I've had church clothes for over thirty years. I blend in. Well maybe not completely.

those clothes are like bad reminders for some. My suits are worth some big bux. I'm not getting rid of them just because I was a Witness!

Cant stand the thought of wearing mine..gave them away .De-clutering my mind, my wardrobe and all my watchtower
and awake mags went inside the bin. I am now reading books and educating myself.

Minimus:
You don't have to get rid of expensive clothing if they still fit and look good.
Why not try wearing some of them to occasions now and superimpose a new memory to these particular outfits. I have a particularly nice coat I used to wear to the memorial and instead of throwing it out, I am going to wear it again to other places. If you work in an office like me, then you can wear these suits.
The only things I got rid of from my JW days are some particularly dowdy or overly-long dresses I felt compelled to wear because I was scrutinized and didn't want to look "sexy".
Now, I only wear longer, stylish dresses for the summer (no stockings) when I don't want my white legs to show. Has nothing to do with modesty. Rest of the year I wear shorter lengths with hose.
Everything in my closet is up-to-date.

Only when applying for a job (anyone need a killer salesman in NL)? I could even sell my mother if she was still alive!
