Putting The Clothes Back In The Wardrobe

[Guest Roberta-Belinda]

When I put my dresses skirts and top's back in the wardrobe I always get that bitter sweet feeling. It usually takes me ages to put everything back because I tend to change skirts and dresses in mid session. When I get my clothes out of the wardrobe prior to dressing I often take a few items out just in case I feel like changing into something else. I also select at least three pairs of tights from my drawer just in case I ladder a pair. I snagged a lovely pair of M&S tights on Sunday, I was not best pleased. However, I changed into a pair of tan tights by Cindy and they looked fab on me so all was well. It was a bit of a nightmare putting everything back because I fast running out of room in my wardrobe. All things considered though a great night. So lovely to be a Woman again. Although my outfit was casual, inside I felt like the elegant attractive middle Woman I yearn to be.

The one advantage to being full time, is that I don't absolutely have to get it all back in the closet as quick as I can. I also have things that are a bit worse for wear that are still an integral part of daily life. I do miss the old days when I could get it all back in the closet before morning, but not seriously. You are making me a bit nostalgic!!

I don't have much storage space, so when I open the cupboard most of the stuff ends up falling on me, no matter how carefully I pack. I have bought myself a small steam iron, and it takes just a minute to get all the creases out.

Still wish I had decent storage though.

It sounds very familiar

One thing I love to do is to spend an afternoon just trying things on, looking how they fit and feel. That is part of the secret of good dressing (whether I get there? lol).

I don't have problems of having to hide but it is so much easier when I have the house to myself and I can just relax in what I am doing! Even a minor criticism can disrupt a tranquil pursuit.

I love these descriptions. Belinda I agree - how many times have I a heap of clothes I love that I work through on a day's dressing. I'm like a kid in a sweet factory. And Katy - oh yes. I open my cupboards and it is like an avalanche. What really hacks me off is getting a nice dress off e-bay, trying it on and thinking "wow", and then squishing it onto the top of the pile jammed in the cupboard. How I wish I could hang the dress properly so it won't crease. But I have too much stuff. And Tracy - my favourite times are these.

I'm so pleased I'm not alone in these thoughts!

I can totally relate to some of this issue! The only positive I can share is in the fact that my wife knows about my clothes so I don't have to pack them all away. Although she doesn't approve of me wearing them regularly. My closet is 2/3 female clothes and my underwear drawer is 100% female. I still have a few items such as breast forms, wig and makeup that are not in plain sight, but they're not really "hidden" either.

I am also one who tends to change clothes 3-4 times during a dressing session. I guess it's because the times when I get to completely dress are not as often as I would like, so I want to see myself in EVERYTHING. Being able to put them all back on hangers and back into the closet makes it a bit easier. I also get a certain amount of joy at being able to see all my pretty things every time I open my closet. Dresses, tops, and skirts hanging properly, and sweaters folded neatly on the top shelf.

Now, if I can only convince my wife to let me dress more often.... Baby steps
