This is why I have so much trouble getting rid of clothes

I'm self-admittingly one of those annoying children who can never seem to completely move out of her parents house- i.e. I use the room off the basement as my personal storage unit.  Clearly this ad fails to reach me:




I was there a few weeks ago retrieving more of the belongings I had left after my move from Brooklyn when I stumbled upon a bag of clothes that I had intended to donate to the goodwill.  Out of curiosity I looked through them and discovered a few tops tops that I thought could work as maternity garments.


Among them was this yellow number.  I bought it a few years ago and I don't even remember where it is from.  I didn't wear it much because it always felt unflattering- the material is very structured so the bottom portion maintained a wide shape that didn't work for my normal body type.  However, it does wonders for my pregnant body!  The empire waist cut works very well and the ruched, elasticized portion around the bust has a lot of give, which makes the shirt extremely comfortable.

This does pose a problem though, because I have trouble getting rid of clothes because I always wonder if I will like them better down the line.  Usually I force myself to donate clothes that I haven't worn in a while, but this scenario threatens to throw off my entire system...

shirt~ probably Marshalls or something of the like
jeans~ Old Nay Maternity
sandals~ Mudd
