Holy neglect Batman...
I cleaned out the closet today, vowing to throw away anything I haven't worn in the past year, or six months prior to getting pregnant.
I'm virtually naked now. NOTHING to wear. And my Dh thought I really just said that! Ha, I can't wait for him to see I really wasn't kidding. I even threw out all those "I'll wear that again when I lose the weight" clothes. Because I'm having trouble losing the weight and by the time I do I wouldn't wear that stuff anyway. I realized since getting serious with my DH I have truly "let myself go" and neglected me. Wow. Thank goodness he doesn't realize that/or care.
Wow, so cleaned out the closet today, getting my hair done professionally and completely different Friday. Maybe this year I will lose the weight after all.
Baby steps.

Re: Holy neglect Batman...
I hear ya on that! I feel like the only clothing I really have left that fits decently are my maternity clothes! I guess it's a good thing I'm pregnant again and so soon after DS lol!
No but really, I recently cleaned out my closet too - it's lookin' pretty stark. I've vowed to get in better shape and lose some weight after LO #2 is born and then I'll go clothes shopping. Hopefully. ;o)
I so need to do this.
I asked for GC for clothes at Christmas and I've slowly been buying new stuff, but I've not gotten rid of much.
I have a shirt that I still wear that I got in middle school. I'm 35. Is that bad?? LOL!
I have several soccer shirts from grade school that I sleep in LOL. old tshirts are the best, they are so soft! (I'm 28).
Good job on the closet cleaning! I have to do this myself. I have NOT let go of the majority of those "when I lose the weight" clothes because I LOVE most of them & don't think we will have the $ to replace all of my clothes - lol, DH is the clothes horse around here and has WAAAY more clothes than I do and is constantly buying more. And his mother buys him more. She was over the other day and asked "is that all the laundry you have to do?" I said, "no, it is all of DH's laundry." MIL: "for how long?" Me: "don't know, he wears til he is out so probably about a month". MIL: silent. I forgot to tell her he had a FULL bag of drycleaning in the car as well - like $50 worth.
Anyhow, so I have nothing to wear as well. I am getting sick of my maternity clothes which until recently I was still wearing because I didn't want to stretch out my other tops with the BFing. In addition, while I hit my pre-preg. weight I didn't have a lot of clothes that fit well when I found out I was preg. and was trying to lose weight then AND while my weight is down, my body seems very different. It is sad to realize how little I have.
So, about 5 weeks ago, I started to get serious about the plan I started before finding out I was pg.: Get back to pre-DH fit levels!
He has been a horrible influence on me and I, sadly, also didn't realize how bad it had gotten til - well, til it was BAD. So I have been hitting the gym and watching portions & not buying stuff I tend to snack on when I am bored. I am down about 10 lbs. 
I also bought some workout clothes at Khols a week ago - 1. I only had 1 pair of pants that were safe for working on machines (I am short and lots of them are too long - not a good idea on the treadmill, etc.) 2. I only had 1 t-shirt 3. I figured if I felt good about what I was wearing, I would enjoy going more. It worked. Not only do I enjoy going more, but they have been comfy to wear around the house when hanging out with DS & cleaning. It is amazing what having just a few new things that fit me NOW has done for me.
My plan was a new haircut after 10 lbs, but I think I am going to wait til 15 or so because I can't decide what I want. LOL.
Good luck with your haircut & each baby step. I give you props for the closet!
OMGosh, I am sending this link to everyone I know because they make fun of me for that all the time. I have gotten much better & parted with a lot of my MS/HS clothes. But, come on, I stopped growing in like 8th grade so if it fit I kept it. And some of them I liked enough to keep wearing - sweatshirts, t-shirts, swimsuits, etc. LOL...I wear my PE uniform as PJs in the summer. They color is awful but it is soo soft & comfy. ha ha.
You just made my night! lol
