Like many women I own too many clothes. And shoes. And bags.

I hold regular purging ceremonies, donating to charity, to friends younger sister’s, and also on occasion to our loft (just in case!) and yet still my collection grows!
And so in a dual effort to clear out my wardrobe and also make some money I decided to sell some stuff on Ebay.
It’s not deciding what to sell that troubles me. I’m pretty mercenary about what stays and what goes.
Item gets ditched if:
- It hasn’t been worn in a year
- It’s not vintage or designer (and therefore of no use to future generations of Shopaholics)
- I can’t think of a really good excuse to keep it (I mean really good)
Easy peasy. It’s writing the description’s that I struggle with!
There’s something just beyond cringingly intimate about describing your clothes
It feels a bit like a dating site-Funniest, prettiest picture; honest but not so honest that noone will want to date you..I mean buy you…I mean..ARGH!
Where else would you have to put the exact measurements of the skirt you wore that night you had way too much tequila and threw your chips at some guy in McDonald’s?! Too short and you look like a slut, too long and you cut off half your target market.
But you battle on, trying to view your clothes through the eyes of a prospective buyer, and before you know it you start mentally visualising said skirt with items in your wardrobe, ooh and those shoes I saw last week…!
Dad won’t notice another box in the loft will he?!
