I just don't have time to do it before work and would rather do something else aside from iron a whole pile of clothes at once!)Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403983176561111203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173100887297095016.post-30430738531992904922012-10-05T19:40:38.832+10:002012-10-05T19:40:38.832+10:00I definitely like buying clothes and I've been...I definitely like buying clothes and I've been thinking recently I should go out and get another work-type shirt. But I don't think I tend to buy a lot. A key point is what you said about identifying your style. I think I've only in the last year or two really identified that and so I have loads of clothes in my wardrobe that I never wear because they don't look good on me and are not my style... or because they require ironing and I hate ironing haha. And many of them I didn't actually buy. I still have a lot of clothes from when I was a teenager and lived at home, and mum would buy me stuff when she saw things on sale and I'd take them thinking I might wear them at some point - and rarely have. I also have hand-me-downs from friends and relatives which I've taken thinking I might wear and again, don' really. And some things I've bought - like shirts for work - and then rarely worn them because I can't be bothered ironing them before work in the morning. I just re-wear the same few that don't need ironing. So any work clothes I buy in future need to be iron-free as much as possible!Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403983176561111203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173100887297095016.post-49093533040382414912012-09-19T09:17:55.583+10:002012-09-19T09:17:55.583+10:00I have a LOT more items of clothing than that.

I hate throwing out clothes. I've only just managed to get rid of my high school sports shirt. I'm not sure how much more I'd like to get rid of..but I know that I don't need to keep buying more. How many singlets do I need, really?Gracehttp://ltlto.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173100887297095016.post-24035159975373998432012-09-15T21:19:11.178+10:002012-09-15T21:19:11.178+10:00I feel like I have too many clothes, but every tim...I feel like I have too many clothes, but every time I try to cull, I can't find any I want to actually part with. <br /><br />I wear most of my clothes. There are a couple of pieces that I cherish but am worried if I wear them even just once more, they will fall apart (which happened to my absolutely favourite top of all time). So I know I need to let go of this silly bond with them, since I can't love a piece of clothing that isn't actually clothing anymore (ie because I won't wear it). I really do need to just wear them till I can't anymore and then say good bye, for good. <br /><br />I also find it hard knowing which clothes to keep and which clothes will definitely not fit me in the near-enough future. There are some staples that while I'm pregnant, can't fit into, and I'm not sure if I will again. But I don't want to get rid of them, only to have to buy the same things, in the same sizes in 6 months time. Have I lost all the baby weight I'm going to lose? Only time will tell me that answer. <br /><br />This is something I often struggle with. And when I see others' wardrobes, I realise that I actually don't have as many clothes as other people. But I think they've got too many clothes, and it doesn't even matter if I have less than other people, I still FEEL too cluttered with what I have. It doesn't help that we're in such a small bedroom, without a proper wardrobe until our house has been renovated to the point we're in our new room, with a walk in wardrobe too. <br /><br />I recently moved my winter clothes to the back rung of our mock-wardrobe and brought the summer clothes to the fore rung, so that kind of felt like getting new clothes. And I don't expect to lose much more weight at all from my top half so I should be able to go through them again and find SOMETHING to get rid of.Emma Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409798724060176437noreply@blogger.com
