Family Balance Sheet

JULY 16, 2015

My mother recently borrowed some luggage from us for a plane trip. If I don’t wear something within a season, I donate it–unless it is an occasional use type of piece like the dressy shoes above. I keep a list of needs with me so I’m not buying stuff we don’t need. I’m a big fan of Banana Republic, J.

We also use these large blue plastic bags as coverups for luggage when we take our van on trips, so that passerby’s can’t peek in and decide to break in to steal what we are carrying. Before throwing away old clothing, I snip the buttons off and remove working zippers (unless I’m donating the item).
