closet clean out

Thursday, May 30, 2013

I mentioned weeks ago that I had plans to clean out my closet.  There were numerous problems with my closet...1-Most of the clothes I never wear but hang on to thinking I might need them for "something." I have no idea what that "something" is, but it never seems to happen.  2-Now that I am postpartum, almost all of my clothes seem to fit differently each month   3-A lot of my maternity clothes have been lingering in my closet even though I haven't been pregnant for four months.  I didn't care for the first few months, but I'm thinking it's about time to move on.
 
My Goal:  I simply wanted my closet to contain clothes that actually fit, not necessarily look like a celebrity/Pinterest/perfect closet. :)
 
my method...
 
The changes do not look drastic but the functionality of my cleaned out closet is waaayyy better.  Plus, I added a little air freshener in there and all of a sudden I like my closet again.  hah
So, what did I do with all of the clothes that I wanted to get rid of?  Well, I figured that there were a handful of items that were still pretty cute and I could make some money off of them at Plato's Closet.  Boy, was I wrong!  I felt so OLD when I walked in.  Apparently, they didn't see the value in my conservative, Banana Republic style.  I made a whopping $10!  Not really worth all of the time I had to wait while they sorted through my clothes, but it did cover the ice cream we bought in the mean time :)  Anyhow, I am sure the clothes will get put to better use at Goodwill anyway!

  1. looks like you did a really good job at weeding through your clothes!
    I took some of my nice clothes to Plato's too a while back, and they didn't buy anything. kind of a slap in the face, haha.
    I've got some work to do with my closet before we move this summer!
