1) Plan to move to another country. A colder country, where you will not need 12 bathing suits of various styles, comfort & colors; or 18 pairs of flip flops.
2) Sorting Phase I: Throw out husband's old suits to make more sorting room in the drawer.
3) Sorting Phase II: identify the five suits worn the most frequently during the previous summer.
4) Sorting Phase III: identify those suits that are in physical distress from various plump body parts asking suit material to function at NASA-spec levels. Pitch any with pulling, pilling, snags or unauthorized stretching areas. As I do not treat my suits kindly with rinsing and careful wear, many fit this category.
5) Sorting Phase IV: identify and remove any suits that have nothing wrong with them, but "I just never loved it/wore it like I thought I would" because a) the underwire pokes in a funny place b) it rides up unbecomingly when getting out the water c) it falls down inappropriately when diving into the water d) "eh, why did I buy this suit in the first place?" and e) who am I kidding, I'll NEVER look good in this suit
6) Sorting complete, now evaluate those in the Discard Pile and engage in fond memories or shudders involving the various suits.
