Late August is my timeline.  Takes me about a week.

Over the summer - I've been tossing / or donating stuff, and I haven't bought much new.

Hopefully, I'll be clearing out some things from my closet in late September or early October.  It stays warm here awhile too.

I hope to have enough space in one of our buildings to store some clothes that's just one size too large.  I can't get rid of because it's most of what I own.  I've lost weight, but will probably put some back on once my dental work is done.  However, I'm only leaning what I can currently wear in my closet when I do clear it out.

Lots of things I need to donate too though.😃❤️

Just to clarify I'm not swapping out clothes for the change in seasons. Way too early for that. My clothes for all 4 seasons are stored in the same closet and dressers anyway so there's no need. 

What I am doing is going through my closet and dressers deciding what stays and what goes for the future. 

Have a Good Evening!

I am a bit behind on this task....should have done it in March/April, but we were busy with other things.

I need to purge a lot of my white tees and tanks that have seen better days. I need to give away a few of the summer sweaters that I just don't wear anymore. Part of it is due to losing weight, but also some of these are in the "what was I thinking" category.

I like the idea of going thru my sock AND underwear drawer and tossing the old, I wouldn't want to be seen in the ER wearing these.

Mid September I will do a big closet purge. I don't need much, but I do need to quit hanging on to my favorite LDO items that are 2 sizes too big, etc., etc. /

I think the "one year" rule is a good one to follow. If I haven't worn something in a year, I doubt I will ever wear it. 

Thanks for the reminder about throwing out old socks. I need to go through that drawer. 

Have a Good Day!

A sister-in-law who has a lot more money and buys nothing but high-end designer clothes wears last year's clothes for everyday this year and buys new clothes for this year.  I wish I could do that but my budget does not allow that. She says she never keeps anything more than 2 years.  She also has a difficult foot to fit so her shoes are very hard to find and she has to go to Saks, Neiman_Marcus, etc., for that.  I don't know if she really does or that is what she tells husband so she gets great shoes.  One day I will tell you about her tennis bracelet. It's not an ordinary tennis bracelet.

I wear plain classic clothes.  I could never ever get rid of things because they are a year old.  Age doesn't influence what I keep or toss.  If I like it, might wear it, I keep it.

I have clothes I actually wear out and hate to part with.  Some no longer fit, some I don't like.  But age doesn't matter to me.

After two moves in the span of a year, I have no plans to toss anything from my closet in the near future!  Everything fits me

I've been working on my closet, I don't even want to admit how long its been since I did it last!

I never understood why people get rid of clothes they haven't worn for a year.  Maybe they buy fast fashion throwaway clothes that just wear out or go out of style quickly.  I (in most cases) buy mostly classic quality clothes that last and still look good for years that I still like and wear. I especially have leather and denim jackets and jeans, just to mention a few types of clothing, I have had for years that still look great.  

Yes I do donate clothes that no longer fit or I just no longer wear, but rarely pieces that I haven't worn for just one year.

I understand what you're saying. Sounds like you do a great job buying only things you love, want to keep, and will wear. 

Sometimes I buy an item that seemed like a good idea at the time, but I probably shouldn't have bought. So it sits in my closet and doesn't get worn. Those are the pieces I get rid of if I haven't worn them the past year. If I have no intention of wearing it, out it goes. I have a very small closet so I don't have room to keep things I'm not going to wear.

Enjoy the Weekend!
