I have a lot of t-shirts. Not as many as pictured above. (this was from google images and I think they're a boy's collection). But I FEEL like i have this many, especially if I'm counting Adams too. That's a lot of t-shirts in my life. I feel like that's all i do--fold and put away, stack and re-stack. It's tedious.
And I'm always a little gun-shy on giving away any kind of clothes. I think "what if i MIGHT wear this, or maybe i'll wear it in the summer, or under a cardigan" and so on. But generally I come down to the rule
if i havent worn it in a year, i'm probably not ever going to paired with the rule to
always give away something when i get something (thanks Bob Wright).
This works decently well with normal clothes. But t-shirts seem to have this extra staying power. They have a sentimental element that I normally dont deal with. "but i got that shirt when i won ____", "that was a christmas present", "my brother goes to school there", etc. How do you give that away? I mean really, they just collect. I have even, sadly to admit, put some in memory boxes---aka they're just folded and stacked somewhere else.
So that's my rant--t-shirts are my Achilles heel when it comes to managing my clothes inventory. I'm continuously at a loss with what to do with them. (and i dont want to make them into a quilt).
ugh. the end.
