I mean, they are already stained anyway why would I throw them out and buy new ones when the next one is going to get deoderant stains too?Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-20118495121051730392008-11-09T13:03:00.000-07:002008-11-09T13:03:00.000-07:00sharon rose, it's those things that I have never w...sharon rose, it's those things that I have never worn that really make me feel like I'm hoarding clothes. Maybe I should put a date on them and after 2 years they have to go.<BR/><BR/>over the cubicle, I totally agree. The thrift store won't even accept my comfy clothes with holes so why should I have to get rid of it? Ok, so I wouldn't be seen in public wearing them and I probably don't need so many holey clothes...maybe I should just pick my favorites.<BR/><BR/>frugalchick, maybe having so many clothes to choose from makes us feel rich. I would keep them all if I had the room.Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-6169615019213818732008-11-09T13:01:00.000-07:002008-11-09T13:01:00.000-07:00OMG I can *totally* relate. One time my sister ha...OMG I can *totally* relate. One time my sister had to literally pull clothes out of my arms and throw them into the bin when I was struggling to clean out my closet. Like jeans that didn't even come close to fitting anymore (I'm still hanging on to a few of my faves, with hope). And the comfy clothes! I get my mothers' handmedown PJs, and for some reason, I get way too attached to them. I've even had difficulty letting go of her old, worn out, ill-fitting, ripped white cotton camisoles, that I like to wear to bed. Can't believe I'm even admitting this... but it's true!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-68886511580071576542008-11-09T09:52:00.000-07:002008-11-09T09:52:00.000-07:00I also stuggle with letting go of clothes, even on...I also stuggle with letting go of clothes, even ones I don't particularly like or feel great in. I alsways think of the money I spent on them (even sometimes when it's only a few dollars), and then I want to find some way to wear them! Of course, they continue to only sit there. And if something gets a hole or rip in it, I'll still hold on to it. I'm not like this with any of my other possessions--I need to learn to just let go!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00875152884082759723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-79720966469227418292008-11-09T06:56:00.000-07:002008-11-09T06:56:00.000-07:00I think because of memories, the more tattered som...I think because of memories, the more tattered something is, the more attached I get to it. Then I rationalize that no one at the goodwill will buy it, and it will end up discarded if I donate it to them, so I end up hanging on to it. Then I start to feel stingy, which is no good, so I give away something in better shape that I think should sell. Clothes are complicated.Over the Cubicle Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842722161649016062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-13441839762803491472008-11-09T02:15:00.000-07:002008-11-09T02:15:00.000-07:00Hi there-LOL, I know what you mean! mind you, I do...Hi there-LOL, I know what you mean! mind you, I do edit my wardrobe quite regularly, but that said, I have a lot of 'nice' clothes still not been worn yet.
