Paring down–clothes

I started paring down my clothes tonight–this was the easy part as I was essentially cutting all of the “fat” out of my wardrobe. Anything that was damaged, worn out or otherwise unsalvagable went in the trash. Everything that I hadn’t worn in at least a year, stuff that didn’t fit, and stuff I just didn’t like any more went into bags to take to the thrift store. A few things were set aside to possibly sell on Ebay later–assuming that I determine that the pain in the ass of dealing with it is worth the paltry sum I’ll make. Otherwise they’ll go to the thrift store as well….I also saved a well worn pair of flannel PJ pants which I’ll rip up and use to clean my laptop screen.

Sum total was about eight bags of clothing–two in the trash and six for the thrift store. And this was without any thought whatsoever–it was all stuff that for one reason or another I knew I’d never wear again. I’m still nowhere near my goal of getting one of my two closets completely emptied out but at least I made a dent in it tonight.
