Hello everyone,
Stumbled across a television programme the other night – Hoarders, Buried Alive. Well, although I totally identified with the hoarder syndrome, I am not quite that bad. I can still open my front door and move about my house without too much clutter making it a hazardous environment. However, I do confess, I am a bit of a hoarder. On the positive side, wow, I can rustle up an outfit that was very `in vogue` many moons ago, all they need is a little adjustment here and there, the odd ribbon here, a flower or two there, and hey presto, a very retro and vintage look.
Of course, all my outfits are age appropriate, luckily, I am still the same statistically as I was in my first flush of youth, and consider myself fortunate that I can still get into my little black dress. They say that you should always have at least one little black dress, well, I have several and such classic clothes simply do not date, they never go out of fashion. Unlike some of the more outlandish outfits.
So hoarding has its plus side, and its not just clothes – handbags, jewellery, shoes, you name it, I have probably got it tucked away somewhere. I even surprise myself when I stumble on something that has been carefully boxed and packed away. With the retro and vintage look being very chic at the moment, it is exciting to put together a new wardrobe from vintage stock.
On the downside, there`s always a downside, – can I find anything?—— keys, glasses, purses, papers etc, etc, always looking.
Hoarding normally means that you hoard everything, and I pretty much do. I ought to be more selective then I may stand a chance of finding things when needed. So, I conclude, hoarding has its very own purpose, just organise your hoarding and you may still be able to put your hands on something you thought you had lost ages ago.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon, take care, luv ANNA X X
