Cleaning out the closet!

And it's hard work!

I keep trying things on!  Some of my old clothes that I'm digging out are already too big. How did that happen?  And some of them just don't look good.  I almost hung some of those up, and thought, why? It's not at all becoming, even if it does fit.  So, I'm even getting rid of stuff that fits. 

When I get through, I may actually have space in my closet. Wow, that will be strange, because right now it has 3 different wardrobe sizes in there!  (Or it did.)

And I don't have a single pair of jeans that fits.  That's a travesty.

Oh, and by the way?

I'm not complaining!

 You go girl! I have some various sizes also. I'm not ready to clean it out yet. I'm losing mostly in my upper body right now so some stuff is workable. 

I do have this size 16 jeans I can't wait to get back into :)

Keep up the good work!

I found a bag of smaller clothes that I'd gathered to give away and never did. Jeans!  LOL

Haha! Awesome!

I'm going to have to do the same thing one day this week... the Atlanta meetup is the weekend after next, and I'm in charge of the clothing swap, so I need to be getting ready!

I should probably find a clothes swap near me.

I just got back from Salvation Army.  Now I need to go wash a few clothes and see what my closet looks like when it's not bulging!

Isn't it a great feeling!

I did that a few months ago, then realized even big I had a huge shopping problem!  This is the first time in 30 years that I've only had 2-3 pairs of pants. 

Good luck shopping!  I've found great deals at Jcpennys!

I have to have some clothes that look nice for an upcoming trip so I ended up buying stuff even though I have clothes that fit now.  But the clothes that fit are years old and not necessarily 'nice.'
