Cleaning the Closet Part 4 - dresses

This is an ongoing war between me and the attempt to simplify my wardrobe. 

Todays battle was with skirts, dresses, and pajamas.

 

Confused? Yeah, you should be. Any and everything I've worn as pajamas for a few years now. 

Yes, indeed, those are penguin pants. Annnnd matching shorts. Yoga pants that are town out. 

Soccer shorts... and lets not talk about how old those are. (I played soccer in Jr High!)

HUUUGE polkadot pants. I could probably fit 4 of me in those. bahah.

This is what I ended up putting in the "give" pile.

 

Soffe shorts added. Tinkerbell pants. 

Things that adults probably shouldn't wear. ;-)

 

Left, short skirts. Middle, long skirts. Right, dresses.

That grey flower skirt? It's been in my closet since 9th grade. 2000. hahah.
The gold skirt is Simply Vera, vera wang. I love it. Loooove it. I need to find someone who can sew to shorten it for me though. It's a very awkward just-under-knee length. And shiny. Very shiny!

What I got rid of. Not much, but a start.
Denim skirt is too big. Zebra print, oy. Other things that just look bad, or don't fit.

My pile to giveaway keeps getting larger. I probably should finish this up soon, as the pile is in the dining room and someone will probably start to notice it soon. "Hunny, is there a reason why your closet now includes the dining room floor?" hmm... well...

Miss any updates?

Cleaning the Closet - Part 3 Bags and Belts

I made the decision to try to simplify my closet a bit.

Getting rid of anything that is too worn out, no longer fits, or that I haven't worn in over a year.

My first post didn't go so well.
I only ended up getting rid of 7 pairs of shoes. Out of... well... um...

Yeah

This time I went for all my belts, anything that ties, and purses.

I can't figure out if I did better, or worse on these ones.
That is everything.

This is what I ended up keeping. Honestly, ALL my scarves, because I do wear them. 

Whether its in the winter, or as belts, they get worn. 

What I decided to part with...

Don't just, that's 6 pieces!!!

And it ended up being seven. I took a belt off my jeans last night and it broke.

Maybe that one was a little past due? hehe.

 

The 'keep' pile of purses. I also have a bright purple Kathy purse not pictured, as well as a long pink fossil, and a short black xoxo bag. These are currently in use so they got left out.

The two I'm getting rid of. Lets face it, that green is NOT a very nice color, but matter how fun it is.

And that tiny pink and black one is, tiny. And stiff. Just not worth it.

Eh, maybe skirts and dresses will do better. I think that is next on my list. I have a feeling most of them that will be leaving will be because they no longer fit. The joy/agony of losing weight. ;-)

How long do you hold onto items before giving them the boot?

 Do you horde things in your closet or do you like less clutter?
