I have a few pieces, a blue velvet pantsuit and a shiny evening gown come to mind.  I think if you have the closet space why not?  Luckily, I have a closet in an extra bedroom where I keep off-season clothing, so I have the space although my main closet is pretty packed.

I do make a point of discarding the same number of clothing items as I bring into the house now.  

I lost some weight, so I'm back in some suede pants and a suede skirt I never thought I would get into again.  The only problem is the pants are a bit high waisted for how I wear pants now, but as long as I don't wear a tucked in shirt nobody knows the difference.

I don't keep anything that I am positive I will never ever wear again.  Like my mob dress for daughter #2's wedding.  It was gorgeous and expensive and full of wonderful memories. I kept if for several years just to look at but it was just "stuff" clogging my closet.  I sold it for $100 to the friend of a friend who I didn't even know.  She wore it to her son's wedding which made me happy.  It deserved to be worn and seen.  I have some things that keep "just in case".  They are beautiful, timeless and some day there might be an occasion that calls for them. Right not, it's a couple of fancy tops and a dress.  Along those lines, I have broken the habit of keeping things "until I lose some weight".  That was really my downfall but I have broken that habit.  But, that's just me.  If you want to keep beautiful things are around you just because they are beautiful, there's nothing wrong with that.  I do that with jewelry.  Since I discovered ShopLC and their colored diamonds; I find that I buy rings I love them and they are beautiful and I love laying my jewelry out on my bed and looking at things.  Some of those things, I never wear.  They  just make me happy.

No, I don't do that at all.  If I haven't been wearing it and won't have an occasion to wear it, out it goes.

I have a beautiful soft leather belt that I wore 50years ago on my hips that I now wear on my waist.The belt has never aged and looks new still and has a very unique way to buckle it.I also have another belt that was painted in paisley and was very expensive but it really doesn’t fit my waist but there is always hope.

Now that you mention it, I do, a few things I wouldn’t wear but I associate with a special day but absolutely, a beautiful piece of clothing can be art to some of us.

I have a beautiful jacket hand-woven by an artist here in New Mexico.  It belonged to my mother so doesn't even fit me or any of the women in my family.  It's so beautiful that I can't stand the thought of putting it in the Goodwill bag.   It's unlikely I'll ever wear it.  It's a good memory.

No. If I haven't worn it for a couple of years then out it goes.

Yes, but only clothing and shoes meant to be worn for fancy events.  I no longer have casual, semi-dressy or business attire that I rarely wear.

Hi @GingerPeach 

One blouse that belonged to my Grandmother.  I've never worn it, but will never get rid of it.  Otherwise, I wear everything in my closet.  Fun thread.  Hope you are well, Homegirl.
