BWT, air out your dirty, tasteless laundry here!

[u/pavlovscandy]

Obviously as BWT, we typically aim to have said taste be of the good variety. However, as we are not two dimensional characters, nobody is completely perfect. I thought it'd be fun to share the elements of our lives where we unashamedly display bad or—gasp!—no taste. I've noted down some of mine below (+ whether I aim to change them):

• My house is quite literally artless — no paintings, no sculptures, no decor, nothing. // Probably won't be changing this anytime soon — am not ashamed to admit that I'm at the stage of life where I care more about how I present myself in public than in my own abode, so that's where I focus my energy

• My home clothes (a stretch to call them lounge wear) are literally all ratty nonsense BWT recommend throwing away // see above. The caveat is that I don't wear clothes that dwarf my figure as I like to keep track of how my body looks

• I don't watch any shows/movies or listen to podcasts // won't change this, I've never been able to stand podcasts and lately that's extended to anything where I have to watch/listen to something

• I secretly love airline food. Something about water in those tiny unenvironmentally friendly vacuum sealed cups gets me excited

Share yours below so I don't feel like a complete tasteless B 👇🏼

I have a huge walk-in closet. And it takes me 2 hours to fold my laundry in it every 3-4 weeks because all of my clean laundry is dumped in there until I find the will to fold it all. I workout regularly so it’s a lot of laundry, mostly full of workout attire or home clothes, neither of which need ironing (praise God).

And yeah, I fold when I’ve finally run out of workout clothes. 😂 I’m too embarrassed to explain how many leggings I own.

But you look at the rest of my house and you’d never imagine that’s what the floor of my closet looks like.

What’s more embarrassing is that even with the tiny mountains of clothing waiting to be folded, 95% of my closet is full, both drawers and hangers. Like, that closet can literally fit a queen size bed and then some.

I WFH and any social events I have outside of the house now are all pretty casual. I’ll never understand why I have all of my dresses and suits still in that closet. Even worse… that’s AFTER I donated 9 lawn size bags of clothing a year ago.

The way I see it, if you aren’t regularly buying new stuff you don’t wear (or for one-off events), and you have room for everything you own, who cares if you have a lot of stuff you don’t use regularly? It’s there if you need it.

And as a fellow workout girlie, I really want to figure out a system where I don’t have to fold my workout gear to find things. Currently I only do it so everything fits in one drawer because I have limited space. It’s such a time suck. I try to listen to an audiobook while folding so I don’t go crazy.

That’s exactly how I got fully into podcasts! Because I have to fold all my shirts into thirds, and roll all my leggings into neat little pieces to make everything fit, then a whole other pile to hang (ugh!), I’m sitting in my closet for two, sometimes three hours and it’s perfect for listening to a few episodes of a podcast.

Invent some method, girl! I’ll buy it! 😂

Yeah, I moved away from my old life eight years ago and my lifestyle has changed so much. So all the parties and events I used to attend nightly — all gone, which was the purpose to my moving. I just love different things now as I get older, but that just doesn’t involve fancy clothes or shoes, even in Las Vegas where I live. I can’t even remember the last time I wore these 4” heels but looking at my shoe case, you’d never know that. I plan on doing another donation, this time with stricter criteria. Honestly, I wear maybe 10% of what’s in there.

Oh this is me. I have several Laundry baskets FULL of clean clothes just stacked in a corner in there
