To paraphrase Johnny Cochran, “If it does not fit, you must get rid of it.”<\/p>\n

I own more clothes that I don’t wear than some people own at all. I have an entire closet full of clothes and yet I have trouble finding things to work on a daily basis. Out of boredom and frustration, I grabbed a couple of Hefty trash bags last night and began cleaning out the closet. Anything that met any of the following criteria was evicted:<\/p>\n

– Things I haven’t worn in more than a year.
\n– Things that haven’t fit in more than a year.
\n– Things that I can’t remember buying or owning.
\n– Things that, even if they did fit, I still wouldn’t wear.
\n– Things that went out of style more than 5 years ago.
\n– Things with holes that I was hanging on to.<\/p>\n

By the time I was done I had two Hefty bags filled with clothes. They’re going straight to Goodwill today. I’m not going to deal with selling them at a garage sale and having people haggle with me over $1 price tags or risk negative eBay feedback because a 3x shirt fits like a 2x or something. The close are bagged up and as far as I’m concerned, are gone.<\/p>\n

Obviously, what remains in the closet are things that fit and things that I wear. Unfortunately the vast majority of our laundry at the moment is dirty; we’re way behind on that front and having trouble catching up. With most of my clothes in hampers, dirty clothes piles or laundry baskets, it’s kind of hard to actually see just what I do have available to wear. <\/p>\n

On a semi-related topic, I have really slid downhill with my work wardrobe. The last few times I’ve been clothes shopping I’ve been temped by brand new t-shirts. Those red, blue, and black t-shirts always look great in the store, all folded and clean. It’s not until I’m getting ready for work the next day that I realize all my new clothes are t-shirts and blue jeans. It’s not something I really think about until I look around at work and see everybody else in button-down shirts and khakis. The next time I go clothes shopping I’m going to make an effort to pick out some polos, button-down shirts and khakis in an attempt to raise the bar back up ever-so-slightly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
