In Answer to the Clothes Whore

Many of you may have read my sister's recent blog about being a "Clothes Whore No More." Needless to say, I was in the midst of cleaning out my closet at the same time, and was inspired to clean out a little more than I originally intended. Here's the original pile:


My husband then asked for the honor of throwing out anything in my closet that he hadn't seen me wear in about a year, so I let him. Interestingly, he is a much bigger clothes whore than I am, ask anyone who knows him; he's such a Gap ad. Anyway, another day another blog... Sooo, he started with my shoes. I was embarrassed as he tossed out shoes so dusty I couldn't tell if they were brown or black. Check out the dust film and the squared toes on these babies:



So, Rachel, be proud! I stand united with you as a Recovering Clothes Whore, determined to only make good quality, well fitting purchases from this moment on. Here's the final pile set to go to those lucky guys down at the Salvation Army:



P.S. Is it ghetto to give away non-holey, washed but "gently used" underwear?

I'm dwy! I'm dwy! I'm SO pwowd!

Good job on the closet purging. Did Greg clean out any of his clothes?

I think giving underwear is a little gross. But I am thinking of donating used swimwear. Is that gross?

Rach--swim wear is less gross than underwear. I think I'll throw away the undies and donate everything else.

Is it showing you that you have zero comments? When I'm on your page it says you don't have any, but I see them when I click on the comments link. Weird.

Square toes aren't in? Heaven help me. Now you're forcing me to purge my closet too!!!

Good for you. Mine has actually been purged because we are moving, and while it felt so good, I now realize I have no clothes that actually fit or look halfway respectable...
