Just bundled up a bunch of clothes for consignment

I've spent the last week bringing summer clothes up from the basement, trying them on, sorting them by "consign", "donate", "toss", "give to friend" and "take to tailor" then ironing and mending as necessary.  Yesterday I took a big bundle to the consignment store and today I got through the last of the clothes and have an even larger pile ready to consign. 

I’m writing to share how emotionally satisfying this process was!  I’ve always like periodic purging of possessions; but this was especially satisfying for several reasons:

1)       I got rid of everything that didn’t fit perfectly (a few favorites will be tailored). I’d never even worn some of these garments. I bought them because they were “close enough" for a very large woman who did not have a lot of clothing options. 

2)       My willingness to get rid of this carefully accumulated hoard of plus size clothing was a great affirmation that I am indeed making profound changes in my life.

3)       I’m building up a big balance at the my favorite consignment store which will help finance my evolving wardrobe needs :)

That's great, Steph.  I've never done consignment.  I'll have to think about that.

That's wonderful!! It feels good to finally be getting rid of clothes that are too big for a change :)
