Confession: I was into

Binge-shopping

I nearly killed my wardrobe. Seriously. Two days ago

I was completely fed up. I was so annoyed that the closet

never closed properly, threw everything on the floor and said to Sander:

“Everything is going out. Everything.”

Okay, not everything went out, but holy guacamole, really more than

I thought. Four tenths of my closet disappeared into large garbage bags.

On to a new life. What a trash I’ve collected. I’m not doing it

anymore, or rather: I’ve never done it. For example, I found

a brown skirt from VILA. Once bought way too tight under the pretense of:

yes, but I’m going to get thinner, duh. I stumbled upon a bunch of Zara junk

that seemed nice in the sale ‘for vacation’, but which ultimately never got to experience the

Dutch climate.

”The pièce de résistance is a hideously hysterical H&M feather dress in green where I’m a”

cross between Dikke Doeda and Pino”

I look at outdated jeans. A lovely airy top with

a hole that I haven’t been able to part with for seasons. The time is

ripe, my friend, there you go. Sorry. The pièce de résistance is a

hideously hysterical H&M feather dress in green where I’m a

cross between Dikke Doeda and Pino. Sander is in stitches. “Kiki, seriously. Wáárom did you ever buy that hideous thing?!Did you really think you were going to wear this”

?” “Yeah, well, I don’t know. Maybe someday. At a festival or something. Or at a crazy people-with-crazy-clothes party.” He looks at me with a raised eyebrow. “Does that exist?” “Oh, I don’t know. Probably.”.

When I look on the floor, there are about eighty pieces of clothing.,

All bought in the past year and a half. Each one uglier,

more impractical, or newer than the other. Never again. Hello, I’m

Kiki and I’m into binge-shopping. Buying is my drug. And just like with drugs, it wears off quickly. So ideally, something new needs to be bought every

week. Well, with that binge-shopping I’m completely done.

Jet too, by the way, she’s trying not to shop for three months. , although she did have a little seizure last week, but oh well,, that’s forgiven. By the way, I just told Jet about my closet,

detox and the first thing she says is: “Wait a minute! Half of the

closet emptied? That means room to shop again?!“ Oh, oh she has a point…
