@needtocleanhouse: Oh, well, if it's Chanel, send it to me! :) I promise to send letters telling you how much I'm appreciating it. Admittedly, I'm not "needy", but I'm not in the high-end designer clothes level... :)
More seriously, if you're stuck finding a place, maybe you might post what city you're in - someone may know the perfect charity there.
I think the idea of the wonder hanger and only 5 of each is such a fab idea. I've been thinking about what I've got and there's quite a few categories where I have more than 5 (if short sleeved blouses and long sleeved ones are the same category then I have 10 - albeit 3 of which I don't wear as I bought them a year and half ago before I went on the pill and therefore up a cup size!)
Thinking about things this way is really helping to think about what I can pare down and although, for instance, I'm not going to get rid of 1 of my day dresses to bring it down to 5 I doubt I will replace the next one to wear out.
It has made me realise I need to get down my 'summer' box from the loft and sort through it now, with a calm, wintery head! I find if I try and purge things in summer I get caught up in the whole romantic idea of summer being a big long holiday when actually I'm in the office just as much!!
@wintersmom -- Wow! Only one drawer plus a little closet space for all seasons? Out of curiosity, how many items is that overall? I'm wondering how cold your winters get. And inspired...
@sesberry -- Yeah, I sorted the summer stuff onto Wonder Hangers as well. You're right: it's easier to sort it during the "wrong" season, and somehow, it was relatively easy to remember whether I wore certain items at all last summer, making the decision to purge a little easier.
Sometimes all this purging makes me want to sell the house and get a motor home. Sometimes.
Funny, I have thought of buying a motor home, too... I'd also have a tiny cottage to come home to, with my piano, music books, books, etc but just what I treasure and need. *grins, sighs, off to unclutter more crap*
