For the dresses that no longer fit, is it just the top portion that doesn't fit? If so, you could consider cutting it up and making them skirts.
And sometimes, it is the older pieces of clothing that still fits and lasts longer than the newer ones. I really don't understand how that works but so true in so many cases, especially since we seem to now live in a world of cheap, disposable clothing.
I can't stand turtlenecks. I used to wear them more when I was younger but at some point, I really disliked the constricting feel around my neck. I'd rather just wrap a scarf around loosely so it feels a bit more breathable.
With all your current posts about cleaning, I went ahead and did another round of pruning in my drawers and closet this morning. Sold off a few items including a handbag (nice, expensive, but have decided it was too structured for my tastes) to the nearby secondhand clothing shop, dropped off 2 items to the city's textile recycling program and there's a bag of other clothes that will be taken to Goodwill later this week.
