Spring closet cleaning -- delayed about a season
I've been going through my closet today, finding what I have and what I could use.
This is partially inspired by Jule Ann Wakeman.
Standard clothes:
10 standard overshirts, button up. These are useable in a variety of circumstances, and you've assuredly seen me in them. I wear them to work and in normal life.
14 fandom t-shirts
1 long sleeve t-shirt
3 shorts
2 pairs jeans (maybe 3, we'll see when laundry is finished)
4 belts
microfober cloths, many times many. These clean glasses.
plenty of underthings & socks
plenty of gym things, perhaps too many
4 pairs of jamjams.
Things I have because I work in an office:
6 white undershirts
4 standard work slacks
Fancy:
1 suit, 3 piece
1 Dark blue fancy shirt
1 light blue fancy shirt
1 white french cuff fancy shirt
3 ties
"Fun" clothes:
1 hawaian shirt
1 camping shirt
1 mandarin collar shirt
1 "cute" outfit: Blue pants, nice shirt. I wear this when I want to look pretty.
Could use:
2 pair work slacks
4 more undershirts
1 pair french cuffs
Planning to pack to be ready for a 3-night trip on no notice:
-- enough underthings & under shirts
-- socks
-- 2 standard shirts
-- one pair slacks
-- 1 pair jamjams
I've tossed several things in a bunch of categories. Normal things, fancy things. All sorts of things that either don't get worn or were in bad shape.

Do they all still fit? I know you were working on your weight.
ReplyDeleteMostly, yeah. The fancy shirts should probably be replaced, but the everyday wear is pretty good -- I've been intentionally buying closer fit clothes.
ReplyDeleteHow about you, though? Have you had to get a whole new wardrobe?
I wish. I did go through my closet a few months back and tossed maybe half of it. I was supposed to dress up for work, which is rare, and discovered none of my formal shirts fit. Once I got started I tossed a ton and got some replacement formal clothes.
ReplyDeleteMy weight loss has leveled off for a month or so. :(
But if I do actually manage to get back close to my minimum of 175 I'll probably go back and toss a bunch. I feel like it was a mistake to stay in baggy clothes that fit me forty pounds heavier, if only because it removed a reminder and one more motivation to keep it off.
Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI think i should own a black suit.
ReplyDeleteHave you been watching the new Queer Eye?
ReplyDeleteYes... I do not recall what they say about black suits.
ReplyDeleteNothing that I remember. But Tan is big on suits. And I was wondering if that might be part of the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI've thought I should have a black suit for a while. For formal occasions where a black suit is important.
