I have boxes and boxes of clothes that I've never worn -- probably $1,000's of them.

Congratulations!!! :) I also have "fat and skinny clothes". Right now I'm in the in-between clothes, which is nice since a few years ago a friend gave me a bunch of name brand western style jeans that I'm getting back into. Keep up the good work and remember we all are looking forward to seeing you in that dancing dress.

Way to go! I am so happy for you. I have a big plastic bag of pants I can't wear but couldn't part with that I am determined to get back into. I finally did it and joined Weight Watchers tonight. I'd take music over clothes too right now lol. Hugs Mo

If this was a real life it would have come with instructions.

I love when things reach this point - you're looking through closets, boxes, etc and you find stuff you haven't been able to wear in ages, and it's all come back into style. I call it "recovered wardrobe" and am always thrilled to find something "new" without spending a nickel.

And who says Hawaiian shirts are tacky?! Maybe on Wall Street, but in real life, they're beautiful and colorful, like an exotic parrot....(can you tell Jimmy Buffett was in town only a little while ago?)

Congratulations, Mary!

Sounds like great fun! I'd love to get to that point again. I have thousands of dollars worth of clothes I keep hoping to get back into too. Trouble is, I haven't done anything to make it happen.


Hawaiian shirts are very popular here -- particularly in the summer and if you live on the beach side of the intracoastal.

You go girl!! How nice to have a smaller size wardrobe waiting for you. I agree...new CDs would be perfect. You can never have too much good music.

Enjoy your new CD whatever you decide to buy as well as you new wardrobe.

Way to go!! Nothing excites me like clothes. I'm so excited for you!

I rotate through my clothes once a year. I've divided the year into 8 seasons, starting on Memorial Day. Each 'season' has ~6.5 weeks in it. I have six work outfits for each season. When I wear one, I just put it to the back of the rotation, and the next day wear the next outfit, etc. I store all the other seasons for free at the dry cleaner's. That way every 6.5 weeks it's like a little mini-Christmas. Nothing like what you have going though! Let us know what fits and what doesn't.

All the best,

Lee Ann
