Since it's pouring outside (I'm on leave this week and next), I decided to do the most loathsome task of all---the change of seasons clothing switch in my drawers/closet. This year I was serious about tossing out stuff that I never/rarely wear or is too big, and packed up several bags of stuff to donate. Included among the soon-to-be-donated items are some Ibex baselayer tops.....unfortunately, they make me itch, so I can't wear them! Also am giving away several cashmere cardigans and sweaters.

When organizing my cedar drawer, I was surprised how many Shaks I've accumulated! I will wear those until they fall apart. I still need one in a navy blue, though.....
