Mostly just a babble of things that have been haunting my head that I have put in the form of an LJ post.

I have been buying some clothes lately (retail therapy can help) and I noticed something. I have two color palettes I am working with. The Black and White more tailored look and the Brown/Green/Khaki comfortable versions. Almost every shirt I buy is sleeveless because of my issues with heat. It is easier to layer when you have something to work down to. I still have a stonewash denim look but I figure that fits into the Brown/Green category.

Now I have the issue of having no place for my clothes. I have more clothes than I have spaces for them. And I am gaining weight again. What I need to do is go through the closet and pull out the smaller of my clothes but that would require trying things on. And I just don’t have the energy for the effort and organization. Currently a good chunk of clothing is living on the floor of my bedroom, overflowing the chair in my living room and at one end of the couch. Shoes decided about 2-3 weeks ago they didn’t want to be put away and they are all at the base of the clothes chair.

The funny thing about all of this is I know where most everything is and about how many layers down. I haven’t even worn all my new clothes yet. I have a bunch because it was all very cheap.

From time to time, I notice that I match one store more than another. It has been a long time since I got most of my clothes from a Macy’s type department store. A couple of years ago, I couldn’t find a think I liked in Macy’s and that ilk but found wonderful things in Ross. Before that it was Target and Walmart. Last winter, my store was H&M. Currently it looks like my store is JcPenny’s. It doesn’t have anything to do with the quality of the clothes, it has to do with what the clothes look like and how they fit what I want. I doubt anyone could tell from my closet what came from where and when it hit the closet (unless you are one of those types that follow fashion very closely, but I don’t think I know anyone like that).
