dianthus this, but she didn't have an answer other than "keep everything". And she still doesn't have internet access.
Anyhow... do y'all have any kind of useful formula as to when to keep and when to give away clothing that doesn't fit anymore?
I was big into the futility of keeping clothing that was too small, as I saw it as a kind of masochism, so I only kept a few particularly nice things or things of great sentimental value. Now, of course, much of that all is fitting again, and in some cases I'm kind of regretting what I'd gotten rid of... though not much, I don't think.
It was kind of a shock to realize my favorite jacket I haven't been able to wear in years now fits, but is hopelessly dated. Ah, well.
But I have much more cool clothing that doesn't fit me now... I'm kind of thinking of hosting a party. Hey, if things really go right, maybe someone will bring their old clothes that don't fit and I'll score...!
Especially for the leather and the lingerie. I mean, a lot of this stuff is crying to be worn. (And some, like my ex-favorite bustier, I managed to both grown and shrink out of at the same time. Weh.)
