Tom and I have been sorting through all the clothes that no longer fit. This is my first bunch—I still have to go through the long-sleeved shirts, summer stuff I’m making last through the end of summer, and more jeans:
- 18 shirts
- 11 pair comfy pants
- 10 dressier shirts
- 3 dresses
- 3 shorts/2 Capri/2 jeans/6 dress pants
- 3 PJ sets
- 1 swimsuit
- 4 bras
- 2 sweaters
I look forward to having fewer clothes in my closet, that’s for sure. (Honestly, it doesn’t look like I took anything out—it looks like a normal closet now. That’s what you get when you keep clothes in four sizes!)
I pulled out a fall jacket that I’ve only worn once and it’s been too tight for years—and now it’s too big (which I could say about a lot of my stuff).
I know it’s a great thing to be losing weight, but I’m having a hard time putting some of my favorite pieces in the donate pile. I keep wondering if maybe I shouldn’t try to get them altered so I can keep wearing them…but then I realize I will just buy cuter clothes that actually fit. But it’s still hard. 🙂
Every time I get dressed now I just shake my head in awe because I was literally thisclose to getting rid of all my clothes that were too small that I hadn’t worn in years and were just pissing me off seeing them there. And those are the clothes I’m wearing now!!
The “good” and the “bad” of it! Fun to get rid of stuff you won’t need and fun to fit into favorites of the past! Bad because some favorites now won’t fit. I remember taking in pants and tops just to fit if even only for a while.You hate to pay to have something really nice fitted because it will only fit for a while! You can save stuff that will fit when you reach your final goal. Congratulations!
If you were closer I’d probably have you sew a few things…
