No contest here ladies, and let's be brutally honest. Even if you are planning to lose the weight you'll want to go out and buy new things anyway, so out it goes. Get rid of anything polyester. If it is in less than perfect condition, out it goes. Get rid of anything outdated like your stirrup pants and those Dynasty suits with the padded jackets that rival Joan Crawford.
Classics are always keepers.
A black blazer, a black dress, a cashmere cardigan, or sweater. Any investment pieces that still fit or are in good condition. For example, an alligator bag that would cost a fortune to replace today would be a keeper. As I said before, we have to be honest with ourselves here. Trash anything that is stained, ripped, faded and not wearable by anybody.
