You'll enjoy the extra space in your closet and make room for some new things. You are inspiring me to take my next bag of clothes to our women's shelter thrift store. I drove past it for the first time in ages the other day, but they were closed. I'm not sure if yours sells the clothes to raise money for their operation, or suits the women like DFS, but either way, you've done a wonderful thing.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-today-1#post-909076 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:06:52 +0000 Anonymous 909076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thats a great Idea to donate to where they will be so much appreciated. You feel the benifit of giving and a clear closet. Well done. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-today-1#post-909074 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:01:00 +0000 Raisin 909074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Those are nice pieces, someone will be very happy to get them! &nbsp;Great for you and someone else! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-today-1#post-908946 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 03:28:44 +0000 Jaime 908946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a wonderful place to donate your nice things. And they are beautiful items -good for you for letting them go! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-today-1#post-908945 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 03:28:24 +0000 Debbie 908945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon who ever receives these items will have their day brighten a little.<br /> I had to laugh at the purse comment. My husband told asked me tonight just how many I had. I told him it might be best that he didn't know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-today-1#post-908938 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 03:23:46 +0000 TraceyLiz65 908938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great use of you day and what a generous act of kindess! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-today-1#post-908935 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 03:21:30 +0000 Transcona Shannon 908935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Deb - you know, I'm not sure. I started out by realizing I simply had too many bags. Once I got those packed up to go, I realized it felt really good to remove items that are getting used. I have actually taken two full bags of clothes to the shelter in the last two weeks. I think there may be a bit of shift taking place in what I'm wanting from a wardrobe. I don't think I could ever be a true minimalist in terms of wardrobe size - I like variety. But I don't think I need as much variety as I have in the past. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-today-1#post-908835 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 01:16:19 +0000 Deborah 908835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shannon good for you. &nbsp; I feel very strongly about 'recycling' clothing. &nbsp;And it isa &nbsp;wonderful way to bless those whose circumstances are different to our own. &nbsp; &nbsp;For a women to receive one of your beautiful things would be such an exciting and uplifting thing.<br /><br />So may I ask, if this just a clean out, or are you experiencing the desire to minimize your closet? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-today-1#post-908827 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 01:09:58 +0000 Angie 908827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I LOVE seeing people edit their closets and pass items along to their next happy home. Good job, Shannon.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-today-1#post-908826 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 01:05:45 +0000 Day Vies 908826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yay!

You are such a wonderful person for sharing your closet in this way. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-today-1#post-908812 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 00:55:32 +0000 Thistle 908812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing thing to do Shannon. Good for you and others. Way to pay it forward. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-today-1#post-908789 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 00:20:53 +0000 rae 908789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great thing to do! The DFS person in me is applauding you - we were always short on bags for our gals. The women at the battered women's shelter will likely need the same things to help start new lives.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-today-1#post-908738 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 23:02:29 +0000 Caro in Oz 908738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love it Shannon:) I worked in a shelter years ago &amp; yes many of these women have to start from nothing - it's so sad. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-today-1#post-908714 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 22:29:00 +0000 Anonymous 908714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Total win-win situation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-today-1#post-908703 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 22:15:22 +0000 Lyn D. 908703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Good Work Shannon!<br />It is a win-win situation- much better than having unworn stuff taking up valuable space, and how grateful the new owners will be. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-today-1#post-908694 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 22:04:58 +0000 Nicole D 908694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Good job and nice gesture. &nbsp;I guess you are over polka dots! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-today-1#post-908690 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 21:55:06 +0000 Suz 908690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Good for you, Shannon! You are right. These things will be appreciated, and out with the old, in with the new for you!&nbsp;<br /><br />ETA: This is one reason I offer things for consignment. If they are not purchased, they go to a women's shelter and part of the proceeds of purchase go to the same centre.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-today-1#post-908681 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 21:45:28 +0000 nancylee 908681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Such beautiful pieces, Shannon, and such a kind and generous act. The women who receive these lovely items will truly appreciate them. &nbsp;<br /><br />Way to pay it forward! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-today-1#post-908678 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 21:38:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 908678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So what does a gal do on a day off work when the weather is positively crappy? She cleans her closet!<br /><br />Below are the items I'm donating to my local battered women's shelter. I've decided from this point on when I'm purging or donating something, rather then sending it to Goodwill or Value Village, I'm giving it to the shelter. These women often leave their homes in the middle of the night with nothing but what they're wearing and then once some recovery has taken place, need to re-enter the workforce. I figure they need it most.<br /><br />The two pairs of shoes have heels that my wonky knee will no longer handle, the purses (although lovely) are not ones I'm reaching for and frankly I'm out of purse space (I admit I have a problem - lol!), the Gap leather drapey jacket drives me nuts and has a high "fuss factor" which I'm no longer willing to put up with, and the striped top makes me feel like a blob.<br /><br />I'm really going to work on cleaning out my closet and only keeping the items I&nbsp;<i>want</i> to wear and use.&nbsp;
