I have been saying I need to have a garage sale for the past two years!</p> <p>I have the following sorting method (for the girls and myself)<br /> eBay (quality brand, minimal wear)<br /> Garage Sale (no stains, common brands)<br /> Donate (play clothes, noticeable wear, minimal stains) Does that make me awful?<br /> Throw away (stains or holes). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-through-clothes-to-donateplan-for-winter-and-realized#post-1844543 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 21:28:46 +0000 Chuckles 1844543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FoodNerd81: Enabler :wink: Really, though, good for you for fitting into those pants! That's impressive </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-through-clothes-to-donateplan-for-winter-and-realized#post-1844196 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 14:09:12 +0000 Foodnerd81 1844196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chuckles: @MrsSCB: I don't want to be an enabler, but I actually lost a bunch of weight after having C and am wearing those jeans that I kept hanging on to even though they had been too small for 8 years. And I keep trying things on that I should have donated a while ago, since they hadn't fit in a long time, but they fit now! So, now I'm just going to keep everything, forever. Great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-through-clothes-to-donateplan-for-winter-and-realized#post-1844194 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 14:06:01 +0000 anandam 1844194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: haha I'm the same way! Things aren't in good enough shape to donate or sell, so those are the ones I keep wearing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-through-clothes-to-donateplan-for-winter-and-realized#post-1843808 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 22:48:15 +0000 bunnylovesbear 1843808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chuckles: Thanks...it was a much bigger task that I thought it would be, and I'm still not done. BUUUUUT, at least I got it started. Our upstairs hallway is probably going to be a disaster area for the next week, though...I'm using it to sort clothes/laundry. Oops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-through-clothes-to-donateplan-for-winter-and-realized#post-1843455 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 11:41:24 +0000 Chuckles 1843455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, everyone, for making me feel more normal. I also have a few things that I wear to death. </p> <p>@Mae: I also hate buying clothes (well, I love it, but hate spending the money). I have a checkout "bag" at Gap online waiting for me with a bunch of stuff that DH and I really need for fall. I know I should buy it all at once since there's a big sale this weekend, but I just can't pull the trigger. </p> <p>@bunnylovesbear: good luck!</p> <p>@Mrsscb: and @RA: I know! Especially post-pregnancy, a bunch of pants still don't fit. I think my hips got wider and might not go back to the way they were before, so I just have to accept that they will never fit again. Maybe in a few months :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-through-clothes-to-donateplan-for-winter-and-realized#post-1843425 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 11:03:53 +0000 MrsSCB 1843425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I'm a clothes hoarder. I honestly still have some dresses and things from high school that -- let's face it -- will not be fitting again. And yet I hold onto them because "these are nice clothes and mayyyybe they'll fit someday..." lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-through-clothes-to-donateplan-for-winter-and-realized#post-1843354 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 08:41:52 +0000 Mae 1843354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YEP. I am so freaking cheap when it comes to clothes. I hate hate spending money on them so I have mostly really cheap stuff that looks really cheap and gets worn out in like a month or I have like 3 nice things that I then wear to DEATH because they're all I have that look nice and then those get worn out fast too because I wear them too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-through-clothes-to-donateplan-for-winter-and-realized#post-1843352 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 08:38:26 +0000 Ra 1843352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going through my clothes right now, too. It's so hard! I have tops that I haven't touched in years but can't let go of because MAYBE I'll wear them next year. Or jeans that haven't fit since 2006. I'm going to get skinny enough to fit in them, right? Right?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-through-clothes-to-donateplan-for-winter-and-realized#post-1843302 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 06:08:42 +0000 Foodnerd81 1843302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chuckles: that makes perfect (no) sense. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-through-clothes-to-donateplan-for-winter-and-realized#post-1843254 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 00:23:52 +0000 birdofafeather 1843254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been more ruthless lately. But I feel you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-through-clothes-to-donateplan-for-winter-and-realized#post-1843247 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 00:02:48 +0000 bunnylovesbear 1843247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been putting this chore off all summer. I'm hoping to tackle it tomorrow. Wish me luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-through-clothes-to-donateplan-for-winter-and-realized#post-1843219 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 22:51:43 +0000 Chuckles 1843219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@foodnerd81: :) I have a big tupperware in the closet full of clothes where I think, I probably won't wear it again, but I'm not ready to throw it out or donate it. And so they sit there for a year or two (or more) until the next batch of clothes is ready for the bin. Then I finally get rid of the oldest clothes and put the new batch into the holding bin to sit there for no reason. (if that makes any sense) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-through-clothes-to-donateplan-for-winter-and-realized#post-1843215 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 22:13:57 +0000 Foodnerd81 1843215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I realize how bad I am when I won't donate something because it's in too bad condition... So I keep it. An it's usually like, a target cardigan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-through-clothes-to-donateplan-for-winter-and-realized#post-1843211 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 22:08:24 +0000 Chuckles 1843211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That if I was truthful with myself about everything that needs to get trashed because it's got small stains, little holes, or is just really worn out, I'd have almost no clothes left :bummed: </p>
