Flushing Clothes Down the Toilet

I have a ton of clothes.  Silk tank tops I bought in Italy.  Jeans from Paris.  Clothes I’ve had since high school and college.  My weight has fluctuated through the years, but in the end, I can always get back into those tight bell bottoms I bought at the Wasteland my freshman year at Cal.

Luckily, I’ve got a walk-in closet at our apartment and a basement storage room at my condo.  But lately, I’ve realized I don’t wear a lot of the items.  I should probably go ahead and get rid of them.  They’ve been clogging my sense of fashion.

I filled four large trash bags with skirts, tops, high heels, wedges, coats, sweaters, dresses.  You name it.  I reserved one of those trash bags for brand name items that I figured I could sell at a high-end consignment boutique.  My favorite one is Goodbyes, but I’ve been burned by them in the past because they require a minimum of three items.  The last time, I had two so that ended up being a waste of time.  Cris on Polk Street went through my stuff and selected a whopping six items.  Hooray!  If they sell at the prices I listed, I’ll have about $150.

Everything else I brought to Crossroads on Fillmore.  I have no idea what they took or how many items.  I was reading a book while they went through all my crap. “Catherine?  Catherine?  Your grand total is $56 cash.”

Keep in mind, they went through four full garbage bags of shit.  I guess that’s better than nothing.
