And as a recovering addict who once had to rely on services like "Dress for Success", huge THANK YOU for donating to an organization that helps empower women &lt;3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/featherwitchs-closet-edit#post-1962410 Sun, 07 Oct 2018 17:19:13 +0000 Suz 1962410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent start, and I like that you are donating your clothes to a good cause. I agree with Joy, you will gain confidence as you continue to lose weight and at some point you'll be ready to let go of all the items that don't fit. But it can be expensive and difficult to replace an entire wardrobe and takes time. It took me at least 3 years following weight loss.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/featherwitchs-closet-edit#post-1962350 Sun, 07 Oct 2018 12:36:18 +0000 kkards 1962350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>nice....just looked up dress for sucess here to see if they are taking donations...and not only are they looking for office clothing, my size was called out as a bigger need...thanks for the reminder of that great organization </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/featherwitchs-closet-edit#post-1962333 Sun, 07 Oct 2018 12:11:48 +0000 Cardiff girl 1962333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done.l really wish that I had a dress for success near me.It always makes letting go easier if you feel it’s going to do some good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/featherwitchs-closet-edit#post-1962299 Sun, 07 Oct 2018 08:28:41 +0000 Sal 1962299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done!!

This post makes me happy. At some point you will pass on those clothes you loved that are now too big. I found that they became dated or my style preferences had moved away from them. Do it sooner than later so someone else will enjoy them while they look good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/featherwitchs-closet-edit#post-1962277 Sun, 07 Oct 2018 03:40:28 +0000 bridgie 1962277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>featherwitch, I like your no non-sense approach.&nbsp; That is such a good idea to donate to dress for success.&nbsp; I am sure donations such as yours have made a big change for the better&nbsp;in a lot of women's life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/featherwitchs-closet-edit#post-1962268 Sun, 07 Oct 2018 02:58:31 +0000 featherwitch 1962268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been editing my closet on and off since July. I started losing weight about then, so it's required a continuous edit as things don't fit anymore, and a few quality items that I kept from 8+ years ago come back into rotation.&nbsp;</p> <p>I sent a big batch of stuff to Goodwill and Dress for Success late in the summer, and have been putting everything that is in good wearable condition into a holding zone since then.&nbsp;</p> <p>Today I sorted through my jeans. I did keep three pairs of barely worn ones that I love, but are now too big. I am hoping I don't have to wear them again! But 8 pair went to Goodwill this morning: 5 blue, 2 black, and 1 white.&nbsp;</p> <p>A bunch of workout wear, golf attire, and summer shorts also came out of my closet. I tossed a much-hated bridesmaid dress with an empire waist that I for some reason kept for 5 years.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Dress for Success stash in the closet is now 8 tops, 2 blazers, and 4 pairs of pants. DFS is only open twice a month for donations, so I am dropping them off next week. Many of these were purchased earlier this year, and while the size is an issue, some of them were also purchasing mistakes that I only wore a few times before deciding I didn't like them.</p> <p>Three pairs of shoes that are no longer comfortable and/or no longer fit my needs are also in the "pass on" pile.&nbsp;</p>
