My Recycled Wardrobe

Since late 2012, I've voluntarily started a very restrictive diet: vegetarian(except for egg whites and non-fat milk products), no nuts and seeds, and no added oils.   While the change was made primarily for health reasons, a side benefit has been a significant loss of weight. I have lost a little over 10% additional pounds. As a result, I am now able to fit comfortably into clothes from a decade ago when I was just slight heavier than I am now.

Since I still have many of those clothes, which are classic styles, I will be able to recycle much of my wardrobe from that time.  For me this is good news in three ways.  I don't particularly like shopping for clothes and my expense for clothes should be significantly reduced.  In addition, I will eliminate some clutter by determining which of the recycled clothing should be kept, donated or discarded.
