I have been decluttering all week and it feels wonderful to have everything organized for the New Year!

And, it just creates a stress-inducing environment. I like your tips...especially the three categories of clothes. ;)Anihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004627332516064834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-86587262056114433122011-01-05T13:57:42.286+13:002011-01-05T13:57:42.286+13:00I am not certain if I have commented yet, if I hav...I am not certain if I have commented yet, if I haven't I have wanted to. Your vacation sounds very nice, and I agree with your other comments about the bikini! How great for you that you wore one.<br /><br />I am curious what the average temperature is there? I know it is warm now.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466088521434479955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-82180522541453314632011-01-05T11:53:24.984+13:002011-01-05T11:53:24.984+13:00hi dear fiona,

It made me think... that's me too.<br /><br />H, I clearly haven't gotten the hang of 'something in, something out' have I? I wait until my stress levels are sky-high and THEN do something about it. Enjoy your staycation.<br /><br />L, funnily enough, I think that bikinis can be more flattering (and definitely youthful) than a one-piece pair of togs. Just don't go for anything pale or skin tone. Some women looked naked (or just plain washed out skin-tone wise) at the beach. Bright or dark is the way to go.<br /><br />Juhli, I will have a think about writing on the Slim Pantry. I love Anne Barone's name for it.Fiona Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493105915055099408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-73757911432822424952011-01-05T04:12:20.121+13:002011-01-05T04:12:20.121+13:00Oh, to have it be summer at Christmas time - the v...Oh, to have it be summer at Christmas time - the view looks lovely!

I am trying really hard to live by the "something comes in, something goes out" rule with any and all purchases, gifts, etc. <br /><br />How nice that you had such a lovely, long vacation. It looks stunning where you stayed. Although we are doing a "staycation" right now, I am hoping we will be swinging a tropical paradise excursion later in the year.<br /><br />Happy to have you back!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-8389607263352592292011-01-05T01:25:02.990+13:002011-01-05T01:25:02.990+13:00I'm a fellow procrastinator and perfectionist ...I'm a fellow procrastinator and perfectionist and can identify with your result to refine your possession and use up what you have before going out to any store! <br /><br />Thanks for the reinforcement...it's encouraging to know I'm not alone.Rebeccahttp://thriftystyleatsixty.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
