do you find......

No I m the complete opposite I put a different set on every day I like things casual but a bit different to run of the mill so charity shop buying is my bag and means I can have a lot more stuff too

When my Mum died, I gave her evening dresses to our local Amdram group.

Now I don't go out quite so much I wear nicer things at home - see no point at all in having stuff in cupboards that I never wear. I don't mean dressing up to the nines, or my best t-shirt for decorating, but once something starts to look a bit grubby or tatty it goes in the bin. Most things I've got are quite old anyway, but not worn much. The only thing I've bought in three years is a couple of pairs of flat shoes and a long waterproof coat to replace worn out ones. And a few undies.

JackyB if your clothes are stained why are you keeping them - surely you wouldn't even want to wear them around the house - get rid of them

I wear them under jumpers in the winter for an extra layer

Riggie

*I don't know whether to keep them or demote them to cleaning rags. You can't give them away.*

Actually you can, *JackyB". Many charity shops will take rags as they sell them on. They can be processed and are then used for things like mattress fillings.
Maybe ask at your local and bag them up separately so they don't have to sort them.

Yes, well, as I have said before, we don't have charity shops in Germany. It's hard to get rid of anything.

I have loads of clothes, many of which are for when I lose weight! I really wish that I could go to bed and someone would sort all my clothes out and leave me with a capsule wardrobe.

Change anything next to skin daily but top clothes remain same for a few days depending on what messy jobs I've been indulging in.

Having spent most of the past 18 months in leggings and denims I have resolved to buy some casual skirts and dresses that can be worn with loafers and ankle boots.

I’ve just had massive clear out - 8 black bags took to cash for clothes got £20! And further 3 bags to Salvation Army. I’ve kept quite a lot as I’m doing well on Mediterranean diet, but it’s put away for now. My reasons for keeping - have I worn in last 2 years, is it in good condition, would I buy it now?

Also cleared out bedding towels etc, feels really good knowing everything in its place etc, and it is needed not just keeping stuff for sake of it!

During lockdown I worked my way through all my clothes, wearing then washing them and sorting out some for the charity shop.
The postman must have wondered when I answered the door in evening wear.
Although I have favourite outfits I try to make a point of wearing different clothes every day. Why have them if you don’t wear them?

I do the turn the hanger round routine and check my wardrobe after 6 months anything not worn goes to the charity shops or sold on market place.l also have alternate months where l make an effort not to buy anything clothes wise since lockdown lifted have saved a fortune.

Last year we ended up getting stuck in Australia at DDs as their winter approached! I had lots of summer things with me so had to buy warmer clothes there. Luckily my new summer dresses came out here in UK when we got back in June! Now I'm back into my Oz clothes which must be feeling dizzy !!

I'm the polar opposite! I wear different outfit every day without fail! I used to have to be really smart for work and habit has continued to a degree. Sometimes I wear full warpaint too, only if I'm not grubbing about in garden or doing housework. I think it's a positive to make the effort as I've seen with my in-laws and others how 'letting go' with grooming and clothes can lead to a bit of a rock bottom in kind too.its been so easy not to bother during lockdown but I'm determined not to end up like so many of our generation who look so I kept and boring it's depressing. We are I think among the scruffiest nation and I think it's a same that we sometimes look and sound as if we're embarrassed to look good, like a kind of inverted snobbery. You rarely catch European laydeez looking like at ladies when out and about!

#look unkempt
#looking like bag ladies
Aaargh! Spellcheck

I always make the effort when I go out, even if just to the shops or the Post Office, as I feel I should. Otherwise I look very sloppy and scruffy at home in jogging bottoms and a sweatshirt as I am often gardening, messing about with the dogs, and like many posters I haven't worn anything really 'posh' since lockdown began. I too intend to have a thorough sort out and get rid of clothes that haven't been worn for a lot more than two years.

I was a clothes shopaholic. I don’t wear half of what I buy. I’m retired so don’t need many clothes. My plan was to sell on eBay, give to charity, throw away etc but due to a badly broken ankle, rain has stopped play. My sister and I were going to do a boot sale but lockdown stopped that. Now the boot sales are restarting, we’re coming into winter. Frustrating. Just wish someone like on TV would come in and buy or take the whole lot as I’m in a one bed bungalow and haven’t got the space. My son’s 2nd bedroom has loads of my stuff too as I couldn’t afford storage fees anymore.
