how often do you clean out your closet?

[spokes]

i decided that this weekend i would cull the herd so to speak and clean out my closet - i will be donating about 6 pairs of pants, and about 8 shirts and a bunch of pairs of socks. most of the stuff i purged was office wear......

of course this cuilling of the herd also means that i get to go and do some shopping......

I cleaned out my closet yesterday. I have one Trader Joe's bag filled with lots of shirts and some capris that I don't wear anymore.

I also threw out several pairs of flip flops and sandals. Stuff like that unfortunately you can only get one summer out of.

I have gotten much better since I moved about keeping my closet neat. I also have cut back on buying clothing. I think living with the guy keeps me in check in that area now. I think in the past, I'd go shopping a lot out of boredom. I don't have time for that really anymore, and it's good to be around someone a lot who can remind you when your shopping habit is getting problematic ;).

Once every 4-5 months, when my friends and I have our Naked Lady Party. :)

Although since I've lost weight I have a ton more clothes that fit me now and I don't need to get rid of them! :huge:

Once every six months or so. I feel extremely liberated after. Previously I used to be huistant about throwing stuff out. But now I am like "out of sight out of mind". Espesially if you havent worn something in two years.

Usually twice a year (before fall and before spring). I've been selling a bunch of stuff on eBay.

my friends and I have our Naked Lady Party. :)


man, i used to thikn that there ain't no party like a west-side party, but a naked lady party sounds like the shiznit (most parties i have been too usually wind up as a sausage-fest).

Oh Carol, look! A thread just for you! And Coll--how did Spokes know we'd be talking about this tonight? LOLOLOL

I cleaned out my closet and dressers about a month ago, and filled FIVE black trash bags (yeah the big Hefty ones). I got rid of SO much, one of my dressers is empty. I decided to get rid of everything that doesn't fit--too big or too small--and everything that was old and/or I hadn't worn in awhile. What a difference that made! Getting dressed in the morning is SO much easier now.

I tend to do it once a year. Since I'm moving out soon, I'll have to do it again and take it seriously. Every time I find a shirt that I wouldn't wear outside my apartment, I think "Hey, more pajamas!" :razz: Apparently, I have two to three drawers full of these clothes.

Rarely. My supply of clothes is kinda limited, so I can't really justify getting rid of what I've got.

Two to three times a year. It's usually right around when the season changes. Anything that has been in my closet for more than a year or two and I haven't worn it goes to Goodwill.

Not often enough...I still have far more than I ought to have. Generally, a few time a year, when it really starts to bother me.
