I loved this song when I was younger…still do. Had to include it because of the title, other than that it has nothing to do with the rest of the post, ha!
I spent about 3 days last week organizing my room, cleaning out my closet, throwing away things that were old and ugly, and going through pretty much every article of clothing I own. I had to get rid of about 200-ish pairs of jeans (I haven’t gotten rid of a pair in years and I guess I liked buying new ones…lol) as well as a bunch of tops, skirts, etc.! 
I was not too happy about it since I love my clothes, lol, but now that I’ve lost some weight (70 pounds!), everything is too big. I did get a bunch of new clothes recently (with money I saved from my birthday, yay! 
) so that made me feel a little better about getting rid of so much stuff. new clothes always make me feel better. I did keep a few of my favorite things that are a little big because I can wear belts or find some way to make them work. Anyway, I thought I’d share some tips on organizing your closet and getting rid of things you don’t want/need/wear. I hope they’re helpful to someone.

1.) Get rid of anything that you no longer want or that you won’t wear anymore (or that doesn’t fit for some reason, unless you intend to fit in it again, lol). I know some people (me!!) love to hold onto things way too long and dread throwing things away (I’m such a hoarder!), but it’s good to make room for new things or just to make your closet more organized and useful for getting dressed/finding things more easily. I had some shirts from the eighth grade (lol!!) that were weird and I was never going to wear again; it was definitely time to get rid of them.
2.) Sort the things you don’t want into 2 different piles/bags:
-Trash (things that are ruined, have holes, or are just plain awful!)
-Donate/Give-away/Sell (things that are wearable but you just don’t want or fit in them anymore)
It’s always nice to donate old clothes to those who want them or are less fortunate than you. You could either give them to someone you might know who is whatever size the clothes are who might want them or donate them to some kind of charitable organization like Goodwill or something. I’m sure you could find one of those big bin things near where you live that collect clothes for the less fortunate. This is what I usually do with all my clothes I don’t want anymore or that don’t fit, it makes me feel good to know I helped someone.
You could also sell some of the nicer things you don’t want to a consignment/second-hand shop near you if you wanted to make a little extra money. I’m going to try this with a few of my jeans and things that I’m not donating since there’s this new consignment shop near me, I'll try and see if it works out.
3.) Arrange and sort your closet (that is now mostly free of anything you don’t wear/want/fit in) by either color or style or both. This makes it easy to find what you’re looking for, especially when in a hurry. I prefer color, so I organize my closet starting with white on one side then going through all the colors until you get to black on the other side. You also might want to sort by style such as tank tops, short sleeved tops, blazers, etc… I also put a second pole in my closet (I’m so handy, lol!) since I needed more space (I wish I had a walk in closet, but sadly I don’t), so I have my shirts/tops on the top pole and skirts/pants at the bottom of the closet.

5.) I also re-organized my jewelry and accessories (they got a little messy lately, lol), but I’ve already done a post on that before and not much has changed. You can see how I organized them here: http://principessagabriella.blogspot.com/2011/02/jewelryaccessoriesmakeup-collection.html

P.S. Thanks Dominick for the idea to write about this on here. See, I do listen to you, always, lol.

Anyway, here are two outfits from the past week (a few of the days I actually got dressed and didn’t stay in my pajamas…lol!). I also got a haircut! Nothing too drastic, I just got bangs, layers, and cut about 2 inches off the bottom because I hadn’t gotten in a trim in a while. The first outfit is before the haircut, obviously.
. I am talking to this one guy, who seems nice, but we’ll see. Anyway, I finally finished this semester of college yesterday!! I have never been so excited to be done school before. This semester, or the whole year, really, I’ve been such a stressed out mess. Always sad about some boy or pissed off at another, oh my! All that on top of never sleeping and spending 24 hours of my day on school work of some type was just too much! I do generally love school, learning, reading, writing, etc., but I just desperately need a break. So, for me, it summer vacation now!! Woo! 
I’ll also have more time to blog way more often, which I’ll get to soon, so yay! 
So we still continued talking, but I wasn’t sure what the hell we were doing. We weren’t dating because when he asked if I wanted to be in a long distance relationship with him, I said no. I don’t want to be constantly missing him and wishing I could be with him, when I can’t, it’d drive me crazy. Then again, I still felt like that, so I don’t have a clue what was going on. We both said we missed each other and it was starting to drive me crazy because I still want him, desperately. 
He’d never said anything like that before, even when we broke up God knows how many times…there was always some excuse why we couldn’t be together. It has to be the most hurtful thing anyone’s ever said to me. It felt like he ripped out my heart and literally stomped on it. All I ever wanted from him was his love and attention, I guess I’ll never have it. I tried so hard to fix things and wanted us to be happy together so badly, I guess I was really blinded by love. That silly phrase is right. It makes me wonder if he ever really loved me at all? I know I did and I still do love him. How do I make that go away? Will it ever? How do you get over loving someone? You’d think I’d have gotten over him a long time ago, I haven’t actually seen him in weeks! I have a hard time letting go of things, I suppose. I guess this time I have no choice but to be done with him. Hopefully, I get over him eventually. He didn’t deserve my love if he always made me feel awful like this. The thought of him being with anybody else makes me absolutely sick though...but I guess I do want him to be happy. I try to tell myself, "You don't need him, never did, you just want him. You can't have everything you want." I know I'll live without him, but still when I think about him and what thought we could have had together, it makes me so sad. I need to stop crying over him though. Whatever, I guess I’ll have to go back on my search to find “Prince Charming.” Ha, or maybe he’ll find me, whichever. I am determined to be happy this summer, I need it desperately. 
Here’s my Easter outfit and my new buddy, Buster the bunny.
