Hubby's wardrobe needs help.
Step One was the Big Purge.
This is his shirt rod in our closet after I pulled out about a dozen things or so.
The pants rod was not as bad, but it turns out that about half of these no longer fit, so he actually pulled them out. The rest of them got washed and pressed.
He owns a million lot of ties.
The holiday/fun ties went to live in a zippered ties storage bag, and the rest of them fit on this hanging tie rack.
I hauled everything out of the closet that I knew was going to go and just started making piles. Almost all of it will go to Goodwill, but I wanted him to go thru it, before I tossed in the back of my car. And it's a good thing I did - there were a couple of things he had a particular attachment to.
He owns so many tees that the drawer wasn't closing properly. I "archived" all of the cub scout tees that I knew he wouldn't part with. Then I refolded the rest so that they would fit into one drawer. When I put folded items up, I tuck in a bar of soap here and there.
I finally reached a point where I could sort and fold the stuff that was going. And I actually went through my stuff, too!
An old gallon ziploc got stuffed with about two dozen ties.
Sweaters from the 90's.
I took pics of his shirts and ties and made a plan for what to buy. The list includes a couple of new suits, a blazer, shoes, and shirts. I am going to shop places where I will get discounts for using the store charge card, or special offers and cash back. But almost all of it will be new, both because he needs to look sharp and he's worth it. What a job!
Operation Clotheshorse has begun!
