Day 31: Ill-Fitting Dress Shirts

So, I have had these shirts forever. They weren't purchased when I was at my largest, but when I wear them they look like trash bags. Who needs shirts that add 20 lbs? (Case in point: while taking the picture for this post K said "hold on, I need my wider lens.") They were also purchased before I knew you could buy fitted dress shirts! I bought a nice fitted dress shirt several years ago and I have worn it to every wedding, funeral, and job interview since. This week I decided to step up my game and I picked up two new shirts that fit like a tailor made them for me. I can't wait for an excuse to pimp them out.

DESTINATION: Goodwill.

Does throwing things out count if you buy things to replace them? A moral quandary.

"I can't wait for an excuse to pimp them out." That screams night out dancing to me.

a few house rules...

...better known as excuses designed to make our lives easier.

1) If we throw something away on Thursday but don't get a chance to post until Friday, it counts.

2) If we get rid of a few things at once, we can post them one at a time over the next few days. It's our stuff and we want to give it a proper send-off. Besides, we can't tell craigslisters, "Can you come tomorrow instead? We're all blogged-out today."

3) Sometimes we'll throw a pile of crap out and count it as five days' worth. Sometimes we'll throw a pile of crap out and call it one day. Both are fine, because we make the rules.

Rules subject to change when we feel like it.
