Me: “What are you doing this weekend?”
Friend: “Cambio di Stagione.”
Yes, it’s that time of year… we have to swap out our Winter clothes for our Spring/Summer clothes.
My friends in Italy who are fortunate to have enough closet space to avoid under-the-bed boxes, still do Cambio di Stagione. Clothes that need to be dry-cleaned are dropped off. Boots and other other Winter shoes are taken to the cobbler.
My closet is tiny. I guess one benefit is even if I could afford to buy the clothes I want, I would have no place to put them.
As I get ready to Cambio di Stagione, I dream about more closet space.

I’m seriously thinking about sending you a shot of my version of Cambio Di Stagione! Ski gear piled on my bed, shoes everywhere, drawers open, shirts discarded and hot jackets piling up. I’ll need more than a weekend for this!!
Ha. I going to do mine this weekend despite the cold, rainy weather.
It’s going to be ugly.
You may be dreaming of a walk in closet, but I am dreaming of the thought of living in the Eternal City…che bella! I’d give up closet space any day, in order to live in Roma!
I hope you’re able to move soon!
