The weather has been crazy the past few years. We skipped winter and went straight to spring with the following year coughing up one hour of snow --ON THE DAY WE SET OUR CLOCKS UP FOR SPRING! This year Easter lilies blossomed during a torrential spring flood in December after which we went into winter then straight to summer. How do you plan a wardrobe?
Seasons are apparently becoming a thing of the past.
It seems the four seasons we counted on are now fighting for their place in line and I personally think Walmart is partially to blame!
When Christmas Items and winter clothing are available after July 4th and Bikini's can now be bought in January it kinda throws off the balance of everything! If you buy winter clothes in the summer of course you're going to at least try them out because new clothes are exciting. This has led to people wearing anything they want anytime of the year but accomodating for the weather hence going out in a sweater while wearing flipflops and shorts.
Maybe mother nature is watching us and going
"WTF? . I thought it was Spring but people are dressing for other seasons so which one is it? "
Don't mean to pick on only Walmart (but what are they gonna sue me?)
Other retail chains have fallen into the routines trying to keep up but it's kinda sad that Walmart seems to set the precedent and others follow right along.
They aren't trying to steal Walmart's business but simply trying to hang in there and not let Walmart demolish theirs. The whole Kmart / Sears things is a perfect example. While trying to loyal to the everyday consumer they were snuffed out by Walmart's new competition with Amazon.
Pay attention to your local Walmart in the very new future.
And this is all because of Amazon. Here's the deal! Amazon didn't promise the world to employees and exploit that reputation for all it's worth only to leave them in the cold. Amazon has streamlined the entire retail concept from day one and instead of hiring someone to stock shelves hoping for a promotion they have given the average person the chance to work at home, start their own business, and be partners with them.
Amazon has multiple optioins to make money, monetize, sell your own product, become an affiliate, or dropship. In a sense they are using everyone for the extra marketing and advertising they get out of it, but in return they give everyone a chance to choose their own path.
Lastly, at Amazon you aren't being bombarded with way premature out of season items. They keep it real and appropriate while still keeping available those unexpected out of season items when you need it!
For those of us who have fallen victim to the wardrobe clutter and confusion of what and how to get rid of all the crap you bought that you didn't need or can't get rid of for emotional reasons try the 3-stage Clothing Witch Hunt on this list. It's a little guide to help you get your shit organized and streamlined without the stress of being overwhelmed by tons of clothes you "might wear that someday" syndrome.

By focusing too much on the forecast your more likely to get caught in situations where you are totally UNPREPARED for what may be in store.
*Just for fun let's breakdown the word forecast. This one is pretty simple just pull out the Latin roots, and use their definition to re-describe the word. *
-** fore** | The root word Fore means in front of, previous, earlier.
- forebear is an ancestor,
- To forebode is to give an advance warning of something badThey are predicting wealth and "fortune" and luck. (notice the missing "e" in "fortune".
- forecast is a preview of events to be.
cast **| verb: casts, casting, cast
- to throw or expel with violence or force
- to throw off or away: she cast her clothes to the ground
- to reject or dismiss: he cast the idea from his mind
So "forecast" broken down literally means throwing an idea prematurely,
like throwing the dice in a casino.
And sadly your dice have about the same
chance as would your weather forecast.
If you plan an indoors weekend based on the chance of rain you will be extremely unpopular with the rest of your tagalongs when they find out everyone else went to the lake over the mostly dry weekend. Obviously if you see a huge blob of green, red, and yellow taking up half your state headed for you that would be a day to do the inside thing.
If you do end up taking the boat for a spin and you get a little rain here and there never fear if you start practicing the next item on the list. ...
Backpacks are almost a fashion trend these days so buy one that matches everything and keep the following in it at all times:
flip flops
One of each in that sucker (two socks) and you've got it covered! Let the weather show
it's crazy ass all it wants! A half used roll of paper towels might come in handy also. (half used
so it doesn't take up much space)
This is a vacation tip. How many of us have left the dead of winter bundled up like Ralphy in the Christmas Story, only to get off a plane a few hours later in 90 degree weather about to keel over. First off, if you know this in advance, layer your clothes. Dress for summer then cover it with warm clothes. You can start shedding gradually without giving a striptease and there's less to pack (less bags, less baggage claims). But the real secret is....ship your clothes. Pack appropriate clothes for your destination and take them to UPS or whoever and ship them. You don't need them till you get there. Then before coming home ship them back. You will leave and return in the same clothes without the hassle of baggage.
Any souvenirs will also be safer than being thrown around a terminal
DO THE MATH - IT WILL SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY
So we're redfinnig how to organize our clothes:
So you now have everything put away and comfortably organized according to item, not seasons. Remember, it doesn't matter anymore. People wear the wierdest shit and it ends up looking awesome so if you want to wear a western cowboy shirt and hooker boots go for it. I can almost guarantee someone will be copycatting any new style or un-style you can throw together.
(Hint: if there is a crazy combo or questionable clothing choice that you want to wear but are worried about it --
Hope this helps some of you - I know there are some of us who have never actually had all of our clothes clean, dried, and put up all at the same time (unless you take it to the laundry mat where they do it all for you) . Hopefully this 3-staged clothing witch hunt will help get rid of some of those piles or baskets. Just remember though, still try to keep a tub in the trunk so if you put on a shirt one day and it doesn't fit or is missing a button - throw it in the trunk - don't put it back up or throw it in the laundry!! It isn't going to magically be like new and fit next week either!
