closet cleaning question....

I have a closet cleaning question...

So I have these nice button up shirts and two suit jackets I used to wear when I taught creative writing. Now I work in a fairly casual office (cardigans and dress pants, knee-length skirts and blouses, etc), so I find myself very rarely wearing the button ups and Never wearing the blazers.

My question is this--should I hold on to these things in case I get a new job that requires this type of dress, or should I donate them to someone who would wear them more now?

I say I like the button down and jeans or blazer and jeans look, but I don't personally Ever wear it...

I know it would be at least a year before I would be able to work a new job, and I'd only really be looking for teaching jobs again. I'm not even sure if a woman who teaches creative writing would be expected to wear a blazer?

anyways, any advice on this would be very welcome! My apartment is small and I hate to hang on to clothes for no reason!
