Do you store clothes that you've outgrown?

Ask:
I fluctuate constantly on my weight. I have given some away but still find myself with two containers full. Do you do this? I just want to donate them some days. Like today, I've been home cleaning my room up. And I want it gone because of limited space. But I talk myself out of it due to not having the money to replace it. It's said that you never get back into them again. But I have lost weight again and wished I had kept them. I have even kept my favorites. But it just keeps multipying on me! Sometimes it's takes awhile to get back into them , which makes me wonder if I should just release them. What are your opinons on this? My husband hates that I save them. But I would just hate to buy again. Finding things that fit me to make me feel good is always hard too. It just never seems to look right to me.

And how much is enough and not enough? Some days I wished we lived yrs ago, where it was okay to wear the same dress to church everyday. I know i'm weird .lol But I think in our society we think we have to have more. In that respect it was so much simplier back yrs ago. I want to go thru my closet and thin out big time. How many of each thing should I keep? I work fulltime, and have to wear black and white. So I mainly just dress up for church. And usually I am off a day during the wk. And I usually like to dress comfy then. Any suggestions?
Answer:

I have my pre preggo box that I hope I will fit into one day...

Id keep the clothes if you do fluctuate in weight. Why get rid of it only to need it again one day? Store them in those plastic totes in the garage, just be sure to label them.
Answer:

I'm terrible. I have clothes from high school that I just know I'll never fit into again. But what if I do? Then what? Then I'll reward myself with a shopping trip for a whole new wardrobe because I won't want the outdated clothes. So why do I keep them? Because I'm a self admitted packrat!

Answer:

I have gotten rid of most of my clothes I do not fit in. I figure if I ever get there again, they will be out of style anyway.
Answer:

nope...we have a rummage sale once a year, what ever we don't sell there goes to goodwill. I do have a few outfits that I do hang on to, simply because they have some special meaning to me. There is one dress and pair of shoes I bought in Italy when we went there 7 years ago, I will never get rid of that outfit. I am hoping to buy some more clothing next time we go to Europe- stuff that will actually FIT!
