At no point have I ever said "I no longer want to wear this, I'll sell it for a buck and buy something new".
Me either, but I do get to the point where my closet and dresser are full, and I have clothes in them that I haven't worn in years. The pipeline starts to get clogged right after the "nice enough for going out and/or work" stage, because everything lasts so much longer in the "comfy in the house" stage than it does in the "nice" stage. Plus things change from year to year: how nicely I dress at work, how often I go out, where I go when I go out. Some people have changes in location and climate or in their body size. And sometimes you just look at something and realize it isn't you anymore. Am I ever again going to wear the barn jacket my parents bought me twenty years ago? Maybe, under circumstances I can't foresee right now, but in the meantime it's warm and has a ton of life left in it, so why not pass it on?
