I figure I still have the $10 sign up bonus so I didn't want to be pressured to spend it on the site. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2179825 Fri, 15 May 2015 14:08:41 +0000 catlady 2179825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Nice! That reminds me, I still have credits I need to spend on there. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2179824 Fri, 15 May 2015 14:06:55 +0000 regberadaisy 2179824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: woohoo got offered $34!

Nothing to lose and they even save me a trip to goodwill! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2156973 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 18:35:04 +0000 maddyz 2156973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been getting rid of so much stuff and I want to toss more. I almost fit most of my old things so I often wear them but it looks a little ill fitting and I feel yucky. I am holding onto some of it to try again next year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2156942 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 17:04:42 +0000 FaithFertility 2156942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those sites are great never heard of them before :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2156940 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 17:03:46 +0000 FaithFertility 2156940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@charlotte: I am working for that!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2156934 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 16:45:24 +0000 snowjewelz 2156934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I've sent in older clothing I think as long as it looks good. I honestly don't know why they rejected some of my stuff saying there is staining/piling! I guess I didn't look close enough?! You can also browse their for sale section to see what kind of clothes people send in! Some are pretty basic like tanks and tees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2156909 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 15:28:00 +0000 SweetiePie 2156909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do this every season! It's really refreshing and therapeutic. Just did it last week for me AND my husband.<br /> My rule is that if I haven't worn it at all by the end of the season, it goes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2156882 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 14:10:05 +0000 regberadaisy 2156882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: @catlady: what kind of condition do you think? Like barely worn condition? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2156854 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 13:00:12 +0000 snowjewelz 2156854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@charlotte: wow I NEED to do this! I don't think I can cut down to that much but I can def get rid of half of closet for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2156850 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 12:44:08 +0000 catlady 2156850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: It's free shipping if you want to sell. I experienced the same thing as @snowjewelz, they always reject some stuff. One tip is that if there are some things you might want back if they give you too low of an offer (or no offer at all), send those in separately. Basically you have to either take their offer for your whole bag of stuff or else have them return everything at once. But you can send in as many separate bags as you want.</p> <p>I've sold to twice a few times and to thredup once. I recommend twice for womens clothes since they process it faster and I felt like they gave better offers. I used thredup for selling maternity and kids clothes since twice doesn't take those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2156826 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 11:46:37 +0000 charlotte 2156826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: I read this great post about this the other day and I want to pare down too! <a href="http://dallas.citymomsblog.com/why-i-got-rid-of-my-wardrobe-capsule-wardrobe/" rel="nofollow">http://dallas.citymomsblog.com/why-i-got-rid-of-my-wardrobe-capsule-wardrobe/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2156818 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 11:22:56 +0000 CakeLady 2156818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a new job at 9 mos op, I used it as an opportunity to overhaul my wardrobe. I really pared down the total number of items, only kept things I loved that are flattering and versatile, and invested in some new pieces that fit really well. Not only do I feel better about my pp body (back to pre preg weight but things have definitely shifted around) but it is SO much easier to get dressed for work in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2156814 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 11:01:08 +0000 snowjewelz 2156814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I've sold to twice before... They ship you a huge bag and it's free shipping to then. I believe they have a list of brands they accept online: the take gap, Ann Taylor, even outlet stuff. But they are pretty strict. I wash and inspect all my clothes and they still reject some of them! They make you and offer and you can accept or pay $5 to get them back. I always accept since I was going to donate anyway and they donate for you the stuff they reject. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2156809 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 10:48:10 +0000 turquoisemama 2156809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm up 10 pounds but the thing that makes all my shirts not fit is my gigantic boobs! I've gone up two cup sizes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2156799 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 10:36:21 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2156799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If there's stuff you really love I'd hold onto it for a few more months. I'm now 17 months postpartum and my weight is similar to a year ago, just a few lbs less but things have settled a little more- not prebaby shape but somewhere in the middle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2156797 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 10:28:36 +0000 regberadaisy 2156797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: do you have to pay for shipping to them? Do you get paid only if someone buys it? My clothes aren't name brand and I haven't gone shopping in years so I'm not sure I'll get anything for them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2156788 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 10:16:43 +0000 FaithFertility 2156788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: I like that idea :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2156786 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 10:16:16 +0000 FaithFertility 2156786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: AGREED I have some clothes that just NEED to go....lol<br /> @LC: hahaha yes I feel.like my ribs and hips are wider<br /> @snowjewelz: Yep buttons all the way :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2153877 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 09:57:14 +0000 snowjewelz 2153877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh I still have 15 lbs to loose :( :( </p> <p>It's mostly tops... I don't know if it's my boobs (ok yeah it is), and maybe my rib cage got bigger? Or my arms got more muscular from holding her?! A lot of tops just don't fit anymore. Plus I keep buying things with buttons for easy access! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2153872 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 09:55:53 +0000 LC 2153872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did this as well, and it was great to get rid of things and get back into normal clothes! But I just wanted to mention that for me anyway, it took a loooong time for some parts of me to return to "normal", like my ribs and hips were wider until I was about 9m-1yr pp... so don't give up hope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2153869 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 09:55:06 +0000 blackbird 2153869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would wait a little longer before chucking stuff! 4 months pp, things are still shifting back into place. I did have a good basket of stuff I decided I would never wear again--too low cut, too short, too tight, WHATEVER. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2153859 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 09:52:17 +0000 Alivoo01 2153859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Agreed!</p> <p>@catlady: That's awesome! No (too much) extra out of pocket expense and you get new clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2153808 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 09:29:27 +0000 catlady 2153808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went through this and it was actually pretty fun. I sent in alot of clothes to places like twice and thredup, and then used the credits I got for new clothes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2153804 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 09:28:34 +0000 Mamaof2 2153804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good for you! Cleaning out is tough but once its gone it so refreshing! (I think) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-out-my-closet#post-2153799 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 09:26:52 +0000 FaithFertility 2153799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've started cleaning out my closet at 4 months pp I am 5.lbs close to my pp weight but have noticed my body is definitely not the same!!! As I try shirts and such I see I am probably NEVER going to be 100% back to what I was and I am totally ok with that, that said..I feel like throwing away 90% of my clothes and just starting over...but need the push.......... </p>
