I did this last week, on a day that it was 90 outside but I know cooler weather is coming one of these days…….I hope. Living in Texas is a challenge sometimes.
Hubby used to use his stationary bike as a clothes rack. Now it’s his recliner. I asked him how he managed to sit in that chair. “Padding”, he tells me.
Ankle socks, 1/4 crew socks, light wool socks away. Crew socks, heavier calf length wool socks for Wellingtons, waterproof hiking boots, hiking socks, long sleeve shirts, bumbershoots, parka, scarf, gloves and a few other things moved from one closet to the other. I walk to Muni and sometimes I’ll walk all the way to work, or all the way home. And in the rain, you need that stuff.
Summer, shorts and short sleeves, Winter, long pants, long sleeves, a variety of jackets and coats to fit the weather, boots if I really have to go out in the snow. I gave away my snow thrower, lawn mower and shovels. I watch others use those things from my apartment window.
In our case it is the other way around. I wear tee shirts and jeans all year. When I get cold I throw a sweatshirt on. Husband has to switch his shirts from long to short and vice versa every year. Despite the low number of shirts he/we have it is an exhausting process to switch his shirts. Like so many things I used to do alone for him when he went out to work that annoyed me that I was the one doing them, it is even worse when he helps with the switch.
have too many clothes and don’t like to make decisions. so now wear the same things until they wear out then throw them away. still launder them when needed. throw out of season clothes in a box until next go around. closet and chest of drawers still full of better clothes for those occasions. will probably outlive clothes.

He’s not alone, I’ll bet.

Yesterday, I posted a question about GoComics loading slowly, and I received many responses. Thanks – I really appreciate your suggestions.

I have a few more clothes than a hall tree but not much. Typical guy in that respect, I guess.

Hubby has more winter clothes than I do but his job has him outside frequently, so lots of Walls overall type stuff, hard hat liners, warm socks, etc.

Good boots and a warm coat are enough.

My wife has commented on the “if you haven’t worn it in six months, toss it”: they must live in San Diego.

The return of the long flannel gown. Too bad.

As Stand Up Comedian Michael O’Rourke once said “my winter wardrobe, is my summer wardrobe and a Jacket.” followed by middle-finger salute.

A real clothes horse. Actually I expected him to say “I’m wearing them”.

For some reason this struck me as hilarious, like literally laughed out loud.

My only change is from shorts to long pants.
