I just plain don't have enough clothes! literally... I have 2 pairs of jeans, 2 yoga pants, 1 mid skirt, 2 long skirts. a handful of t shirts and that's what I wear every day. I'm TOO good at closet purging!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-out-75-of-your-closet#post-668970 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:44:24 +0000 MamaMoose 668970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have ten pound to go to get to my ideal weight. Once I'm there I already told hubs I'm doing a fashion show for him and anything too big/too small/too ugly goes to good will and then I'm going on a mini shopping spree with the gift cards I was given for Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-out-75-of-your-closet#post-668959 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:38:32 +0000 bpcmarj 668959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to get rid of 90% of my clothes, and would if I knew I could get more, but money is tight! I think I will work on losing weight, then get rid of A LOT. I am so so so so very bored with my clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-out-75-of-your-closet#post-668954 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:37:23 +0000 babycanuck 668954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My biggest worry is that I'm holding onto all of these old clothes, and I don't know if I'll ever get back to my old size and if I'm kidding myself. I bought a bunch of new clothes recently and for every new piece I bought, I tossed 2, but I still have wayyyyyyyyyyy too much clothing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-out-75-of-your-closet#post-668946 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:35:19 +0000 Foodnerd81 668946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>75% seems extreme, but yeah, I could get rid of more stuff. Like @char54: I just went through ALL of my clothes and separated it into Still Fits (maternity), Keep but store (non maternity) and Donate (plus garbage that I should have gotten rid of ages ago). We are moving, too, so that helped me be better about purging, but I definitely kept a few things that haven't fit well in a while on the hope that I'll be one of those people who is thinner after baby than they were before. Once I'm back to my old size, roughly, I'll do another one where I actually try everything on and get rid of stuff that is just not going to work anymore. (I say that now, when I don't have a baby to be taking care of :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-out-75-of-your-closet#post-668940 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:32:50 +0000 jetsa 668940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@char54: I'm in the process of doing this too! I can still fit it a lot of my old clothes so the tub is a semi-permanent fixture in our room for now. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-out-75-of-your-closet#post-668934 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:31:13 +0000 Boheme 668934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely agree! I purge my closet regularly and sell the clothes to a consignment shop. What doesn't sell, I donate. Now if only I could get DH to do the same... he's a t-shirt hoarder! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-out-75-of-your-closet#post-668933 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:30:43 +0000 illumina 668933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could definitely do with having a clear out. The 10% of clothes I actually wear regularly cannot fit in the wardrobe or drawers for the other 90% of old stuff I no longer wear taking up space. I just hate throwing stuff out though :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-out-75-of-your-closet#post-668928 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:29:15 +0000 .twist. 668928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually don't need a friend to help. I'm kind of a purger and just went through my closet and got rid of about 50% of it... I just pick all the stuff I haven't worn in a year or more, or pieces that I know I won't be wearing again for whatever reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-out-75-of-your-closet#post-668923 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:27:59 +0000 sea_bass 668923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: I am doing this right now. Just without the friend I suppose. I listed tons of stuff on ebay and made £500 last week selling it. And it was all stuff I have not worn in YEARS! I am going to do the same till I can clear it out. SO liberating, and rewarding ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-out-75-of-your-closet#post-668915 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:26:06 +0000 immabeetoo 668915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree! Wearing maternity stuff and coming back to my other clothes made me realize how little I actually wear or want. Going to the consignment shop to sell soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-out-75-of-your-closet#post-668886 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:17:20 +0000 MrsStar 668886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, but I'm one that has regular clean-outs in the hopes of replacing them with new items but I never get around to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-out-75-of-your-closet#post-668850 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:09:09 +0000 Mrs. Bee 668850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i agree. we only wear 20% of our clothes 80% of the time. i recently got rid of 30% of my wardrobe and i don't miss it one bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-out-75-of-your-closet#post-668819 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:02:15 +0000 LindsayInNY 668819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a lot of things in my closet I could get rid of but I keep as security! I feel like I'd have nothing if I got rid of it all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-out-75-of-your-closet#post-668812 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:00:31 +0000 rachiecakes 668812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally agree!<br /> I would love to thoroughly go through my closet. What I actually where compared to my entire wardrobe is probably like 10%. I do hold on to more sentimental items than I probably should. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-out-75-of-your-closet#post-668805 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 14:58:45 +0000 Charm54 668805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The bump's way too big now to way my regular clothes, so I went through my closet and decided whether it needed to go in storage (Please-let-me-be-able-to-fit-back-in-you-someday clothes!), Trash, or Give Away. </p> <p>It is SO refreshing to see a clean closet with only a few maternity items. I didn't even know I owned some of the stuff I was hauling out!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-out-75-of-your-closet#post-668786 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 14:53:20 +0000 LuLu Mom 668786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 75% would be too much, but I have several clothes that I save as a "for when I fit back into it" and a ton of dresses I could proabbly get rid of. But I hate getting rid of something and then 4 months later want to wear it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-out-75-of-your-closet#post-668774 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 14:52:00 +0000 babycanuck 668774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm watching Anderson and the fashion guru on the show says in order to do a proper clean out of your closet, have a really close friend come over for an evening, try every piece you have in your wardrobe and if they say it doesn't look good, toss it.</p> <p>Do you agree? Disagree? </p> <p>Anyone done this? I'm actually considering doing it. I feel like I'm holding onto a lot of clothing in the hopes that I'll lose weight that I put on last year thanks to some medication and I haven't been able to lose. Reality bites, but I think it's time to bite the bullet. </p>
