I have a closet full of "skinny jeans" I quit smoking 2 years ago and gained 20 lbs. So my favorite jeans are too small. I dont like to buy too many that fit me right now.. because I keep thinking I am gonna get back into my favorite ones.
So do you save your skinny jeans or clothes that dont fit you anymore? How long do you save them for?
I just know if I get rid of them I will lose weight eventually and fit in them again. I have gotten rid of a couple things that I regreted later.

I hold to clothing that is slightly too small, meaning I can get into it but its not something that is comfortable to wear and I would defintely NOT leave the house in it. Everything else goes. If/when I don't fit into my current size of clothing, then I'll want to go shopping and buy new anyway.

If I had something that was truely one of my favorite pieces of clothing, I would probably hold onto that too, but otherwise, its just taking up valuable closet space and it needs to go.

When I met bf I was a size 5 and 6. I went on birthcontol and gained weight.For over 3 years I struggled to lose weight to get from size 8 -9 ,back into my size 5-6. I could never do it,so eventually I gave up and gave them all away.Shortly after I decided to go off the pill and now I'm losing my weight.I might even be able to fit into those jeans I threw away.So now I have to wear a belt with all my jeans because they are all baggy.

My whole closet is divided into sections of "skinny" clothes, super skinny clothes and the crap I wear now. I know I need to lose about 25 pounds. Just recently I decided to send some of the skinny stuff to goodwill. I figure if I actually get serious and lose the weight, I deserve something new, in style and perfect for me.

I also lost weight after I gave the skinny clothes away. However there is no way I can be called skinny.

Depends on how much the "skinny jeans" cost originally! How about this....Think consignment, and save for new, current style clothes you can buy with the money you make--after you lose (or don't) the weight

I used to...not anymore. Just more clutter. I've decided to just get rid of anything that I can't fit into anymore. I'm fed up! ~Lisa

I'm in the same boat. I quit smoking a few months ago, and gained (still gaining?) some weight. Very few of my jeans fit, and my bras give me quadro-boob.

I'm holding on to my old clothes just in case. (wishful thinking, maybe )

Yes, I'm saving mine. I'll get back into them soon. But mine are only 2 years old.

No what's the point? They won't be in style anymore by the time they fit.

I just got done doing my annual yard sale and I was so proud of myself for cleaning out my closet. I got rid of much of my wardrobe. I have lost 18lbs (went from a size 8/10 to 6/7) over the past year and I had many clothes that were too big, I have been holding onto them, worried that I would gain the weight back and not have anything to wear. I finally forced myself to put them in my Yard Sale. With that being said.....while digging thru my closet I found a pair of size 5 jeans that fit me once upon a time. I did keep those...hoping that I might be able to drop a few more pounds and fit into my favorite pair of *skinny* jeans.
