argh I have too many cltohes

I am packing and can't figure out what too bring because I have too many freaking clothes. I take up 3 closets in this house...it's kinda sick. All the stuff that still had the tags on it I gave to the hurrcane relief effort but I feel kinda bad giving them stuff that is not new as it's insulting I think. I need to finish packing but I have three suitcases full of stuff and there's not going to be room for my bf's things in my car but I can't figure out what I won't need argh

 

Three suitcases? Where are you going and how long are you gonna be away?

 

just 5 days and I'm not an overpacker I don't know why I am like this today and i am realizing that all the clothes are probobly why I'm always broke I'm going camping for two days than coming back to san diego and we're staying in a hotel kinda near my house. unlessthe weather is nice up there and we're too hung over from wine tasting to drive back down here ...which is a positibility

 

3 suitcases for 5 days....do ya plan on changing clothes every couple of hours?
I brought 2 bags with me on the greyhound bus when I moved back to NH last month.

 

Wow, that's a lot of clothes. I have a lot of clothes too, I think dressing up in funky stuff is fun. When I go on a trip, I dislike packing clothes. I pack 'very lightly.' I think you should eliminate some items.

 

I eliminated all the well if this happens I'll have these clothes. Now I'm down to a small suitcase and a large one and the camping stuff...all is good and i decided to clean out my closet wehn I get back and not shop!

 

giving used clothes isnt insulting People who have nothing will be happy to recieve anything.

 

ya that's true...good point

 

yeah really, do ya think they would rather be on TV in the same dirty filthy clothes that they slept in all week...or get a suitcase full of 2nd hand clothes.
Their closets got destroyed, so they would love to go thru your closet...it would probably almost seem like christmas to them.

 

I was going to wait untill my company set up their temporary center for the kids before I sent more stuff but maybe I'll make another trip...

 

any time I go anywhere I bring 3 sets of clothes, 7 underwear and as many socks as I can fit after everything else is packed......

it has worked so far.....

 

you can donate your extra stuff to the red cross..

honestly, i have to cull the heap in my closet frequently. i dont' have so many clothes, but i keep the good stuff.

 

I wear everything I own I got rid of anything I hadn't worn in 6 months and donated it a couple months ago but even if I wear all of it I don't think I should have this much stuff-stuff weighs ya down ya know. thats one of the reasons i still live at home-mobility and no commitments to things

 

5 days? all you need is two pairs of pants, one pair of shorts, 5 shirts and a bunnyhug/jacket. Plus 5 pairs of undies and socks (make sure one pair of socks is very warm, in case it gets cold). And two pairs of shoes at hte most - one pair of runners, one pair of sandals. And all that's at a maximum, I usually forget a shirt and a pair of socks,b ecause I'm untalented.

 

You could become a nudist. That'd show 'em.

 

it would show them enough to send em running

 

yeah, when you move a lot and have to move your shit alot, you get real
particular about what you wanna keep moving. but i was never really one for fashion anyway.

 

I was up to my ass in clothes until I just got bags and started to basically throw everything in bags to get rid of...
I had clothing from when I was in high school (haha shut up) Its just that I find it hard to get rid of clothing cause I always tell myself, ya never know when im gonna wear this or blah some excuse id tell myself..instead of tossing it out cause its crap or cause its old like normal people do
So, recently I had 13+bags of clothing I had to toss out.. I just tossed basically everything that I havent worn recently... And I am so glad I did...

 

yeah. we do that once a year. some of the crap dave keeps is just intolerable, so i throw it away without telling him.

 

haha, and I bet he never notices...
