If I ever think I am sane
All I have to do is look in my closet
It is insanity.
More clothes than any one person needs,
Ever
I’ve always been like this
Even during my jeans and t-shirt phase
There were lots of t-shirts
Bands and Harley’s
Cute little sayings
And socks to match
Pink, green, red, and blue socks
These days it is leggings
With tunics and dresses
So many dresses
And shoes
Oh my, the shoes!
And jewelry!
Cheap costume jewelry
Rings for my fingers
Rings for my lobes
I buy them to match my shoes

Friday Fictioneers is a weekly 100 word writing challenge inspired by a picture prompt. Click here to read other stories.
April is National Poetry Month, and so, I am attempting to write my Wednesdays pieces in that form. That goes for both The Unicorn Challenge, which is scheduled to post at the start of the day, and my Friday Fictioneer’s contribution which posts when it is complete (depending on the muse).
Thanks for indulging me.
Compulsive acquisitiveness! Nicely done

Only this morning I looked at my clothes collection and thought ‘Why, oh why do I need that lot?’

Oh boy, you’ll have lots of us who completely identify with this one! I have gotten rid of four big trash bags of clothing that was way to large, but I still have too much in my closet. I KNOW I should get rid of things that are too small, but I keep thinking, “Once I lose a few more pounds. . . . ”

This sounds like my T-shirt collection where I can’t fit them all in the drawer and don’t want to get rid of any. Definitely some strong conflict here. 🙂
