Do you know anyone who sews? Perhaps you could have your old t-shirts and uniforms made into a blanket or wall hanging of some sort. My mother quilts and I’m going to give her my favorite of my son’s onesies to make into a quilt for him (well, for me, really).

The clothes I’m most having trouble letting go are my old Paramedic uniforms and my deceased Uncles T-Shirts that I grabbed.

The Uniforms remind me that I once “Rocked” and to get rid of them would be another nail in the coffin of my dream. Actually that reminds me. One job that I attended as an Ambo there we assisted a Paraplegic. In his room there were numerous Police Uniforms and paraphernalia with photo’s of him in action. We didn’t ask but I dare say he to had trouble letting go of dreams. Saying that we have different reasons for not being able to chase them :-(

As for my Uncles T-shirts (that I grabbed). I may just start wearing them until they wear out.

The rest of my clothes were easy to get rid of. Well, the clothes that I never wore were easy. The clothes I do wear I kept :-)

For sure! I mean, what if you decide to dress up as a punk rocker for halloween and you’ve thrown out your ripped yellow tights?

This is the trouble I have…the “oh but I could use this for x…” And of course I hardly ever do.

I tried to be ruthless with my last round of decluttering and got rid of a lamp that we weren’t using…then I had to buy a new one because it turns out I needed it after all. I hate when that happens.

I Keep My CLothes , set for work, set for everyday. winter, summer. They can be expensive to rebuy. I hang on to them due to the fact money is tight now and worried about not being able to buy them. I get rid of the ones with holes or stains.

I agree… Clothes are very hard to get rid of. I did a great job of purging a lot of older clothes not too long ago at a clothing swap (and only took home 2 things for painting-wear), but ended up stocking up again the next sale at Banana Republic! The replacements are still fewer and nicer, but a lot is not necessary (how many wasp-waisted garden dresses does a girl need?). I need to purge again, if only to prepare for a trip to NYC, and the beautiful racks of Barney’s

I think at a certain point… I just need a closet that is professionally organized. And the sizer of my entire bedroom. Then it will look minimalist because there is more space ;)
