Getting Rid of Stuff - Day 3

In throwing out the old, I'm keeping my eye open for fabrics I can repurpose. Here is a pile I am going to use in my nuno felt! (thanks for the idea Adrienne Wood!)
 
Day 3: worked through another 18" of closet space, this time in a section that I actually wear a lot
 
Accomplishment: kept 10, threw out 5
 
Elapsed time: 10 minutes
 
Revelation: knowing discarded clothes are going to good use (like an appreciative recipient, or my art!) makes it easier to let go of some of the pieces!

How about you - when you discard clothes (or anything), does it help if you know where it will go?

Getting Rid of Stuff - Day 2

Don't let the colorful display fool you. Though it might look pretty, my closet is dysfunctional... I see blouses in here from 20 years ago! (And 30 pounds ago) yikes! Why in the world am I keeping things in here that 'might' fit when I go back down to my pre-babies, young body size 4?? Actually looking at them is rather depressing... I'm going to be ruthless in cleaning this out!

Day 2: Not much time today. Set my alarm and tackled about 1 linear foot of blouses
 
Accomplishment: kept 7, threw out 8
 
Elapsed time: 10 minutes
 
Revelation: I'm celebrating my body here and now and only keeping things that make me feel great! (If I alter my weight, I'll buy new clothes!)

How about you - are you keeping things in your closet that 'might' fit someday?

Getting Rid of Stuff - Day 1

When an avalanche of clothes fell on me while trying to extricate a pair of jeans from my closet I knew it was time.

Day 1:
Tackled pants and skirts
Tried every one on and tossed: 1) doesn't fit; 2) out of style; 3) doesn't look good; 4) don't love
Proud to box up 14 pants and 5 skirts to go to charity
Elapsed time: 25 minutes
