old Vivienne Westwood skirt is good for dusters, not the V&A. Thank you for urging us on every week. x
Dont lose your favourites! If you love them, keep them and use them. If you arent using them then work out why - do they need mending? A shorter strap? A bit of alteration. Breathing a tiny bit of new life into a favourite could get it working for you again

Spaces between coat hangers - imagine! what luxury. The labels are the hardest things to let go...
How do we lose our favourites? And yet the cheap emergency handbag i bought at a thrift shop 5 years ago is still in my home?
