Laura's Closet

I love visiting my sister Laura when she's in the decluttering mood, because as her wardrobe shrinks, mine grows.
To say Laura is a shopaholic -- well, it's true. She's one of these shoppers who buys compulsively, wears something maybe once or maybe not at all and then it sits in her closet waiting for me to come rescue it.
My other sisters and I would walk through her closets (yes, plural) in awe and could only dream of having her wardrobe.

Fortunately for me, Laura and I are the same size in body and in shoe size. Unfortunately for my other sisters, they are not. One is way too short and her feet are too small. The other is always pregnant and doesn't always appreciate some of the styles Laura loves.
I, on the other hand, love her taste and love the fact that I have to get an extra suitcase to fill after I happily go through her closet collecting treasures. I'll be returning from my vacation with five new pairs of strappy heels, along with new skirts, blouses and sweaters and I didn't have to spend a dime.
I hope Laura notices how empty her closet now looks after I went through it and replenishes it for the next time I come visit.

Nice! My sisters and I lend each other clothes as we change size. I'm getting all my "skinny" clothes back from them now (they were their "fat" clothes). We've just decided to have combined pregnancy bins that we pass around. It's SO great.
