Konmari'd Underwear (Mostly Socks)

It is suggested in the Konmari method "Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" by Marie Kondo, to start with clothes. Instead of becoming overwhelmed by the large pile (which I attempted previously), I decided with the sub-category of underwear to start with. To inspire the question of 'does this spark joy?' I added a few drops of Joy blend into the diffuser.

Starting pile.

Some were easy decisions. Worn-out elastics and ones with holes. Bra straps without a bra. A pack of unopened brand new stocking to give away as the ones currently in use are still in good condition.

As a collector of socks, I love them all but don't have the energy to mend all. I also parted with a few which I accidentally bought a size too small and they never fitted me properly. It gave me an opportunity to thank each pair for the joyous memories, before placing them onto the discard pile.

This is how I want to feel with any sock choices.

Husband's sexy gifts caused more head-chatter, which forced me to focus back onto me - does this item give me joy? No, I'm not going to answer whether he likes it, his opinion doesn't matter. I surprised myself at how many lacy frilly things gave me joy, and parted with more complicated strappy stringy items.

End result of the sock drawer.

The choice of this storage location came about from the time when I intended to never use the main bedroom again, which was a decision from a year and a half ago. So this section will probably remain like this until the time comes to sort out the furniture.
