My Steampunk gear gets an outing a couple of times a year.
I have some clothes I bought in a sale last year but it hasn't been the right weather for them.
I have an excuse for keeping everything, even old knickers!
Old knickers make very good dusters, as well as old underpants.

Have you got things you have never worn, yet still keep?

You are a good girl then Tabs. Very organised.

I do try and I put stuff outside in black bin bags or boxes .
Then it has to make its way to the car and from thence to the charity shop .
It's a long process.

Re: Unworn Clothes
I have this wicked skirt in soft leather with fringes a la Pocahontas that I have never worn (but I will one day when I get more mini -ha ha )Meanwhile
Despite too many other clothes it's so darn cold here I only wear my ski jacket and boots ( with suitable themals and jeans and jumpers underneath of course!)
Topped off with fake fur headband which I wear daily despite the fact it's keeps falling off and people think it's a dead animal .

Re: Unworn Clothes
This thread started me to thinking about Imelda Marcos, Tammy Faye Bakker and the likes. Imelda supposedly have over 3,000 pairs of shoes, and Tammy Faye had to add on to the house to store her purchases, pillows, dresses, shoes, etc. most unused and with tags still on. I admit, I buy most of my clothes at the thrift shop and have a bad habit of observing things. The thrift shops (second hand stores) always seem to have only about 20 pairs of men's shoes to about every 800 of women's. Just to ensure that I do not get into too much trouble with women remarks, I do know of men who will spend massive money on a vintage Corvette, push it into the corner of the garage or shed, and leave it there unused for 30 years (of course that is an investment in anticipating the increase in collector value).
