Is it hard for you to part with clothes?
I am cleaning out my closets and I really want to get rid of a lot of stuff - but it's always so hard!! I have tons and tons of summer clothes that I haven't worn in years - either because they don't fit, or I just haven't worn them - yet I just can't seem to part with them! I always play the "What if" game as in - what if this comes back in style or what if I actually lose enough weight for this to fit again?
I'm always scared I'm gonna miss something!

Re: Is it hard for you to part with clothes?
I hear you. My rule now is that if I havent worn it in 6 months...I get rid of it.
It was so hard, but I had to do it

Re: Is it hard for you to part with clothes?
I do the same thing but in the end I try to toss as much as possible.....I have never ever missed one item I gave away.....DH and I did a huge clean up and DONATED 28 LARGE bags of clothes
Good Luck you can always buy more clothes

Re: Is it hard for you to part with clothes?
I feel the same way - I have a triple dresser AND a closet full of clothes - and I only wear 1/2 of them!

Re: Is it hard for you to part with clothes?
Yep, totally, especially if there is some sentiment involved with the item. Being the wacko that I am, I remember EXACTLY what I wore on the first 4-5 dates with DH and I still have all those things, even though none of them fit and likely never will!

Re: Is it hard for you to part with clothes?
I have trouble getting rid of clothes too. If I don't really wear it anymore, I tend take it back to my parents' house and put it in one of the dressers in my old room.

My weight has gone up and down so drastically within the last few years my closet is literally bulging! At this point NOTHING fits me!

Re: Is it hard for you to part with clothes?
No, I have the opposite problem. I throw everything out and then of course I look to wear it then realizing I threw it out

Re: Is it hard for you to part with clothes?
I can get rid of other things out more easily than clothes or shoes. Now, I try to stick to the rule that for every new thing I buy, I have to get rid of one old thing. This also helps me keep my spending in check.
When I do get rid of clothes, I usually donate them - it makes me feel better knowing someone else might be able to get use out of them.

Ditto!!
And I have the rule that if I didn't wear it for that specific season, once the season is over, I get rid of it.

Re: Is it hard for you to part with clothes?
It is so hard for me to part with clothes. I have a sweater from 8th grade that I won't part with. I have 10 year old clothes and I love them as much as some of my 10 day old clothes.
I have a hard time giving really nice clothes to charity. I know I probably seem selfish and horrible but I would rather find a friend who can wear my old J Crew and Ann Taylor clothes that I don't like or can't wear anymore instead of giving them to charity where the people working there probably skim the good stuff off the top anyway.

Re: Is it hard for you to part with clothes?
Yes, I always hope to fit into the "skinny' clothes.  They don't take up too much room, though.

Re: Is it hard for you to part with clothes?
When I got pg I finally threw away my skinny clothes- I decided if I get skinny again I deserve a new wardrobe.

Re: Is it hard for you to part with clothes?
I clean out my closet at the end of each season. Anything that I didn't wear that season or didn't fit me, I get rid of. Some articles I love and do find it's hard to part with.

Re: Is it hard for you to part with clothes?
I have a really difficult time parting with clothes. I have so many outfits from when I was 2 sizes smaller "just in case" I lose weight. They're taking up half of my closet and drawer space.
