Mourning My Beautiful Clothes

[101driver 46]

I just last weekend did this, too. My closet is bare - literally. I've been going to the thrift store to find things to hold me over until I bite the bullet and shop for my new wardrobe. But it was sad..and happy!...putting on all my old favorites and seeing that there was just no saving any of them. I had thought I might be able to alter sides/waists, but no go. I've just photographed and desribed 32 pieces (mostly dresses but some skirts, suits and pants, too) that I'm going to put on ebay. I remember how hard it was to find quality, non- muu muu clothing in sizes 22-28, so I'm thinking that someone out there may be able to use the stuff. A bare closest is a great problem to have, really!!

O boy do I know the feeling! We had a yard sale this past weekend with all the proceeds going to JDRF (my 9 yr old granddaughter is type 1 and wears a pump) and I sold every bit of the clothes that I could wear 4 months and 83 lbs ago. It was kinda sad to see all of those clothes go, I bought from Catherine's, Lane Bryant and Cato, but we made $597.00 for JDRF and my clothes were a big part of that, so it made me feel a little better.
