Does anyone else find it hard to part with these items?My vintage clothing collection is getting ridiculously big, and I have vowed to start selling some of it.
Especially the pieces that aren't my size and I would never wear.
I can't help though, I still want to keep them!
It's like owning a beautiful piece of history, or art...
So my challenge is to keep half, and sell half.
I'm really gonna try...
*sigh* what a dilemma...
Been there .....
ReplyDeleteDon't get rid of your most amazing pieces . You will regret it,Even though I'm still pretty small at 118ish,I was about 100 be4 kids. I still have my Norma Kamalis and perfect 50's cocktail frocks. Luckily I'm raising a 10 year old that will soon fit into them(shes so tall).
The pieces that do not set your blood to boil ,BANISH them!
yep, I know what you mean. I have downsized my own personal collection but its still big ( and still growing of course). My social life is rather pathetic also but I just wear my clothes even if its just to do the grocery shopping!
ReplyDeleteI know what you are feeling.
ReplyDeleteI have the most beautiful pair of super pointy toed vintage (c.1960's?)shoes in good condition. But, they hurt my feet (surprisingly not in the toe but the heel). I should give them to a thrift store but I love them. I'd be happy to give them to a good home (free). I just want to know they are with someone who appreciates vintage.
It is hard. Especially as a clothing seller, I come across so many pretty items that I love. Not only clothing but little vintage odds and ends and damaged clothing too, I just had to keep it. After moving twice this past year, I did learn to downsize and let go of some things that I know that I will never wear or be able to do anything with.
ReplyDeleteI just looked at it as passing on something special to someone else to enjoy.
