Put Your Picture Away

Today I faced the challenge of going through my clothes - especially the ones that I'd been given recently so I could find a spot for them. Happily I discovered the ones that didn't fit when they were given to me about a month ago are fitting much better now. yay! I committed to getting rid of the clothes hanging in my closet that I haven't worn in years or know I won't wear. I've bagged them all up and earmarked them for donations to upcoming garage sales.

I pulled the clothes that were size 16-18 (skirts/pants/capris) that are now too big and added them to my maternity box. Four months ago I was packing my box up and saying goodbye to a pregnancy that wasn't meant to be. When I was pregnant and going through my maternity clothes to find ones to wear most of my clothes were too big. YAY! I'd packed away all my size 20W into my maternity box thinking that I might need them to get me by until I needed the actual maternity pants. I had the same thought as I added my outgrown clothes today. We'll see what happens. Who knows, maybe the next time I need the maternity box the size 16 will be way too big too and I'll end up giving those away like I did the others.
