Today, I want to talk about.... my massive, depressing-to-look-at inventory. It usually takes me several hours to get dressed in SL, and when I finally do decide on something to wear - I don't want to take it off, because it took me sooooo long to find. Which sucks with my fashion blogging lately, because I have to take parts of my outfit off to blog about a specific item (which is why I've been doing several LOTD posts lately). Don't believe me? Let me show you...
Let me explain what this is. You know when you buy something, you get a folder in your inventory under you trash folder? Yeah, thats what this is. The countless amounts of folders that have been built up over the past month. There are almost EIGHT(!!!!!) full inventory windows FILLED with unorganized stuff! And..... this isn't even including the hundreds of boxes from group gifts and such in my Objects folder that are waiting to be unpacked.
I am now considering hosting some kind of inventory organizing party. It's been something I've wanted to do for a while, but I'm a terrible host, and I'm always freaking out if I'm being extremely boring, or something. I've never put on a party of any kind before, so I'm not sure how I should go about it. XD

I think an inventory organizing party sounds like a lot of fun. It would be a nice low-key way to hang out with people and maybe even give out some of those transfer items you don't want but hate to trash.

I'm so totally there. I'll even offer up my island again as a party location. Anything to get my inventory under control, lol!

OMG Sai! You got all that over one month???
Last night I shoved a whole bunch of folders into other folders: "Unsorted: Dresses", "Unsorted: Tops", "Unsorted: Various", etc. lol
Like you, I still have massive amounts of boxes unpacked. Ohnoes! XD
Inventory is at 27k...

I forgot... I also have a "Treasure Hunts" folder where I stuff all the hunt prizes in after doing a hunt. I'm scared to look in there :P

i'd go to an inventory party. but I need a posestand. I always sort on a posestand. that way I can try on and adjust as needed.
my inventory is redonk too, the thing I did was make a folder called "clothes to sort" and dump it all in. yeah it's like sweeping all of the dirt under the rug but it *looks* cleaner at least. XD

That's nasty!!! lol
I know I know y'all probably have 35, fatpacks of hair (cause they were on sale), countless attachments, thousands of clothes (most of you've never even worn - bought and forgot about or were gifts) and other stuff like furniture and accessories that have never seen the light of day (windlight).
It is during these 'aha' moments (as Oprah would call it) that you have to decide which of those things you really need and which are well, just clutter. Now I know there are some useless things that you can't let go off like for example a really nice ball gown that has been in your inventory forever but you've never really worn anywhere or a pair of fantasy hair/clothes that you're just waiting for an event to have that theme (but there never is).
So you sit down on some poseball and ponder...'If there's nothing missing in my inventory then why do these tears come at night?' there is nothing like the feeling of frustration when you can't find something you need specially when you're in a hurry, like what you said spending an hour for one outfit. I have made system that I made up that has saved several hours in searching for something but I won't bore y'all with it.

omg Sai, that's insane!
I am super organized (like anal-retentively so), so if you wanna chat about it, shoot me an IM (and congrats about your partnership :))
