SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Well, maybe not technically, but it's a beautiful day out west, and the perfect time to go through your winter clothing and purge what you never bothered to wear in the past few months of cold weather.

You don't need to over-think this. Go to your closet and drawers and pull out any sweater you never wore, silk long johns that were a great idea at the time (but too much trouble to actually put on underneath your work blouses), long sleeved t's that you like having but don't like wearing, those droopy knee-high boots that hurt your toes, the parka fit for the Iditarod with the price tag still dangling from its sleeve, and the hand-crocheted scarf your best friend gave you for Christmas that looks like a pink poodle gone mad.

Really, it's perfectly FINE to get rid of those things. Hypothermia won't suddenly overtake you if you donate it all. Stuff them into a clean trash bag and call a charity thrift store to pick them up.

Make way for spring!
