ITU - I can't wear dresses right now b/c I'm bfing, so I just wear skirts and blouses/twinsets to church. I've just been getting rid of the larger sizes as I go down. A couple yrs. ago I gained about 40 lbs and nothing fit so I got rid of all my smaller clothes b/c it was making me feel frustrated. Then I lost about 20 lbs, then got pregnant, gained 40 more pounds, and am now trying to get down again, I'll never get down to my pre-pregnancy weight of even after dd2 but
So basically, I just keep a small enough wardrobe that I buy something that fits when I need it. Like right now I have one pair of jeans that fit and two larger pairs. When I get down I'll replace them all.

Not often. I have three part-time jobs...my piano teaching is pretty casual, I just usual wears jeans and a nice-looking top, my church job I dress up for on Sunday but that's it (other rehearsals and staff meetings are casual), and then my jazz gigs are fairly formal so I have a couple nice black dresses and one formal dress for those.

When I was pregnant this last time I finally did that!
Why was I keeping all those clothes in my closet/dresser when I couldn't even wear them?
