Apparently, PURGE has really helped us pare down the closet.
Recently, when I dropped off some stuff at Empty Tomb their sign said they officially be collecting fall and winter clothes on October 1st. That inspired me to take a look at our closet and see if there was any summer clothes that we wanted to get rid of before the end of September.
There was not much to give away! We are finally at a point where we are actually wearing almost all of the clothes in our closet on a regular basis. :)
Granted, I've been pregnant this summer, so there were several things that I didn't wear by virtue of that. Still, I found a couple tops that I was pretty sure I could part with for one of the following reasons:
1) It looked too "young." A mom of 3 should be wearing it. (#287 Black T-shirt with glittery turtle)2) It was cut to short. With my body changing, even at the same weight, I'm wider, so shorter tops are exposing my tummy. Not cool. (#288 Green T-shirt)
3) It hung too low. I hate bending over to reach something fearing that I'm exposing myself to the world. (#289 Creamy yellow short-sleeve shirt)
Bo got rid of #290 2 polyester v-neck T-shirts. He was convinced when I told him that there was dust on the exposed parts of the hangers because he hadn't worn them in so long. He also parted with #291 a slithery button down shirt, which I know he hasn't worn in a while. He said that sometimes when he picks the kids up, the slithery-ness makes the buttons undo themselves. Not like I have a problem with that...but others likely do ;)
Lastly the T-shirt on top is #292 Bean's famous manatee shirt. It's so hideous, but I convinced him it was cool by telling all my friends to compliment him on it. I got it from All Things Kids for 50 cents. It lasted the summer, but then the stuffed manatee that's sewn to the front (no, I'm not kidding) started falling off.
