Saying goodbye forever to old friends..

Does anyone else hang on to much loved old clothes?

I have jumpers dating back over ten years, they are now so thin you can see through them but even so I am so reluctant to let them go

Today I cleared out my wardrobe and there was much taking out/putting back/taking out again as I finally said goodbye to a number of old friends.

Then there are the clothes which don't quite fit anymore but you are sure will fit just fine again one day, but they never do. I find it so hard to let them go.

I am the same, I still have some clothes from the 60's, I couldn't even fit into them now!

You've reminded me...I really need to go thru and throw out or give to charity some things I never wear anymore. And OLD ...I was just recently wearing a tee shirt from the '87 AIDS Walk!!!

I'm fairly ruthless about throwing things out. Just hanging on to a few favourites.

I won't throw anything out until I have more or less worn them out! I never hang onto anything like clothes, shoes etc. etc. Just replace things when they begin to start looking well worn.
