So, I've had it with my closet and need suggestions for dealing with clothes. Targeting surgery for Aug / Sept. I'm not worried about having nothing to wear, because I have complete wardrobes in sizes 12 - 22. I even have one pair of jeans in a size 10, with tags still on, from my best weight loss effort many years ago. Even if Calvin Klein is out of style (is it?), I'm still going to wear them just because! All the clothes I do wear won't fit into my closet, because it's full of clothes that are way too small. I was thinking about pulling everything out an putting into tubs by size. Then, as I lose weight, I could donate one size and pull out the tub with the next. Good idea? Other suggestions?

Great idea.

I hit Goodwill about every three weeks. I donate loose clothes and buy new ones that fit. Nothing in my closet from the old days anymore.

It's really interesting with the changes in style and vanity sizes over the years. Here is what I did. First if I did not love it, it was donated right away. Next, I wear jeans almost every day, but each pair was different in fit, I admit, I just donated all except one pair in each size. Some I never wore because I passed right by that size. I kept all of my polo t shirts, another item I wear almost every day, because Tshirts material is very forgiving when it come to stretch. Whatever next seasons (coats) - you likely will only need one, get rid of the rest. You are probably getting my drift by now. Get rid of everything except for two or three like items and sizes. Once you loose your weight, you are going to want new small great looking clothes because there are going to be choices you have never had before. I would clean the closet out to zero, even shoes, because believe it, your shoe size is going to change. Have a great yard sale, include purses and accessories, display as best you can, then save the money for new items. I literally had thousands of dollars of clothes in fab condition, mostly designer lable. This maximized my return. Facebook is a good idea for photo and selling items, it's just going to take a little time to do pictures and set up delivery & payment. 99% of my closet was empty, but it was so freeing! A new me deserved new clothing in great colors that fit my new body, because man does it change! There were some items that were new with tags that I was able to donate to a club for silent auction that was very satisfying as well. If you can make three piles keep, donate, sell, only look at it for less than a minute and decide. If you had great memories attached to it-take a picture of it. I look at closet space like real estate- it is high dollar limited space, only so much can go in, only keep or buy it because you love it, not because it was a good price. Good luck, have fun with your new dress up fashion show!!
