I've gotten much better with stuff and spending money of stuff. A friend of mine arranges clothes swaps every few months, which has helped me with my stuff addiction (as long as I come home with less than I take).

I've found forgotten things and it is a bit worrying. Clearing things out or giving them away is also really good. Your dress is beautiful, so are the coat and gloves, perfect Egyptian colours.

I do try to wear everything though, at least once before passing it on to someone else. My only issue is that I don't know a lot of people who like the kind of stuff I like around here... makes it a bit harder to give away stuff. Ha well, there's always charity shops :)<br /><br />That brown coat is marvelous!

One more fab coat in your possession, love it. Cool glasses.<br />I do have a few things that I bought and never worn but with time I became more careful in buying stuff, and I choose only what I really really like.

He was brilliant and found such wonderful ways of looking at ironic truths to provoke simultaneous laughter and thought. <br /> <br />Yes, I've been overwhelmed by hoarding and having too much stuff in my life - and I'm working hard on trying to make decisions and let go of things. <br /> <br />I love your turquoise dress with its floral lace inset puffy sleeves and overlay beside the deep V neckline and the cute bow in the back. I've been yearning for a nice frilly turquoise top myself. I's such a pretty colour and pairs up wonderfully with a range of colours - brown, tans, maroons, fuchsias and pinks (my own favourites). <br /> <br /> Re-discovering collected treasures can be a nostalgic experience - perhaps doing the Time Warp and walking like an ancient diving Egyptian? <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.full-brief-panties.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.full-brief-panties.blogspot.com/</a><br /> <br /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Panty Bunshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08898050632807934793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376530029828568772.post-65736595192406907322013-03-20T22:23:12.670+00:002013-03-20T22:23:12.670+00:00That is a gorgeous colour combination.

At the moment there's my Dad's house still packed to the rafters that I've got to deal with eventually.<br />I'm glad you're starting to part with your collections, much better to do it yourself than leave it for the bereaved to, it makes the loss even worse.<br />God, how depressing! On a lighter note that's a gorgeous colour combo and I'm extremely jealous that you've been able to bare your arms today, it's unbearably cold here again!

Well done for coming out the other side and dealing with it. I have very mixed feelings about stuff.<br /><br />Diving in the Red Sea, now you're talking. Whenever I have to have something gruesome done to my person, I transport myself in my mind to the Red Sea in Israel where I imagine myself snorkelling once more. It is a magical place of calm and beauty. The world goes all quiet. I have never been to Egypt, but spent a few years living in the Sudan, which is a wonderful country. Or was, I should say. I had a necklace just like that.<br /><br />Your turquoise dress is beautiful on you and makes me think of the sea you want to go diving in.xxfrecklefacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15881334320685123475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376530029828568772.post-39180858053815974552013-03-20T14:10:19.418+00:002013-03-20T14:10:19.418+00:00I think a lot of women have a problem with over bu...I think a lot of women have a problem with over buying crap they don't need, I'm guilty of it for sure. Two years ago my hubbies Grannie died and she was a hoarder and it took us 6 months to clear out the house. It was so so so very sad. So much stuff that never saw the light of day and kept her from ever having people over. It was just what I needed to scare me straight. Giving feels so much better than getting anyway.<br /><br />I think it's grand that you found a new love! You look really good in this yummy green dress!<br />XxooKristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00350442910321860733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376530029828568772.post-70448888121890936482013-03-20T14:02:03.897+00:002013-03-20T14:02:03.897+00:00Your photos of your Egypt trip got me reading your...Your photos of your Egypt trip got me reading your blog.<br /><br />I stopped going to yard sales a few years ago when I realized I really didn't need to get up at 6am on Saturday to buy stuff. Now I keep my shopping trips to thrift/charity shops and once a year I do a clean out. Last fall I invited my 2 assistants to have first dibs on a huge pile of clothes I was getting rid of.
