We are having a yard sale next weekend and I am going to use a lot of your principles. I just feel like we are so overloaded in some areas. We can either sell some next weekend or give to another that may be in need.

You can always throw a pair of cotton knit shorts under the dress too.

It's just pure brilliance. It won't work in my space, BUT I am lovin' the swim trunks idea and really paring down the shorts/shirts that we own (again!)<br />My sister brought up an interesting point...that most people buy more clothes to be noticed ie if we wear the same things over and again we feel like others may not "see" us anymore. We keep things "fresh" to be seen and commented on.

We even have to make room for (hand-me-down) pretty dresses that they never wear anywhere else but the house. The good thing is, the girls put away their own (the 5-yr-old gets help from big sisters.)<br />The little boy, on the other hand, is pretty simple: a few shirts, pants, leg warmers, cloth diapers, etc, so he gets to share a small closet with us:)flohttp://trailnuts.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33872673.post-73259219777025418972010-04-02T20:07:23.004-04:002010-04-02T20:07:23.004-04:00I just started putting Winter clothes away today a...I just started putting Winter clothes away today and decided that I am NOT going to put every piece of clothing out that I have just because I have it. It is so much easier laundry wise when they only have a handful of shirts and shorts available to them. Otherwise the laundry piles up because I don't HAVE to do it. I'm all for simplifying things this summer! :)Becky @ BoysRuleMyLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11078001998434425784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33872673.post-59299505664668669932010-04-02T19:53:25.099-04:002010-04-02T19:53:25.099-04:00You're right, it can be more complicated with ...You're right, it can be more complicated with girls. I am ever vigilant of clothes getting too small or worn, and selling or giving them away. But the urge to buy pretty things is strong in me & Sophie, so her closet fills up again.<br /><br />Are you set on a dresser? How about shelving, with the smaller items in baskets?Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02968249406614695288noreply@blogger.com
