Having a lighter-life: Clothing and other stuff in our
closets. This is my favorite place to
organize and go through stuff. I have
always looked forward to changing my clothing for the seasons and more
importantly get rid of the pieces I don’t love or fit or…. Since I have already donated 3 wardrobe boxes
packed with clothing, accessories, shoes and multiple shopping bags full of
items throughout the year. I have gone
from multiple closets to one small one.
This is some of the criteria I used to limit my closet:
-If it doesn’t service me by helping me look my best---it is
gone(and we all know what looks good—if you have questions, ask an honest
buddy) I held on to many things that didn’t fit well but I liked—now they are
gone.
-Pay attention to what colors, styles and structure of items
you like or wear often and that is a good indicator of your personal
style. Don’t follow trends—I am a
personal fan of black and white and bottoms with pockets.
-If something isn’t in good shape (like shoes scuffed,
missing buttons, sticking zippers…) it is a sign to let it go.
-Because I do not want to spend more time and money taking
care of clothing/accessories…anything that needs dry cleaning and in some cases
hand washing is gone.
-Use good hangers and take care of your things. (no wire
hangers!)
If possible, please donate to charities directly that offer
items to the clients they serve (homeless shelters esp.)
