Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
As I have mentioned in previous threads, I am in the process of moving to a much smaller place and trying to downsize (declutter) big-time.
I FIREd in late May 2010. I haven't worn a suit and tie since then, but for a few times when I felt I needed to "dress up" for some occasional contract work. (But when I looked at some of my other fellow contract workers, I may have over did it a bit. They worn some kinda informal dress-up, or whatever.)
Anyway, during this process of moving, I've found that I've still got lots of dress coats, shirts, pants and ties--stuff I haven't worn since I FIREd. I don't think I'm gonna need much of what I've still got. And it looks like what I've still got in terms of dress clothes is gonna take up more closet space than it really should--these days.
What have you others--who might have to do some few semi-contract w**k-related activities have done with your old w**k-dress wardrobe?
By typing this text so far, and creating this thread, I'm thinking I've already answered my question: I should just chuck most of what I have, but keep a select few clothing items just in case, huh? What? Two or three suit coats? A black and a brown pair of slacks? A dozen or fewer ties ( and toss the other 20 or so)? And some six or so dress shirts?
What's been your experience?
