I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Every few years my SIL attacks my closet and gets rid of everything I haven't worn in the last year. It is traumatic, but necessary or I would still have every piece of clothing that from 1986 on.

This is my dream job.

Wanna come over and attack my closet? I'll feed you Italian food....

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Back in 2001, when I moved from my studio into my first 1BR apartment, I did my first major purge of my closet. I got rid of clothes I hadn't worn in over ten years, many of which were worn-looking/stained/otherwise unwearable and went into the garbage as a result. Actually, I ended up filling an entire dumpster with the stuff I cleaned out of my closet.

Walk-in closets can be dangerous because they let you keep waaaay too much stuff you don't need.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

I love this mental picture. I think of your SIL in fashion camo, armed with scissors and a measuring tape.

She is ruthless. It doesn't matter how much I paid for it or that it will fit if I just lose 5 more pounds... It all goes.

You really shouldn't say things you don't mean.

Dude, I mean it. Of course, the Italian food will probably be accompanied by Fernet....

So, what you're saying is that there really is no downside?

I have outfits that I only WEAR once a year, so I'm not a big believer in if you haven't worn it in a year, get rid of it. I much prefer the try everything on with everything else and see if you can make new combinations wardrobe sorting method.

Ruth away, though we may need to get JZ in on it, too. Which would be a tragedy, you know - all of us hanging out and stuff. Woes.

However, I reserve the right to keep my more formal stuff that only gets let out on special occasions. But anything that's in poor condition/ill-fitting/not that special? Can go.
