My closet, here we go -- Downsizing Step 4



I finally took the courage to face my closet.  It took half a day to go through because I had to try out everything!  Now that I have lost weight I am not too sure of my size but this exercise proved that I am back to the size I used to be "most recently".   However,  because the sky is the limit,  I saved a couple of  aspirational items (a size smaller) to see if I can fit in at a later date -- not a good downsizing decision but a great motivational decision!

Some items are hard to give away because of the cost although any good accountant would say - the heck with the sunk costs!   Nevertheless, I have a pair of nice Brazilian leather pants (too small) and an Austrian wool jacket (too big) that should have some residual value.    Would a concession store work? I have never used one though I know there's one in town.




So 3 giant trash bags of clothes & a box of recyclable hangers to give away later,  the closet still looks full!   How is that possible?

    1. Thanks for the tip. I give most of my clothes/shoes donations to our cleaning lady who ships it to her family in Brazil.
