How to Take Back Your Closet in 3 Easy Moves!

It's that time of year when you need to take back ownership of your closet. I know mine was really starting to get crowded, and unfortunately it was full of stuff I wasn't even wearing. The first thing you'll want to do is remove all articles of clothing that look frumpy, don't fit, or are just not your color.

Next go back through and pull out anything that you have not worn in the last two years. Seriously, if you have not worn it by now then it is not going to be worn anytime soon. And it's wasting it's time in your closet when someone else could be enjoying it. (Do allow yourself to keep those favorite pair of skinny jeans that you plan to squeeze yourself back into one day!)

A little trick for next year is to hang everything in your closet facing right. Then after you wear an item, place it back in the closet facing left. At the end of the season, you can easily remove the items that are still facing right.

Ok so now you have all of the unwanted items, and now it's time to separate them into different groups. Make one pile of items "good enough" to sell at your local resale shop or on eBay, and another pile for donation. The cool thing is once your old items sell, you can go out and buy this season's cute new spring fashions. Do not be afraid to completely purge your closet, you will thank yourself later.
