Oh, I’m cracking up about the picture of my jeans. I like to think I’m bohemian. I’m pretty sure everyone else in my family thinks my style is homeless.

YES! We need to be real facebook friends. I will try to find you. I can be pretty quiet on there, especially lately with everything going on here. I do pop in from time to time and talk of my love for chocolate pudding. ha ha. I’ll try and find you!

I do go through it. I seldom take it all out, but sometimes I will take out one or two items. If they’re still unworn or unused in a few months, they go back out again or else I decide it has sentimental reasons. But that doesn’t happen often.

I do the same thing with my books. It makes it easier for me to get rid of things knowing I can go and retrieve it for a short while before it’s gone forever.

I am CRACKING UP!!! Oh, how I love you Topaz. Oh, how I just love you.

Had to come back and say that after reading your comment!!!! I want a selfie of your jeans/shorts. Please!!!

I’ll give you a selfie of my fleece and oversize sweater.

(Are you on FB? If so, we MUST be friends. Find me if you can, I really suck at finding people.)

How wonderful that you got yours done before you became immobile! Right about now I am wishing I had done mine a few years ago, but on the upside, I am starting to feel a little better. Praise God. And, oh yeah, I work really well with a reward system. Really well.

I admire your strength and decisiveness to get rid of it when you realize its time has passed. I need to get better about that. I think it’s the times that I’ve thought that about something, but then found myself digging it out of the give away bag later and liking it again….until I find myself doing the same thing with it six months later. Ha ha. I’m consistent if nothing else.

Oh, girlfriend! We could totally hang together. I am all about big warm, comfy clothes. My favorite jeans have pretty much zero butt left. I wear them around the house with shorts underneath them. I. Kid. You. Not.

I’m going to try and be more like you and get rid of something the moment I put it on and hate it on me. I’ve got to start taming this closet thing.

Hi Nancy,

Do you ever get a teensy, weensy bit tempted to look at the things in the garage before you toss them? I definitely think I’m going with a “maybe” box, especially if I am pushing myself to make quick decisions, but I can just see myself going through that box in six months and pulling it all out. Ha ha. Anyone who can throw it out without even peeking is my hero. It’s nice to meet you, and thank you so much for sharing how you declutter your closet. Having the safety net of not immediately throwing out my “maybe” items I think is the only way I’m going to be able to do this and not take six months to do it.

If I try something on, and I hate it or it doesn’t fit anymore? I simply don’t put it back in my closet. I immediately get rid of it (give away, donate etc). Truth be told, I am at a point where the only things I like to wear are fleece and big warm sweaters. LOL

Maybe someday that will change… (oh spring, where are thou? Come hither please!)

Nancy
