'Lessons'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I am ruthless about my own stuff. I moved around a lot growing up and got used to the regularly scheduled purging of stuff.
And, in the apartment before this one (I've only lived here about 9 months), I only had 1 smallish closet and 1 extremely small closet in a pretty small apartment (not Trudy's NYC apt, but still only 475sf). I got used to purging on a regular basis and being very selective about what I brought in to the space.
I'm about to do a purge. I've had my summer clothes out long enough now to have a feel for what will get worn and what won't. I tend to wear more than most though, hating to re-wear something in a 3 week period or so.
I have a huuuuuge closet for clothes.
My strategy is not to buy new hangers. When new clothes are bought, old clothes have to leave. FIFO, generally.

I did a purge the last time I moved and took everything in to the theatre. As a costume-type person, I really hate to get rid of anything that I might need for a costumes, but I ended up taking about 30 trash bags full of clothes that were too small for me (I have ranged in size, since 2000 , from a 4 petite to a 20 petite). I have actually pretty much held at an 18/20 for about 4 years, but I went from the 4 to a 14 in about a year, which was a little freaky.
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.

I'm glad to see so many are being given a chance and are thriving.

See? Tragedy.

This is now my strategy with books.
