Although I've given away several items and taken loads upon loads of clothes to Goodwill, I still have a few items hanging around my closet from my largest size - mostly 3X and 26/28. We're talking winter coats, dresses, boots, jeans - all just hanging around my closet with no one to wear them.
Since it's a great time of year to gift someone a gently used winter coat or pair of boots (read: it's downright COLD), I figured why not make it fun and give away each item still lingering in my closet one by one on my blog in a holiday giveaway of sorts I'm very originally titling "12 Days of Christmas Giveaway." Much more interesting than taking another load to Goodwill, yes?
So for the next 12 days I will post an item from my closet that no longer fits. Each day I will accept comments from readers interested in winning the item either for themselves or feel free to pick stuff up for your mom, sister, aunt, cousin, friend (just as long as it goes to someone you know for free).
If there are multiple comments, I will use a random number generator (like random.org) to choose the winner. I'll ship it out to you the next day and wa-lah you have a new gently used, new to you item to wear!
To kick it off, my first item is actually a pair of boots that were gifted to me last year by fellow kick-ass Fitblogger, Cyndi.
They are gray suede material that hit me (I'm 6'0") just a few inches below my knee. They are a flat, size 11, wide calf boot (21" when measured on the outside of the boot), with elastic at the shaft. Best of all, they practically look new. Not to mention, they are super cute (if you haven't noticed, Cyndi is quite fashion conscious).
The goods:
Leave a comment by midnight TOMORROW, Dec. 12th (Ok, I guess technically it would be midnight on Tuesday) to be entered in winning these! And check back at 8 am tomorrow for the next item in the series!

This is a great way to get rid of the stuff you don't need/want anymore!
What are the odds that I wear a size 11 shoe and have wide calves? Boots that are cute that fit around my calves are either impossible to find or extremely pricey!
I would love these :)
That is amazingly!! Id love to give those to my daughter!! She has large calves and its so very hard to find boots for her. Thank you for the chace to win!
i have pretty big calves and it is basically impossible to find boots that fit. it would be so great to win these! it would give me one less thing to hunt malls and online stores for this winter. :)
Wow, they're actually my size! I've never had boots that fit my calves (sad but true). What a great idea this giveaway is! I think next year, when I have a closet full of too big clothes, I'll do the same!
Very nice article about Wide calf boots & how to get best quality, and affordable boots.
