I like wearing soft, flowing clothes to bed so reusing clothes for that purpose has given a second life to them so I don't have to take them all to the Goodwill!

I miss some of my old clothes too, which is probably one of the reasons why it's so hard to give them up
I worked hard to come up with outfits that looked great on me and it's actually a little depressing that they're totally "obsolete" now.
I refuse to give up most of my T-shirts! I love wearing some of them as nightshirts and a few have some great memories attached to them. A lot of my t-shirts are also those tiny, tiny juniors shirts that relatives bought me in XL and 2X. They never quite fit and now they're comfortable, slightly big shirts!
I've been reusing some of my clothes to practice sewing
and I've made a few bags out of my old jeans. Fun to have an original creation

I don't know, maybe its the security of the appearance of having a lot of clothes, even though I have few that actually fit I just can't really afford to buy many more, so having clothes around makes me forget that I only have one pair of pants that aren't falling off and maybe 10 shirts that are all for warm weather and now its getting cold.

I can't really afford a new set of clothes either. I've hit the clearance racks and kept an eye out for sales and I've done really well. It's a little unsettling for me to have so few clothes to wear..I'm not used to it.

Once I Am a size smaller in jeans.. out go my jeans that are too big. Shirts I do keep a little longer if they are tees and I can wear them to bed.
I DO however have 1 size 24 pants.. to keep in memory.. LOL and to try them on when I get to my goal weight.

I need this attitude. The last thing I want is to gain the weight back D:
I'm keeping a pair of my size 18 pants too, just to compare.

That's what I did at Old Navy. I CLEANED UP. Half off clearance and a 25% off coupon...holy crap did I get a lot of clothes!
I found some nice pants at a thrift store too, like a pair of Charlotte Russe jeans for $4!
