Why I Have a Hard Time Letting Go of Clothes

This American Eagle denim mini skirt is soooo old— I must have thrifted it 8-9 years ago & I haven’t worn it in ages. I’ve almost gotten rid of it a bunch of times but haven’t… And then yesterday I decided to pull it out to go with these new boots (which, btw, are fabulous and are being discontinued so they’re on sale & BOGO right now, so run and get them before they’re gone!) and it turned out to be my new favorite outfit!

This is why I have the hardest time getting rid of clothes.. always in the back of my mind is that voice whispering, “you may want to wear this someday and you won’t have it…” and so then I just keep it for that reason and then my closet is overflowing and it’s just too much! Ha! Oh well.

As always, I will link my outfit at the bottom using affiliate links. This just means if you purchase anything using these links I earn a small commission, at no additional cost to you. Thanks for your support! 🙂

  1. You’re so right! Letting go of clothes can be surprisingly emotional. For me, it’s often attached to memories or a certain stage in life. This post is a great reminder to focus on how the clothes make me feel now. Maybe I can take a picture of a favorite outfit for the memories before letting it go. Thanks for the helpful tips!
