Right now I’m in the middle of a spring wardrobe cleaning. I’m throwing out (donating) anything that hasn’t been used for a year. I think more than half of my wardrobe is going!! Sometimes it’s hard to part with things, but I really need more empty space in my closet. Plus, the things that I don’t use make me feel really bad and give me bad conscience, so I’d rather get rid of them and maybe make someone else happy.
I’m also throwing away the make-up that I almost never use, because it bothers me. The same goes for all the stuff which I “might need one day”.
I’m donating most of the dresses I’ve sewn, too. You can see some of them in the photos. At first I felt bad about them, but then I figured that if I’d sewn these, I can sew new ones whenever I want to. Here’s an outfit with one of the dresses (I think it’s pretty), and there’s another one below.
I’m really on a roll, and there’s no one at home to stop me!:)
What about you? Do you anything similar? Or do you keep stuff?
I’ll be going through a massive wardrobe clean-out soon as we’ll be moving. So everything that doesn’t fit goes. As for what fits: if it’s not either flattering, practical or makes me insanely happy it’s going out.
Oh! I feel sad when I have to give clothes away, but it what you say, you need more space and there are a lot of things you are not able to use in a whole year. Plus, I think it is a very healthy exercise to be aware of all you have, you don’t use and therefore, you don’t really need. So, keep going!
In my case, my donations always go to my sisters, they’re always happy with giveaways
Lucky you! I have a lot of nice things that I don’t want anymore, but no one to give them to! Just Salvation Army:)
And I love the pink and brown dress… maybe you should keep that one, it’s beautiful and fits you great. Or give it to some of your friends (your handmade clothes I mean, it is so special you can do that), they will be happy for sure!
Keep that pink-brown dress – it is very beautiful and unique and you look great wearing it!
Thank you! It’s too late though:))
I’m definitely a clean-up-clear-out kind of person! Every few months I clean out my closet and inevitably end up giving away some stuff. I LOVE that pink dress you made, wish I could sew such beauties!
