the shite that was in there!

stuff from when i was 17!

including a red snake skin[effect]
crop top



now i need to fill the wardrobe, i've actually got 6 pairs of jeans, so i think i'm ok for jeans

feel good to get that out of my system

some stuff, i like but doesn't fit well anymore, i have put in the top shelf of the wardrobe, but i don't know if i should just chuck it? [well send to charity shop]

i did this a few weeks ago when i got new bedroom furniture.it felt good and even better to actually open a drawer or the wardrobe and find only things i loveGrin

yes i does feel good, although theres still a few bits in there i don't really like that much, but i can't toatlly gut it as i can afford to buy loads.

next on my hit list is clearing out my make up bag...

I file by 'nice' and 'less nice' and choose from either pile depending on occasion

less-well-fitting things can be fine eg under jumpers in the winter

don;t chuck so much you have nothing left - you can always get rid of it later (ie onc eyou have replaced it) but once it's gone you can;t get it back, iyswim

I do this once or twice a year. It's cathartic!

I charity shop anything I haven't worn for a year or anything that is more than one size too small or big (or Ebay it if it is of decent quality/a decent brand).

If you have selected things for the charity shop, put them in a black bin liner at the back of a cupboard. Wait six months. If you haven't missed anything take them to the charity shop!

agree with bonsoir, I did exactly that and at the end of six months or so went through the lot, salvaged one skirt and happily sent the rest away to charity

eBay if you need the money, friends/charity shop if you don't.

I've just done this today as well, have filled a binbag full of clothes. Don't have time for ebay so will take it all to the charity shop.
