The lazy weekend mood continued today. But I did one project that I had to do this weekend: go through all my stuff in the basement, where I’ve stored clothes and other things. And get boxes of clothes ready for next Saturday, when I’ll be selling them on a blogger flea market! There were so many pieces that I felt like bringing up back in my closet (because I will sure use them some time etc), but then I had to remind myself I have no room here. And I can’t have another closet in my basement, that’s just too much. So heartbreaking goodbyes will happen next Saturday. But it will be refreshing, after clearing the basement I’m ready to tackle my closets! Besides saying goodbye to clothes I found the most perfect spring jacket today. I lost a similar one when I moved in here, I have no idea where my long army green bomber jacket disappeared (please if someone knows a clue tell me!), but I have a replacing one now. But I can’t get over the fact that in that lost jacket’s pocket I had my jeweled Hello Kitty mirror.
Laiska viikonloppu moodi jatkui tänään. Mutta sainpahan sentään jotain aikaan, kävin läpi koko kellarikomeroni tavarat, ja urakka se oli. Nyt on kaksi muuttolaatikollista vaatteita valmiina ensi lauantain blogikirppikselle, plus kassillinen kenkiä myös. Teki niin monen vaatteen kohdalla mieli tuoda tänne ylös kaappiin, koska kaikille mä keksin jonkun kivan yhdistelytavan tai idean missä mitäkin vaatetta käyttäisin, mutta lopulta olin jokaisen kohdalla keksimässä näitä, niin päätin vain kylmästi pakata kaikki pois. Sydäntäriipaisevat jäähyväiset tiedossa siis ensi lauantaina. Mutta kyllä karsimisesta ja luopumisesta tulee silti jotenkin raikastunut olo, sellainen että haluaa sitä selkeyttä lisää. Eli hyvään alkuun pääsin pitkään lykkäämässäni projektissa! Luopumisen teemaan ei sovi nyt tämä seuraava juttu, mutta löysin tänään täydellisen kevättakin. Puolustukseksi voin sanoa, että muutossa hukkasin juuri samantyylisen jota oon ikävöinyt niin paljon, pitkän armeijanvihreän bomberin. Eli nyt kaverit ja tutut, jos luette tätä ja oon unohtanut takin jonkun luokse niin huutakaa hep! Taskussa oli timantein koristeltu Hello Kitty peili, ei helpota kipua menetyksestä… No, kaikella on tarkoitus. Ehkä siinä takissa oli jotain ihoa syövyttävää myrkkyä. Nyt menee taas väsyneeksi jutut, huomiseen! Ainiin vielä faktat ensi lauantain kirppiksestä:
Mikä: Bloggaajien kirppis
Missä: The Cock, Fabianinkatu 17
Milloin: 6.2. lauantaina, klo 10->

That’s too bad! Hahah you’re so sweet! x
Gemma A says
Well done! I hate the before feeling of having to sort through clothes, but love the accomplishment feeling that you get when its been done! Plus it can be sooo hard to part with clothes because theres always the ‘I might need that for’ feeling! But at the same time not wanting to hoard!
Love your blog!!!
Xx
Marianna says
I know what you mean, me too! It’s so rewarding giving stuff away and having more space, but why is it so difficult to say goodbye to things? Thanks for the lovely comment Gemma! x
Alexsandra Bernhard says
Oh it is so good to clear some stuff out, have to do that myself since my wardrobe is so full.

Bri says
Oh my haha! That;s so cute about the Hello Kitty mirror! I have “lost” some things that way too but then they somehow found their way back into my life although I was SURE that I lost them or I left them somewhere. I am starting to worry about my closet too, would love to sell some of my stuff too but I don’t think it’s enough to bring to a market haha. Are there that many bloggers in Helsinki to make a whole blogger flea market?
With Love,
Bri

I hope that would be the case with my jacket, but now it’s such a long time ago that I’m afraid… But who knows! I think there’s ten of us there, it’s a restaurant space used for that flea market that day 🙂 x
Laís says
Whenever I have to do a closet clean up like this I feel so heartbroken too, but the results are quite amazing. More room, more creativity, more energy flowing…
Oh, I wish I had done something useful this weekend too. I mean, anything. I’ve slept the whole time.
Marianna says
Exactly!! Those words I have to remember when I continue. Gotta stay tough and remember that I won’t be missing them clothes when they are gone, I’ll be happy of the new space and the fact that I can enjoy the ones that are left even more. Hahah let me tell you I’ve been at least as lazy as you 90% of the weekend! x

I would be in heaven if I could buy your old clothes because I love your style but it´s to far xD I hope you have a great time selling the stuff 😀
Marta says
OMG! Me too! <3
Marianna says
Aw <3 😀
Rachel says
That jean jacket looks adorable! I so need to clean out my closet. I have so many clothes that don’t fit me anymore and I keep thinking maybeee they’ll fit again once I lose weight…but I know that I’ll just want some new clothes by that point anyways 🙂

Marianna says
I’m the same, always coming up with excuses, it’s so difficult! But you’ll be so much happier with less stuff that are actually perfect, and not ones you might wear with a certain way, cause they are kind of nice. I’ve kept so many clothes I’ve thought that way about, but years have gone by without using them. So now it’s my time to be tough! Good luck Rachel with your project! 🙂 x
Kim says
I love this outfit! And decluttering is the best feeling. I just moved across country and it feels amazing getting organized and clearing out old stuff!

Ana Carolina says
Can’t believe you’re selling your clothes and I’m at the other side of the world! How unfair! Hahaha. Good luck dear! X
Marianna says
Aw you’re so sweet, but that’s a shame! Would’ve loved to have you there! x
Sampada says
It is so tough to let go of clothes, especially when you have those nagging thoughts telling you that you might wear them again! But, isn’t it great finding old pieces out of the blue? I love it when that happens!
Enjoy the flea market — I hope that it helps you in the clearing out process 🙂

Anna says
Oh no, you had this jacket for like FOREVER? But I’m sure one day you’ll find it! In a place where you’d never expect it!
Have a good start into the new week. x
Marianna says
It’s not the parka jacket with the faux fur hood (if you meant that?), but a longer bomber jacket with big pockets and a gold zipper… I hate even remembering it in my head, I loved that one! But thank you Anna! 🙂 And have a nice week you too! x
Anna says
No, I don’t mean the parka 🙂 I meant the camo jacket, but NOW I know what you mean, haha. I’m sorry! 🙁 Fingers crossed you’ll find it anytime soon, with your cute mirror.
annie lee says
decluttering is the best thing i’ve done in the past month! the book “the life changing magic of tidying up” by marie kondo and “essentialism” by greg mckeown was a big inspiration! you should give them a try if you haven’t yet 🙂
Marianna says
You’re not the first one mentioning me about that book, I have to read that! Thanks for the other tip too, haven’t heard about that second one before. 🙂 x
Natali says
Great jacket and scarf, esp. for cold Winter days! Good luck with the decluttering and getting rid of some clothes, even if we don’t want it, sometimes is necessary and the only right thing to do. 😀

Laura says
Haha, sika hyvä toi ihoa syövyttävä myrkky :D:D pitää iteki ajatella noin ku hukkaa jotain!
Jeps, hyvä välillä laittaa tavaraa kiertoon, vaikka luopuminen harmittaakin. Mutta se tilan tuntu ja juuri tuo mainitsemasi raikkaus. Ei oikeesti tarvitsisi niin paljon vaatteita, itseäni ahdistaa tursuava vaatekaappi, mutta silti aina tulee ostettua uusia… Äääh!!!
Marianna says
Haha no jep, pitää jotenkin lohduttautua! 😀 Ja sama, kyllä se vaatepaljous enemmän ahdistaa kuin ilahduttaa, kun tuntuu ettei oikeasti niitä tule läheskään kaikkia käytettyä. Vaikka miten aina läpikäydessä mielessään lupailee että kyllä mä käytän. Enemmän tilantunnusta olisi iloa! Mutta nyt koitan tsempata ja ottaa kevään projektiksi kunnolla karsimisen. Ja pitää mielessä uusia juttuja ostaessa, että mikään muu kuin täydellinen ei kelpaa, 100% varmat päätökset vain. 😀
Kiitos kommentista Laura! 🙂
Nina says
Moi!
Oon muuttamassa yksiöön ja etin inspiraatio kuvia sisustukseen. Mietinkin, että minkä kokoinen tuo sun edellinen asunto oli? 🙂
Marianna says
Mitähän se oli… 34 veikkaisin. Nykyinen noin 10 neliöä isompi. Toivottavasti muistan nää suht koht oikein! 😀 x
Sasha says
OOo i wish I could go to such a bloggers flea market!
