Getting Rid Of Everything

[Marjon]

I think it all depends on your savingsaccount...
It's a great idea but I won't even try it since my taste is quite expensive.
Now I also were pieces which I think are just ok instead of gorgeous.

I wouldn't get rid of everything. Especially if you don't have the money at the moment to buy replacements!

I've been getting rid of a lot of things from my closet lately. The entire wardrobe I used to wear while living in Canada has vanished. The majority of it went to a thrift store, but here in France I haven't found anything like that to give my old clothes to. I only get rid of things that I bought without realising they didn't fit right, that I never wear, that I can't match with anything and that I no longer like. Anything else I don't wear often, but doesn't have much wrong with it, I put in a 'maybe' bag.

It's quite positive to get rid of those things we do never use or think "why we bought this in the first place?"... & keeping some would be all depending the space you've got for storage...

I personally think keeping some good quality items even surprisingly weird to posses is a "must do"... what can i say... i love Vintage and if my mother wouldn't be as a meticulous Vintage keeper i wouldn't have some nice cardigans, dresses or bags...

Just the other week I had a massive junk throw-out.
I had an unbelieveable amount of junk in my room - just stuff cluttering up the sides that I didn't even like. It was quite depressing.
Anyway, I got rid of most of it and the room is pleasant to be in now.
I plan to do the same with clothes and junk when I go back to Bath. I don't like having all this clutter, I don't know why I had it in the first place.

So, I did get rid 98% from my wardrobe...I saved only the things I really wear and few very precious pieces of clothes like vintage dress from my mom and ofcourse I kept all the knitted scarves, hats gloves that are made by my mom and grandmom. I also did get rid of jewerly / accessoriez / shoes / bags I don´t use.
I kept:
only 2 pair of black t-shirts, 2 pair of jeans, 2 pair of shorts, one skirt, two dresses (black and print dress), 4 vintage print t-shirt, 2 long sleeve in black, one black cardigan and one colorful vintage cardigan, few things to wear when I sleep, some work out clothes and ofcourse unwerwears and socks and leggings.
I only kept my 3 vintage bags, one huge grey bag from zara and workout bag. I only kept one pair of black boots and TOMs sneakers and black ballet flats.
My closet was seriously full and after selling all that crap I got lot´s of money! I was so happy and my closet was so empty. I didn´t really buy anything new for a month or something like that and I really do enjoy that my closet is not overly full.

Lately I have been buying few things here and there but I really consider what to buy and what not to buy. I did notice that I have to buy new jacket because I did sell all of my jackets/coats

Nowdays I am more into saving money.

I can see myself being more creative with outfits when I wanna something new, like just pairing some print tights with shorts etc.

I feel like huuuge stone fell off my shoulders, I feel so much lighter...and if I need to move all my clothes fits in one huge bag or two. YAY!

Wow. My first thought was... wouldn't it be expensive to replace everything? ​

Well, if you sell them you get money!
and if you get rid of everything you don´t wear then you win, not loose
