The last time I had blogged I wrote to you about how many outfits i took to monterey. What i realized on this last trip is that I really have a serious problem with packing.
Generally what happens is that I'm unsure of what I want to wear so I end up bringing everything. It always seems to be such a great idea until I actually start having to bring my luggage places. I have way too much stuff that I have to carry around with me everywhere I go. I always think it'd be such a great idea to have so many options with me. But then when I have the opportunity to wear something I'm still unsure of what I should wear. I mistakenly believe that it will be easier for me to decide on something to wear if I have all of my clothes with me. What ends up happening is that I still don't know exactly which outfit would be the best 1 to wear on any given occasion.
This torment of mine was exemplified the last time that I went on a trip to monterey because I ended up having about 100 different outfits with me at least. Oh and by the way this was a 3 day trip to monterey that I had easily more than 100 different outfits. Why would I need more than 100 different outfits for a 3 day trip? I ended up thinking about it and realizing how ridiculous it was. I decided to try on and take a picture of a many of the outfit as I could. I quit when I got about 30 or 40 different outfits.
It really brought home to me a point that I need to decide what I'm going to wear before I pack for the trip.
I'll try to post some of the pictures of the ridiculous outfits I brought along with me at some point.
I hope you're all well thanks.
I think that many of us share this issue. You should check a few recent posts over at http://youcancallmemeg@blogspot.com.
ReplyDeleteOn the rare occasions when I do go out I tend to over do the packing and taking. I bring stuff just on the slim chance that a dressing opportunity will arise.
One of these days I need to cull my closet. I know that my wife is correct that I have too many clothes and shoes and I really should have a firm rule about not getting new stuff without retiring some old stuff but It is a rule I could not live up to.
