Bossypants and the Buffalo Exchange: Decluttering Clothing
I am lucky to have occasional visits from my beloved daughter, whose eye is impeccable. She always helps me go through my closet. There she sat, reading Bossypants
(which should have been HER name), looking up to pronounce DONATE, KEEP, or BUFFALO EXHANGE. The book was perfect, because it was OK to interrupt (whereas interruptions NOT ALLOWED during tea, chocolate, or more intense books). The Buffalo Exhange idea was also inspired: we will take the maybes and near-duplicates to the Buffalo Exchange, and keep what they don't want. We will get Miss Em/Bossy credit for next year and go home with a lighter load. Our new mantra: LET THE BUF DECIDE.

I think the factor that makes women resist decluttering is our "but, it's perfectly good" thinking. And it is perfectly good, just too much perfectly good.
@Duchesse--So true. A function perhaps of how inexpensive clothing has become.
