Today is Day 7 of The {21} Purge and Rhonna's message is to Stay Strong! To: "Remember the importance of your goals. Sometimes at about the 1 week mark, when we enter the 2nd week...we tend to get tired or feel burned out....Just think of how many days you've come so far. You do NOT want to start all over again, right? This is why your ONE goal is so great...let me take you back to day one. You were excited. Fired up. Don't let that fire burn out. You have NOT come 1 week into this to quit, right? If you're not going to conquer NOW when will you? It.is.time....time to focus on yourself & becoming your best you."
Stay the course! (love that line from the Patriot ;) Finish what you started! (my kids hated me when I told them this ;) What's the matter with you...got your panties in a wad? (sorry just had to throw that in there since it's kinda relative to today's purge ;)
SO...in an attempt to finish what I started when I pulled out EVERYTHING from under my bed...I pushed all the crates over to one side in my bedroom. Remember yesterday I stated that I would probably start with purging all those sweaters and turtlenecks in those crates? WELL...curiosity got the best of me and I OPENED PANDORA'S BOX! Remember...Space Bag No. 1...the one with NO LABEL?
For those of you who are easily offended...OMG...LOOK AWAY...it's hideous!
It's LINGERIE...oh yeah...LOADS OF IT...there's stuff here that I haven't worn in years and actually forgot about it. BUT DH...was very delighted and loved PANDORA'S BOX ;)
All afternoon while I was sorting and PURGING I keep hearing the 12 Days of Christmas...cause...
"On the First Day of Christmas my true love gave to me...ONE Pandora's Box...
TWO Negligees....THREE Cover-Ups...FOUR Body-suits...FIVE Chemises...
SIX Teddies w'Tap Pants...SEVEN Bras n'Panty sets...EIGHT Camisoles...
NINE Boostiers...TEN Bras...a hangin...PLUS 23 MORE"...
Then I remembered...that there were more...in my dresser drawers...
This drawer holds 26 more...that are to wear EVERYDAY...
While this drawer holds 18 for those SPECIALS DAYS...
HOW SAD...that some still have their TAGS...
But I wasn't going to let this distract me and I kept on PURGING...and tried on ALL 84 BRAS...kept telling myself...FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED! So I did and some didn't make the cut...
The 30 that did are all placed back in my drawer ;)
As far as the rest of the lingerie...it's all gone as well. Goodwill takes slips and night gowns and some women's shelters take the bras. The few panties that I had with the matching bras I kept and they are in the drawer ;) But I have to tell you all...I was really tempted to contact Sherry of Glamarella Junk because she alters vintage slips and they actually wear them out like a BAND OF GYPSIES...
To each his own but you won't ever catch this chic outside of the Love Shack in her skivvies ;) Bad enough I opened Pandora's Box today...lol
How about you all...revealed anything lately?
Roberta!!!! How can one person have so many bras??? You gave a new meaning to the word "Holy crap"...LOL

I have loved reading your "purging" posts. You have more bras than I could ever find to even fit me properly! Thanks, as always, for honest sharing. Joan

Hahaha! I just read Donnie's comment and nearly feel out my chair! She called them droopies! LOL! Thankfully, I am small enough that I'm not droopy...yet. And dito, you wouldn't catch me dead outside in my underwear, now matter how pretty they are.

My favorite bra is ...less but the ladies in this park frown on the droopies. Looks like you are really moving along on your challenge. good job.
