 So did I..think that the question would be how often do you have sex  ...ok, closets..no special time span here..depends on me feeling the need to do it or above all, needing the space. It isn´t easy to throw out stuff tho..I mean just think if I "need" it a year from now or 3 years from now?? And that shapeless, washed out sweater..it´s sooo comfy on a rainy day at home!!!  I actually have a sweater that is over 20 yrs old and I wear it to work at least 1 a week when I need to feel that I am taking my cozy home with me...and it really works. People usually tell me that I look like I have lost weight when I wear it. Just goes to show you..if you feel good with what you´ve got..it´ll communicate itself to others

Good answer Gimster!!
We give our closets a good clean-out every year when we go south for our annual winter getaway. We bring clothes (and shoes, jewellery, purses, etc) that just barely fit us or we don't use anymore (or bought on sale throughout the year), wear them while down there, then give them away before we come home. It works well, since it's a very poor country and the people can use whatever we bring - if they can't use it themselves, they either pass it along to someone who can, or they alter it to make something else, like clothes for their children, curtains, bags, whatever they need.
When Mom died, we brought a lot of her beautiful clothes (some of them hadn't even been worn!) down the following trip - there were many happy smiles that year!
The last time we were there, we brought a lot of children's clothes. And since we didn't make it there last year, we haven't cleaned out our closets in two years, so we'll have quite a lot of stuff to take down with us this next visit.
And whatever heavier stuff we can't lug in our suitcases, we box up for the local charity truck that comes by every month.
