Taking Inventory of my closet project

intentional_lifeI Have a tendency to over and under estimate the types of clothing, the amounts of clothing and what I need/don't need in my closet.
I think that a part of this stems from me not liking how clothing looks on me, being unhappy with my body and thinking that if I just buy the right clothing then I will be able to buy my way into liking my body.
Note to self: this won't work.
I'm going to do a living document on this post that I update as I go along. I woke up at 6am, had coffee and started working on my closet. J, my partner is out hunting today so I am using this day to hang with my dogs and deep clean my closet, laundry area and shoes/accessories.
Categories I am going to explore
1. Pajamas
2. Home Clothing/ Hang out Clothing
3. Work out Clothing/ Clothing I would wear to Run Errands
4. Work Clothing/professional/Semi Professional Clothing
5. Casual/ Hip/ Fun Going out CLothings for hang outs with Friends, Family, Dates
6. Dresses
7. Undergarmets
8. Shoes
9. Purses
10. Accessories
FOR SOME REASON... doing this really overwhelms me. I think that as i list this out and think about what I have and don't have I see some things that are apparent to me. For example, during the pandemic I accumulated an exorbitant amount of house clothing. I spent 95% of my time in sweats and this was the best thing for me at the time. I was under a lot of stress (as was the whole world), under a lot of digestional distress, and all i wanted was comfort. Now I'm finding myself in situations in which i do not have clothing for all the social situations that I find myself in.
And its interesting how as I delve into this, i find myself having deep emotions. My clothing and how I feel in my clothing is a big deal. Its how i take care of myself. Its how I slow down enough in my life to care for my appearance. Appearance is not everything by ANY means but it's something that I do care about to the degree that I think it matters in my personal internal world. What I mean by this is that - no one gets to tell me what matters- but if i decide it matters, THATS what matters.
