What Did You Do with Your Clothes?

I have clothes.

I have a TON of clothes.

I've been bagging away clothes with tags still on them. You see, I'm a power shopper. If I see a style that I like and it's on sale, I'll buy the same shirt in several colors. Pitiful, I know  But since I've started to shed the weight, I primarily shop at Goodwill and Salvation Army. Crazy rich folks giving away Jones New York, DKNY and others with the tags still on them!!!! I kinda doubt I will ever pay retail again.

N-E-Wayyyssss.....

I'm letting the family pick what they want and the rest will be donated to charity. I believe it was Faith that recommended the place to me - they give your gently used work clothes to needy mothers going back to work.  I wish I could remember the name of the place.

So what are you going to do with your old clothes?

I have never paid full price for any piece of clothing. I am a Clearance/Sale rack *****


I always give away anything I no longer have use for clothes, furniture, etc.

Ditto on both. 

I use any conveinient drop off point for light stuff like clothes.  There are boxes at churches, gass stations and even the county dump. 

With furniture I call for pickup and once I had a stranger look in my open gararge and ask how much you want for that stuff.  I told them to take it away and they own it.

I donated mines to the Goodwill's.

After I got down to 8 and 10's
I was blessed in that I was giving some nice fashion up scale clothing from  two female  account executives that work in my office location !  
Saved me a ton of money.

Was it Dress for Success?

I gave away some of my clothes to family members and donated the rest a thrift store in my neighborhood.  I have a wonderful memory of one donation.  I was on my way inside the thrift store and I ran into this lady who looked to be about the size of the clothes I was about to donate.  I had some very  nice suits and professional separates that day.  I asked her if she was there to purchase clothes for herself and she said yes, so I told her she was welcome to pick out anything she wanted from the stuff I had.  She walked away with some free clothes and I walked away feeling soooooo good because I could see how much it meant to her!

I sold mine on Craigslist and Ebay, which helped me buy some smaller, cuter outfits! I'm lovin' Goodwill- most of the items I've purchased there are like new & designer! I'm going to try one more round of CL and E before I donate them to My Sisters Pantry, a local family charity up here.

It took me having WLS to understand I could have quality clothes without paying the high prices.  I gave all my clothes away -- from family to friends to neighbors and even co-workers.  It felt so good knowing someone could get use of them.  I still see them in some of my articles of clothing almost daily.  I have a sales junkie for sure.  My top out price for shoes (name brands) is 10.00 a pair.  Clothing about the same as well.
