Undersized jerseys, pants, sweaters, t-shirts, and even fancy socks that I no longer need,all going out by way of donations tomorrow, care of the diabetes people. A few shorts, and other such items all ready to fly off my shelves, hangers, and drawers because most of it is stuff I have a.) never worn, or b.) have not worn in the last decade, or c.) can no longer wear because I have gained too much weight and medium shirts & sweaters are not going to fit, and there is zero chance I can wear a size 30 through 33 waist pants unless my life totally falls apart unexpectedly. My 205lb life can’t do anything less than a 34 W at best. More like 35’s and 36’s at this point. I had kept some pants as an aspirational goal, but it seems more and more unlikely given hard hard I have to work to drop 8-10 pounds over the course of a month, versus gaining it back with an over indulgent week of vacation. Going to need a lifestyle change at this point.
Getting rid of unneeded clothes is for the best. Someone else might get the benefit from it, that me hoarding stuff in the closet isn’t going to accomplish. Best of luck to you! Four bags full! Yowza. Who’d a thunk we still had that much left in our closets. I certainly didn’t think I still had that many articles left over. Turns out I collect t-shirts and sweaters like they are going out of style. Just don’t check my drawers at the cottage because you’ll find a dresser full of even more I just couldn’t bear to get rid of. I could wear a T-shirt a day and go a month before I had to wash a t-shirt up north. Ha! Now I have at least five pairs of pants, and at least three sweaters. I’m golden. Add in the frayed boxers I snuck up there along with some warm socks and I have an entire wardrobe of old, musty, cottage core clothes. If I had any old Campus Crew sweaters I’d fit right in, like I knew what I was doing!
I’m channeling Marie Kondo more and more as of late. Still have a long way to go in this basement alone! Yikes. Two steps forward, and one step back it feels like. I had a massive CD purge last year where I got rid of 75-100 universal label artists’CDs that were unopened, but the jewel case had been intentionally damaged by the label. They could go out as freebies or swag, but weren’t fit for resale. That sort of thing. I also finally broke down and got rid of some brewery branded gear I received from an old job 10-15 years ago. Has taken its sweet time to finally come around to be able to let that stuff go. Nostalgia has kept a hard hold on my shelf space, and closet. I’m looking long and hard at getting rid of the beer signage I have been holding on to since 2008. I can’t really show it in my portfolio due to the size, and some of it being die cut means it is an irregular shape. If I had made the garage a bar instead of a wood shop it would go great in there! Beer related, and all that you know.
Hope your Saturday has been as productive,or relaxing as you’d hoped it would be.
