I kept track of the number of items tossed, and I managed to meet my goal of cleaning out 1/3. Final count of all of the clothes I own (except socks) came to 320. (You can see why I needed to purge.) I am keeping 213, donating 90 to Goodwill, and bringing 17 to a consignment store. Here are some pictures to illustrate the process.

Before t-shirt dresser (yes, the ENTIRE dresser is full of t-shirts):

This is a bridesmaids dress that I wore to my friend Erica's wedding. She got married years and years ago (maybe 8 years? Actually I think it was more like 9). Anyway, I decided that it was finally time to let it go, but realized that I didn't have any pictures of myself in it, so I decided to take some. Frankly, I'm pretty impressed that I could still squeeze into it. (Face is cut off cause I had a goofy expression.)
Two big bags of clothes headed out the door!

So, my clothes finally have a bit of breathing room. And I got rid of quite a few things that I should have tossed a long time ago. I have no idea how I managed to amass so many clothes, but I really very rarely get rid of anything, so it was past time for this.
Next goal to be accomplished will probably be #27 - Read Something by the Marquis de Sade. Fortunately, my friend Libby loaned me a copy of The 120 Days of Sodom, so I didn't have to check it out at the library or anything. I've read about 50 pages and it's already disturbing. Apparently there's also a movie, so if I really like it, I guess I can check that out, too.

Let's not lie. That Titanic shirt was from high school. I bet there are some red and black items that--if not tossed already--can certainly go! ;)
You should have given some of your clothes to me, I like t-shirts!
I would advise against watching the movie, but I do want to know how the book is!
The Titanic shirt was absolutely from high school! :o)
I don't actually have anything from DHS except for yearbooks and memories. ;o)
