Hi everyone!

So I just joined and was in the chat rooms. And I basically have my entire life in my room. Books, stuffed animals, pictures on walls. My room is a kids room. In an effort to make my room look more mature since I am about to graduate college I am trying to get rid of items.
My mom has a hoarding issue and she tries to pawn of her possessions to me or guilt me out of giving away stuff. I also like purchasing new items and so when I try to get rid of items I am often told I am ungrateful, or vain for not wanting my old stuff because it is still useable.
The point of this post is so I can track my progress of decluttering my room and working towards decluttering my entire house since my mom refuses to do it herself. I came up with an idea of a clothing challenge for myself to work on getting rid of old clothes.
The challenge does not have an end date. It ends when I finally wear everything in my closet that I like. And put the articles of clothing I do not like into a container.
I am only allowed to do laundry for socks, tights, undergarments and bottoms.
I plan on creating an instagram account to track my outfits. If anyone would like to follow and help me with a what to wear and what not to wear challenge that would be awesome as I am not a huge fashion follower.

Lily, your clothing challenge sounds like a great plan. I can't do things like instagram but I would love to hear of your progress in posts here.

Good luck and welcome!

Hi, lily. I'm sorry to have to sign off last night before I got to hear more about you, but I'm glad to get the chance to read some of your story this morning. I am "fashion challenged," so I can't help in that arena. Having had a parent who was a hoarder, I understand about being taught (and even pressured, directly or indirectly) to keep a lot of "stuff." I applaud you for making plans and taking actions to move yourself toward a more "decluttered" life! Yea, lily!!
