Empty closet.

I was looking for something to wear and I was having a hell of a time because everything I put my hands on was too big! Initially I was frustrated, but then I realized that everything was too big, not too small and that made me feel better. 


I had some time yesterday and started pulling out tops that didn't fit. I have one closet for tops and sweaters and another for pants. My pant closet always has plenty of room, but my tops closet is usually packed full. I usually can't find a hangar or a spot to hang anything! I have to keep everything together by color and sleeve length in that closet or I will lose everything! I'll never find a top again if it gets out of place. Well....that was until I started cleaning. 


About every 3 months I go through the closet and take out a few tops here and there that don't fit. I stop at about 3 bags of tops and take them to Goodwill. Then I will buy more tops and the closet just fills right back to maximum capacity. 


Yesterday I don't know what got into me! I was just tearing everything out of there. I was trying things on to see if they still fit, which most things were too big, and I filled 3 giant trash bags. My tops don't even fill one half of the closet now. Almost 3/4 of the closet is just empty hangars. 

Not my closet, but pretty close!

Now, I have to go shopping. I have like 4 cardigans and a bunch of tank tops! I'm going to need more than that to get through the summer! I also still kept some shirts that I know I should have parted with. I think I was afraid that I would really have nothing left on the hangars. My closet is literally filled wall to wall this hangars. I can hardly even find room for one more hangar. I'm now trying to figure out how I had clothes hanging on all of those hangars!

I sell my jeans back to Plato's Closet when I have to buy smaller pants, but I don't with the tops. I'm going to have to make a trip to Plato's Closet and Goodwill. I just don't have the money to buy new clothes at full price to only wear them for 2 months!
