spring hibernation

tonight i switched out closet from fall/winter to spring/summer. while doing that, i realized that many of my spring/summer clothes would not work this year. so i packed those away too. usually, one plastic bin is enough, but now i'm not so sure. this pile looks smaller than it is.
these are all the clothes left that i hope to be able to wear this spring (in addition to tshirts and the two blazers on the opposite side of the closet). there will be a few more dresses and skirts. i have surrendered to the idea that i will not wear another pair of pants for the next six months. this makes me sad because i am a pants kind of girl.
in addition, i have started the maniacal habit of wearing things now that i don't think i'll be able to wear in a matter of weeks. in contrast to my livelihood, i don't care very much about clothing. to rephrase, i guess don't care to have very many clothes but am attached to the things i do have. a few times this past week, i changed my outfit twice in a day. usually, jse thinks this habit is funny and cute, but when i've crossed the line and my clothes look like sausage casing, he will look at me up and down and say that it's time to "temporarily retire that".
