Clothing plan

[peacetara]

I guess I need to downsize my clothes, LOL.<br /><br />I have 1 nice outfit, it's a super fine wool, skirt and sweater combo. I want to get a "summer" nice outfit too.&nbsp; I rarely wear them, but it's always nice, for when I get invited out somewhere, to have "good" clothes.<br /><br />I have 3 bra's (1 is a sport bra), and a dozen or so undies and socks.<br /><br />I have 2 pairs of jeans, a "dirty pair" and a "nice pair"&nbsp; I'd like to add a few more pairs to my collection at some point.<br /><br />For winter clothing: <br /><br />Silk long johns (upper and lower), I ADORE these things, they feel absolutely fabulous against the skin, and they do an amazing job of keeping me warm as a base layer.&nbsp; Then I have some "base layer" type wicking fabric that I wear, and then wool stuff (skirts, sweaters, etc) and then I also have hoodies, and finally an outer jacket, that used to be waterproof 10 years ago, but isn't really anymore.&nbsp; Gloves (2 pair) and 2 toque's.<br /><br />Summer type clothing:<br /><br />Sun Dresses, skirts, t-shirts.&nbsp; a few cami's/Tanks, but I tend not to wear them.<br /><br />I have 3 whole rows of clothing on my shelves...

Undies are sooo easy to wash in a small bowl or sink.&nbsp; Of course, growing up as one of 9 females in the family, there was always bras, panties, and hose hanging in the bathroom (and only one bathroom!). I'm with Bob and the cold weather hoarding of clothes...I'm leary of getting rid of any jackets, coats, gloves, thermals, etc.&nbsp;Won't even tell you how many pair of boots I own for different occassions. &nbsp;I am having a hard time figuring out what would have to go.&nbsp;It's been 23 below zero&nbsp;here past couple a days/nites so getting rid of those is not high on my list right at the moment.<br /><br />Rae

Lots of underwear, socks and T-shirts.<br><br>I am wishing I had kept more cold weather clothing now. I had thought we would stay in the warm areas and never again spend a winter in the icy sub zero snowy regions, but I was wrong. I did bring barely enough, thank The Lord, but I gave away a lot that I wish I had kept. Ditto for some summer things too. I kept a nice winter skirt that I am considering remaking into leggings as I don't think I'll ever wear it again. I have a few nice pants and blouses and sweaters for wearing out. I also have two nice summer skirts that I think I might wear, but not the winter one.&nbsp;<br><br>I gave away a couple of summer leggings that I wish I had kept.&nbsp;<br><br>Many workout bras are a must with all the hiking we did last summer and plan to do again. I could almost wear them all day, every day working in the campsites too.&nbsp;<br><br>The rugged wear is good to have. Hiking and cleaning campsites can be hard on clothes (hauling firewood and garbage, clearing out beaver dams, etc.) &nbsp;You don't want to wear something like spandex leggings for those jobs.&nbsp;<br><br>It also involves a lot of walking and possibly carrying things (like firewood and garbage) so durable comfortable and supportive shoes in the summer or boots in cooler weather are necessary for the job (good sturdy comfortable running/hiking shoes or working boots).&nbsp;Warm, durable, 100% waterproof boots are handy for rainy days and working in the water (beaver dams...).&nbsp;<br><br>These are tips for camping too, not just working in a campsite.&nbsp;A "Barbie Doll" just wouldn't survive. If you want to work in a campsite, expect to get dirty and lose any long manicured nails you might have had. &nbsp;<img rel="lightbox" src="/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif" class="bbc_img"><br><br>That said, we both LOVED it! There's not that much work to do, most campers are considerate and clean up after themselves. We enjoyed meeting all the campers and got to be friends with some locals that camped there often on the weekends. We loved the job and staying there, even without phone or internet.&nbsp;Lots of beautiful hiking trails and stuff to do!&nbsp;

The more underwear the better. 14 briefs means 14+ days before I need to do laundry.

I wash all the little things by hand and try to keep it small, doing a quick job daily. I don't need as many clothes that way too. <br>We rarely pay to do laundry in a machine.&nbsp;

Just to add to the topic, If your not&nbsp;afraid&nbsp;to wear some one&nbsp;else's&nbsp;used clothing you can pick up some great deals at thrift&nbsp;store's (goodwill,&nbsp;salvation&nbsp;army,ect-ect).<br><br>About 3 weeks ago I picked up 2 nice winter jackets/coats one was made by Patagonia and the other was by LL bean. Both are high quality made in the&nbsp;USA&nbsp;jackets. They looked like they were never worn! I got each for $7.

I have waaay too many clothes to list on here. I even have a full suit in its casing for formal occasions which hasn't gotten used in 2 years now. Way too many clothes but I haven't the time to sort them out properly...&nbsp;
