Clothing: How Old is Too Old?

When my children were little and went through outfits every few months, the non-stained clothing could go to a resale clothing shop where I could recoup some of my investment.  They were quite particular about what they would accept.  Places like Goodwill, however, don't seem to mind the somewhat outdated clothing.  In fact, my daughter and I have shopped there expressly at times to purchase costumes or one time, gulp, get an outfit for 80's day.  (That shouldn't be a costume decade...I lived part of my adult life in that time period!)  To finish the story, we actually found a flowered dress with HUGE shoulder pads and a large lace collar to represent that decade.  Add permed big hair, and she was back in 1985!

So, unless your clothing is stained, dirty, missing buttons, or terribly torn, take it to donate. Otherwise, throw it out.
