MommyMaki tagged me with this, so . . .

Three Random Facts About My Closet:

• I have a VERY SMALL closet space. In fact, my husband and I each have less space than either one of our kids. (Instead, my drawers are stuffed full, as is a blue storage bin in the laundry room!!
• It used to be a wire “rack” straight across my half and my husband’s (it has two tiny doors on each side, not even a full sliding door!). After his side collapsed under the weight of stacked clothes, he now has two levels and I still have one level (but a more practical height than before). We share the middle shelving—very little of that is clothes.
• My shoes refuse to stay organized. They must have a mind of their own.
  

Three Items I've Never Worn But Still Haven't Tossed:

• A garage sale skirt that I thought would be similar to a favorite of mine. It wasn’t. (However, this has inspired me to put it in the donate pile today!)
• A gorgeous white dressy-dress, long, simple, sleeveless. It fit SO perfectly (back before this last pregnancy, and while I wasn’t breastfeeding. . .) and was SO on sale at JCPenney (while shopping for a office Christmas party dress) that I HAD to get it. But, I’ve lacked the proper occasion ever since. I probably lack the body now, too.
• A cream colored velvet-embossed sport-bra type thing-a-ma-bob I had NO idea what to do with. But, hey, it was less than $5 at Victoria’s Secret, and—irresistable. At least, I think it’s still around?
• Bonus: brown suede skirt. Another JCPenney deal—they have rockin’ clearances! (But, WHAT do I wear it with and to where???)
  

Three Items I'll Never Get Rid Of, No Matter How Ugly They Get:

• A plaid flannel hooded pull-over with a drawstring at the waist. I’ve had it for more than 15 years and still wear it at least once or twice every fall. I will probably mourn it when it decays one day.
• Oversized navy college t-shirt from the Activities Board I was on. Great sleep shirt, even if the writing is almost faded. Sentiment and all that.
• Long sleeve Camp Sunshine t-shirt from the days when my friend’s son was diagnosed with Leukemia. (He’s been fine for several years now.)
  

Three Items People Wouldn't Expect To Find In My Closet:

• My baby quilt made by my grandma with my name and birthdate hand-embroidered.
• Footie pajamas. My size from the women’s department at Target.
• The modern Clue game that’s electronic. I LOVE Clue!
  

Three items that made me go, "Oh Lord, what was I thinking?":

• I’ve been spending way too long (all day yesterday?) attempting to figure this one out. So, I will just say that if it’s in my closet, I’m still too stupid to know it, and if it’s gone, it’s forgotten. =p
  

Three things that I have a surprising number of:

• Panty hose—and I loathe them, refusing to wear them except in dire circumstances.
• Old, wrong-size bras. I spend way too much time pondering whether or not I will fit them someday again (after breastfeeding), if I should donate them, or if they just need to be chunked. Some are pretty good.
• Shirts: Stretched out from breastfeeding, faded into nightshirt quality, wearable, recently wearable, too small but good condition, nursing tops, or I don’t know what to wear them with. Sheesh.
  

Three dominant colors in my wardrobe:

• Blue
• Black
• Randomness (not always good for matching purposes!)
  

Three items that never fail to put me in a good mood whenever I wear them:

• My new Gap cords (either pair). (The jeans have been a serious let-down.)
• An Aussie T-shirt that has some blue water-color like flowers on the back with the words, “People who live in glass houses should grow flowers.”
• Super soft pink striped pajama pants from Victoria’s Secret
  

Three people I will tag:

• Bekah at another notebook (who is moving and probably has no time for this)
• Kim at More of You, less of me (to give her something postable ;p)
• Heidi at Mommy Brain (if perchance she wants to be kept busy while waiting)
