I've lost some weight, so I need to clean out my closet, but I'm still holding on to the bigger clothing and buying more. 
For example, here's our spare room.
I have no idea what's in most of the boxes. Probably shoes and handbags.
I'm going to bring it up with my t next week, but I just wanted to find out if y'all had any suggestions. |
When you mention, buying more clothes, I am presuming, in your new smaller size? I've had weight struggles in the past. I say, a couple pieces 2 sizes up, for 1 year, and about a weeks worth of outfits, 1 size up, hold onto for about a year, until you know the weight is staying off, then you can figure out what to do from there.
Shoes and handbags. There is consignment that will gladly take many items, and then you can receive credits for merchandise or cash back. ((credits could be good, where you are losing weight and may need more clothes to have a couple weeks worth of outfits, or whatnot?))
If it would give you a feel good, feeling, donations to charities. I like, the donation bin, at my local church, because I know exactly where the items are going, even have been there, and know the people that go there, and it's truly a blessing for those less fortunate to be able to get such items.
One idea, could be, certain types of items, allowing your husband or another family member to go through stuff.
When I look at the picture, I see something that looks very overwhelming. Even, if you can't part with most stuff, some type of an organization system, could work wonders. And Labels are great, too!! In this box, shoes, this box, handbags, this box trinkets, etc.
