I so agree with this! I also have learned not to get rid of something I LOVE even if I’ve tired of it. Those should get tucked away or hung in the coat closet or something bc I will often miss them once they’ve been gone a while. Not very many pieces make the cut but I have a sweater that I once wore multiple times a week (a very classic and well made one) that is on a break, while another I’d put aside—and even given to a friend for a year—is back in regular rotation. Coats often fall into this category—like, I want a trendier one for a while but I will come back to this classic in the end.
I get that! I've found that the weight of the fabric makes a huge difference. a really thin cotton poplin can definitely be soooo annoying re: wrinkles
Can I just say that eBay is not what it used to be and now there is Work that goes into resale (which obv can be very rewarding!) however it’s an almost granular look at why you bought ____ & packaging those references and emotions for your prospective buyer —I can’t help but think twice before I commit 💳
This was super helpful! Where do you recommend selling the pieces that don’t go to Goodwill? I have a pile I think I’m going to tell but so overwhelmed by the time and energy it’s going to take to get them online.

yes this is such a great approach. amazing how putting things out of sight even temporarily can shift your perspective
🎯 and the trend ones kill me the most bc I can go deep on a trend without realizing it sometimes 🫠
So helpful!
So helpful! I find I'm not reaching for cotton poplin because I'm too lazy to iron. Some of my synthetics don't wrinkle at all.

what do you do with the clothes you get rid of
I usually bring to goodwill, sell on the real real (if an item is designer), or give to my sisters / friends

I usually do the real real just because they make it so seamless. The commission is terrible but better than nothing!
