Look, not everything here is MS related. I mean it is, because I have MS, but it’s not, because while it touches everything, everything isn’t about MS.
I have a billion tee shirts.
I am weirdly emotionally attached to some. Like I have one that was done as a fundraiser for my dead bffs kids. So while I intellectually understand he never had anything to do with the shirt, it still has his name and some other stuff on it and I don’t wear it but I can’t part with it.
I have a shirt I got from colonial Williamsburg I don’t wear often but love. Disney shirts. Gift shirts. Band shirts. Broadway shirts. Political shirts. It goes on and on.
Lots of stuff like that, that I get a warm feeling taking them out and looking at them and then I put them back.
Don’t talk to me about making a quilt. I’m not interested. I would like an actionable idea tho, that isn’t put them in a bin in the garage and throw them out in ten years because you haven’t seen or worn them. (I do that with a lot of things… but not these)
I do try to get rid of a shirt when I get a new one. I used to try for two, but I can’t anymore.
I am a shirt toddler. All my shirts are graphic or text shirts. I don’t screw around with plain shirts. So it’s not a question of “ditch all the blue shirts!” or whatever LOL
My leggings and pants are pretty scaled down. When I wear the same leggings day after day I keep 4 pairs of that brand and some jeans and I’m done. But shirts… I love shirts. I am out of room. My drawers are full. My floordrobe is full. Part of it is that we’re two adults squished into a small bedroom so there isn’t room anyway and I don’t have a grown up closet to use, but part of it is I just have too many shirts. I own that. So… what do you do with your shirts???
