衣替え (koromogae) is the seasonal change of clothing, switching out the warderobe from one season to the other. The beginning of October is the perfect time for koromogae.
Darjeeling as (un)helpful as always.
I was able to do some decluttering as well, but not as much as I would like. I still get stuck on the «I might need this» or «I might want to wear this again one day».
This time I left the pieces that I didn’t wear last year in with the summer clothes in the storage box, so if I don’t reach for them this season I can hopefully declutter them next spring.
Now my warderobe looks like this;
I realized I mainly use greys, blacks, whites, mustards, and a tiny splash of pink. At least it’s not all black. It feels calmer.
I hope to be able to do a 100% perfect konmari one day. Maybe next year.
Tomorrow the weather will be lovely so I plan to get all the laundry done and even hang out the futons.
What do you do on sunny days off?
