Cue the dramatic eye roll.

(Here atVogue, I was even encouraged to curate my clutter.)

But heres the thing: As a Gemini, I do not like being told what to do.

And I so happened to like my chaotic overflowing closet, thank you very much!

I hear youbut what if my entire wardrobe gives me joy?

I love my mess!

That black blazer crammed into one of my four rolling racks?

I wore it to meet Lady Gaga.

(No big deal.)

Those Christian Louboutin red bottoms?

Scored them at a sample salealongside Julia Roberts, who was also shopping.

Some people collect scrapbooks or fridge magnets; I collect clothes.

And, listen: I am not a total monster.

I do understand the importance and value of only keeping things that we need.

If things in your wardrobeneed repairingor simply do not fit anymore, it is likely time to move on.

I refuse to deny myself of my gorgeous little treasures, just because I have them in abundance.

My piles (and piles) of style mementos mean something to me.

I will take my beloved mess over a cold, empty closet devoid of any personality any day.
