Danielle says:
“It was exhausting to even go through everything. I hate to admit that there are a lot of items I don’t wear regularly. Some don’t fit right. A handful I haven’t worn in years, and at least a couple still have the tag on them. I’m not proud of this, but I am such a hoarder that it’s tough for me to toss anything- even if the garments aren’t in the best of shapes. I’m even lazy about mending them! The clothes just sit there waiting to be fixed, or eventually given up on and trashed.
I really do care about the Earth. I don’t like being overly concerned with material possessions. I don’t like looking into a full closet and not being able to come up with one thing to wear. But, it seems like I’m a closet shopaholic. Thanks for opening my eyes.”
