After reading the books of the Japanese writer Marie Kondo “Magical Cleanup”, I began to read the book. wardrobe. Spring is coming soon, which means it’s time to make room in the closet for lighter outerwear. But no matter how much I clean, I have a state in my closet - everything is complicated.

From jackets and coats, my home ones either grow (some in height, others in width), or do not grow, but with the onset of the new season there is an acute desire to wear new clothes. Fashion is changeable and it dictates its rules.

After the usual cleaning in a couple of days, my house is a mess again. No matter how much I clear my closets of clothes that no one wears, there are plenty of them. I'm seriously starting to suspect it's breeding there. Without my knowledge or consent.
