I started taking them to a local consignment store because then I can buy stuff when I make money, so it lessens the pain of parting with the clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-getting-rid-of-clothes-1#post-1888865 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 19:36:08 +0000 catomd00 1888865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I wore it 2x or less in the past year it goes. don't think about it or make up the "what if" scenario...just toss it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-getting-rid-of-clothes-1#post-1888785 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 17:25:00 +0000 Bluemasonjar 1888785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I swap out my clothes based on the season so my plan for tomorrow is to pack away all of my summer clothes and get out the fall/winter. It is always a good time for me to purge anything I don't wear. I am expanding it to include anything I don't feel great in. Goodwill is going to get a lot of my clothes. </p> <p>I like your shopping rule @rocker2014! I have been known to return things I didn't love after I got them home but I think the one month rule would be good for anything I am on the fence about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-getting-rid-of-clothes-1#post-1888645 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 13:35:09 +0000 Rocker2014 1888645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Generally the 1 year rule - if it hasn't been worn it's out (unless it is a formal dress or something with a specific purpose).</p> <p>I also have a shopping rule for myself, though, which helps. If I don't wear something that I've purchased within a month of owning it, I return it. If I can't get excited about wearing it immediately, I know I'll never choose it over the things I already have and love. (obvious exceptions: special event clothing, out of season footwear, etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-getting-rid-of-clothes-1#post-1888641 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 13:29:09 +0000 Oliviapope 1888641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to go through them once a year, and sort anything I get rid of into consignment/donation piles. And then reward myself with one or two new things :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-getting-rid-of-clothes-1#post-1888632 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 13:12:15 +0000 Smurfette 1888632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I haven't worn in a year, I take to Goodwill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-getting-rid-of-clothes-1#post-1888629 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 13:03:28 +0000 namaste 1888629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go through twice a year and throw things out, especially if they're two+ years old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-getting-rid-of-clothes-1#post-1888529 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 09:52:14 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1888529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always have a pile of clothes that I save for when I can fit them again. I'm at my Mom's house right now and I found clothes I've put away from junior hs and I did not toss them! -_- </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-getting-rid-of-clothes-1#post-1888527 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 09:48:49 +0000 Canoli 1888527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just having this conversation with a coworker. I need to do a major purge but I don't have the time right now and I also am "afraid" to get rid of stuff even if I haven't worn it in forever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-getting-rid-of-clothes-1#post-1888516 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 09:16:03 +0000 maddyz 1888516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of the advantages of small apartment living is that I pack my winter and summer stuff up every year because I don't have room for all of it at once. This means that I go through all my clothing one a year. If I didn't wear it it's out. Is really helped me keep things under control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-getting-rid-of-clothes-1#post-1888473 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 07:21:41 +0000 Orchid 1888473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I don't feel great in it, it has to go. I have very few clothes now (just got rid of half of all my clothes) but they all get regular wear and I'm comfortable in everything. It's incredibly freeing and simple. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-getting-rid-of-clothes-1#post-1888471 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 07:17:58 +0000 babycanuck 1888471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>buy one, toss two, if you haven't worn in the last year of seasons, toss it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-getting-rid-of-clothes-1#post-1888461 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 07:01:30 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1888461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I haven't worn it in over 2 years/seasons, toss it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-getting-rid-of-clothes-1#post-1888437 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 04:33:48 +0000 ineebee 1888437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to have a pretty hard time with this, but after moving 6 times in the past 5 years, my rule is the same as some others: If I haven't worn it in a year, it gets thrown out or donated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-getting-rid-of-clothes-1#post-1888418 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 00:58:39 +0000 autumnlove 1888418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kimberlybee: I filled a garbage bag full of stuff to donate but I am having second thoughts...ahhh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-getting-rid-of-clothes-1#post-1888406 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 00:12:20 +0000 Kimberlybee 1888406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go through this same issue! I did a huge purge when I was pregnant and we were making room for baby girl but there's still so much left to go through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-getting-rid-of-clothes-1#post-1888393 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 23:08:46 +0000 PurplePumps 1888393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If they haven't been worn in a year, if it doesn't fit and probably wont fit again. If I look at it, but always pick something else to wear over it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-getting-rid-of-clothes-1#post-1888385 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 22:53:23 +0000 sunny 1888385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a hard time with it too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-getting-rid-of-clothes-1#post-1888380 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 22:46:25 +0000 MamaChin 1888380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My closet ranges from size 4 to size 10 so I definitely feel you! I'm just starting to purge and have been ruthless. Everything that doesn't fit is out, the only things I kept were "goal" clothes - some expensive jeans and pants I'm hoping to get into again, some silk shirts and favorite dresses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-getting-rid-of-clothes-1#post-1888376 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 22:42:33 +0000 nadsia 1888376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go through the same thing. Can you sell them? Lessens the blow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-getting-rid-of-clothes-1#post-1888345 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 22:09:20 +0000 autumnlove 1888345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am having trouble parting with clothes that I never wear...ahh! </p>
