What Your Closet Says About You
One woman's dating history is mapped in her closet.
by Katrina Heron
Now for the best part: that damn closet. Looking back, the solution that presented itself was so obvious I don’t know why I didn’t think of it sooner. The gray sweaters are still in there, waiting for another home. But the new me lives in a much smaller, freestanding wardrobe that I originally chose for my kids.
This is a door I open with pleasure. No regrets–or, as Madame Vreeland might have said, Je ne regrette rien! I couldn’t save that old relationship, and I didn’t want to fight anymore. So I just moved out.

You just described the last year or two of my life. Everything in my closet was black and my rolls were plenty. When I realized that my marriage was over, I was freed in a sense that I could justify paying attention to myself as a woman - not just a wife and mother. I lost weight because I was happy. Suddenly, I was buying cute nighties to wear - even though no one saw me in them. I started borrowing clothes from my teenage daughters’ closet and now shop in the Juniors section. My closet is full - I hate to get rid of anything! But the section of cute and fashionable outfits is what I frequent - and is what makes me feel flirty and feminine again. It’s so nice to have these additions to complement my newly-found self!

Excellent! Loved the article and totallly relate to it. I recently lost 50 lbs. have worked-out for 6 mos. and my closet has gone from prissy to pure sexy. I enjoy being a woman and I finally enjoy my sexuality.
