To understand why the following conversation makes my husband ill, you have to understand an agreement he and I made. I told him he could only buy a new t-shirt if he got rid of one of the many stacked (and stacked and stacked) in our closet. He only promised to agree if I conceded the same. I could only buy something if I gave something away...simple, right? (Note: My father has been in sales my whole life. He wouldn't buy me a pair of running shoes without conjuring up some sort of "deal". I know how to work it, its in my blood, poor guy never saw it comin'.)
Cut to current conversation:
Husband: What are you doing in here?
Wife: Cleaning out my closet and organizing my clothes into 2 piles: one to keep and one to give away.
Husband: It looks like you are keeping almost everything!
Wife: That is my give-away pile.
Still filtering through mountains of clothing. Its almost summer...I encourage you to do the same! Let me know if you find anything good!
BONUS: If you are brave enough, comment below with the most EMBARRASSING piece in your wardrobe. I'll tell if you tell :)

Dana,
The most embarassing piece of clothing in my wardrobe has got to be a cut-off hooded sweatshirt that my dad gave me when I was little. Except, back then it wasn't "cut-off!"
My dad ran track in his high school and kept his track sweatshirt to pass down to his kids. He gave it to me when I was younger and I wore it regularly. I was a dancer for most of my childhood and adolescent life and that is when I decided that the shirt would get much more use... as in 4 nights a week during the fall and winter months... if I cut it off and wore it over my leotards or with a sports bra and bottoms during my intensive dance training.
It was a wonderful idea. Except that now I am no longer 16 and dancing my nights away competitively. Instead, I am a mom with 2 toddlers and little post-pregnancy body self esteem and would not be caught dead in a cut off sweatshirt and leotard. Still, I keep the sweatshirt. IT has sentimental value and I just cannot let that go.
But it would be embarassing if anyone raided my closet and for a second considered that I still wear that shirt.
